I was talking to a client the other week that sells 'Gourmet Spanish Seasonings' through the website I built for her. She mentioned that she 'heard about some Bitcoin thing' but had no idea what it was etc etc. It took forever and a day to explain to her why she would be smart in accepting Bitcoins. No sale at this time as she is now super confused with all the scattered information all over the web.
This left a nagging thought in my mind which has been bothering me for a few weeks now. The information that the average joe receives about Bitcoin comes from Mainstream media, the keepers of the status quo.
What if we as a community could create a brochure or something and then deliver it to 10s of thousands of affluent house holds in one shot?
This brochure would have information like
- How to buy items / merchandise using bitcoins
- How to accept bitcoins as a merchant
- Where to buy bitcoins
- How to keep their wallet secure
- How to open their wallets, etc etc
Or whatever information the community decides to place in front of thousands of people / homes at a time.
This creates a special situation for the bitcoin community.
1. Regular joes would receive bitcoin information right at their own homes, and most important
2. YOU control the bitcoin information that the people read.
We all know that the keepers of the status quo love to place any BAD news about bitcoin on their front pages so now you can place new information in front of thousands of people, the information that you want them to hear.
Reaching 10,000 to hundreds of thousands households in one shot might change the regular joes perception about bitcoin which is a good thing.
What do you guys think?
PS.
How do I add my bitcoin wallet 17XU49ERHdYwuJjJKrZE63btJJqAXbHqz1 to my signature for donations and such since I do not have any?
