TheBitcoinTalkShow - 24 Aug - Bitcointalk Community Awards 2022

[Cyrus]

A few updates:
First filming day was a few days ago. Hopefully it won't be the only filming day, looking forward to adding more of the cool ideas in! 
We're also working on the channel's artwork. We'll likely need more materials so if you know any crypto artists that would feel inspired by the idea, point them here!
After we get a teaser and basic graphics done, the URLs will go public.

Thank you everyone again!

[The Sceptical Chymist]

On a not-so-serious note, a shout out to the most famous bicycle gang of the forum has to be made somehow Perhaps with a little fox hidden somewhere in the background during the podcast? 

Heh heh.  I have avatars blocked, so I don't even know who my teammates are on the Tour de Fox.  And while it's true that it's an exclusive little cycling club, it's probably mysterious to many members (if they even give it a second thought) since there hasn't been much discussion about it that I've seen.

For example, if the channel interviewed various users from the forum, but also people that have played a significant role in Bitcoin, then they could potentially do a sort of question, and answer thread here on the forum as an extension, which might not be the primary focus of the Youtube video, but could potentially encourage any outside viewers to visit the forum, and then potentially be retained by their curiosity, and the quality of the forum.

Hell yeah, I'd have no problem with that!  I'd love to see/hear interviews with some of the loudest voices in the bitcoin world, assuming that could be arranged.  And yes, it certainly would give a great amount of exposure to the forum as a byproduct, since no doubt people who aren't members of bitcointalk would be viewing videos like that.  Excellent idea.

I’m looking forward to seeing what comes of this. Good luck! We’ll have to make sure to do our part and spread the word to get those likes and subscribes on the main channel and the eventual clips channel. Get that YouTube algorithm doing it’s thing to birth the next viral sensation.

Dont know if it was mentioned before but i would love to see also maybe some tutorials how the Forum is working , would be informative and specially for new Users maybe helpful.
Some Guides can be explained and also if possible to let them know that there some Rules , i dont mean that there should be a documentary done on everything ,
just a little content about the Forum and how it works . Just an Idea for a episode .

Yep, videos like that should be a must. As a matter of fact, some time ago @Steamtyme made several videos for newbies, covering stuff from how to get started and create an account to some basics about trust system, that somehow got forgotten.
Bitcointalk.org Getting started with a new account
Bitcointalk.org - Post formatting
Forum Feedback - Trust system

As a newcomer to the forum, I also agree that some novices will not take the initiative to find the rules, but I am attracted by the knowledge brought in the forum. When I first entered, I did not carefully look at what novices need to pay attention to and the rules of the forum. After entering for a period of time, I learned about it. Fortunately, I did not violate the rules of the forum. And provide formatting skills on posting to make us more clear when posting, to make it easier for forum users to understand the questions we are asking, and it is more easy to understand. This is a good idea.
These three posts are indeed very suitable for new users.

that's a very good news Bitcoin talk forum YouTube channel. when release YouTube channel link i am very exited this news , this channel always helpful all bitcoin talk forum community member happy journey Bitcoin talk forum YouTube channel

[Hasan905]

I'd love to see some overwhelming positive content.  How about a MrBeast like channel?

For those unfamiliar, MrBeast gives away money, cars, houses, etc. to random people and those in need.  It's heartwarming positive content that popularizes the idea of giving away funds to help other people.  I think given the success of Bitcoin and this forum, I would personally love to see funds used to help others while encouraging and inspiring others to find the joy in giving.

Here's an example of his content, and one of my favorite videos: I Ordered Pizza And Tipped The House

If Mr. Beast sees this post and thread, he will be so happy that no one here can expect. He always loves to see that people all over the world are talking about him.  He also said on his channel that he doesn’t want to die with a lot of money in his bank, he just wants to live in people’s minds.

  Well if the BitcointalkForumYouTube channel can bring some content like them, I believe it will create a bigger kind of promotion online.  Or maybe similar content, arrange a contest on any type of topic here in this forum (technical, content writing for BitcointalkForumYouTube, graphics work for BitcointalkForumYouTube channel, etc. which can be helpful for this forum and community) and put a big price for the winners.  It can help you bring out some new talent, also help people show off their skills to the whole community here.  Then broadcast the full competition on the BitcointalkForumYouTube channel.  It will bring in both educational and entertainment content

[2double0]

Just like Bitcointalk has signature ads as a privilege to its users and bidding system for in-between ads here, I'd also like to add some 'advertisement facilities' to be availed for the users of this community on YouTube already to let them too utilize all crypto based advertising on this forum's YouTube channel which will also help generate revenue for the channel to bring in more stuff (I know admins are capable to do it on their own, but if advertisement of crypto helps both sides, this should also be promoted and taken care of).

