I'd give 20BTC for one right now!

But, I'd rather have Bitcoin over this fancy watch.

Oh, yes, that makes sense.  I agree, I can't think of anything that would catch the general public's interest, and make them want to "invest" in it.

Two things:

    - that site should accept bitcoin pledges

    - the amounts pledged and the speed at which they gathered capital
      is 2 orders of magnitude larger than equivalent crowdfunding projects
      in the BTC world. I wish we could match that by finding a niche project
      that would indeed attract the general public's attention.



So here is the thing that I'll be doing a write-up about on the bitcoinstarter blog  very soon in regards to my new venture bitcoinstarter.com and basically spells out the "secret sauce"  .

I believe one tipping point for bitcoin going mainstream could be just this - You create a bitcoin-only-product which helps incentivize the reason to even get into bitcoin.  I mean if this Pebble E-Paper Watch was Bitcoin only just imagine the amount of attention that would bring to bitcoin.  So in theory it is possible. My job will be to attract such projects to the bitcoin community and bring in the unique -one-off products that should tip the balance in bitcoins favor.

Any thoughts or suggestions or ideas on how to do this do let me know! I suppose this is as good of time to discuss these sort of things.

I have been wanting a watch that connects to my phone ever since I got my phone. Too cool

Anyway, paying with an hi-tech watch is faster than pull out a phone Smiley

i don't understand what would be funded that would create so much mass appeal?
Did you look at it?  It's an e-paper watch that connects via bluetooth to your phone.
He's talking about the OP's subject. Why would Bitcoin attract this kind of funding? How is Bitcoin comparable to a bluetooth watch?

I saw they got their funding in like 2 hours!  I think we can do the same for bitcoins.
