Ok, lets start from the beginning :) I hope, that I do not have to explain to you who Andreas Antonopoulos is - but in case you do not know, he is very well known Bitcoin advocate, who visited few dozens of countries to give talks which explains Bitcoin and why Bitcoin and Blockchain are so important!
What contribution did I make?
Well, over a year ago I had this idea, to not only gather all videos of Andreas in one place (on account @andreas-m-videos), but basically help educate people and build awareness about blockchain technology. Andreas is my idol. He was the inspiration to many of my talks, and as well he was always a great source of knowledge.
I wanted to help him spread the knowledge, which he captured so greatly in his talks. Videos from his youtube channel has been already listened by millions of people around the world. What difference can I make?
What number can I add to this views counter? Well... instead of adding, I started to thinking how this can be multiplied :)
Translations!
I decided to start a project, with simple goal:
to the most popular languages of the world!
Plan (already in progress)
- Do not translate subtitles to his videos alone - I can only speak Polish and English
- Find skilled professional translators, which would like participate in such project in long term
- Try first with one language, to test the whole process
3.1. I decided to start with Polish translations, because I was able to review on my own, publish them and submit to Andreas, knowing that they are good. - Use earned STEEM and SBD, to pay for next professional translations
- Find more people, which would like to cooperate with me, to review translated subtitles of his videos to more languages! :)
- If there are professional translators among Steemians, maybe even start to cooperate with them, paying them for their translations, instead paying some private company
So far I managed translations of 3 videos to Polish and more are coming soon:
- Bitcoin for Beginners
- Worse than Useless - Financial Surveillance
- Decentralized Truth
- Introduction to Bitcoin - coming soon
Next step? You!
I am looking for people, which would like to work with me, which would be responsible for reviewing and correcting newly translated subtitles in Spanish, French, Chinese, etc.
Right now I am looking for volunteers, which like me, would like to work pro publico bono on this project.
I am not sure, whether working on this project for free is 100% sustainable - even reviewing translated subtitles, writing posts about it to post to Utopian, promoting such materials outside of Steem - this all takes me around 3 hours per video.
At the beginning, I wasn't sure, whether I would be able to even cover the cost of translations which I have paid for in advance. There is a possibility, that if posts about those translations will earn a lot, that there will be a small reward for all people involved as well.
Possible outcomes
First of all, those translated videos have great value for everyone involved in crypto-space. But the great thing is... that doing something cool, we can show to the people, that Steem community can do awesome things, not only for Steem, but for all people!
Whenever I've published an information that Steem community helped translate videos of Andreas, a reaction of people are always the same:
In my opinion, this might be a good way to create great relationship between Bitcoin community and Steem community :)
I would not lie, that one of my goals is to help Andreas change his mind about Steem. This is what he currently things about it:
At the beginning he was an advocate of Bitcoin, after a while Ethereum also got his interest (he is writing a book about Ethereum right now).
Currently thanks to tweet above, we already know, that Andreas knows about us! Now we should just prove how effective and extremely useful we can be for him and for all people which would like to learn more about Bitcoin and other blockchain technologies
I do not see the reason, why because of this project, he would not be able to change a mind about the usefulness of Steem. Maybe he will even join Steem, to say thank you for those translations :)
From that video it seems like maybe Andreas didn't know too much about STEEM, as he didn't go into any specifics. I hope you can inform him and change his mind!
Now that would be nice!
Now that is a project worth doing, Andreas Antonopoulos explains cryptocurrency in a way that helps people new to the space understand. Now to get him on Steemit!
That is fantastic.
Yup, it really is, so worth it.
@nikko2192
Guys i just bumped into this account and it was created in December.
Please guys confirm to me and the Steemit Community that it is Andreas himself or this is an impersonator(everything is about Andreas;books and videos on this account)
The account is here guys @aantonopoulos
This is the latest post below and its a dtube video of Andreas himself,check out!
https://steemit.com/steem/@aantonopoulos/8dyuazkp
I will be waiting for your confirmation guys!.
No it's not him I think (see first post):
but I asked him on Twitter
Thanks for the reply
This other account looks more real: https://steemit.com/@aantonop
What a great project. Unfortunately I do not speak other languages. I do wish you luck though!!
WOW! Nice!!
That's crazy. I can't imagine one of my idols responding to one of my tweets
Great, indeed I was thinking to go beyond Steem too!
This fall I already proposed to make subtitles to our hangouts and @chuckyfucky translated some of them to Spanish. So I created a how to on how to let YouTube transcribe videos automagically which can be translated much easier! There's a whole history of it on my blog with technical help.
@alexpmorris also wrote a program to merge subtitles from mutliple speakers which we recorded in multitrack!
NB: I upvote myself just for visibility...
Hey @chuckyfucky and @alexpmorris, if you ever need any help with Spanish translations, I'd love to contribute
It's nice to see you helping to share Andreas's work he is one of the best minds in this space for explaining tech I'm also surprised that he is not on steemit, but then it's not all about the money :)
NB: I tacked myself onto your post for visibility ;)
unless @nutela started working on another project I don't know about, it's not for Andreas' work, but for the Beyond BitCoin Show, hosted by @officialfuzzy which actually focuses on bringing awareness to the crypto community as to the tremendous advantages offered by graphene-related chains such as STEEM, BitShares, and the upcoming EOS platform as well!
Feel free to come by and check it out, next episode is tonight at 8pm EST!
Hehe I meant going beyond our Steem community to tell the world we are the first Social netWork where you can earn a living by helping others!