[Welsh]

I'm excited to see what sort of content has been filmed. How did the filming day go, smooth sailing I assume?

assuming that could be arranged.  And yes, it certainly would give a great amount of exposure to the forum as a byproduct, since no doubt people who aren't members of bitcointalk would be viewing videos like that.  Excellent idea.

I think its definitely possible, seems like Cyrus is really taking this seriously hiring a crew to do the filming, and with the support of the forum I think we might be able to see more success than if you were to start from scratch, and naturally the pull that the Youtube has being somewhat associated with Bitcointalk, will likely help.

If Mr. Beast sees this post and thread, he will be so happy that no one here can expect. He always loves to see that people all over the world are talking about him.  He also said on his channel that he doesn’t want to die with a lot of money in his bank, he just wants to live in people’s minds.

I smell a future possible collaboration.

Thank you! A bigger, higher quality one is in the works. Guides as well, in the future.

Awesome , looking forward to the guides and all the other things that will be coming there for sure.

As others already have written , i am also excited about and cant wait to see the Teaser and the channels artwork !
If you need maybe some kind of copyright free Music you can hit me up on a PM as i produce my one Music also , if you want and like.

How did the filming day go, smooth sailing I assume?

I can imagine that he was nervous and excited at the same time maybe.

Rest assure, I guarantee you that you're travelling with a very essential group of members, you won't get lost in the rain

This is great news Cyrus! Has anyone noticed that ever since the creation of the thread (26th of August) and the first filming days we're just talking about almost 2 weeks? I think we already have a ton of work done in such a short notice, so I'm really excited to see any kind of draft / end result that may come from it.

We're also working on the channel's artwork. We'll likely need more materials so if you know any crypto artists that would feel inspired by the idea, point them here!

I don't know how can I help in this one, but I'll just try to ping some winners of the previous art contest that I've mentioned on my reply a page or two ago : @Meddzs , @RiseX , @horagames, @1Dq , @Karmakid are you guys interested or know someone who may be?

Nice idea, just let me add two other graph-savy users: @xhomerx10 and @jayce (fancy a Bitcointalk.org YT channel signature?).

That's aiming pretty high, but if it ever were to happen I would love the chance to be able to donate something for the video or be involved somehow.  Would love to meet Jimmy and the team.  My current support has been confined to ordering Mr Beast Burgers and merchandise.  It's absolutely amazing what they've been able to accomplish using YouTube.  His philanthropy channel continues to grow and support more and more food banks. 

Will there be sponsorship opportunities for the channel, or has there been discussion of a merchandise line?  That seems to be the popular way to fund YouTube channels as the Nelk Boys are estimated to make $70 million dollars per year off their clothing line.  Not sure Bitcointalk would ever reach those levels, but raising enough funds to support the creator and give away some life changing prizes is certainly possible.

I just saw this now but Oh my! There is big scope for this; if the potential is utilized to its max extent. There are very few good crypto channels on youtube as many have failed so I would suggest research first and then dive in. Crypto channels have been known for having horrible retention rate(for how long does an average user watch your video).

Considering the channel being focused on bitcointalk particularly, I think a banger episode will be to start off from Satoshi and the history of bitcointalk. Not many know how BTT actually came into place, and how bitcoin actually found its community. Sure the community awards is cool and all, but I guess if you're to start a legitimate channel, I really do think starting from Satoshi would only feel right.

Moving forward a lot of content could be split into:

How-to-bitcointalk: Content/videos going around how to use bitcointalk

How-not-to-scandal: This would be a fun idea where you could go over past scams of different extremes uncovered on bitcointalk

Community-shoutouts: vidoes that go around thanking members who have been the core reason for bitcointalk being a fun place for all these years.

studying-sundays: educational content on how to crypto.

Story-saturdays: Cover the stories that happened exclusively on bitcointalk, like: pizza for 10k Bitcoins, Hal Finey, the story of Bruno etc etc

Future fridays: Cover theories on how crypto is to evolve in the future and shut down dumb theories. idk I could come up with more ideas, but how are these for now?

Obviously there could be giveaways, merch, community games etc and even livestreams. I know achow101 does livestreams on twitch sometimes soo you know you know big things for btt. #to-the-moon

[Pmalek]

We're also working on the channel's artwork. We'll likely need more materials so if you know any crypto artists that would feel inspired by the idea, point them here!

