info: According to Yifu there's no Mic at wall street, all talks and announcements are repeated in segments by the people who are around forming a human mic, take this into consideration; in addition it can not be too long, I feel under 5 sentences is pretty good.



p.s.



there's no mic because cops took it and they aren't allowing the use of a sound amplifying device, so don't bother suggesting. we need a short announcement about bitcoin in the context of #operationbitcoin and #occupywallstreet so it can be presented at the general assembly mic check as soon as possible.info: According to Yifu there's no Mic at wall street, all talks and announcements are repeated in segments by the people who are around forming a human mic, take this into consideration; in addition it can not be too long, I feel under 5 sentences is pretty good.p.s.there's no mic because cops took it and they aren't allowing the use of a sound amplifying device, so don't bother suggesting.

Is this supposed to be a quick "elevator pitch" to commoners there, or a specific announcement of something specific? I'm happy to prepare something but need more details on the purpose, intended target, and any relevant background info.

I think it can be both, It is open mic to the general commoners so a "elevator pitch" type isn't exactly off, but I feel we should still make a general announcement about how bitcoin's role is in #occupywallstreet since they have similar goals.





draft notes Yifu gave me is something like.



"Good news everybody, I have free Bitcoins for you!" - attention grabber

"Bitcoin is ... decentralized, peer to peer crypto-currency" - what bitcoin is

... - why bitcoin is awesome

notes and good lines -

"There's already 3 locations in NYC that accepts bitcoin as a form of payment"

"30+ location world wide."

"Already can trade across 17 different other currencies"

"person to person transfer, low fees"

"Bitcoin is the medium, and medium is the revolution, bitcoin is the revolution" I think it can be both, It is open mic to the general commoners so a "elevator pitch" type isn't exactly off, but I feel we should still make a general announcement about how bitcoin's role is in #occupywallstreet since they have similar goals.draft notes Yifu gave me is something like."Good news everybody, I have free Bitcoins for you!" - attention grabber"Bitcoin is ... decentralized, peer to peer crypto-currency" - what bitcoin is... - why bitcoin is awesomenotes and good lines -"There's already 3 locations in NYC that accepts bitcoin as a form of payment""30+ location world wide.""Already can trade across 17 different other currencies""person to person transfer, low fees""Bitcoin is the medium, and medium is the revolution, bitcoin is the revolution"

To those currently occupying Wall St. - Please Listen Up



You're upset with the banks, yet you continue to bank with them.



You're upset with the Federal Reserve, yet you continue to use its fiat money.



You're upset with Wall St., yet you subsidize and support them every day.



The slave who merely grumbles while he endures his enslavement does not advance his own freedom. The banks may have built the cage, but you have locked yourself inside.



There is an alternative to this fraudulent scheme that imprisons you - it's called Bitcoin



It's a decentralized monetary system - no person, corporation, nor government can control it. It is without borders, agenda, or undue influence.



If you care to end the lecherous system that has grown fat off the toils of society, we invite you to come over and discuss.

Bitcoin will end the banks, if you care to try it.

I like evoorhees' bit, but it may not work very well in the format.



Why not just announce that Bitcoin is a money not controlled by large financial and government interests, and anyone who wishes to learn more about it should meet at X place and Y time?

Lesson #1 of PR: know your audience.



The protesters are in the mood for high rhetoric and impact - the statement to them needs to be such. Given the demographic and tenor of the audience, I tried to imagine what Che Guevara would say, if he knew what he was talking about.

I don't agree with Michael Moore all the time but go find him and convince him to use bitcoins. Use his celebrity power so people will listen. I don't agree with Michael Moore all the time but go find him and convince him to use bitcoins. Use his celebrity power so people will listen.
