We need a MrBitcoin like MrBeast to increase Bitcoin adoption.

[Kakmakr]

I do not know if you are familiar with the MrBeast streamer on Youtube. The guy has over 24 million subscribers and all he does is making crazy videos , where he and his friends are giving money away for free. I reckon if we can get one of our Bitcoin millionaires to start a MrBitcoin channel and instead of giving away cash, he or she gives away bitcoin. 

We could also try to introduce MrBeast to Bitcoin to see if he would be willing to make a Bitcoin video, where he gives away bitcoins for free.  Most of his videos gets millions of views, so this will increase exposure to Bitcoin to people all over the world.

MrBitcoin can fund his channel with the selling of Bitcoin merchandise, like MrBeast is doing at the moment. Well, this and also the advertising income he receives from Youtube.

What do you think?

The only MrBitcoin for me was Satoshi Nakamoto, I don't think it's satisfying if we're receiving free bitcoin on him since he/she already created the bitcoin and blockchain, that's enough for me.

Bitcoin was very precious than USD, whoever MrBitcoin is, his/her giveaway was limited to some dates because we knew that the market wasn't stable, it might affect his/her too. IMO, all of the users that consists huge amount of bitcoin was affiliated with a business category so they will not waste any bitcoin they have at this point just to gain popularity like mrBEAST.

Well, MrBitcoin will be getting more bitcoins out of this, than what he would be giving away. Remember Bitcoin companies could sponsor some of these videos for advertisement.. Also, when Mr. Beast visit a Bitcoin merchant, that merchant would get FREE advertising.  

Imagine Overstock <first large Bitcoin merchant> sponsoring a good video and getting millions of views?  I bet you, if this takes off, other Bitcoin companies would also start to sponsor some videos.

MrBitcoin might also visit smaller online shops that accepts Bitcoin as a payment option and buy all their items that are on offer. When Fiat merchants sees this, they might start to adopt Bitcoin in the hope that MrBitcoin would visit them too.    

[serjent05]

Interesting idea, but aside from money or sponsor problem, how do we teach users to set up Bitcoin wallet easily without using custodial and make sure they got common security sense.

It is quite simple, down his video discription, he can then put links of tutorials on how to setup Bitcoins and how to secure it safely.


It would be a great idea if someone from the Bitcoin whales will heed what OP suggests.  Imagine over 20m subscriber to be notified once the video about Bitcoin advertisement is created by Mr.Beast plus the  promotional giveaways of BTC.  This sure can cater more interest than what we imagine.

If that so, I would like to initiate to be MrBitcoin haha!
Sponsors through free advertising was a great deal and bitcoin for an exchange but still, it's a great responsibility to entertain people with a vast knowledge of bitcoin.

Imagine Overstock <first large Bitcoin merchant> sponsoring a good video and getting millions of views?  I bet you, if this takes off, other Bitcoin companies would also start to sponsor some videos.

mrBitcoin should have at least good standards so he can promote the legit one.

[Bountyhonter]

MrBeast isn't just giving away money he might also be earning from sponsored ads and Google Adsense and using part of the money for his giveaways

[Decksperiment]

It is important to recognize the power of social media platforms to hasten Bitcoin's adoption and these are proven effective tools to spread influence! Now I also think we can also do things even in our own little ways to spread awareness on Bitcoin and that starts even with an ordinary conversation among our peers

Yes, I can imagine if there is a character of Mr. Bitcoin that can be known to many people besides us users of the Blockchain. Indirectly, it will boost the number of Bitcoin adoptions. If there is, then who and from whom funds to realize this.

