Cryptomania: The Bitcoin Bop [Animation]

[ADAMA_NOW]

Hey Folks,

I've been following Bitcoin since 2013, and started making this animation at the start of the Golden Bull run of 2017. I would love to know what the community thinks of my work, and hopefully enjoy the hours/days/months I put into this video to promote the message and philosophy of Bitcoin.

Lol, that was crazy. I liked it so much and that must have taken so much effort you should be proud of it. I like how the little bitcoin man walks and the scene progresses through the ages. I love how the bank was blown up at the beginning. The animation is pretty cool and when satoshi appears it gets a bit weird what with the wizzard attacking and everything. Then very colourful and like you on a colour trip.

All the HODL signs on the way while he rides the train. It is very cute. Riding that bitcoin train for sure. Pretty much everything in the video is symbolic of something and very relevalent. It tells a story and it is progresses literally since the screen constantly moves.

Thanks so much, I appreciate your note.  I know the video gets a little crazy, but it all has meaning. If you noticed at the 01:18 mark, their is a "Hash Rate" character is smoking a pipe. He is exhaling binary, and then the famous Bitcoin Wizard Meme statue has a similar effect. I was trying to convey a hallucination. This turns the Bitcoin Wizard alive, and he then fights the banker. The trip goes bad, and then then market crashes...but the Bitcoin community keeps building. The banker is not supposed to be Satoshi, it is supposed to the banker that gets hit at the beginning - the banker loses the monopoly over the exchange of value. The meteor that hits the bank is supposed to be the gensis block.

I hope to make a video explaining all this with a voice over - but I have to see if there is any real interest in it. Please share the video if you can with any fans of crypto.

I love it! I've always been a fan of the pixel art sort of animations, and I've never seen a lot of them due to how popular hand drawn animations are, and this is great!

It definitely looks like you spent a lot of time on this, from just starting at the background the train is going past, I see so many references to items in our industry, and it's amazing...

Why don't you finish it! I'd love to see this again with a voiceover!!

That was enjoyable. I loved the old style graphics to be fair. Brought me back to my childhood. Was funny how Fud stopped the bitcoin train and some random guy grabbed the coin hahaha. A lot of information was spent here and you can see the effort put in it by placing each and everyone in the video. I wanna ride that train alright, but not stopped by FUD hahha. Great job mate, should be able to spread the message of bitcoin and at the same time have fun and enjoyment about it

I love it! please add your Bitcointalk link to your YouTube channel so we make sure you are the real owner of this channel.
Also, why not mention the bitcointalk forum, some discussions like bitcoin pizza, bitcoin core, and other things.
Fantastic music, attractive design, excellent animated background, and a lot of mystery in the scenes, I liked it.

Thanks hugeblack. I've included the link to this thread under the "Social" title in the description box of my YouTube video to confirm ownership of the video. I will delete the link in a few days because I want to keep things neat and tidy - haha.

This is great! I loved the part with all the green candles in the background and then the moon shows up. Btw, I didn't understand the reference starting at 1:40 min all the way to the 2:38 min...that whole part was very trippy LOL

Also, post it on Reddit, maybe that's the place where the video could finally go viral 

[buwaytress]

Tomahawk's spot on on Reddit. If you haven't posted this anywhere else before, that's where it'll get the love it deserves.

I thought it peaked too soon though, and maybe need to watch it 2 or 3 times to find some things I missed but damn, Adama, I loved this more than anything else I've seen recently, seriously!

P.S A week or two more of posts and you'll be Member in to time!

The video was cute, wise and cool. I really like the entrance of the story when a man went out of the bank a flash of light hits the bank. I do not know if that was laser or lightning. The characters were very nice they look like the minions and the happy face emojis. The overall animation was great and the story it conveys about bitcoin was clear. I am really happy that such animation was made I hope you will have more series about bitcoin. That is a very great job.

Entertaining!  That was awesome video, music is engaging bringing a light atmosphere that matches the scenery.

Indeed!  I like the video from the start to finish, though I missed the meaning of that wizard (probably I am slow here).

[YuginKadoya]

Wow! I absolutely love it packed all of the information and details on when Bitcoin was created, it mined, Satoshi has gone Missing, all the details and stuff was there we can see the Bitcoin Pizza, Issue Bitcoin Train that have crash to FUD's every chunk and things that are related to Bitcoin and not just Bitcoin but other cryptocurrency as well.

Great job doing this Bitcoin Bop Animation and because of that, I have given this a Thumbs up! and a bump to you. Overall I have liked the ending where we can see that bitcoin is having a Halving in 2020 and that the Bitcoin journey is not done yet.

OMG, this looks like a hell lot of work done! And IMO it looks very impressive. What I don't like is the background music, this very low background noise in it is making it unpleasant. Perhaps something less distracting could work better. Oh, and I would love to see some form of narration, maybe a comic book-like narration, but still. Perhaps a minimal plot with a character going through all the stuff we see would not hurt. The information is very intensive, a lot in one place. Maybe it's a good thing, but I guess it would be more informative if it was prolonged but had fewer elements at each period of time so that we can actually perceive everything that's going on there.

I was trying to convey a hallucination because the alt-coin market in the late 2017 was just madness. All of the colours and orbs is supposed to be the "alt coins". At the top of the scene, many fade out. I am still unsure if there will be multiple crypto-currencies, or one to rule them all. I think BTC will be the king, because of it's the first mover - but who knows!

I've tried posting to Reddit, but the subreddit rules keep blocking me out! Not enough karma, account too new (made a throw away), no memes allowed...etc.

I made the wizard as a reference to "the Bitcoin Wizard" and "Magic Internet Money" - a meme that I feel brought the first wave of mainstream adopters. The memes fighting the banker seem silly, but a real battle is happening. That is the theory anyway, haha.

Your animation was very good congratulations for this great contribution to the community, I will diuvlgar on my social networks. Keep up your work, Merit!

Love the video and as well and we all appreciate the efforts you have made to make Bitcoin grow even more. I was like in a trance watching the video, LOL but it was cool though and it made mo laugh specially seeing the wizard. I will try to show it to my friends as well and share them so that it can attract and turn no coiners to believers.

Thank you! I know it is a lot of info and over-stimulation, but I am hoping that one or two main concepts stick with people. A simple concept that I introduce no-coiners to is "digital scarcity" and "21 million". It is simple to understand, but a huge development in the digital world.

I can post it on Reddit for you, if you show me exactly how you want it to be done, but I figure you'd best just earn the karma necessary for it (not too difficult I think). You can send me a PM if you want me to do it, I dunno, this video needs to get out there haha, but sharing it already;).

P.S. Saw your other video and I found out I do get mildly nauseous watching rapidly flashing images as it turns out =p

Hey buwaytress,

You can post it anyway you feel about it!

In regards to my other video, I included a warning before hand, haha. I was making something that at the time I thought Adult Swim (and myself) would like.
