Topic: Becoming the Bitcoin Educator: Fundraising! (Read 200 times)
you want to spam the internet to "educate about the attention hack bitcoin"`?
As much as you laid out your plans to spread the word about Bitcoin in your country, I doubt that you can get people to donate to your cause here. Yes, this is a community but people here won't simply give money to someone even if you have a good cause. Why not start with you friends and families though, and try to convince them about your goals specially you wanted it to be local in your country anyways?
To be fair that's really much to read to get someone interested in donating something. Don't know if you are serious or kidding and trying to get money but why is that your goal? Your "satoshi" didn't do that so why you? Also where are you from? How well do you speak? How much do you know about bitcoin? When things gets abused, then they lose their greatness.

BTC
Hello fellow bitcoiners. My name is Adam and I am young student from Eastern Europe. I am also a big fan of technology and science. I write a lot, mainly articles. My dream is to become Bitcoin Educator.
To start the project, that will introduce the beautiful idea of Bitcoin to people who really need it. To the people who are financially oppressed by their government. To people who can’t be sure if the hard earned money on their bank accounts are truly their own.
I have been lucky enough to hear about Satoshi Nakamoto’s invention, which gathered and combined a years of research in modern cryptography to create the next evolution of money. Despite all the hype during bull market he have witnessed a year ago, after hours of my own research and analysis I still think many of us don’t really know how powerful tool Bitcoin is. You can’t talk about Bitcoin without its price, but the lack of fundamental understanding what Bitcoin is and what it isn’t, about its capabilities, have driven me to a conclusion, that we need more people who will educate others about Bitcoin. Our mission is to tell the world about this invention. And this is where my new path begins.
Concerned with the rise of, what I call, asymmetric dictatorship in the country of my origins and that this is the best possible time to introduce Bitcoin to people who will, in the near future, really need it, I have decided to start a blog. But I am not interested in crypto blogs you see a lot, sketchy news filled with ads of ICOs selling dreams to the investors. I am interested in sharing real knowledge about Bitcoin to the people who needs it.
Being obsessed with mathematics and physics I am interested into science that makes Bitcoin works. I am interested in teaching people why should the use Bitcoin, and how to do it safely. I want to spread the adoption, educate and put a lot of hard work into it.
Project is called HejBitcoin, or in English: HiBitcoin. To start this project I will need your help. I bought my first Bitcoin in 2017, and despite great ROI on my investment I needed to sell everything to get money for an operation after the injury on rugby game, but I am determinate to not end my journey with Bitcoin and cryptography. As a 18y old student I am busting my ass to learn everything needed to pass the exams with good marks and work evenings to make some money to start this project.
I want HiBitcoin to be an open ecosystem. Ecosystem, which will be able to teach you about Bitcoin in a easy-to-understand and funny way. The project that will boost the adoption and recognition of Bitcoin in my country.
I want it to be a source that people can trust when it comes to crypto-related knowledge. I want it to be the highest standard I can possibly get. I want people to say hi to Bitcoin!
I have made this ROADMAP to also not give up. Saying that you will do something is easy, but actually doing it will be harder than I potentially think right now.
ROADMAP for 2019:
PHASE 1 “Genesis”
1) January — February:
- Start of the work. Ensure that the blog is up and running. Register the domain, configurate the server, make all the graphics, start the social media sites to say hi to the world — aka first steps.
- First educational series, coming in 9 parts: “Hi, my name is Bitcoin” about the very fundamental things about Bitcoin — what the hell it is, how can we benefit from using it, what this fancy technology behind it called the blockchain really is and so on. FUNDAMENTALS! Full focus on Bitcoin.
- Start of the cooperation with local libraries: distribution of Bitcoin related books I will buy.
- Second, very easy to understand, series (one of the most important mini-series on the blog, something that was A BIG problem for me when I started my journey with Bitcoin) about the ecosystem surrounding Bitcoin. That means — wallets: how to use them safely, ensure that you won’t lost them by a mistake, etc., exchanges, how to send and receive Bitcoins and more.
2) March — April:
- “Don’t get scammed” series. This will conclude the research of the variety of topics. From explanations of confusing things about Bitcoin — from topics covering things like :why the traditional news sources thinks about it as a pyramid scheme and why they are totally wrong, to practices used by digital thiefs and how you can stay safe.