[franky1]

before even trying to do gimmicks to get people to buy bitcoin under the ruse of saying its 'digital cash'. there needs to be a resurrection of projects aimed at getting merchant adoption onboard again.
by resurrection i mean just that. i seen plenty of it in 2012-2015 but then it died out when core decided to treat btc as a reserve investment and not digital cash.
(btc being the digital gold asset locked up and LN's millisats being the gold backed promisory notes(bank notes))

if the only reason to advertise to people is to say the price will rise. then that is a crap advertisement.

i totally understand some holders only desire to get new people in, so that the new people can raise the price just so the holders can exit. but thats just selfish and just about going back to fiat rich. much like adverts for ponzis do by not advertising any utility the asset offers but just promising gains in returns
when advertising has nothing to do with bitcoins purpose or features or options and just about 'get rich quick' then it tars bitcoin with a scammy, scheming gimmick.

just check out this board. more people are only wanting to talk about how to pump bitcoins price and not how to get new merchants onboard

i know a few people will reply with 'but whats wrong with it just being a investment'.. the answer is that those saying such dont care about bitcoins future once they exit richer.

so until people start caring less about their exit to fiat strategy and instead start caring about what can bitcoin be used to buy whilst staying in the community. its not worth advertising it.
many people have been sold on the digital cash pitch only to find its pretty much useless as such in most towns, thus not truly a valued asset, but just a pricey asset.

[CryptoBry]

This can be a good idea. Now, we really need to find somebody who is willing to give away some of his hoard of Bitcoin for this idea to prosper. Actually giving Bitcoin is not so different with the faucets which became popular when Bitcoin was just a young and unknown fellow. I am sure anybody can be interested to receive some free Bitcoin and though many will just convert them to cash the point is that this is a good promotion just like giving away free samples of products we can find in supermarkets. I hope some people here in the forum are willing to adopt this idea or maybe we can even ask this very forum to spearhead a promotion like this.

[Lanatsa]

What do you think?

Example of some of his videos --->  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=foLlul8Tl3E or https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3TflpIllQHY

I don't think he would consider it out unless if hes that kind of person which is open-minded then he might able to take the bait.
Raising up a channel that had kind of amount of subs wont really be that easy no matter how millionaire you are it would still takes time to complete those numbers.
Therefore, you wont have any choice but to convince that dude neither introduce or do imply Bitcoin or advertise it on his channel for some
certain amount of fee for that kind of advertisement.This would neither impact or not because we know that most audience are online games oriented.
So it will matter on how he do explain to the masses on what Bitcoin is all about and curiosity would comes next.

[meanwords]

This won't work I think. The only reason why Mr. Beast can spend a lot of money is because he is being funded by thousands or even millions of people and being sponsored by companies.  If we make MrBitcoin, he would need a lot of money in order to do absurd things. In this crypto space, every cryptocurrency is important and I don't think people will be able to fund him. Dollar is nothing and can be printed in many times but Bitcoin has a fixed supply so Bitcoin would be much more expensive.

[pooya87]

the problem here (apart from getting newbies who want to get rich quick which was mentioned before) is that unlike fiat you first have to educate people about bitcoin, you can't just hand over some coins and wish it helps adoption. most of them would just go to some website like coinbase, dump it and get out.
if you want a MrBitcoin then check out Andreas Antonopoulos content on youtube. he is the "real" MtBitcoin that is educating people with correct information instead of hyping them up and telling them "you'll become rich overnight".

[goinmerry]

This won't work. MrBeast videos became most watched because of the content that caught anyone attention.

Bitcoin or crypto, even how good it is can't just easily catch anyone's attention due to lack of interest.

But if ever, there's someone who will do this. I will support it.

[Janation]

But that would also mean that MrBitcoin should have a good amount of Bitcoin.

MrBeast truly is popular but that is also because he has a lot of money to spare to his videos.

He makes challenges or games using the money he earned from his pasts videos. I don't think people would be wanting to spend their Bitcoin that much, maybe there are some but most of the people I know won't be doing that.

[davis196]

We don't need a social media clown like MrBeast to promote bitcoin.I think that 90% of his subscribers and viewers are kids and teens.This isn't the perfect demographic,if we want fast adoption,however it might help in the long run.I remember that Pewdiepie had some cryptocurrency related videos back in the day,but it was  just comedy.

