Topic: How can monkeys adopt bitcoin? The 7-step roadmap (Read 1034 times)

That might work

Clarification:

All prices will be denominated in bananas.

When the smartphone receives a certain amount of bitcoin, the screen will only display a corresponding number of bananas.

The monkeys never sees anything related to bitcoin, they only see a certain amount of bananas on the screen of the smartphone.

When the monkey pays for a product the bananas will automatically disappear from the screen.

For example:
The prices can be as follows:

One banana cost one banana
One apple cost two bananas
One snack cost three bananas

Also remember:
The first astronaut was indeed a MONKEY!

Well.. it is good idea but i am doubt it will be happening for today, because there are not many people who adopt bitcoin and understanding about bitcoin, it will become hard to monkeys adopt bitcoin with 7- step.

buying is surly one aspect. they probably expect something like atms and maybe something like prepaid cars you can buy and load up everywhere.
easy to use app. just load it and you have a new wallet and can send/receive instantly. you know, never mind the safety. i just want to use my fingerprint for all, and blame others if something goes wrong.

The funniest thing is some people complain abot bitcoin being too difficult, without actually sayng what exactly is difficult about bitcoin.    

Is it the acquiring of bitcoin that's difficult?  
The concept (People don't understand the concept of fiat either and that doesn't seem to bother them).  
Is it spending?
Checking balance?
Safety?

I don't know.    
I don't bitcoin is hard to use, and I don't know how to make it 'more easy'    
Sure, I'd be happy if someone would improve it so that even monkeys and morons can use it, but I wouldn't know how to make it 'easier'.    


I didn't mean they don't understand numbers (as in not being able to count)

I meant like exchange rate. Which they could also understand, but I mean more like adding and subtracting. And account balance.

If you hand a monkey 10 rocks, and give 2 bananas for a rock, or 20 grapes for the same rock, a monkey would figure it out soon enough. They might even figure out that they could trade a banana for 10 grapes as well if they are smart.    

I don't know if any monkey would be smart enough to understand the concept of digital cash though. Yeah they could pay with bitcoin, but do they realize how much they are paying? Could they work out the exchange rates if they are paying with digital money? I honestly don't know, but I doubt it.  

I imagine i'd be a lot more difficult for them to grasp the concept of it.

Is this an actual thing that exists?

Bye the way…
Scientists have found that monkeys can easily learn how to use money.
They can even develop a simple understanding of economics.

Someone on Reddit sent me this podcast on that subject:

Thanks to everyone for giving feedback!

Did someone say that monkeys can not understand numbers?

yes there is big confusion in this idea, i think it is really difficult to work, that is not such an easy job to be done i think this idea is going to be fail.

nice steps why don't you make a blog with this i am sure you can be a good article writter and you have good writing skills. try to know more and happy earning on this form mate

Glad it's not only me that saw it this way. Number one just seemed to put me in that frame of mind. Maybe it's just my mood seeing as lately lyrics from John Lennon's "Working Class Hero" has been popping into my mind a lot given all that seems to be going on according to the news we're given and the news other people claim we're not given.

Then, the banana machine seems to closely parallel how faucets work. However, a direct comparison would make the monkeys smarter as a banana costs, and is therefore worth more than the amount one could claim from a faucet.

Ha, ha, great idea and instructions!  I'm sure that in some cases monkeys would adopt Bitcoin much faster and easier then humans. Some people are stil very reluctant to use Bitcoins. And some studies have shown that monkeys have the brain who can process some techical data better then we think.

Awesome thinking wish that it could be turned into reality. Our next generation monkeys will be really smart enough if this technology could be implemented successfully. My all best wishes are with you. But still i can't make out the idea of how this technology will work. Can you explain little more please.

same over here. my second thought was that monkey will probably figure it out faster then some humans. yes, we need to make it easier to use, but some have these high demands of usability and no will to actually learn anything, not like some monkeys. 

What a crazy thinking. I am amused with the technology you had mentioned. First of all i thought that this is a joke and 100% it's not possible but after reading your posts i am feeling that everything is possible since technology is invented by man and everything is possible.

"One frog was too small. Another was too large. This one, whom I named Cowbell, is just right. I need more Cowbell!"

Those bananas are too cheap because they are rotten. Those bananas are priced higher because they are still green - not quite ripe. Those bananas are at a premium price because they are ripe. Those bananas are priced even higher due to being perfectly ripe and are shaped slightly differently than other Cavendishes, with my previous enjoyable experiences with them confirming that the much higher valuation is warranted.

Now that my belly's full and my dick's been satisfied, hunt me a chimp-proof laptop so that I can get started on the next novel stuck in my head - Three Chimps in a Boat (To Say Nothing of the Frog): A Chimp Thriller.

cool, but it would be better if we could make someting like this for the blind people or for those with special needs, so they can adopted bitcoin like us, i think lets make human first adopted bitcoin before make animal adopt it, i never seen blind people transaction with the bitcoin before, anyway your idea is cool, however i couldn't imagine if someday monkey could adopt bitcoin.

Oh, this is a real thing? While reading it at first, I thought you were describing the socio-political status of most of the human race and the use of faucets specifically with xapo or faucetbox. If you think about it, there are some parallels, especially at the beginning....lol

Thats so cool. hahaha.

Looked up the wallet on blockchain..

Total Received: 0.05937098 BTC

I wish I was that creative..

I couldn't imagine that also monkeys can adopt bitcoin.. real human still not adopted bitcoin we are slow movement and then now we are looking for monkeys to adopt bitcoin. i think better human adopt bitcoin first before we can start teach monkeys to adopt bitcoin..
