I write text that sells...

When you've got something great, you still need people to see it your way. You need people to realize that your product is just what they need.

How do you do that? Put it in language that people understand... instantly.

That's where I come in.

Let's face it. The Internet may have been meant for porn, but it has a lot more text. The average Internet user today reads the equivalent of War and Peace every other day... just surfing blogs.

Everyone knows how professional writing reads. Whether or not your viewers do it consciously, they recognize that if someone's put in the trouble to write good copy... they're a lot more likely to be in the business for the long haul. Not just in it to rip them off.

Now, I'm the first to admit that I'm new to Bitcoin. If I'm doing something horribly wrong in this ad, please get in touch. This is me jumping in with both feet. Why?

Some people buy Bitcoins to hoard them, or buy things with them. Some people mine them to do the same. I figure that well, if someone can earn Bitcoins by doing what they're good at, the Bitcoin economy is ready for the big time. This is my personal experiment.

I'll write you some killer copy. Maybe you have an idea that you want to see roaring across the Internet. Maybe you have a brand new product, and you think people will want it with all their hearts... once they learn a little bit about it. You might even be working on an amazing new website... but if it takes people minutes or hours to "get it," they'll just click away.

If you want to grab your visitors by the eyeballs so they see the magic of your world, I can do that. If you just want some great content to flesh things out, I can do that too. Just get in touch: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=pm;sa=send;u=81711

Yes, I'd love to provide (suitably anonymized) samples  of work that I've done for other clients... people who've discovered what well-written text can do for their ventures. Let me do the same thing for you!

Just send me a PM: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=pm;sa=send;u=81711

Any plans to improve the 'prediction market' experience? While just posting answers and having the original submitter reward the right one works, it seems like a bit of a hack.

It is vaguely amusing that a thread about newbie restrictions has 198 pages of low-content posts by people trying to drive up their post counts. Maybe we can drive it up to an even 200?

If you mean mango lassis like whatever you can buy at Wal Mart, my understanding is sales of those have dropped through the floor. Bitcoin prices are high because that's what they do (ask Satoshi, I'm no math guy).

As for the original premise of this thread -- I so called this.

According to Goldman Sachs:http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2013-02-19/goldman-explains-market-best-not-look-gift-horse-mouth

WallStreetOasis has three theories: http://www.wallstreetoasis.com/blog/djia-new-cycle-highs-wait-what-my-theories-on-the-current-market

In other words, what we're seeing now are The System's levers being pushed to "11" to keep it afloat... My theory? It's an opportunity for those people who 'get it' to get out while the getting's good (and equity prices are high).

Bitcoin is an electronic gold standard...


This.

Only Bitcoin avoids the key failings that brought down Napster. So Bitcoin is already a lot closer to BitTorrent -- PayPal, Liberty Reserve, Pecunix were all more like Napster than Bitcoin.

None of those suffered any major attacks, so Bitcoin hasn't had that learning experience. If somebody goes after Bitcoin, whatever evolves out of it may inspire a new version of BitTorrent (or whatever) unlike anything we've ever seen, as well.