[dupee419]

Damn, I like the idea, I mean MrBeast is HUGE and if  someone was to put something with the same content but on a different  aspect which is Bitcoin then I think that content creator(YouTuber) would probably become internet famous and not only that but MrBeast started off as a very small channel and had nothing to start up with his YouTube channel but when he got recognized even more he gain more of what he gives and as a result, he'll be able to give out more, he's strategy is simple and he uses his money to help out people instead of spending it on useless stuff, and if someone in the BTC community would be as generous as he would be then I think that's a good idea.

Well, it's because people weren't taking cryptocurrency seriously back then, and if there would be a same MrBeast in terms of Bitcoin then I don't think he'd have kids and teens watching him, probably people who are just looking out for entertainment, it's not all about giving and donating, it's by simply helping out people, it's not only self-promotion, it's also promoting cryptocurrency, I don't even think people classified him as a social media clown rather than a guy who is willing to help out, he uses comedy to not only put MONEY around the content he does because that would be extremely boring and would make him look like he's only promoting his self and the amount of money he can give, we want a MrBeast in the crypto community but NOT EXACTLY the attitude and the looks of the MrBeast in YouTube, you're getting the whole point wrong.

[dupee419]

Exactly the content that I'll be looking out for when a 'MrBeast' in the crypto industry would start off.

Andreas Antonopoulos do not have 24.3 million subscribers and that is not the kind of content that people want on Youtube. Yes, Andreas's videos are very educational, but people want something a lot more fun and that is exactly what MrBeast are giving them. If we can clone MrBeast's winning recipe for fun and port it into MrBitcoin, then we can also gather that kind of exposure.    <MrBitcoin will be the bitcoin version of MrBeast>

There are also a lot of "rich" bitcoiners that can donate some bitcoin towards a project like this and they will get a higher price for their remaining bitcoins, because the higher adoption goes... the higher the price will go.

You had a point but how because satoshi nakamoto want their identity private and anonymous, if ever this scenario come nothing doubt bitcoin become too expensive and people encourage to adopt bitcoin woldwide to invest in tgis new form of money.

[finaleshot2016]

I like the idea of MrBitcoin to be near and close to the name of the known content creator who gives free money. With the idea of giving free bitcoins well the guy should be someone who's really wealthy and considered as a whale to the point that the bitcoins he's giving won't affect his total holdings.

As per the OP said, it will not affect his total holdings because he'll have sponsors and will promote any known campaign. The challenge for MrBitcoin should be entertaining and most of the community supports his way and approach when it comes to BTC.

It is impossible for someone to be MrBitcoin if he only has the bitcoin for giveaways, sense of humor and being an intellectual must include as one of the requirements.

here's what @Kakmakr stated regarding bitcoin for giveaways;

Well, MrBitcoin will be getting more bitcoins out of this, than what he would be giving away. Remember Bitcoin companies could sponsor some of these videos for advertisement.. Also, when Mr. Beast visit a Bitcoin merchant, that merchant would get FREE advertising.

Now that I knew the factors to be MrBitcoin, I think it's really hard, it's someone that is very extraordinary and very responsible.

[Kakmakr]

It is not something that is going to happen over night, but 1 good video to start things off, with enough bitcoins being given away, would surely gather a lot of views and possibly a lot of subscriptions on Youtube.

Imagine if a large Bitcoin company like Coinbase sets aside $1 000 000 for a few videos and you start with a $100 000 prize for the recruiting process to find the ideal candidate for MrBitcoin and you get a small panel to decide who this person or persons are going to be... and you bundle all those videos into 1 MrBitcoin channel... 

It is all about advertising and most companies have marketing budgets for advertising already, so why not spend some money on creating our own MrBitcoin.

It might be a good idea, at least when it comes to introducing younger generations to BTC and crypto. Most have heard about it, but it seems far away and abstract to them. A good, recognizable icon might increase interest and exposure alike. I mean, it's not like we can count on Satoshi to start a yt channel and start doing bits to market it.

