+1 rep for you Calem, that’s a great intro.

It’s as layman as an explanation I can come up with. Most people understand crypto’s when they’re pitched like that. From a businesses perspective, it sounds very tempting to find out more.

If I can get 1 random stranger who owns a business a week to just simply google feathercoin or even crypto currency. I think I’m on my way to showing people how to do the “shirtless dance”.

I gotta bail to work in 5 mins, so another day, another dance =^-^=

Thanks for sharing; great vid. And Calem, I’m going to modify your elevator pitch and start using it.

Also, I dance like that for reals.

Cool video, and that’s what happens -

I advise Feathercoin not to trick people to follow, that is why I am against give-aways and other mass marketing.

I have studied human psychology and animal psychology as part of my study of Artificial Intelligence techniques and how the brain works.

I would only ever point out those techniques as something to avoid. I know it is possible to make people do a stupid dance, or see one line longer than the other when they are the same size.

I want a way where people can break free of being manipulated by those instincts and get real joy of learning and contributing to human advancement, which I see open source and bitcoin protocol are pioneering. This is the new economy.

At Feathercoin I have only been involved because we have all agreed we need to enpower members to run the currency. That is the only way some currencies can remain as decentralised as possible.

Kevlar’s idea to make it easier to see the code in windows is great example of that. He is trying to teach people how to dance first, and then letting them decide what to do at the festival themselves …

Aww cheers! How would you put it in it’s quickest and simplest form?

Hehehe… you don’t wanna see how I dance.

Brilliant. That is how to create leaders, or maybe it could be put, showing individuals how to bring out the leader in themselves.

On Monday I’ll take out $100 from the ATM, ruin it, go in and ask for a new one.
Ruin the new note the next day and ask for a new one. Repeat.

Doesn’t stop me from doodling on money, though.

Anyone read
Nudge by Thaler and some other guy I can’t remember the name of?

Just wanted to mention, this thread was a part of my motivation to do this “A Message: Hackers, Haters and Whales.” -> [url=http://forum.feathercoin.com/index.php/topic,7189.0.html]http://forum.feathercoin.com/index.php/topic,7189.0.html[/url]

My only post thoughts are… Did I aptly name the thread… or should I change it…
