Topic: Bitcointalk Youtube channel - what would you like to see? - page 31. (Read 13736 times)

I am not certain if this has been discussed already(sorry yes I skipped 3 pages) but personally, I would love to see if what is the future plans for this community.

These are the specific topics that I really am wanting to see.

• Future Forum Upgrades? Like planning to release an app? and its details
• Upcoming projects. directly related to this forum
• I need a shoutout from theymos(yamete)

Wow great initiative, since its already decided about the plot and what we going to have for the first few episodes, I'm excitedly waiting for the videos now.

It is true, like me many of us spend more time on YouTube and these days people like go to YouTube first before going to Google. Let be any thing from making Italian Pasta or buying Bitcoin or installing bitcoin wallet people prefer to watch and see how practically it works. I'm sure with great resources people around Bitcointalk Youtube would be great in spreading more awareness among new comers.

I would love to see some episodes dedicated to Satoshi and Hal Finney (we can discuss about the posts made by these legends, keeping the privacy intact).

Some episode discussing events like HODL, Bitcoin PizzaDay and last but not the least memes please.

and please one episode dedicated to our loved "Wall Observer" please.

Pilot episode :


Brief history of Bitcointalk,
Or a time-lapsed 11 year history. . . .
And a spoken bitcointalk Welcome Message !!!

And if it is not too much to ask, a fansign with or without the bikini.

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

One suggestion is that youtube video should be made with instruction what to do when you try to register in forum and you receive Evil Fee proxy ban warning,
and that short (one or two minutes long) explanatory video link should be in the message that new proxy banned users receive.
If possible, video should also include some of the members profiles that have the power to remove this ban.

It sure would. A video for newbies on how to post and take part in discussions and what not to do. Things like multiquoting, quoting the OP, quoting pictures, posting unnecessarily large pictures, etc. I know I would be interested in learning more about tables and table layouts because they can be a real nightmare. I have seen it myself.

You could talk about bbcodes. I would be interested in seeing a video about the feature where you click on a hyperlink and it takes you to that part of the thread where that is discussed. Things like that, which aren't known to everyone.       

Will there be face reveals? I think that's some sort of tradition in the platform but hey, you can stay anonymous. I hope that your talk would also be discussing things outside of what's been talked about in this forum already or probably you can introduce new people to the forum and become their personal guide to the forum, this will help introduce potential users that will help grow the forum much more.

I think Bitcoin's appreciation space is okay

When we are talking about most mainstream Youtubers, its almost always a persona. Some openly admit that they are different off camera too.

Depends on what it is, no doubt a production can sometimes attract more viewers. Its why movies with high production value, tend to have a better viewership. We are attracted by what is pretty. Okay, definitely when it comes to Youtube there can  be over produced productions, but generally a little wow factor keeps viewers interested.

You're probably correct here, although I did relate public speaking to talking to a camera, they are probably very different. Depending on the person, either could be argued to be more difficult than the other. Its definitely a skill being able to talk to basically no one at the time, but at a camera. Although, when we come back to the Bitcointalk Youtube channel, interviews will be a little bit of both, alright not quite public, but there's a number of skills needed there.

Yeah, this is definitely overused. At this point, viewers know how to use Youtube, and know how to support the creators. Thumbnails unfortunately are part of the business, you need to create something that intrigues enough for a click, and then you need to hook them within the first few seconds. The cookie cutter pattern as you put it, exists because that's whats proven to be effective. Now, I don't expect this Youtube channel to be at all cookie cutter, though. A channel about Bitcoin will definitely be more niche, and there won't be the stupid clickbait thumbnails that we've become accustomed too.

Yes they have, but to my eyes over time all the "professional Youtubers" are starting to look generic.  Many people follow these so-called influencers (and I fuckin' hate that term) because they perceive said influencers to be down-to-earth people, as opposed to bona fide celebrities or mainstream media talking heads.  The truth is that those Youtubers are selling a fake image of themselves and are shilling products to no end--just like everyone else on TV or in movies--so what's the difference?

This is true, but I don't equate higher quality editing or video production with higher quality content.  In fact, I can't stand that standard hyper-editing that makes people sound like they're not even breathing while they speak.  