MrBeast isn't just giving his money for free. he's giving money from sponsorships. so being only a millionaire is not enough to do this. if MrBeast would have been spending his own money. he would got finished already.
and he didn't started giving away money from beginning. he have been creating so many other contents and built his channel and following first. nowdays his most videos are giveaways. but in past he mostly made other videos. and he's probably giving extra money. and keeping his profit.
 
so if someone want to do something like that in Bitcoin. he must have lots of extra money.

[redsun114]

I think that you have  a point here we need people with lots of follower to create more awareness of bitcoin for us to their followers and fans, just like we have some musicians and some football team do that now, if we can get Mr. beast as you said to help us create some video about bitcoin and may even do some bitcoin promo also by giving out some rewards, we will surely get adoption from there also, but who is going to sponsor this campaign because everything all depend on money.

If bitcoin was a single man's project, it would have been easier to do so and coordinate it, but as you know that bitcoin is for everyone, so no in individual would want to take up that responsibility for him or herself, and we don’t have Any association. I think that Facebook project that is coming will still be the most eye opener for cryptocurrency because when it comes to Facebook, we are not dealing with millions of fans, but billions of fans.

[rdbase]

I was just introduced to mrbeast during shuffling through some videos on youtube when I stumbled upon someone buying a car dealership and selling the cars there for low prices. I mean the highest price for a used car was $16.
This would bring more people to test out and try what they can do with bitcoin if they are given out a substantial amount of it.
But then so were people who visited crypto twitter accounts saying they were giving away ethereum for free but ended up getting taken for a ride.
So people are skeptical now when anyone says they are giving out something for free. Cause in the end there is usually a catch and they have to end up forking over something in return.
When it came to those crypto twitter giveaways the recipients always had to send in some ethereum in order to get the entire amount promised to them. But of course this never happened.

[Ucy]

I doubt the "guys at the top" will like the. They could even compel youtube to indirectly censor the videos when they start getting great views.

I remember seeing videos of popular youtubers talking about Bitcoin back in 2017. They usually focus more on the advantages of Cryptocurrency without talking much about disadvantages. I think the information should be balanced to prevent those who cannot tolerate risk from joining the community.

This is one real suggestion though and a good one that can be harnessed because when it comes to increasing the penetration of bitcoin every idea is welcome no matter how little. My concern is if it will make the required impact as that is one thing that frustrate people more especially those who will be committing their resources for such project. 'Free money' tends to attract people who are not serious about the entire project but just interested in the short term returns they are getting and the moment the flow stops, they move on to something else. Alternatively, I think what should be done is crypto service providers should be encouraged to give coupons or discount to used on their platforms rather than cash as this would go a long way in ensuring there is some understanding and get some people keyed in the process.

[maxreish]

MrBeast isn't just giving away money he might also be earning from sponsored ads and Google Adsense and using part of the money for his giveaways

But MrBeast is sharing what Googe adsense were given out to him. And OP has a good idea. The only question that cross my mind, who could be the MrBitcoin who are willing to give some of his btc? A great idea to spread awareness and for the people to know what bitcoin really is. Satoshi Nakamoto will never do that since he is still not willing to be exposed. Anyone here wants to be MrBitcoib that share his btc?

[Mandoy]

If we do make a marketing campaign or some short of promotion just like what Mr Beast is doing then surely bitcoin will become famous and popular but it does not mean the possibility of adoption will increase. But one thing for sure the impact of these promotional move is not to only increase bitcoins popularity but also to increase bitcoin users. And since we will be giving out bitcoin to the audience using you tube then surely many will watch and comment for the hope that they can be selected to win bitcoin. Surely they will prepare their wallet at hand and they will also tell their friends and so we will expect a hundred or thousand new bitcoin users if we do this kind of stuff.

