No, the whole point is to keep it decentralised and anonymous. No videos. No KYC. I imagine something more like a guided process tailored towards each individuals needs and knowledge levels. Currently learning about Bitcoin is more of a try-and-see approach.

Really good work. Maybe a little too fast, but that's only based on my own expectations. Next time i'll try better to extend it more
Great find on google, too.

I'd be very wary about handing coins over to BlockFi, it may easily turn out to be the regulated version of what bitcoiners know as "the exit scam".

effectively you'd be selling the bitcoin at a discount given by the collateralisation rate .... and paying interest on the privilege until the the time they go bust and say "coinz went somewhere"

they had a high profile ex-regulator on the board to suck in some credibility and more coins ... he just left

they did the same thing with Corzine and MF Global when they needed physical gold to keep the dollar ponzi alive a bit longer in 2008 ... set-up an options and futures racket to suck in the desired physical product then go bust and pay out cents on the dollars in dirty printed fiat .... burns all the little guys and keeps them away from the casinos big tables where the banks play

it's all a shell game where you got to keep your eye on the pea .... CME got the gold to cover all the big boys shorts positions and all the little guys who were long gold in the futures market that was blowing it up had money confiscated, criminally so, directly from their accounts .... Corzine walked with a slap on wrist $5 mill fine, JPMorgan got the little guys siphoned fiat the day before it went bust ... CME got the gold and the fiat ponzi game goes on, only big, connected shorts that keep the fiat show alive get to truly use leverage .... all is well with the world, if you're okay with criminals in high places

Despite my best efforts, I appear to be trapped with traffic sellers.
We'll get there.

The own platform would only make sense with video tutorials and live coaching?.
(i'm out)

A minimal approach could be a channel named like "bitcoin school" on Twitter. I read they are currently working on implementing BTC tips via lightning.
Expect KYC, though, but it would be similar to paypal-level, so kinda weak then, i assume.

Yay!

I like this game...

Merits are the icing on the top.
I must admit I have NEVER been there.
I immediately tought about Venice because of the poles in the Sea... but there are no visible cities from Venice (been there).
So I tought about Trieste (never been there).... loooking on Google maps i found Grado (never been there)....
Street view no great help so I googled:

"Trieste as seen grom Grado", in italan and I found this interesting picture:



Bingo!


I must admit I like this game and this is my proudest finding:


EDIT: Thanks @El_ Duderino for filling up the bag!

I hate Venice. Not the city itself, just the too many tourists.
Nevertheless,
As we can see, competition-crushing local advantage WINS 

Both are correct. It's Grado Pineta's view on Trieste. You must have already been there a couple of times, i guess.
Last week was quiet, in centro about half of the busyness i used to see there, restaurants were almost filled, but no waiting guests in the evening. Unusual but more pleasant, imo.

Fillippone won 15 sMerit.

We could start off with social media but at some point get our own platform. We could also introduce some kind of buddy system and mentor system that rewards and incentivizes mentorships. Maybe a fee system to decentralise the platform and to pay for costs and incentives?

Smells like Venice, but I think it's Grado Pineta and over there it's Trieste.

Explanation

^My hint was
Which platform do you eventually think of?
Daily lessons via twitter?
I'd suggest some platform that already attracted a lot of newbies and is highly active (facebook would be the lowest mark on this scale).

You just gave me an idea. We could start a "Bitcoin School" where we could teach newbies about bitcoin, mining, blockchain and so on. A lot of people aren't getting far with DYOR (in fact it steers them towards shitcoins and scams where they lose their interest for crypto all together). People need mentors. This would also promote Bitcoin adoption.

What do you guys think? Would anyone be willing to start something like that with me?

edit: Are you in Miami?


Thanks  . The corn does indeed reward it's faithful followers.

Whoa, not even close by kilomiles 
I emphasized the hint to the country in my self-quote above.

South Twin Lake, Oregon.

Seems like i had to go on a second vacation for the price to go over $50k  
Greetings from fillippone's motherland.

One of my sons came up to me today and reported that he has seen a bitcoin-tattoo on one guy. So he asked him if he "knows bitcoin", and the guy said "yes".
No more words were wasted on the topic (good boy). Later on, i saw the guy and the tat, but it was a regular uppercase "B" in college font, in a circle. I guess it should mean "Basketball" or "Baseball".
I explained the Bitcoin symbol to my son again, i think he finally got it now  



EDIT:

I got 4 sendable Merit at the moment.
Will give 2 10 sMerit to the WO identifying the location (city)
Will give 1 5 sMerit for correctly guessing the name of the city in the background as well

EDIT2:
Thanks to El_duderino, who made it possible to top up the sMerit rewards.
It's a hard riddle, but i will give additional tips if nobody can solve it.

"would have a long way to go to catch up. We are early in a continuing adoption curve and Bitcoin will be volatile but we think the risk-reward is attractive."

The filing noted that the fund owns 1.5 million shares of Grayscale Bitcoin.
