Maybe my idea is relatively simple :

• You can post a post about what interesting things happened when using Bitcoin, let everyone tell the story of him and Bitcoin, find some actors to perform high-quality stories,
• Just use an animated video to introduce Bitcoin. There are many people who don't understand Bitcoin. What we have to do is not to attract fans, but to attract more people.
• You can participate in the award-winning question and answer through the video, and ask questions at the end of the video, so that friends can actively comment and participate in the answer.

What I want to see most is the legends of Bitcoin forums and Bitcoin stories, character interviews, and technical explanations. The videos are helpful for understanding.

People from all over the world can only use English as their main communication language.

I have another idea. The administrator can specify a theme, and everyone can make the video by themselves, and finally vote for the best work.
This can increase interaction.

I feel like there a place for Bitcoin themed content with high production value . Something that's community oriented, without being endorsed by some big company/products or already big channels doing a Bitcoin/cryptocurrency video every now and then. And something that's not just talking about price speculation!
For starters: Imagine LinusTechTips and the theme would be BitcoinTalk instead of tech reviews.


Bitcoin game shows! That's a cool idea, though we need to either create a format of our own, or... find an open licensed format? Not sure if those exist, for any popular shows.
Speaking of games, here's an idea, do some videos while playing games with a crypto twist. Got the idea from here: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/game-with-hidden-bitcoin-5351369

Also, on another note: For an upcoming video segment that's going to be filmed tomorrow (surprise!), we're going to read out loud a list of usernames we've all probably read in our inside voice wrong the whole time!
Got any ideas? Should we start another thread for this?

Fantastic news, I'm surprised you hired a external team for video production, but is probably the right move!

On another note; Bitcoin related game shows was also something running through my head while away from the forum. Might be a fun project in the future.

Great info from everyone  so far thank you!
Here's the current plan and progress:
Hired a company to film and edit. Production value aimed: very high!
First filming day will be really soon, so the first few episodes will be prerecorded and released when ready.
This whole thing an experiment, so content and format will likely evolve over time, as long as there's interest for it.
Likely themes for the first few episodes feature the BitcoinTalk Anniversary, Community Awards 2020, etc.
In time we'll start doing educational material as well, such as forum guides and news bits. Also interviews!

I’d like to see positive, inspiring stories from genuine bitcointalk.org posters about how bitcoin & this forum changed their lives tor the better. There must he so many people who are in a much better place financially than they would have been without bitcoin & this forum.

No doubt, content will need to base on bitcointalk Forum.
As the main target to make a YouTube channel to attract new people on forum,so you need to keep eye on audience interest. Most people don’t know about the forum but have interest on crypto. It’s time to show them the way of Their interest.
You can follow these idea & keep channel interesting.
* Arrange Q & A for newbie.
* Run a contest or giveaway
* Make a video series about Forum rules, as YouTube made for newbie so firstly focus on the forum rules
* Make live streaming with the forum administrators or others about the question of forum.
This is the effective way to make Newbie ready for the forum & make more & more visitor on bitcointalk.

The most newcomer to the forum, I am a little excited to see this type of game, which makes me like it more.

I suddenly have a weird idea. I don't know if this idea will touch certain things. If so, let me know.

My thoughts: In the recent news that caused Bitcoin to rise and fall sharply, (state bans on Bitcoin, designation of Bitcoin as legal tender, people or companies publishing information about Bitcoin, etc.), match the price of Bitcoin and then Add the voices of classics in the forum and make a funny event thread.

This is an interesting idea. Youtobe is a relatively influential media that can attract more new users.

• The style of the video should be in line with the public’s vision, with an interesting cover and theme introduction.
• Many people pay more attention to market trends and publish Bitcoin or crypto news regularly, such as every 24 hours or every week.
• Collect and share hot topics in forums or answer user questions.

These are some of my ideas, I hope they can be used for reference. I will continue to follow this post and your yououtobe.

Wow thats great to know mate. I really like those cool art design and a video like that will definitely like by most users to watch.

I dont have a youtube account for subscription maybe I will create one now to follow that.

I would like to see contents related to the development, challenges, expectations and usage of Bitcoin in Africa. You know, Africans love to YouTube but the continent is almost an untapped market for the crypto industry. Giving the population of that continent it will help expose this forum more.

Interesting point, that never really crossed my mind, but is probably worth giving some thought. My first thoughts are there's probably ways to mitigate this issue, however it would likely still give the impression that Bitcoin giveaways are more legitimate or at least have the potential to be. However, I'm not sure there's plenty of legitimate Bitcoin giveaways. However, on screen pop ups could potentially mitigate it as I said.

There has probably been attempts of scamming with MrBeast styled giveaways no doubt. Although, I wouldn't hold MrBeast responsible for that. However, I must admit that is something we should probably be thinking about, and how to mitigate it.

Another counter to that would be, and I'll admit this is a bit of a weak argument against it; If we have guests on in a interview format, and they spread misinformation, which could potentially lead to loss of funds, and other damages. However, this would apply to everything that anyone does. People should know that because x said Bitcoin would rise 10k by tomorrow, that it isn't guaranteed that they are right. Same as a giveaway being done by a recognised brand i.e Bitcointalk , and other giveaways which don't come along with that reputation would be a risk. Of course, this is assuming that theymos would be onboard with labeling it official, and if cyrus would even want to do that too, as I know they've alluded that they would like to keep it unofficial, but you get my point. Cyrus behind the channel has a reputation or whoever is involved, and that would be built up further the longer the channel operates, so its just like anything else to some extent.