[Astvile]

MrBeast isn't just giving away money he might also be earning from sponsored ads and Google Adsense and using part of the money for his giveaways

Surely he earns more money than what he is giving away and to think that he has some friends who is surely getting paid for every videos they do im sure he is not just giving away the money stated on the video but even more for his friends and relatives.
Mrbeats paycheck should be big for him to afford giving such money.

[blckhawk]

Your idea is great, however, it would take a lot of time to get traction. People already know fiat from the beginning, that's why MrBeast got hold of his large fanbase. But it has potential, and to know what people's reaction will be after given and educated to bitcoin would be beneficial to the market, increased awareness of the public and potentially increase the demand. Another problem is who, that one is willing to risk giving bitcoin from his wallet, started uploading in Youtube and may, or may not become a success.

[bitbunnny]

I don't agree that only one person, no matter who he/she is and how great who/she is can help with Bitcoin adoption.
What we need is systematic aproach and global promotion through different chanels, media, expert gatherings, awarness campaigns and similar. One person could be "the face" of some Bitcoin campaign but it can't do everything on its on.

[fiulpro]

Well I don't think it could be a good idea for the people doing the since they have spent days earning those coins and all and giving that much charity is something you think about like 50 times , therefore it could be hard for people to actually do it ..
Also it cannot be on for always it could just be done as a publicity stunt , for a while ..
Finding people in bitcoins interested to give away theirs for the benefit of the community is a hard task.

I don't really agree with your statement. One person can become very influential, and one perfect example (positive or negative, take it as you wish) is John McAfee. If you've been closely watching the last year markets and news, you would know how much power of manipulation a person can have in a community. Although he had (and still has) lots of negative rep in the crypto community for the market manipulation of the last year, I believe he had an influence on Bitcoin adoption too.

Now don't jump on me for "praising McAfee" because I'm not doing that. It's just a good example in my opinion for how a single person can have so much influence and change the course of markets with just a few words.

You guys got many wild ideas here but some suggestions can be doable over a period of time, the main ingredients here are: one, finding the guy that can be the MrBitcoin and two, of course, getting the money or sponsorship. And let us not forget there is a need for someone or a group to coordinate this whole thing as we can never have a body without the head.

As to John McAfee, I do agree that in today's online and social media crazy era, a single person can be a huge influence over a huge number of the population and with the help of the mainstream and crypto-focused media as well as YouTube. We are seeing that now with different popular and rich celebrities. Now speaking of celebrities, I think that is where we should be picking up our MrBitcoin.

Almost all centralized and business-oriented platforms have their own marketing departments overseeing the brand names and the promotions of the products and they can be spending millions of dollars just to convince people to get engaged and buy. As a decentralized platform, we don't have that in Bitcoin.

[bounceback]

it's amazing to him because mr beats has 24 million subscriptions on his YouTube channel and the average viewer reaches 20 million and above per month he certainly earns a lot of income from the youtube channel it's natural that mr beats gives his money to people just to make content video, just try it for example there is mrbitcoin which has a youtube channel like mr beast there is a possibility we will get a bitcoin prize every day even with a small amount.

It's quite boring to see someone transferring bitcoin to others in a video, the way how cash is impacting the quality of the content is really big. There's really a big difference between tangible and wireless. And for me, it is not quite good to see someone just giving money or bitcoins, what I want is for us to work hard to achieve our desire and not being dependent even if they are willing to give.

Copying someone's success just isn't the right thing to do. If MrBeast is successful, that doesn't guarantee the success of a "MrBitcoin". Moreover, copying him would automatically turn into bad reputation. We don't want a "Made in China" replica of him. We need something new, innovative and whoever will have the needed ability, charisma and success will do it sometime in the future.

There are corporations and rich personalities who could sponsor someone in BTC. Even Microsoft accepted (I believe they removed this payment method) BTC at one point so even they might have some. HTC surely does hold Bitcoin as they have placed Blockchain phones on sale. It could happen, but once again, copying a youtuber is a silly idea imo. We need to find the success another way.
