Can New Animated Series 'Bitcoin and Friends' Make Bitcoin Fun Again?

[buwaytress]

Not sure if this has been posted before, but a new cartoon on Youtube was launched yesterday. I enjoyed the trailer and the first episode, I think the amount asked for is worth 100x more than any ICO I've ever seen.

What do you guys think? First Episode: Tears of a Clown here.

Excerpt from the article:

A hand reaches out in the dim, a keyboard clack. Command lines flood up on a screen to the tinkling of electronic clatter. An orange sphere enters view, the command to awake received. No, wait, a coin. With a marking below his face perhaps interpretable as the 'B' alphabet.

A confused, shaky greeting is the first utterance from 'B' as its creator looms over him. A cryptic message is issued. Then he is abandoned. Left to discover who or what his nature is in an unforgiving world.

Yet 'B' is not without friends.

I think this is great because all we know are people are love watching cartoon even not kids but also an adult they will watch also cartoon. It is good and advantage of bitcoin because people may know and understand the real essens of bitcoin. But the scary scenario is when the cartoon will directed of an lack of knowledge director I think this is not good in bitcoin industry.

Just watched the video, basically it is good video but I dont really like some scenes such as the old man doing a suicide with a handgun and the scenes of two person showing their c*cks. Probably those scenes are usual for some countries but it is a bit vulgar for some other countries.
Overall, the youtube channel should create videos which appropriate to all people around the world.

It already crossed 7K views , Hope it helps in spreading the awareness.

Youtube is not the creator, you need to ask the creator or just leave the message below the video.

Just watched the video, It's interesting and the same time bothersome. Every time he found a block he always pukes mini bitcoin. I guess the story is inspired by the US 2008 financial crisis which many US citizen has been hit by poverty.

Make Bitcoin fun again? Lol. The truth is that the majority of the world population believe that Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies are basically a ponzi scheme and that they will fade away with time thanks to all the controversies which is why a single cartoon will not change their perception of it.

Time is the solution to this problem. With time, they will understand that Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies have some value and they might change their perception.

Thanks for the comments guys, it's art, so of course there's a lot of ways to do it, and I agree, the content may not be pleasant for everyone... which is what the article warns about when it says "less sanitised" than the actual video.

I think the team behind it thinks that a lot of people take Bitcoin too seriously. Just only need to look up the latest Twitterstorms to see personalities slugging it out over bragging rights on "who knows better" or "who makes more compelling argument".

Like it or not, if it's mainstream adoption that people really want, they've got to really enjoy Bitcoin first.

 I've personally didn't liked it and that's probably because I don't like anime series in general. Some else said that it contains some unusual scenes and I think that's bad for an animated series since it should be allowed only for people that are at least 18 years old so kids should be restricted to watch an animated series wivh is kind of a disadvantage in my opinion.

Animation is a good concept of easily expose the entire world. But majority of the peoples are never like this option because of day to day lifestyle and schooling experience. Upcoming students are rule the future economy so we better start this year it will help to future investors. Already many countries are teach the blockchain technology and cryptography so this the right startup.

That was a good video, and I like it. The image was smooth and clear. Maybe you need to have to change the plot and delete the scene about "not good scene" (I think you know what I mean).

Maybe you can add or create another video that will be good for kids to watched and share it into Youtube as you've done before.
But after all, it's a good video, and I will wait for the next video. Thank you for sharing to us.

It already crossed 7K views , Hope it helps in spreading the awareness.

Its already 9.6k and counting.I dont know if these views came from speculators or into bitcoin users itself.

Its never been fun yet this video contain scenes which isnt really appropriate for young minds.

[hugeblack]

The whole story is similar to the imagination used in The Simpsons series, many scenes are not directed to children so it is not recommended for family viewing in many areas.
To be honest in my evaluation, I only watched 5 minutes of the video but I hope that some fundamental changes will occur.

We want production and stories similar to GOT.

Watched the first episode and I can't say I like it. There is too much garbage in it, the jokes are stale and I can't see how it can make bitcoin fun again. But there is the basic information about bitcoin which can be informative to newbies in cryptocurrency. It can be reworked so that it can be appropriate and entertaining to more people.

Saw them getting pushed by a crypto news site. I just saw the first episode and sheesh!#@#^% that was grim as fuck!
But I guess it's not meant for "kids".

It's already got 10k views let's see how far it gets in terms of viewership. If it can't push adoption - which would be an unrealistic expectation anyways, it would at least provide some hours of entertainment to plebs who are new to crypto.

If you are talking about "Fun" the only thing I could think off is having a huge gain from Bitcoin not unless this cartoon made it happen I don't think it can make Bitcoin fun again. Speaking off the cartoon itself I think that there is that poor-man's Arrow vibe showing to it and I guess it will pass to the general audience who are adults watching it, the only thing I can think off is that it will only be bearable for people who are already into Bitcoin or the cryptocurrency industry.

The only thing that made it funny was the semi-accurate depiction of Vitalik lol

I wonder if he'll come after the creators and sue them..

For a first episode I think it is alright but as you said there is a lot of room left for improvement in order for people to want to watch it regularly.

The videos was promoted on different forums and websites so I guess the views are going from people that are interested in bitcoin. It would be interesting to see some statistics that show how many minutes a person watched it on average.

The cartoon is fun in a sense of the humor behind it, them showing a man buying drugs in on a ice cream truck shows subtle hints related to Bitcoin's early past even if the man didn't show he is buying the drugs with Bitcoin. But for the "fun" the OP is asking in his title I don't think it will reach to that level I am referring too as this is just merely a cartoon that I don't think personally can change the price of Bitcoin.

This is great! Thanks for sharing this. I have posted it on my Twitter too.

In my opinion, the video was a complete nonsense it is kind of weird watching it with some crazy stuff, Well I think the story was about bitcoin finding his father and that is Satoshi, But I really think that they shouldn't go with that plot but instead focus more on how bitcoin emerged and how bitcoin can help every people and how bitcoin can become their savior one day, But I guess that is a part where there are different scenarios that have subliminal messages in it so I don't really judge the animator of this animation, if you would think of how bitcoin struggle to know himself there are people that are using him for criminal activity for porn purposes for personal use and stuff, but there are friends that let's bitcoin go to the top and help him grow even more, But there is a sense on weirdness in it that got me wondering but whatever.
