SHOW YOUR FACE IN EASYBITZ BITCOIN OUTREACH VIDEO

EasyBitz, a Bitcoin outreach organization based in the heart of New York City, is making a video to introduce retailers to real Bitcoin people.
EasyBitz’s aim here is to show store owners and businesses that the Bitcoin community is not a scary group of hackers and evil-doers. It’s made of regular people like you and I who have normal jobs and hope that Bitcoin can be a common part of life in the future. If businesses can reach out to the Bitcoin community, then the snowball will get rolling as we continue to prove our growth in the normal everyday life.
There are common stereotypes about Bitcoiners that we should aim to break:
1. Bitcoiners are all white.
The sad fact is that the prominent figures like Roger Ver, Jeffrey Tucker, Gavin Andresen and many more are all white Americans. We need to show how Bitcoin has attracted a diverse world of people including students who send Bitcoin back to family overseas, immigrants on the border whose government has barred access to banking, and citizens of nations ravaged by inflation.
2. Bitcoiners are all men.
Again, the prominent figures on the news and media have mainly been men. We need to show that women, children, and men make up the Bitcoin community. Working as a video journalist, I have come in contact with hundreds of people across every demographic who are excited about this technology.
