This is very interesting, however we must appreciate his job by accepting bitcoin as payment method, campaigning in this way indirectly provide information to people about what bitcoin is and how to use it
i would gladly give a small tip to this guy

Nice idea, It's will make someone will easier to donation, Maybe will appear another performer will adopt bitcoin, Maybe it's also advertised bitcoin to civilians.
Awesome. Amazing to see just a simple QR for placed nicley on his case - also keeps the performers a little safer from people stealing from them!
This guy is really smart. He knows the youngsters love bitcoin and looking for way to spend their bitcoins. And since donations are normally not a lot he is very well aware that he now can have some extra's. I love it when people play this psychology game.
Agree with you to an extent but he's not really smart as you have put it.He seems to be more practical towards shit around,maybe he knows a thing or two about bitcoins he's taking it as an other opportunity to earn more.Since every newbie around the forum ,he thinks bitcoins=more money and getting rich sooner,which is a lie.

The great thing about this is that people can pay him even though they aren't carrying any cash or change with them. It makes it very convinient to send him a few dollars in bitcoins. I t's also harder for him to get robbed.
Well this is very clever marketing on his part though I have to admit. He probably knows he is not doing so great so he decided to film himself performing and post the video online so as to attract more people who will eventually scan his QR code and donate some Bitcoins to his wallet. But we don't know for sure if he is really a street performer or not. What if this is a joke and he is just trying to figure out how many Bitcoins he could get from complete strangers over the Internet. I think his efforts are worth it but his talent in singing is not very good 
This is very nice,i don't like his music tbh but it doesn't matter i would gladly give a small tip to this guy only cause he accepts bitcoin 
Most street performers are so bad they can't earn enough money to pay for their bus ticket back home. That one will need all the tips he can get, but he's so bad any Bitcoin tips will probably be less than the fees used to send them. He'd be lucky to get a one sat tip.
If I find someone performing for Bitcoins on the street, I'd definitely donate some. 
Haha. I'd palm him off with fiat.
American Street Person Accepts Crack. Banksters worried.
Ah, bit more realistic, I'd palm him off with a sandwich.
(didn't watch vid. what street you living on cryptoheadd? how many confirmations did this performer require?)
Nice 
now everybody should accept it haha
now everybody should accept it haha
That guy is gonna need a lot more than bitcoin - how about some singing lessons?
You don't get the point right ? How bad he sings is not the concern ,he is promoting and using bitcoins is.You know that is the best possible way to make people aware of bitcoins.Seems like in few days even beggars will give up on cash.French street person who can't sing sings for bitcoins
That's one smart performer.
It definitely is.

Yep for sure,
That is great.Good to see its actually making sense to people.They are waking up!Although never came across any major bitcoin related news from France,this might be the first one I found exciting.I wonder how many of you actually bothered to scan that bitcoin and send him some tips.
@OP : You sure that guy is not you ?

You can still give him tips "gladly".Use your phone scanner to get his bitcoin address from the video.Post the address here,people might actually send him tips,including me. That's one smart performer.
But if his video gets a lot of exposure on YouTube there will always be people who will appreciate his performance and send him something in Bitcoin by scanning the QR code right? You shouldn't form your opinion about Bitcoiners in general basing everything on people from this forum. A lot of people like to give tips to performers and even though this guys isn't particularly skilled there will always be viewers who will feel touched by his act and send him money. By the way I remember a story about some kid that waved a Bitcoin QR sign during a college game and got $24000 in donations http://www.businessinsider.com/someone-holding-bitcoin-sign-on-college-gameday-receives-over-22-bitcoins-2013-12
I wasn't impressed by his singing skills but as I can't speak French I can't comment on the lyrics part maybe it was some very captivating song Anyways I think this street performer is doing a very smart YouTube advertising and if his video goes viral he will possibly get a lot of tips from viewers who use Bitcoin. Imagine if he has uploaded this video to other video sharing websites and people scan the QR code and donate coins he would probably receive tenfold more money than the fiat paper money he usually collects in his guitar case. I would say he is a very smart businessman that guy

Well don't be that harsh to him - he is doing well, the high notes are not his strong side, but he sounds better than most of the street performers in my country
It's nice to see someone like him, getting the word out about bitcoin - he may not be successful musician, but just spreading the word is enough If I meet someone in my country doing something like that I will be more than glad to give him a tip 
This is very nice,i don't like his music tbh but it doesn't matter i would gladly give a small tip to this guy only cause he accepts bitcoin

I know I'm extra stingy with my cryptocurrency. I spend it for services on this forum when I need them but other than that I'm HODLing. I do offer goods and services through, if you'd like to spend some of your hard-earn bitcoins
This is exactly what I would do if I were a street performer! Why not open the doors to tips from everyone (that uses BTC) on youtube?
That's one smart performer.
It definitely is.
If I find someone performing for Bitcoins on the street, I'd definitely donate some.
