All, one way I was thinking of to promote DCEBrief on social media is infographics. They typically get a lot of traction on social media. It could be based on statistics surrounding an article, or even independent of an article on DCEBrief, or an explanation of an idea or system. If you have ideas, please let me know.
Just wanted to add, it doesn't matter if it's bitcoin related, or even blockchain related, that may even be preferable for the intended purpose. Anything digital currency related will work. An easy to understand blockchain diagram might be a good idea. Or at least I would be interested. Recently read the dcebrief article that compared crypto to the internet, something along those lines could be interesting as well. |

STANFORD UNIVERSITY COURSE COULD GROW BITCOIN COMMUNITY, SAYS PROFESSOR https://www.cryptocoinsnews.com/stanford-university-course-grow-bitcoin-community/Omg! This is great!!! "If we can start turning out 100 students a year who are experts on Bitcoin, this will really start growing the community quickly which should lead to exciting new technical advances in the future." -Professor Joseph Bonneau So when will high schools, better yet, middle schools start to teach on the subject?? Yes, this is good news! Speaking of school, I have three currently in elementary school and they watch me when I go on exchanges and do buys/trades. I am already getting them started down the path of digital currency. I show them their CRISP for Kids savings and they see how it grows. They truly are very interested in it and how money is sent "through the air" as they say. You can never start them too early. Educating the next generations about digital currency is one of the most important things we can do. They build upon what our industry has created. The financial world will be forced to offer programs and classes on digital currency. Just as schools were forced to offer computer classes. Unfortunately the first computers hit my high school the year after I graduated. The computers came in at the end of my Senior year and were sitting in the business classes I was taking for the next school year. All we could do was look at them. Yes folks, I learned on a typewriter, thankfully it was electric and not manual. |

Then we got FOUR puters, 486SX. Everyone in the office had one, including me. I said "we will never need the internet at work". What would we need internet at work for? Then we got internet, BUT only on ONE puter, and that puter was not connected to the company network. I just did not trust the damn thing (the internet). Took a few years of being stubborn, but I finally relented and allowed the internet on the company puters. That was two decades ago. Seems like a lifetime. Still remember our first "Mobile phone", a bag phone........ Smokey |

Dauphin DTR 2 1/2 lbs 386SX and 486SX windows tablets with removable 80 megabyte hard drive was clearly state of the art of the time. Technology always evolves. So will digital currency like DNotes. That is the future of money. Don't sell yourself short. The big banks that practically despised the technology a year ago are now committing large sum of money to come up with their version of centralized currency. |

That was one of our reasons for launching CRISP For Kids. My 7 year old grandson spent a day with me yesterday. When I asked him if he knew what DNotes is. He said, "It's money, Grandpa. You already showed me my savings account. It will be cool if I can use it to buy games at Apple store." I have the feeling that the next generation would ask why do we need cash. With digital currency and a smart phone you are your own bank. |

All, one way I was thinking of to promote DCEBrief on social media is infographics. They typically get a lot of traction on social media. It could be based on statistics surrounding an article, or even independent of an article on DCEBrief, or an explanation of an idea or system. If you have ideas, please let me know.
Just wanted to add, it doesn't matter if it's bitcoin related, or even blockchain related, that may even be preferable for the intended purpose. Anything digital currency related will work. An easy to understand blockchain diagram might be a good idea. Or at least I would be interested. Recently read the dcebrief article that compared crypto to the internet, something along those lines could be interesting as well. Pretty good ideas. Maybe a side by side comparison, if I can find the information, comparing: investment, users, and other landmarks? |

Thanks for this well-written article. The question is... What can be done to increase awareness in the news world? I wonder if actually contacting smaller newspapers across the nation would make a difference? Would submitting a few articles from dcebrief.com convince them? |

Great article Chris, academics provide the ammo to the media, and the studies themselves are often problematic with many hypotheses not considered, or the hypotheses being used to push political agenda at an unhelpful ring on the causal chain. To me, this leads to an 'post-ante' means of fixing things or 'after the fact', rather than actually finding the root causes of problems. The media are just culpable as academia when it comes to bias, but this is slightly less important when they are getting fed the same spaghetti information. The inputs in academia nigh always yield the same policy recommendation.
Wonderful to see 33 thousand!!! unique visitors on DCEBrief in its first month, that is widely read indeed.

From CryptoMoms: Quote from: indiamikezulu on Today at 12:38:34 AM But here's why I popped in. This is what I been waiting for: "If Glencore loses its investment grade rating as now seems likely, its access to cheap capital will evaporate and it will fail. This matters for several reasons, the most important of which is the company’s unspecified but certainly huge derivatives book which, like AIG’s in 2008, is a serious threat to the leveraged speculating community." http://www.marketoracle.co.uk/Article52462.htmlQuote From Shepherd: Mark, that is a "Scary Note". Watch for ripple effects in the coming days. I hope there is none, but that might be a little too wishful when there are "over-stressed" signs all over the world.

I am considering setting up a social sharing contest. We can do it a couple of different ways.
1) Pay each user that shares an article on social a certain amount of DNotes.
2) Each social media share gives you one entry for a bigger DNotes prize.
Or even a combination of a small award for each share, and an entry for a slightly smaller big prize.
What does everyone think would be the best way?
