Bitcoin: An Idea Worth Spending

YouTube's always been a great way for people to communicate and talk about new things.
Most of the people there make videos to earn some extra cash and many actually make a living out of it.

All the top channels (with the most subscribers) sell things like t-shirts, hats, bracelets, etc... to have an extra cash flow.

What if
...they start selling their stuff with Bitcoins?
...they start accepting donations with Bitcoins?

EDIT: And of course, we can start some funding and pay for those top youtubers to use a Bitcoin T-Shirt.

We should make a small presentation and an explanaition how they can enjoy Bitcoin.

I leave some of the channels I watch every week:

Taking a page (or two) from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6c0VtOdibcI

And market The Greatest YouTube Video Ever Sold.

Image a girl (or very young lady) in a empty room. (the room may need to be large, but this fact is not apparent at first--would need to be large to contain, hopefully, all the stuff)

The first episode, she is wearing a Bitcoin shirt. Nothing else (as we can see from the waist down--pants she wears will be shown later when an advertised brand approaches her). No earrings. No makeup. No jewelry. No hat.

As she starts amassing items, she talks about them (mostly in the positive). Each episode, a new item is seen/exposed/talked about. And she is always wearing the same Bitcoin shirt/tee/blouse, with no need to ever talk about it again, for it was already discussed in episode #1.

As time goes by, her videos will soon reach the 1 million viewership mark. Have a vanity Bitcoin donation address set up to collect funds, stipulating that all proceeds will be donated to a charity picked by Oprah (1Oprah... address would be nice). This would offer the best chance for her to be on an Oprah show, thus gaining more exposure.

Example on how it could unfold:

Bitcoin shirt.
Indie designer jeans/pants/slacks.
Barn wood table.
Laptop with the Memory Dealers's logo on it (the back side the viewers see).
A picture on the wall behind her.
An empty rack, soon to hold future items supplied by...
A doll on shelf.
The largest Oprah book available sitting on the table.
Earrings.
Necklace.
Ballcap/hat.
Watch.
Bracelet.

In the description would be the link to a website showing all the items and where they came from. And they are all hers, donated for the sole purpose to gain market/mind share.

The girl must be genuine and use her real name, unless she stipulates everywhere that she uses a pseudonym and may later reveal her true identity.
