So here are another two sats of ideas then :
1. Looking at the normal businesses located in the regions where your audience is concentrated (normal biz like dentists, flower shops, accountants, retail shops, etc) that accept bitcoin and getting ads/sponsorships from them (after some due diligence on reviews, etc)?
2. Finding sponsors that are travel-related (esims, insurance, luggage, clothes, hotels, restaurants, medical tourism, birth tourism, passport-getting services, foreign dating agencies, sea sports, smaller cruises, relocation services, etc). Any of the biz in those categories that accept bitcoin.
3. Or starting one of those businesses with partners?
4. Doing a sponsored deep-dive in the bitcoin adoption process for a big company? Finding a partnered service (exchange or like bitwage, etc) that is about to onboard a new big client (business) and doing a deep-dive on how the process goes for them? From memory, I think Tim Ferriss used to have a show where he would do turn-arounds in businesses.
About getting an exchange as a sponsor : the way I feel about it, it's more a question of privacy. I prefer a service that offers privacy even if it also offers shitcoins on top of bitcoin, rather than a bitcoin-only exchange which doesn't offer privacy options.
For example, from memory, in Canada :
- bullbitcoin used to offer a no-kyc option going through Canada Post to buy cash vouchers to buy bitcoin. That's not possible anymore because Canada Post doesn't allow the private option anymore.
- However, BitcoinWell offers a private option with its ATMs to buy cash vouchers with only an email (any email), or without an email (but more fees).
- Instacoin ATMs also don't ask for phone numbers, name, etc.
Privacy is the most important. I don't know what options we still have in Europe with the MiCA rules (maybe Switzerland?), or in the US (maybe it's better to cross the border into the "51st State" and buy sats there).
Thank you for doing what you do!
