Blockcast.cc Chit Chat Session with Jan & Nic from Bitcoinlive

Blockcast.cc: You have named quite a handful of good projects. Some of them we know them well like COSMOS. We have also seen other projects like Medsblock.com, Decent.ch, Gaimin.io, Troy, Wink and all that are doing their fair bit for the community.

Share with our readers an inspiring quote or saying. Our readers will appreciate your views.

Bitcoinlive: Since we want to make people think and open their eyes to the possibilities, we always end our shows with the saying “Makes you wonder!”. Critical thinking and thinking for yourself are essential in these interesting times we live in, and especially in crypto. Besides, life is so much better when you stop once in a while and wonder why things are the way they are. Life is beautiful and full of surprises. It’s also much weirder than most people think.

The second quote we like to share is: “We are the signal, so don’t mind the noise”. Since everything starts with ourselves, so if we all stay grounded and focused on our goal, and keep moving on the road we’re on, things will generally and miraculously fall into place. That is, if we don’t let ourselves get distracted by the noise out there.

Blockcast.cc: Any last word guys before we end this interview. Tell us anything you want.

Bitcoinlive: Well, we have this philosophy of helping the unbanked. We are firm believers of crypto’s potential in lifting millions out of poverty, as it allows for fair redistribution of wealth thus giving everybody an equal chance and opportunity at life (from a purely financial point of view). The power of a trustless, open, neutral, disintermediating peer-to-peer means of payment, and private and secure store of wealth, will revolutionize the world as we know it, and how we do business and interact with each other. Bitcoinlive wants to spread this message, which we like to call the “Crypto Word”. We do this by informing and educating the general public about the possibilities of crypto and the developments in this space. Of course, we try to be balanced and point out the bad stuff too, because there’s a lot of that, but obviously we are biased too since we’re inclined to promote the benefits of crypto most of all.

We also do Giveaways because we believe that is the best way of spreading this message. Giveaways form the heart and soul of our social media platform. Because first of all, you can really help someone by giving them something if they need it, that’s why we tend to especially focus on the unbanked. For them the use case of crypto is the greatest, after all. Secondly, crypto, since it’s a form of money or currency, depending on your definition, is most easily spread and learned, by simply giving people some. This forces the recipient not only to create their own account, but also, after receiving it, to learn how to use, safely store, and properly manage it. And probably, it’ll enthuse them enough to learn more about the crypto space, once they come to recognize its countless benefits. That way they will tell and inform their peers, further growing the network, making crypto stronger and better. It’s sort of a viva voce (word of mouth) strategy. And, lets be honest, receiving free money is usually a nice thing, so it’s a pleasant first encounter with cryptocurrencies.

Correspondingly, there’s also a virtuous feedback loop since it helps us grow our platform too, making us bigger, therefore allowing us to eventually do more and go for bigger Giveaways. But in the end we all benefit because crypto benefits, since we believe crypto is a real improvement on the current financial system. It’s a win-win-win situation, as we like to say. Besides, giving is also a good in itself for if you let go you usually get more in return. Life oftentimes promotes reciprocity like that. So let’s go and make crypto big together!

Blockcast.cc: Thanks gentlemen. I hope we can work together closely in time to come. For those who want to catch Bitcoinlive in action, head down to their channel on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCt3l-pn2ET7R3BWAp6C3XKA
