According to recent survey, most people have heard of Bitcoin, but have no idea what it really is. According to another super-secret scientific study the only way an ignorant crowd would pay attention to something new and ground breaking is if a hot girl with british accent explains it as simple as possible! Well, that's what we did: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cWYVktImeTkThis is just the first one of video series about Bitcoin. With each episode we will try to answer as simple as possible popular bitcoin question or misconception. All videos will be short and to the point. The idea is that next time someone asks you stupid question about bitcoin, you just send him the relevant video and let the girl do the talking. Each video is paid for by a product placement of bitcoin business. This being the first one, any kind of feedback will be useful. Suggestions to what to do next would be appreciated as well! If you like the idea and want to support it, sharing the video is just enough. As long as we get the views, there will be sponsors and the series will live! ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

Nice video, nice explanations but somethings to improve: -better sound recording devices please -the video is slightly tilted to the right -graphs and pictures might interest the viewer more than just words (check DNews or Scishow for examples) But hey! This is just my opinion ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif)

A high-level overview of what bitcoin aims to achieve, why it is useful and why it's not just another currency would be a good video too. This is something most people don't understand. In the video below, Mike Maloney hits the nail when he explains how Banks have been inserting themselves between individuals in the financial system and taking a cut from every transaction, and this destroys prosperity as well as they taking a slice of economic energy out of a transaction. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dGsir1ypCP8&feature=em-uploademail

Yep just slightly tilted. But I like it.
I agree it needs some visuals to go with the explanation.

Well the Video is Nice and All. It's Simple and Explained most misconceptions about the bitcoin.. Most people understand with visuals though.. maybe more visual representions would help.. just listening to (hot) girl talk about bit coin is fine but I could also have read about this in the internet It's a Video for a purpose, for people to see and hear ... //Just my thoughts though but the voice is kinda echoish ... I already stumbled on bitcoin video before but never really minded it.. this was the first video I stumbled upon. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sb_ElE1DQikwell what the heck.. I Suscribed to your channel to see further improvments ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) Please Let me Understand the bitcoin more Im kind of a dummy

OMG you are so clever!!!! Maybe you should stick to boring videos then. This video has nothing other than a girl who is not so impressive. So once again:

Thank you all for the feedback, it all helps! (well except the one from S4VV4S)
I really like the idea about the visuals, that could help a lot. Hopefully for some of the next ones budget will allow that. S4VV4S now to have your constructive feedback implemented we will need you to sponsor the next video with about 12 BTC, they are needed for a boob job.
To the other guys, if you like the project and want to help, share the video, more views means more initiative for someone to sponsor the next one.
We are already thinking the next one to explain why Bitcoin is not a ponzi. This one seems to be one of the more popular misconceptions, right?

Don't get me wrong, I love the fact that you are promoting Bitcoin, but.... You are doing it wrong. I will not bullshit you here. You can hate me all you want, it still doesn't change the fact that YOU are NOT creative! Nuff said!!!

I know I'm cool with it but I do see your point. All I ask is that the simplify it so that I don't have to strain my tiny brain. Seriously though I think people won't take offense to the title because The term "for dummies" sort of caught on or went viral in the 90's I believe and will actually attract more people then offend thm IMO.

When making YT videos you will always find someone who will tell "Your clips are shit"
Just do your job and think about those who like them!
