From few days someone paid Youtube adverts to put his Bitcoin video on top

Great!

and video is not too bad at all !!!!

What do you guys think ?? -> LINK : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b4qaIJed_w4

That's a pretty neat video!

One complaint or point of critique though: they way it's currently demonstrated, novice users may get the impression you actually have to enter addresses manually, or even remember them. Like email addresses. The way it's shown in the video is as if the address is literally being typed in.

When explaning Bitcoin, when it comes to addresses, I always stress the fact that you NEVER have to remember or manually enter an address. It's all just clicking links, scanning QR, or at most (in rare cases) copy/paste. And I totally leave the concept of private keys outside the discussion. Bitcoin is overwhelming enough as it is, for noobs. No need to trouble them with private keys. Just like for practical use of Bitcoin, they don't need to know about elliptic curve cryprography or hashes either.

I agree - it is not perfect

But it is very good and it will have a lot of views till it is "advertised".

I have to make my video in English - It was done in Polish but I need to make a translation

There is nothing new in this video, but it is still good enough

There is "something" new ... but it is highly similar to what it was before

Anyway indeed - great videos.

To be honest, an ordinary users don't really need to know the details of mining and the technical aspects. They would just find it difficulty to understand, and get confused.

Indeed. I didn't take Bitcoin serious at first when I heard all this talk about "mining". Cheesy

Unfortunately for me ...

I think the new one is better. The first one is telling everyone what is bitcoin and what it can do. The new one tells you how easy to use it.

I am sorry what is better in that video than in original one?

The beginnings are almost identical but after 28 sec the new video explains that BTC is a currency exchangeable with EUR, USD etc. It goes on with how easy it is to use a wallet and to make purchases. The old video, however, explains mining and the technical limit in the number of bitcoins.

In my opinion this subtle difference is a very big improvement. Say you just started using BTC and share this on Facebook. If you attach the new video I believe more people will give it a try.

Will check this video, I'm already familiar with BTC but I like to watch different bitcoin videos as It has some useful information most of the time. Also please post links like that in beginner section, videos like these would help them alot to move forward.

Time is on our side, yes it is!

I look forward to checking it out. I have to admit the older ones are very outdated and it was time for a newer version. Thanks for letting us know and thanks to WeUseCoins for the work they've done. Let's hope it is very successful and many people get an idea of what Bitcoin has to offer.

I embedded both videos on my blog. If you have a big screen you can play both at the same time to see the differences.

It's kind of an update rather than an improvement.

Yes well.. it is "updated" but not really up to date like I was saying.

It is almost the same ... and if this is so new why they put a fee 0.0005BTC when it is 0.0001BTC in most cases?

Thanks for sharing. I think video is good ... but it is almost a same with a original... and I think original (old one) is better.

Edited: Both videos are very good Wink

A new Bitcoin video has just been uploaded by WeUseCoins. In my opinion it gives a much better presentation to beginners than the old “What is Bitcoin?” video did.

Big thanks to WeUseCoins for promoting Bitcoin.
