Sorry I haven't posted any updates. I've been doing a lot of reading about YouTube monetisation, traffic building, and their draconian policies. I'm starting to feel that YT is going the way of Bud light, and trying to destroy the business by enforcing the will of the banking/pharma elite. I guess it is a reasonable platform to experiment with video production, but the way it is at the moment, it doesn't look as if it is a viable long term project. Some content producers arfe reporting a reduction of 80% in their revenue, and that will make it difficult to start a new channel. They are also promting a payment service to gain traffic, and that will reduce quality in my opinion. I certainly won't consider paying for traffic, that was the reason I gave up on using the Bravce browser and it's monetisating community. I guess I'll look around for some of the newer "uncensored" platforms, and especially those that are Bitcoin friendly.
I'm getting fed up with all the rubbish/noisy adverts that YouTube is pushing, and I'm concerned that those are being added to videos without any reward for the ciontent producer. YouTube is constantly pushing an ad free premium service that I need to pay to join. I'm reluctant to do this if all the decent content producers are leaving the platform.

Lots of traffics still hover on youtube, and creators still make money from the platform. Though, the fact that users are moving out doesn't mean an end to the platform, a new set creators like you would join the platform and continue publishing their work. However, if you are in the US you can use Patreon to create contents and earn money, VPN works too, if you don't stay in the USA. You also need to understand that getting traffic will be difficult for those who don't pay for traffic, unless you devise a different method that works for you.

What do you guys think? Is YouTube losing its dominant position?

Youtube still harness the highest number of video contents, short and long. It'll be difficult for it to leave its dominant position. New contents platforms are coming up, but the traffic on youtube is still excellent and enormous. Don't know about how they pay, but the topics you listed above are very interesting and catchy. I like the way you made it look attractive and the fact that you'll also create some fun contents that won't focus mainly on bitcoin. It's better to start, be consistent and forget perfection for now!

My advice to business users is to embrace Bitcoin as an efficient means of international payment, but they may be advised to sell their Bitcoin receipts to avoid losses as a result of its volatility. My target audience is van dwellers, and others living offgrid, and who are considering Bitcoin as a form of saving and wealth protection.

You can start with your vlog about Bitcoin and how it can be used around the world without any hesitation even if you are off-grid or online. If you are dwelling in the Van then it's even easier for you to start this type of vlog. For example, in your Vlog, you can walk towards a store and show your users how you can easily pay with the Bitcoin and one could easily make a living out of it.

By this, you can prove saving Bitcoin is worth it. I mean if they save it today then they can spend even more in the future as it is getting accepted even today.

Apart from this, it would be a good idea to give practical demos on how to safeguard their Bitcoins if they are going to store them for a very long period of time. You can keep publishing this tutorial in between your Vlogs to keep the audience engaged with content that's closer to their daily lives.

I took note of all the various comments in my recent threads, and many thanks for those. I'm planning my YouTube channel at the moment, and it seems to me that a dedicated Bitcoin channel is not a good idea. I very rarely watch them any more, as they seem to be contradictory, and often over complex, and many of them seem to show a lack of understanding of the purpose and technology behind Bitcoin. There seem to be 3 main categories of Bitcoiners ( apart from undecided newbies of course), and these are speculators, businesses and weath protectors. I don't want to target the speculators, as those are either gamblers or highly technical statisticians. My advice to business users is to embrace Bitcoin as an efficient means of international payment, but they may be advised to sell their Bitcoin receipts to avoid losses as a result of its volatility. My target audience is van dwellers, and others living offgrid, and who are considering Bitcoin as a form of saving and wealth protection.

So, should I accept that Bitcoin has now become an established medium of exchange and savings, and just include videos about it in a general offgrid camper channel? The alternative would be to create a dedicated Bitcoin channel, and thus have to compete with all the established Bitcoin channels. I've also got a problem with the new GA4 Google analytics. Should I include my Bitcoin websites in my Offgrid Camper property, or, again, would it be better to have a financial property for Bitcoin? My preference is to keep things simple, and include bitcoin in the broader social channel in both instances.