You're probably right about that.  I don't think making content about a post, even if it's a great one, would be interesting for long.  What I'd like to see is some interviews with the most well-known/most active members, though I don't necessarily mean something like an on-camera Q&A.  Anonymity is important, of course.  But that's the sort of thing that might be of interest to people to whom the forum is an important place--and there are more than enough members to focus on.

I'd also suggest keeping it a channel that's dedicated to forum issues, and not bitcoin-related ones.  There are tons of folks who are big fans of bitcointalk, so the bitcointalk forum shouldn't become another bitcoin channel.  That's probably not your intention, Cyrus, but I'm just thinking ahead.

And hey, I do remember when this was first suggested and I thought at that point someone would have done something to get the ball rolling.  Guess that didn't happen, but I'm stoked that it looks like a Youtube channel is going to become a reality!

On the subject of interviews, that would be great, nearly all of us know OgNasty from
the collectables section of the forum, an interview or content relating to NastyMining
and NastyFans would be interesting, and continuing in that section maybe content from
other minters, printers and collectors of physical Bitcoins, shiny metal objects made from
rare earth always draws attention.

Also there was a thread I commented on recently > Crypto for the homeless - 7/9/21 - handed out a ton of pizza - need some help
An interview or short film about the efforts of @brollikk would be a real life example
of how Bitcoin can be used.

Just a few ides there pertaining to Crypto related collectables and how
Bitcoin can be used in real life while linking it all back to the forum...

Good one! Had a list already and that's for sure a video that I'd enjoy. Yeah, totally not a one man job, as discussed above.

I agree that most people identify as visual learners, some tend to disagree, here's a recent clip from Veritasium about it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rhgwIhB58PA
Forum guides is something definitely worth looking into, but not immediately interesting for lots of people. If the channel grows and we have an influx of people coming from Youtube then some tutorials would come in handy IMO.
As for impartiality, I wouldn't associate myself with such an endeavour if I felt it was biased. It needs to be impartial and transparent.

Here's an example: https://twitter.com/lucianorocha89/status/1415308069525929986
The user didn't seem to reply yet, however maybe they could ask for whitelisting @Bitcointalk, could be useful for some?

Around 8'', so... more like 7''.
Going to do a bigger one, likely with more detail.

Will try to reply to the newer posts a bit later. Thank you everyone for your input so far!

The YouTube channel has to cater for newcomers to the world of crypto if it is to become successful. Whatever content is created, you guys have to ask yourselves will people who know nothing or very little about Bitcoin be interested in this? It's an advertisement not only for Bitcointalk but also for Bitcoin in general. If those watching the videos find the content too difficult or boring, they won't be interested to come here. Beginner-friendly content is great, and I would include short video reviews of guides and tutorials from the forum. Using those most merited is one way to decide which content to go for.

Some types of contests and giveaways are a must. People like freebies. If you aren't gonna give them something, they'll just go elsewhere. Those might not be the members the forum is looking for, but everyone has the potential to become a future contributor here.

Asking the community to vote and suggest what they would like to see on the channel would be greatly appreciated. That might include covering topics not directly related to Bitcoin, such as DeFi, altcoins, etc. They should have a feeling that their voice matters and so do their opinions. Make them comment and share their opinions in the comments and create a thread on Bitcointalk where the YouTube community is welcome to post in. The overall message to the viewers shouldn't be: Bitcoin and Bitcointalk are the best, everything else sucks including you if you are interested in it. 

It's been mentioned many times in these past two weeks, but please consider the evil fee system and what kind of effect it could have on those who see a good video, come here to register, and see that they have to pay to get in. Some kind of restart of the evil IPs could be a possibility just to prevent that some comments under the videos come from unsatisfied members who were asked to pay a penalty to register. 

I can do all that (in the long run) as our Youtube channel (this one) has just started out and we don't have any videos yet. But we (I) would need to hire some video editing staff first.

This has the consequence though that we'll have to call it "The NotATether Youtube Channel" instead of "The Bitcointalk Youtube Channel"


We did that on our own site, but with a few exceptions like xtralev's Faketoshi compilation thread, nobody paid attention to them.

I don't particularly like doing a MrBeast-like video related to bitcoin because this'll make bitcoin giveaways look legitimate and will indirectly cause gullible people to fall for other scam giveaways on the assumption they are real. Probably the reason why MrBeast's videos haven't caused a mass rise in fake dollar giveaways is that it's much harder to pull it off with credit cards and PayPal since you can just issue a chargeback and/or ban the receipent's account.

This is a very good idea!

I have been discussing this idea (together with others) on my thread:

Is Bitcointalk.org losing user base?

Setting up a YT channel is a very good way of gain traction.
I saw a lot of good suggestions already on the thread (sorry, out of merits guys) I will just add my two cents:

• What will be the audience of this channel? Insiders of the forum or outsiders? Insiders might be interested on a best post/best user/interview to forum members, but this would hardly drag anyone new to the forum. A “Mr Beast like channel” would probably be more successful dragging more new users to the channel, even if we must find a way to lure those new users to the forum (that I guess it’s the final scope of the whole thing, if I am not wrong
• Quality of the production. Whatever the content, successful YT channel nowadays have a very elevated quality standard in terms of filming, audio, editing, social media engagement etc. Amateur hour is over, so just be sure to post high quality content. Packaging is sometime ad much important of the actual content.
• I fully support this initiative. I don’t know how I can be useful (I h as c’è no clue on how to record a video for YT) but in case, I am here to help. Interviews, using the content of my threads/posts, whatever you think it would be useful, I am here.

I think great care will need to be taken when creating content. Bitcoin is often seen as a thread to the globalists, and content that is not circumspect could lead to YouTube strikes. I would like to see comments on the emerging government currencies - the "Britcoin" is one example, but that topic is probably a minefield given today's heavy censorship.
