 Its always good to see that bitcoin is bringing us close to our dreams, I have no doubt jk or anyone that watched it gained.
I started a webiner on what'sapp about digital money, it was a two day webiner -I invested guest speakers as well- the first day was great but participants where fellow students of my school and it was successful -so much I was surprised- the next day one of my lecturer- she is not a big name like jk but I admire her- joined the webinar and this meant so much to me- now am lecturing my lecturer- it was great she even private chatted me to commend me.
I think bitcoin is more than an assert is part of my life. Although am still learning I like to tell someone about it.

Thanks Charles, I didn't know that you have a Bitcointalk account, LOL.

And I think this is not just for J.K. Rowling, but any beginners can used this to understand the basic of bitcoin as you touch base the elemental features and put it nicely. Let's see how it goes, 10k videos now perhaps we can push and get it to 100K.

For those who are not familiar with him: https://en.bitcoinwiki.org/wiki/Charles_Hoskinson

So we really don't know what she's up to, BTC or ETH, doesn't matter I guess. At least a famous author like her will at least give crypto the needed publicity boost.

Rowling is presumably done with Bitcoin for good—leaving the crypto crowd to rue a missed opportunity. As trade publication Decrypt noted, “The geeky kids from the economics class tried their best to woo the literary type from the book club. It didn’t go well.”

^ Thx for awesome video Charles.
Regardless if JK Rowling will invest in bitcoin or not but as long as she started giving some statements about it then it is already great publicity for bitcoin. If she will invest in bitcoin and publicized it then she will be a great help for the mass adoption of bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies for more and more people will start to be aware or would even start to adopt cryptocurrency for their online transactions. Definitely these famous personalities can contribute to global awareness of the crypto world however it may still take time for people to sometimes tend to resist and afraid to adopt things that are not within their norm.

She clearly doesn't mean this bit about trolling, as I am sure her not understanding Bitcoin expands to other cryptos like Ethereum as well. It's just that perhaps following a long Twitter discussion some people hoped she'd invest and become a Bitcoin promoter, but I think it was quite clear that wasn't going to happen. In any case, it was indeed a big publicity boost, and it wasn't a negative one (all things considered, I'd call it 'neutral'). I am not sure she watched the video, even though it was posted at the time the discussion was very active, but 10k other people watched, so it wasn't done in vain! But to be honest, if I were Rowling in this situation, I would read tweets or perhaps watch a short video, but not a 25-minute one. I don't think she really wanted to gain a good understanding of Bitcoin in the first place, it looked more like a slight amount of curiosity. But the video is good for those who really have a hard trouble understanding Bitcoin and want to understand it better.

It's great that you found the time to make such a thorough review. I'll send this to a couple friends of mine who might make good use of the infos you give. Let's hope she sees it!

It looks like she has garnered some attentions already, Elon Musk replied to her.

It has become a trend now a days to say something outrageous about the bitcoin market to gain some publicity and when i first heard about J.K. Rowling enquiring about bitcoin even i was curious to see what she is up to but now she just proved that she just wanted some publicity and i really doubt whether she is really interested in bitcoin or ETH other than have a buzz online.

It looks like she has garnered some attentions already, Elon Musk replied to her.
She got what she was looking for and i really loved the breaking news  Cheesy.

@OP it was a really good video. Just heard about your channel, good luck and keep posting more.

Explained typically means that somebody is actively listening.

As far as I can see JK didn't even respond to your video or acknowledge it in any form, so you really didn't explain anything.

Much like you can't explain Bitcoin to a brick wall, simply because it's not listening.

"explain

Learn to pronounce

make (an idea or situation) clear to someone by describing it in more detail or revealing relevant facts."

Well, I hope J.K. Rowling is genuinely interested to learn more about Bitcoin. If she truly is, she is important enough for great Bitcoin enthusiasts and advocates such as Charles here to bother creating a smooth and understandable explanation to make her really understand what Bitcoin is.

If she isn't, explanations such as this video will definitely not go to waste. It could still reach enough audience and perhaps bring another great person into the movement. So far, it has 11,000 views.

Lmao, classic.

Craig Wright really is the laughing stock of the cryptocurrency world, and he brought it all on himself.

I look forward to the day when his name fades into a distant memory, since he's undoubtedly one of the world things to ever happen to the cryptocurrency industry.

Once he goes bankrupt that will likely be the last we hear from him.
