guys we partnered with ballet to hand out some crypto wallets today to find
out if people will take five dollars in cash or fifteen dollars in Bitcoin thank
you to Tron for sponsoring this video they're actually in the pipeline for
getting approved for the ballet hardware wallets so you guys enjoy this video
hey guys we are here in Las Vegas for litecoins on it and a world crypto con
basically Las Vegas blockchain week and I'm joined here tonight by Jesse of the
ballet wallet I really like what they're doing tell us a little bit about the
ballet wall okay so ballet is the world's first physical wallet and to be
done for the masses for everyday people yeah so what we're gonna be doing
tonight is we're actually gonna be loading some Bitcoin on some of these
wallets and we're gonna be asking people whether they would rather have $15 in
Bitcoin or five dollars in cash what do you think they're gonna say um let's
hope they say in crypto all right let's find out
alright guys we are here with Melissa and I've just got a very simple question
for you right here I have five dollars in cash or I have five dollars in
Bitcoin on a hardware wallet new wallet very easy to use which one of these two
would you like to take I have no idea how to use this one know where we can
show you you'll take you'll take the Bitcoin why would you take the big one
because five dollars five dollars and this could be worth a lot of money it
could be in fact now what do you know about Bitcoin and cryptocurrency my
uncle told me to invest in it so I did what did you invest in XRP oh my gosh
this is the XRP army right here in front of us how is that investment been for
you since you said you made it wasn't too hot so I stopped checking that's
good when did you buy him okay well yeah they say they say they're going to five
hundred and eighty nine dollars a coin wait what it's there there's a group of
people that say that we don't believe that's actually true but oh it's
actually been it's been hovering back around thirty cents okay I bought it
when I was forty something cents well that's not too bad I mean some
people bought it at three dollars oh I feel bad for those people we all do we
all do well thank you so much Melissa for joining us today and we'll show you
how to use this wall here in just second thanks thank you
guys quitting here with blunted up Lucio Las Vegas Boulevard I got a quick
question for you brother if I wanted to offer you $15 in Bitcoin hold that for
me or five dollars in cash what are you gonna take Poli
okay you gonna it's probably gonna which one do you want you can pick right now
you don't want it say you get it pick okay now why'd you put the Bitcoin
have you ever heard of Bitcoin before tonight a little bit a little bit what
do you know give us a little bit rundown you know get it for a future investment
okay so this thing about this this is all gonna be on this card if you lose
this card you lose your Bitcoin but as long as it stays safe
you got your money this little tab right there you peel it off and that's gonna
have your private key if you show that anybody then they can steal your money
but as long as you keep that safe you'll never lose it
thanks Lucy oh man thank you hey guys we are here with Stephanie and Robin and I
got a very simple question I'm gonna ask Stephanie here while Robin probably
laughs at her which is if I said I can give you five dollars in cash or I can
give you fifteen dollars already loaded on a very easy to use Bitcoin wallet
which one would you take okay okay the bitcoin wallet now you have heard of
Bitcoin right yes okay what do you know about Bitcoin cryptocurrency Libre right
now and they've got a bunch of banks backing out of it currently so I'm not
sure if it's gonna go through I think it's gonna give the companies that were
involved that backed out an opportunity to easily do what Facebook is doing and
make proceeds from it without going through another company wow I am I am
flabbergasted right now you know more about kurtter than 99% of people out
there Robin let me ask you this question have you heard of Bitcoin no
cryptocurrency yes and what do you know about I know
that a lot of people invested in Bitcoin and they lost a lot of money I know but
did you know did you know that there's some people that invested that made a
lot of money I didn't know that so Bitcoin yeah is that the
the one company overseas nothing that was it that was that was the main
question I want to ask you the one you didn't know the answer to so we're gonna
we're gonna we're we are gonna give you a we're we're gonna give you this and if
you don't mind we'll give you like a quick demo to show you how it works real
quick but I'm very impressed with your Libra knowledge um and you said you
don't think or do you think it will ever actually be launched well they got the
patents for it already approved I'm pretty sure so they might end up
launching something just not to the scale of what they were expecting
because of the other companies and more are gonna end up pulling back as well I