I have read you previous post about starting a Youtube channel realted to bitcoin and start earning bitcoin from it.
To be really honest, I am not really convinced with the idea. I know you don't have to convince me either and I am not discouraging you or anything like that.
But just tell me why would anyone watch your channel when there are already so many channels and speakers explaining about bitcoin.
What difference would you bring to the tabler ? I think you should do something different if you really want people to watch your videos.
Something unique which has not been done till date would bring up the interest in people and make them watch your videos. All the best.

As an 81-year-old man, you seem to be very excited to start your YouTube channel. There are many activities that you will do.
And it certainly requires a schedule that you have to make for each content.
Some of the content is quite interesting such as Lifestyle Vlogs about living in a van, such content is also in demand at the moment.

You really have to be consistent to create some content and after creating some content with all categories you just need to see how much audience exposure to the content you create. there you will see which content is indeed watched a lot.

Each content really must have an attraction so that the audience wants to click on your video by giving a Thumbnail that is indeed interesting.

I tried watching channels that focused just on Bitcoin or on cryptos, but I stopped a long time ago. Most of the channels I watch have a general theme, but somewhat varied content that occasionally includes something off-topic. I think a vlog-style channel would suit you best, especially since you really have an interesting lifestyle. Why not make it about yourself, centred around your personality and life?
Perhaps the target audience of van dwellers is too small (and do such people usually use YouTube?), but people often watch videos about something that's very different from their lives, which is why I think that your content can be interesting to people who live regular lives as well.

I think you've already had your mind set on which path to take but with all these interesting threads, don't you think your target audience would be a little too small? With your vast store of knowledge and helpful insights, more could benefit from it and it could spread the Bitcoin awareness faster. Idk tho, it's just a suggestion here.

I've started these threads as preliminary research before starting a YouTube channel. I've flirted with the idea for some time, but I've only recently firmed my resolve. The replies I have received have given me the chance to hone and modify my ideas, and, as I am a typical Gemini, I'll probably create a channel with a hotch potch of ideas. These include.

- A lifestyle blog about living in a van as an 81 year old man.
- saving classic cars in association with my Save Old Cars site.
- A layman's introduction to Bitcoin ( but I wont be discussing alts, as I don't know anything about them ).
- Running a full Bitcoin node on a laptop computer in a van.
- How to eat healthily on a budget.
- Avoiding muscle loss as you age.
- Natural alternatives to damaging and destructive pharmaceuticals.
- Vehicle maintenance when you are living in a field, or on a beach.
- Tips to help you live on a low income.
- Managing your finances without a fixed address
- Hedgerow cooking
- Drone photography
- Treasure hunting with a metal detector.
- Practical preservation and regeneration of the environment.
- Dash cam photography
- Restoring antique tools and machinery.

There are probably a load more, but hose will do for a start.

Lately, there has been a limited number of YouTube vloggers who primarily focus on bitcoin. Instead, their main interest lies in altcoins. Unfortunately, several revelations have surfaced recently, exposing their involvement in projects that secretly aim to deceive investors. As a result, people's perception of YouTubers, whether they specialize in bitcoin or altcoins, has been negatively impacted.

That's only a small part, but let's look at most of the YouTubers currently successfully introducing Altcoin and Bitcoin with Youtube.
I found many channels that discuss Crypto and indeed not only focus on Bitcoin, but the latest news about crypto, especially Bitcoin and some new Airdrops and tesnets that provide incentives to early adopters.
positive and negative impacts will certainly occur, but it depends on how we filter the content well.

Some of the suggestions addressed to the OP seem to refer to the channel not having to focus on Bitcoin alone because it will give less exposure, because if it only discusses Bitcoin it looks boring. I personally would also get bored, interesting Video Content is content that is not monotonous, so your audience will have many choices of content to watch.

YouTubers these days very commonly have secondary channels, and YouTube algorithm will recommend them to regular watchers of the main channel.