Well then double thumbs up for you then :D as I'm currently travelling the world telling everyone I meet about steemit too
Wow! I'm not so keen on Steem yet because of the distribution and #SMT copycat but I love #BitShares, that's my new bank. And I'd love to see shops or farmer's markets use bitUSD, bitEur, bitCNY currencies! I believe Alipay will use bitCNY
I would lo-lo-love to help out with the Spanish translation! Andreas got me into this new world and I'd love to contribute anyway I can, I teach languages and translate for a living.
You are a lucky guy dude!
I have never heard of him .... but i'm new to the space.
Good job man! I look up to people that are promoting Steemit.
This is truly helping the community. And Andreas is one of the best if not the best educator when it comes to Bitcoin and the blockchain
AA is a great guy! I love listening to him. So smart...
I couldn't agree more to everything you're saying, but I'm still new to bitcoin community and Steemit community. Well I hope to be of more help as time goes on
👍👍
@noicy , I think he we can't do anything at this time , he is really convinced that time will tell and i guess he is right ,only time will tell the community had made it this far without any ext-anal influence we ought to give steemit time to grow naturally then everything else fall in place.
Smart.everyone will learn.thanks for sharing.keep it up.
Congrats noisy! Proud of u bro :D

I am ready to work with you, and lets involve this idea of yours to the up most height.
Good job friend I really appreciate the fact how you are promoting steem keep the good work stay blessed!
Cheers!!
This is awesome! I have been following Andreas for a while and it would be cool if he got on this platform! Imagine having videos and blog posts coming from him everyday, would be great information, as well as updated information from a popular figure in this space.
Who is Andrea? I am a new member on steemit how do i make money and impact lives here
Thank you for this, Yes Andreas's content is spread out and not easy to find. I am a massive fan of his as well. Always has great great information. I will follow you now.
post a very nice .. job is perfect, good for you
Increible, muy bueno.
Nice...😙
Great post , I will watch some videos from Andreas Antonopoulos , I didn´t knew him but I would love to learn more about blockchain so thanks for the tip!
If you have more tips were I can learn more about it , please let me know
He knows loads about Bitcoin, I've watched a few of his videos.
Hello @noisy I am from Mexico I can review your translations in spanish
I will contact you in few days :) Where I can reach you? Steemit.chat, discord?
As you prefer, I have both :)
Very kind!
I did a small upvote to help your effort. Good initiative.
hi. I meant going beyond our Steem community to tell the world we are the first best Social net Work where you can earn a living by helping others.how can i do it??
Try Twitter and YouTube.
You doing an incredible help to the community, I would also like to pitch in into your project. Thankxx.
I hope you do, the more translations, the better.
lets try that suggestion wish u all luck
Follow & upvoted done @noisy
You're an awesome guy. 3 hours per video takes a lot of effort and of course time so I will have to see but I could probably bring value by translating andreas' videos in Italian. I'm italian and english mother tongue.
Really depends on if you need the translation for a specific time or if I could do it on my spare time.
Hit me up on Twitter so we can talk easier. My user name there is lop_steve
That's a great idea!
Andreas videos are an awesome source of information for newcomers. I will be happy to help in spanish.
Congarat power
Good job :)
Coś mału tych wyświetleń. Na kanale co mi zdjęli miałem jakoś z 6~7 mln views
Andreas ma trochę cięższy content ;) Nie każdy jest też jego odbiorcą. Faktem jest jednak to, że jest on guru dla wielu ludzi z przestrzeni crypto, które potem biorą sprawę w swoje ręce i szerzą tę wiedzę dalej.
Więc można by powiedzieć, że na jego licznik można by policzyć odsłony wszystkich innych osób, które inspirował - a to już idzie w setki milionów - tego jestem pewien :)
On ma ciężki? Przecież to mnie przywitały flagi :P
Nie no tak serio to po prostu zaskoczyło mnie, że 100k i stosunkowo mało wyświetleń, ale widzę dlaczego:
Ale ogólnie facet dobrze mówi i im więcej dobrych twórców na steemit/DTube itp, tym lepiej co nie cieszy :)
Im więcej twórców tutaj, a mniej tam, tym lepiej i mimo uciętych zasięgów zrobię co mogę żeby była właśnie taka tendencja.
DTube > YouT.. SafeSpaceTube
Powiem tak - facet zrobił tyle dla rozwoju społeczności crypto, że ostatnio jak się dowiedzieli, że na skutek różnych wydarzeń Andreasowi nie powodzi się najlepiej.... to wysłali mu ponad 1.5 mln dollarów ;)
nice post...its helpfull for us..thanks sir
Wow! Finally he noticed ... :)
YESSSS this amazing! Steemit really getting big now and days, it deserves to be thats for sure!
Very good info friends, honest you make a very good content, can you visit my blog
fine
Do you think that we can gain enough impact, to discuss with Andreas about opening the source of "Internet of Money"? If it was open-sourced, I would be brave enough to take care of open polish translation.
hard to say... but for sure, he should be able to at least listen what people which helps him have to say :)
If there will be something to about it - count me in.
Nice one dude! Gracje!
Looks like you are working hard, and moving to the right direction, I like Andreas a lot! he is very profesional and technical when it comes to explaining Blockchain and Bitcoin specifics.
Wao congrat
Well-done! You took a lot of initiative with this project. I wish you success in the future!
To follow him has also made you to be farmours l have liked his videos and to me he is the great
yep @noisy brilliant ;)
Your very intelligent, very interesting post. I dont know much about crypto but Im learning lol.. slowly. If you get time take a look at my post, let me know what you think. @diljeetdil thanks x
Z takimi znajomosciami trzeba zaprosic teraz Andreasa do polski. Jeden z tych ktorzy maja w tym wszystkim okreslony cel.
I know polish;german;english;italian fluent and understand spanish.
So if you want me to translate c:
...Atque latina...Scio linguam latinam...