Youtubers don't have to have any ability for public speaking.  They have to be able to speak in front of a camera, and there's a big difference.  What they have to be most proficient at is selling themselves, and it certainly doesn't hurt if they're good-looking.  And again, how is that different than the average celebrity?  

Smash that like button and hit subscribe for more content and a thumbnail with the video creator [with hands covering eyes/hands on side of face/looking confused/angry/whatever].  Over and over.  I do hope the bitcointalk channel doesn't end up being molded from the same cookie-cutter pattern.

I guess they follow an approach which has been proven to work over, and over again. Youtube videos have definitely evolved over time though. For example, Youtube videos of today are much more higher quality production wise, than they were before. In fact, to start off on Youtube now, you are pretty much already expected to have a decent amount of experience video editing, and being used to public speaking or at least speaking to an audience. Back 10 years ago, you didn't need anything, but a way of recording yourself or your screen with a legible mic. Hence why Cyrus probably opted for a professional company to handle the recording side of things.

I’d toss it out there that my username is pronounced like aug-nasty not O.G. Nasty like some of the kids on this forum like to say.    It has led to some funny accusations and confusion in the past. I think a lot of people probably pronounce Casascius wrong as well. I know I did for many years.

If it's a channel that talks about bitcoin, then what distinguishes it from all the other channels dedicated to that?  There are tons of them.  What there isn't is one that focuses on the forum, and I think that's what's needed overall.  Many people hold bitcointalk in high esteem and would subscribe to such a channel in a heartbeat.  That's not to say bitcoin topics couldn't be discussed, but I think the main focus should be on the forum itself.

There are lots of high-quality channels on Youtube, but from what I've seen they all follow a cookie-cutter approach, starting with an intro followed by a few seconds of annoying music, followed by "be sure to subscribe and smash that like button for more new videos, blah blah blah" and then 12 minutes of content following Youtube's strict monetization policies to the letter.  I've seen this format followed in dozens upon dozens of videos, if not hundreds.  I'd like it if bitcointalk's channel didn't do that, simply because I find it extremely annoying.

this is good news, i will definitely support the BTT youtube channel.  just an idea, what if the admin open voting for content ideas that want to create and publish on BTT's youtube account so all members are involved.

First of all the Image you have done looks awesome !
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 .
Sry if that was posted already before , havnt readed all the posts so excuse me.

Or perhaps you can link them to this thread in all the video descriptions now that it has a big ol' sticky on it: [EDU] Easy 3 step process to report YouTube videos and scam websites to Google! maybe with a link text like "AVOID GETTING SCAMMED - HOW TO REPORT FAKE GIVEAWAYS TO YOUTUBE"

Like I said previously, there's a way to mitigate this through notifications. After all, we can't possibly spoon feed everyone, otherwise the interviews, and podcasts would have to be censored in fear of spreading misinformation, but that isn't the reality. I'd like to think that people are more inclined to research a shady looking Youtube video, than believing something just because their favourite infulencer said x is good. I mean, you only have to look at so called privacy conscious Youtube channels promoting VPNs which are no where near privacy conscious.

I like the idea of having a bitcointalk YouTube channel. But, I want to focus on this:

There's lots of scams in YouTube. LOTS OF THEM. If you search for bitcoin giveaways, you'll get tons of clickbaits & obviously not yet confirmed scams. I'm in disagreement for having giveaways through our videos and that is why.

I'm very okay on having interviews, users' awards or any other smart subject, but it has to be different than the traditional social media's cryptocurrency content. In a nutshell, it has to be high-quality. You should use the forum funds for achieving it which exceed normal budgets by far.

some mentioned that it has to be forum specific - i disagree. the name says bitcointalk, out of all the suggestions i think interviews are the best fit and maybe sprinkle in some other ideas in from time to time. but the main focus should be on the "talking about bitcoin" - just my 2 sats

That would be great, probably one of the better channel out there for technology related content. Would be great if we could focus on the technology related to Bitcoin without actually endorsing certain products/companies like you mentioned.

Yeah, I think collectively we could probably come up with a unique format of a Bitcoin related game show. I think the creation process of this would be just as fun as being in the game show.