It seems that everything you are asking is what the OP is aiming for. About the Primary channel and Secondary channel, it is currently widely used.
Those who have a Primary channel that focuses on their content only without mixing about personal life content.
The secondary Youtube channel is certainly a place for Vlog content or the process behind the creation of the main content. it will support the main channel well.

What are your goals exactly? Maximizing ad revenue? Educating people? Spreading Bitcoin adoption? Growing your current YouTube channel? It's impossible to answer what's best for you without knowing your priorities.

It’s good decision to start the YouTube channel based on the bitcoin.Because many new people are struggling to understand the bitcoin market.Many new traders are flying from the bitcoin trading by the small loss during the bear market.They don’t know the bull market is their to regain our money and for that we just need to hold the bitcoin.The views for your channel will come from the beginners who don’t know more about the bitcoin and they don’t know when the next halves in bitcoin price.

Well, for me, I think if you already have a channel that is based on your profession, and also have gained alot of fellowers who are also inline with the same profession as you, and you (to expand your horizon in other to achieve more) feel its time to include bitcoin in your videos and discussions, I personally do not think there is any need to open a new channel specifically for bitcoin..

You could just start adding bitcoin to your videos, but before you do so, make sure to make an announcement video to your fellows and let them know that starting from a time you decide, you will start making bitcoin videos as well, for them to get to learn more about it and possibly open them up to more opportunities, just make sure to explain the benefit bitcoin adds/bring to your profession/their profession to them so they don't think you are now shifting or deviating from the original purpose of the channel.

A dedicated Youtube channel will generate less viewership and subscriber base. If I were you, I would go for a Crypto channel instead of a Bitcoin channel.
That way you will be able to cover major news and updates for every asset in the Cryptoverse and grow much faster and quicker.

What do you want to hear?
Why is that question even existing?

If you want to make a youtube channel about bitcoin then just do it.
Many people are interested in this subject so if you are making good content people will watch it.

Just try to make something else than all the other channels, try to find your own style.

And don't give financial advise, this often goes south. Grin

Good luck with this project!

The last time you spoke of YouTube, it was about monetizing the channel...are you still on this path ?? I suppose that's a topic for another day..

Anyway, you have mentioned your target audience being van dwellers and the alike, don't you think this is limiting your audience and as a content creator you don't want to have artificial limitations. Btw if you want to get your content to reach more users out there, allow the YouTube algorithm to put your content out there for all to see, by making the channel a general crypto channel..talk about latest developments in the crypto ecosystem , market reactions etc. Definitely not going to be easy, but what matters is starting from somewhere.

Is your name a bitcoin channel youtube? Or is it your plan? There are many ingfluencers on youtube who have made content about bitcoin and honestly most of them are really just for content and views, although only a few of them explain clearly and truthfully about bitcoin especially when it comes to trading because most to them it seems that what they are explaining is far from reality.
But I support what you said that it is good to include bitcoin in our businesses as one of the options that can be used for payment, because not only will it be a big help to your business but also other customers who have no idea about it will have awareness and curiosity in bitcoin.

Why not just have one channel and mix it all there. Its nice to mix your audience with variety of topics to discuss somehow. Even if you discuss about places where you camp, some might ask if there are stores nearby accepting BTC. These are the audienced that you may be looking for.

Having another channel means you need to build up another group focused on one particular subject. A pool of topics not just BTC will not bore subscribers.

May I ask which do you wanna be remembered for?

They are both the same but the difference there is that op won't create anything altcoin than just bitcoin all less he decides to change his mind by including some few altcoin which I think he might not have interest to do that currently. However you brought up a good suggestions to attract visitors to the channel, @Jet cash would you by any means consider adding altcoin as well instead of specifically focusing on bitcoin only?

I think you have a good idea of your target audience and your niche. I agree that a dedicated Bitcoin channel might not be the best option for you, as there are already many of them and they cater to different types of Bitcoiners. I think you should focus on your offgrid camper lifestyle and how Bitcoin fits into it. You can share your experiences, tips and insights on how Bitcoin helps you live offgrid, save money and protect your wealth.