believe yeah no I think you're I think you're dead-on here I think what you've
said here has been very insightful and I actually agree with you a hundred
percent and I think one thing that this shows guys is that Facebook getting into
cryptocurrency whether you like it or not has been something that has
definitely opened up the world of cryptocurrency to people that may not
have known about it before would you agree with that yes I think so those
that follow the news though yeah awesome well thank you so much for your time
guys we were here on Las Vegas Boulevard I'm with John John I got a question for
you sir if I had to ask you a option between one of the two five dollars in
cash or fifteen dollars in Bitcoin loaded on a hardware wallet what are you
gonna choose sir take the Bitcoin and why Sir mr. Bassman all right okay have
you heard about my nose I'm just gonna give away to bury down here so all right
you heard about Bitcoin ever I've heard about what do you know I know that it
goes up and down and there's worth money but I don't have any of it okay so this
hardware well it's actually really unique and and the sense of it's easier
than anything else with use on the street this little yellow tab when you
get home we're gonna do is just pull it off and that'll be your private key so
don't show anybody that there's already $15 we loaded on this Bitcoin on the
card for it so hold on to it keep it do whatever you want with it but now you're
a Bitcoin owner Wow thanks John so as you guys can see that
was I would say a very interesting result for our social experiment we just
did with the cash and the ballet wallets with $15 with a Bitcoin on those wallets
what what were you the most surprised at I think the numbers I mean we went from
5 to 10% and people taking the Bitcoin to 80% right we had four to five and so
I think that the idea that the tangible asset that it can touch made a huge
difference and I'm excited to see if it's just maybe it was just one time and
maybe we got lucky but if it happens again and again and those numbers go up
then we know we're onto something yeah so a couple things that I thought
was was very interesting number one if you're watching this this video and
you're sitting there saying oh well they edited to make sure that it seemed like
the people were taking the Bitcoin absolutely not
four out of the five people we talked to took the Bitcoin it was more expensive
for me to hand out the Bitcoin than the cash so I don't mind when people say the
cash on on that but in terms of trying to give the money out it's more
expensive to give out the Bitcoin thank you to mal a wallet for donating those
wallets but the actual Bitcoin I mean that came from from us so uh there was
not doctored legitimately people were taking the Bitcoin and it did seem like
I would say the only thing that kind of maybe skew the results is it seemed like
that out of the people that we talked to I think there was a high
knowledge of cryptocurrency or investment with those people than just
an average of random five people we've taken anywhere else yeah we had the girl
that had a thousand dollars in XRP and that's never happened with anybody else
so that's why I kind of said if we do it a couple more times and see those same
high percentages then we'll know we've got something real as opposed to just a
little micro you know whatever result but uh I think I'm gonna we're gonna be
getting a lot better results for the future just because of how easy it was
for people to say yes you know that tangible wallet was nice to take home
well if you guys remember we the first one of these videos we did Mary was in
that video and she was the last person we interviewed and one of the things
that she said was we said you know why do you want to take the cash inside the
Bitcoin she said she said then I love the cash I love to spread it out and
feel it I love the feel of cash and there really is something to having cash
there they're really there there really is something to having something
physical in your hand so I do think that there's something on to that the one
other thing I really want to point out about this video was the fact that the
one girl Stephanie she knew about cryptocurrency because of the current
events surrounding Facebook and libras yeah yeah that was awesome the idea that
Facebook's not gonna lead to mass adoptions just isn't real because the
mass awareness that came from it and I mean you can even say China was was
spurred by Mark Zuckerberg tech Simoni I mean he is a reason why they might have
led the way in their new changes so I'm excited for them more companies to come
out and try to take a positive stance for the space yeah so you guys make sure
you check out we're gonna do centralized decentralized Americans who are here
pretty soon going to college is talking about blockchain and things like that
gonna be doing some more Street videos for you definitely interesting results
look forward to hopefully seeing more improvement in adoption and advancement
of the space so really look forward to it thanks guys
