What would you do for $5 of bitcoins?

[Ryland R. Taylor-Almanza]

I still need ideas though. I asked people on facebook, but so far the best idea was, "ride your bike into a mailbox while no handing it backwards," and even if I was good enough at riding backwards to do that, I don't think people would be nearly interested enough in that to get 5000 views. I'm thinking a lot bigger than that.

What skills do you have... bmxing, skateboarding... what about other things that do well on YouTube: play any instruments?  Do humour? Any technical skills that you could make 'how-to' video for?  Can you do animation?  Can you rap?  Any small kids in your household?  Baby videos are always big hits. 

The only other thing I'm very good at is computer stuff like programming and robotics, but theres so many how-to's for that kind of stuff, it would be hard to get just 1 view.  I play a lot of instruments, but not particularly well on any specific instrument. My humor is too spontaneous to do any kind of standup. I know how to make animations, but only horrible ones. No small kids here. I think the best skill I have in terms of getting peoples attention is the ability to force myself to do things I'm scared of and could potentially injure me.

Make a robot do the bike stunt!!!!!!

[Ryland R. Taylor-Almanza]

We now have a few ideas:

• Put me in a trash can at the top of a crazy, steep, tall baranca hill. Then duct tape the lid shut, and my freinds will run and kick me down.
• Light my pants on fire, and I will have to jump a fence to make it to safety (The pool on the other side.)
• Ride full speed down another crazy, steep hill on my skateboard, and then start trying tricks.

Do you think any (or all) of these will get 5000 views?

[TiagoTiago]

Those don't sound all that original...

[Ryland R. Taylor-Almanza]

Exactly. I'm not good at making ideas for things like this. I'm just offering myself to do stupid stuff, but no one came up with anything specific, so that's all I came up with. I'm still open to suggestions.

How about surfing a bike (stand with one foot on the seat and the other on the handlebar) that is being pulled by a car with a rope or chain, going faster and faster, around corners etc, while your clothes are on fire and your "friends" are trying to shoot at you with paintball guns, with the paintballs spiked with liquid from peper sprays?

How much to cream pie someone and film the outcome ?

Creampie ? ¬.¬

I'd actually be willing to do that if I wouldn't get in so much trouble (except the pepper spray part. I heard that stuff hurts a ton!) Of course, I probably wouldn't last long at all, but I'd try. Ideas like that guys!

lol a pie in the face not the link you gave

Yeah, 'cause actual fire on top of asphalt burns wouldn't hurt much... xD

lol, I guess it's kind of one of those fears of the unknown kind of things. I've had my clothes on fire, and I've experienced hitting asphault at high speeds, but I've never touched pepper spray

You're in SoCal right?  Probably you run into celebrities all the time down there.  Can you get a video of Paris Hilton with a sign saying "will work for bitcoins" or maybe Charlie Sheen with a sign "bitcoin, for winners"?

It seems thinking of good video ideas is more difficult than one might expect.


Do you know any people that already have a YouTube channel and get a few viewers regularly?

Look at this! 5$ of bitcoins!

Lightning Network and other second-layer upgrades will have happened and transactions will be instantaneous and free. Also, the $5 worth of BTC from this thread would be worth tens if not hundreds of millions today.

[Kawasakinamoto]

I would trade it because i know it will grow the size of my btc even with only that amount.

[eysiiizxc26]

I will save it and earn more Bitcoin.

[Jeremy O`Brein]

I would not do anything for $ 5
