I'm just curious and some collective brainstorming might help me plan my next move in the chess game of life...I have done some things to help people get on board in the past 3 years and it has basically turned into a full-time volunteer job. My list includes:
Satoshi garden- This started with planting food on a local bike path in my hometown. We had found out that the sheriff was getting $250 a head for homeless people being shipped from the Bay Area to Stanislaus county . So, with a surplus of people with nothing to do nowhere to go humans, I decided to plant food on public land. I started taking BTC donations to buy more soil and plants . As the plants grew and the community grew around it I decided to call it Satoshi Garden thinking people would ask who/what satoshi is? In my mind this would be the green light to give them a friendly but severe ear beating about Blockchains, BTC, and the role technology plays in moving out of the dark age of fiat currency. It became nothing less than that! I hooked people up with wallets and gave away over 3 BTC to the community @ $5 to $10 each. During harvest I would host dinners and discussions about BTC and Blockchain tech.
Crypto Investment Consulting- I had people interested in crypto-investments coming by the garden and many of them decided to invest something larger than the small amount I was giving away to the community and needed advice. I then decided to steer these people in the direction of the ethereum crowd sale. Obviously they are beyond happy at this point! The last 2 weeks they have been buying into The DAO. I can only hope the excitement grows around that.
Signing up Businesses to accept BTC- this was a no brainer for me to help all my business owning friends accept BTC as payment for goods and services.
BTC / Blockchain class- I have so far taught one class at a local community center and many more to come.
I am doing all of this while simultaneously living more frugal than ever off of my growing crypto stash. I live in my car by choice at the moment hoping that the free work I am doing will continue to help people use and better understand blockchain tech and crypto currency. My main income has been gifts from people that I have turned onto crypto and 4 GPU's mining Ethereum at a friend's house. I would clearly like to turn what I do into a paying job raising awareness about blockchains and what they offer. I am setting up a crypto investment group and that should generate some capital for me! but i'd love to hear what other people are doing and any good ideas or insight I could gain!
