Great Bitshares Video, Hope to See an Update

I think calling someone a jerk for having some financial difficulties is a bit harsh. He seems like a nice guy in the video - but he's competing with us ;)

Agreed, i'll walk that back.

They have a smart website and a good video and we need to emulate that.

He has left a very long trail of hostile litigation with people he has done business with.

"He seems like a nice guy in the video" may be a trifle naive.

It doesn't have to be personal or accusatory - just point out that, using their system, you are forced to trust him whether you think he is trustworthy or not.

Btw checkout the CEO's career. Apparently he owes unpaid taxes, and has filed for bankruptcy. And he wants to hold other people's money.

Thats Amazing, what a jerk. Thanks for digging that up.

I do think this is the sort of video we need though. It oozes easy of use and explains the concept quickly.

Isnt there some smart youtuber out there that can come up with this soft of thing for us. I'm sure everyone here would chip in a couple of dollars to get this sort of thing out there. I wonder if the marketers are already on it though ....

I'm also a big fan of the 1 min videos

These make it real easy to open the conversation, I've already seen success with it.   10-15 short videos would make me happy.  :)

This video is fantastic in terms of marketing.

@bytemaster - this is the type of video we need to show the advantages and ease of use of Bitshares. It shows how easy it is to use and makes people want to use it.

Please can we get this sort of quality videos produced for our marketing push.

IIRC brian et al. Have 9 videos in the pipeline

Is there a post that outlines anything about the length, topics, eta? I remember reading something about a handful of videos being created, but don't recall any details. I know Bitmarket is working on a bitUSD item.

Max Wright's smiling Aussie face will soon be everywhere.

If you want to do a technical video, I would recommend that you emulate the format of things such as MinutePhysics or CGPGrey.

MinutePhysics is a VERY good example .. I really like them!

I'd want 20 or so < 60 seconds videos.

This can be better but it's a decent example of selling the basics & advantages of decentralisation to mainstream in under 3 minutes.
