As far as the issue of using celebrity names without permission, even assuming for the sake of argument that there would be no legal issues, wouldn't it be better to have the celebrity on board anyways? That way they could promote the product during interviews on talk shows and such.
True good point. I mean in the ideal world this would be the way to go.Quote
The advantage of targeting teenagers would be that they may become lifetime users. Maybe a better way to reach them would be through the classroom. Could we convince business/economics teachers that satoshis make good "play money" for classroom exercises? I think there are some possibilities there.
I think you bring a convincing point there in these would become lifetime users. Yes, the classroom is another way I think there was some user on this forum who was doing that. Good suggestions!
haha good stuff Bruno!

The forum has a lot of teenagers. There are the people who follow trends most closely, and among which Bitcoin is a means of expression. What we really need is an elderly population to use Bitcoin.
According to that poll, there are three, all of them male.Bitcoin's community is indisputably young, possibly one of the youngest of close-knit communities (ignoring child-targeted communities such as Neopets or Barbie). What we need is for the wealthy rich to join in.

You get girls to post sexy "jail-bait" pictures and guys send them tips. The girls can have a wishlist of stuff they want (say amazon.com) and as they accrue bitcoins they can redeem them for their stuff from the site operator. This way you don't have to teach teenage girls dumb enough to post pictures of themselves on the net how to deal with bitcoins, just male nerds.
I'll just leave this here. http://posadoll.com

So the other day I was thinking if there was anyway of marketing bitcoins to teenagers we would be pretty golden for bitcoins.
So for example, someone like Cody Simpson we could have Cody Coins site . At first, we would do a Cody Coins faucet and each teenage girls would come and get like say small bit of cody coins. Hopefully, there would be a way to spend these cody coins ( after some accumulation or something) maybe at coinDL for a cody simpson track or t-shirt or something. The point being all of sudden bitcoins could go mainstream in pop culture . In the ideal world teenagers would begin to snatch up cody coins and help propel it virally through twitter and facebook of what they have.
I don't know this is pretty far out there but I can see how this would play into a few different variations like Beiber Coins lol ....thoughts?
edit: I think this would be a good market to target as a lot of household disposable income goes to this type of audience and teenage "buy in" already happens as its the most sought out target market in the world.

This is stupid, sexist, and borderline illegal.
^^this^^ plus we already have DeCrypto and GGB doing that.

This is stupid, sexist, and borderline illegal.Again, I don't think teenagers are a target market. They are usually poor, and enough of them use Bitcoin anyways. Target the elderly instead.

Then I suggest you grab it and run with it....
lol ok ...didn't know I needed your permission first
Terrible idea.
I'd give you a free idea which might actually work:
Make a free2play mmorpg or social networking site in which you can earn and spend bitcoin, themed for your particular audience.
Bonus points if you find a clever way of combining the two.
Then of course that would be a lot more work, but you aren't afraid of work are you?

I see where your coming from. Not afraid of work no!!

I am sure they would want to know about it first and to give their permission to use their name. If you contact Hollywood people - that group is more than likely going to be against it.
I'm not following everyone's logic here where the person needs to be contacted? Am I not allowed to make a fan site? I suppose your saying a "profitable" fan site ? Then what happens when I put google adsense on my fan site currently or something is that making a profit?
Just watching out for you and bitcoin
I have seen some singers who refused to let some politicians use their music.. I do not know the legal stuff on whether or not you are allowed to make a fan site. I do not know about google adsense either. Sorry for not having a lot of answers for you, but after seeing what they did to Kim Dotcom, me personally I would be careful. But that is just me.

How would this work? Would you be asking teenage girls (or more likely their parents) to exchange USD for bitcoins and then exchange them for merchandise? Or would you be giving away the coins?
As with anything else its the parents that "buy in" to what their teenagers do. At first, would be giving bits of bitcoin away. This way it becomes a novelty within a novelty. The girls can claim to their friends they have Cody Coins thus drawing them in. You could even have a "limited supply" and once that is gone they would have to purchase them. And yes they could use them to buy merchandise, songs etc., or just send amongst each other. Quote
For this model to become profitable, or even just break even, you'd basically have to become an online currency exchange. It would probably be easier to convince Mt. Gox to start selling celebrity endorsed Yubikeys.
I think becoming a "online wallet" makes more sense and do advertising. Obviously, the model would have to be worked on. I was just seeing if its even a good demographic to be targeting.

If you're willing to operate at a loss simply to increase Bitcoin awareness, you'd better be prepared to give up astronomical amounts of money to convince your target market that it's better to obtain the merchandise through you instead of simply buying it at the mall or downloading it from itunes.
Yes, aware of this but the trade off could be pretty big. Good feedback thanks!
You are partially right. I just see teenage demographic as a game-changer. Just don't know how to get there or at least working on it