- Along with this, I will be creating something that interest me the most — Bitcoin and the real science behind it. Series will be called: “Bitcoin and beyond”. Not only will it cover the topics about mathematics and cryptography being the fundament of Bitcoin system, but also will take a deep dive into encryption algorithms, consensus mechanisms and more. This series will show why the vision and idea of Bitcoin is so powerful and groundbreaking, and why do we need to put a LOT bigger attention to academic research of cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology.
- Last but not least — those months will be the beginning of HiBitcoin getting some recognition. My goal will be to get away from the computer for some time and try to spread the idea of cryptocurrencies among traditional medias. By using my old contacts, I will try to get a few anonymous interview about the technology and how it can change a lot of industries: from fintech and worldwide money transfers to supply chains.
3) May:
- The first two weeks of May are the time of my final exams. So I will post only a few blog posts prepared earlier while I will prepare to past the exams.
- From the second half of May, my 4 months long break starts. This will be the time of hard work on HiBitcoin. If the fundraising ends well, it will be possible to me to work full time on this. If not, I won’t stop, but I will need to work less on HiBitcoin because of the normal, full time job to fund the college. But don’t worry, the initiative will still go on like freaking train!
PHASE 2 “Green market strikes back!”
1) June — August :
- Keeping in mind that if the market start rising again, the public attention will again turn their eyes on Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies. This will be the time for me to leverage all the work done before — By using the techniques of direct marketing I will make sure that the vast majority of people new to Bitcoin will have a chance to read my guides and articles. My plan is to integrate and collaborate with some well-known science blogs in my country to get more attention to my blog.
- Summer means more getting out of the screen and doing work in field. That means connecting to the people already in the crypto in my country, and trying to start some small educational projects with them, to leverage their better position. I think, this will be hell of the fun.
- These are the months I will try to get at least one talented person to work pro bono with me. The idea is to expand the technology vision of Bitcoin, not keep it to myself, so I will need more authors. It won’t be more that one or two people, to make sure that the standards are still the highest I can have, but I am sure that working in small team will add some more creativity and push us for even harder work.
- Continuation of series already mentioned before.
- Start of the series: “Ecology and Bitcoin” — the topic that interest me a lot, but not many people are even aware of it. I will research the possibilities of Bitcoin and crypto being the things that will push renewable energy industry further in development and expansion. This series will also cover every aspects of Bitcoin’s mining and will be a good addition to science series about consensus mechanisms.
2) August — end of September:
- As I mentioned, PHASE 2 will include the further development of the educational ecosystem I am trying to build. Those months, besides involvement in blogging will start be a start of YouTube HiBitcoin channel. I am quite charismatic person, and as the greatest minds in film industry says: one good frame is sometimes better than a book of words. With Youtube channel I will be able to reach wider audience.
- By creating funny, entertaining but also simple to understand and thought-provoking content, I will spread the word about bitcoin to a lot of people. I’v never filmed anything, but I am ready to learn everything. It will be time-consuming but I want to do this, and nothing will f*cking stop me!
Why YouTube channel one may ask? This is the great question, I am delighted to ask. Current channels about Bitcoin in my country, focus more on the price of shitcoins than real technology and possibilities. Rather than explaining what smart-contracts are, they are talking endlessly about the possible price of Ethereum. Speculation is great, but it isn’t building anything. You earn money, nothing more, nothing less. And this isn’t my goal. That’s why I want to create YouTube channel. And make it different.
- Security is one of the most important topic when it comes to crypto. This will be in-deep series about every wallets available on the market. Mostly I will focus on hard-wallets, and make reviews plus tests of the most popular crypto hard wallets.
- People should know how to do things. This is why, the next mini-series will be about setting their own node, mesh networks or even Bitcoin’ satellites! I want to show people that this is possible, and everyone can do this. Plus, it is a lot of fun!
PHASE 3 “Just Q3–4”
1) September — end of December
- These are some long term ideas and plans, and since I don’t have any idea what HiBitcoin will become by then, my goal is to further expand the project, besides the blog, youtube, and other social media channels.