I started looking for a designer and photoshop expert yesterday for a little artwork I want to have developed as soon as I figure out exactly what I need. I took a look at the services section and here are some threads of designers I found at the first page. I am sure many more are hiding on the next pages.

• lucifur - UPDATE ! DESIGNS- signatures, banners, logo, visual content [ price starts@ $5 ]
• bubbalex - [DESIGN SERVICE] STICKERS, ILLUSTRATIONS, INFOGRAPHICS, NFT, ROADMAPS, LOGO
• Meddzs - Affordable HQ Design Services,Websites,ANNs,WPs, Banners,infographics

[RickDeckard]

Crypto channels have been known for having horrible retention rate(for how long does an average user watch your video).

I think that mostly has to due to the fact that most people that watch these channels are either:

• A - Looking for youtubers that are going to give them the secrets to life a financially independent life trought miracle TA of crypto charts
• B - People who actually want to understand what crypto means and what's behind it
• C - Average Joe's that just heard about crypto on their daily commune, they even try to understand it but after 4 minutes they decide it's not for them

Albeit writing and making content related with crypto may be hard to cater to all audiences, I really believe that by using the forum "brand" we can already have a upper hand in generating leads towards our channel - It would be then up to us to make the best of it. And I'm totally confident that we have the members & organization to make this project success we just need determination and a good team spirit - as long we don't end up in the dangerous vicious loop of making videos just for the sake of making videos and gathering views where the video itself doesn't have enough juice - I think we'll do alright. I mean, this forum has about 10 years and I would say that we're...

~ihaveadhdsoiamsnippingthis~

Gotta say, I love this reply. So simple, yet so ...genuine.



And yeah, I pretty much agree with you. And the audiences for crypto for the most part is going to continue just looking for the A, B and Cs of what you mentioned. I would say very few people of the majority of the youtube population would actually give a shit to learn and understand things properly whilst the rest would always want to watch a 3 min animated video and scram. That is just how it is.

Think of it like how people want to get fit and want to lose 30 KGs/60 pounds per week without hardcore dieting, and without doing cardio and want an easy way out. Same goes with crypto, they just want to understand the basics and voila I want to be a rich bitch millionaire.

I really, like really do think the bitcointalk channel could do insanely well on youtube considering how mainstream crypto is getting. I mean, we are at a point where celebrities and influencers are promoting pump and dump shitcoins. Do we really think this would have happened years ago when bitcoin was at 2k? Probably not.

Right now, youtube is an untapped reservoir for genuine crypto-based videos, and a lot good could come from it. Question is, is the OG crypto community going to do anything about it or not?

Whenever there is a chance to make money off people's lack of knowledge, we can be sure that there will be people locked and ready to act as a messiah for their early retirement by means of ludicrousness gains, let it be crypto or any other kind of equities - sadly this happens to this day with crytp and with other equities (leverage CFD's for example).

Right now, youtube is an untapped reservoir for genuine crypto-based videos, and a lot good could come from it. Question is, is the OG crypto community going to do anything about it or not?   

I think that there isn't any other crypto channel with such a huge advertisement made about it than ourselves - we've existed almost as long as BTC's life, and that kind of "publicity"/reach is hard to attain. What we'll do with it only depends on us.

Perhaps more On-Topic : Another small idea, geared more towards charity - Host/Run donation/charity events, but within each members area/country - Basically we would incentivize members to donate to their local shelter / charity house/institution and if provided with some proof of help we could make a leaderboard and the top 3 users would be mentioned / interviewed on the YT channel! This would be optimal if the donation was either by food / money or, since this is a BTC forum, why not crypto? What better way to push further the adoption?

Yes. you just can't see results because the business sustainability curve is so high you need to climb it like a mountain. Growing a youtube channel that people don't just watch in passing and has subscribers is no easier than growing a website (I had a chat with efialtis the other day on telegram about the growing part).

And sometimes you suffer setbacks like a youtube copystrike or maybe they decide to pull some of your videos. Don't forget these are centralized services that can kick you off their platform if they want. Recently I was kicked off AWS for the second time along with my in-development business API so it has to find a new home

A few days have passed since last update.
I really can’t wait to see the product. Hope it won’t take long!
I am really excited about that!

A lot of youtubers have expressed their opinion about this where some legit channels were kicked off the platform without breaking any rules. Youtube is centralised and they only want content that identifies with their rules and values if Crypocurrency is one of those that does not I can see them removing all videos related to crypo. They could justify it to by saying that cryptocurrencies are unsafe and point towards altcoins being most scams.