- The goal is to establish the collaboration with academic facilities to create a simple network, on which researchers and young students, will be able to post their science papers about the crypto-related topics.
By this time, I want HiBitcoin to be recognized. This will allow me to take a part in crypto-related events and maybe even speak on them.
- Add another great authors to the blog. Start a few more series, I want to keep a secret, because of the time they will consume, but I think it is worth waiting!
Personal fundraising in era of big ICOs
This is why I would like to make a fundraising. I don’t have working PC (I am writing this post from my friend’s laptop). Gathering money from evenings job will delay the start of my projects by nearly half year (this is the time I will need to work to do it by myself), but I would like to not waste my time. Perhaps I should have asked in bull market, when we were on the top and everyone was filthy rich, but I think this is the greatest time to start. To build when nothing can steal my attention.
But why raise funds with Bitcoin or other cryptos?
No platform is better to do it better than Bitcoin. Cryptocurrencies, with its open and public nature, are the best for raising any funds. Blockchain ensure that every donator can see where his donation is migrating and if funds are not being defrauded. No other fundraising system can be more trusted than blockchains.
As I mentioned before. Despite my true love for global community, I would like to start locally. That being said, I will focus on the country I live, the country with possible 35 milion people to be introduced to the idea of Bitcoin. Every learning material, every blog post will be written in my native language. Why? I won’t conquer the world with a blog site, no matter how good it will be. But HiBitcoin has a possibility to become educational facility in the country of my origins, to serve both as a source of trustful educational information about Bitcoin and cryptography to everyone and in the end become the institution that will for example encourage a young innovators and scientist to publish their books and academic workpaper on the site on which many people will see their work and maybe even start their own research.
You won’t get any tokens by supporting me. You won’t be able to dump the shares of my work on any exchange. But the ROI the whole Bitcoin network, so also you, the bitcoin HODLER, will get might be high if I succeed. The return on this “investment” is wider adoption of Bitcoin. So, if you would like to help me with this, these are my fundraising goals!
GOAL ONE: 0.264289 BTC or 1000$.
* Build the workplace. This will allow me to buy a new computer on which I will work for the next years.
* Buy the basic hosting for my site.
GOAL TWO: 0.4 BTC or 1700$.
* This will allow me to start a collaboration with public libraries in my city and fund a big basket of crypto-related books: “Mastering Bitcoin”, “Internet of money”, “Mastering Ethereum” or “Bitcoin standard”. Books will be distributed to every major library in the place I live. I will make sure that they will get good place in those places so people can really see and read them — learning about blockchain and Bitcoin.
GOAL THREE: 2500$
* Third goal for a fundraising is getting money to start** PHASE TWO of HiBitcoin**, transit my knowledge and work on the professional YouTube channel for local audience, the channel on which I will leverage everything I have done before, sharing the knowledge in even more simple way, by the lenses of camera.
* If this goal is reached I will be able to buy professional digital camera to make a videos explaining every aspects of crypto technology and of course Bitcoin. My goal is to buy Nikon D5300 which costs 630$ or around 0.18 BTC. I am aware that with high probability I am not going to reach this goal but this is what I am aiming for.
FINAL GOAL: 1.4BTC or 5000$:
* Work on HiBitcoin for a nearly full time, 12 hours a day. I won’t need to go to “normal” job and delay the HiBitcoin project. Every satoshi above this goals will mean that I won’t starve to death while writing about Elliptic Curve Cryptography or SHA function.
GETTING THINGS DONE: ADDRESSES FOR FUNDRAISING
So, this is the new address I have created to fundraise BTC for this project. I am excited as hell to be able to hopefully, finally work on it. Remember, you are investing into spreading the adoption of Bitcoin network. I am only the guy who will try his best to make some difference. Let’s get to work guys! And thank you a lot for every satoshi!
Ps. Yes I will tell people that they can buy a part of Bitcoin
1Jvqiq252i6NjRvXMU8TaUKhes3Tt4i6QN : My BTC address for this fundraising.
To remind people that Bitcoin was meant to be a currency I will try to buy everything without converting BTC to fiat currency!
Every satoshi donated will be covered by my sweat and blood into free education for people. Into the knowledge about open, borderless, free ecosystem. Thank you, and say hi to Bitcoin!
