Haha! Many? I doubt I've 10 in total.
Because, I'm gonna travel absolutely on Bitcoin and my plan is that I'll reveal my identity and then be everywhere for initial funding to later expenses.
You know the bike and other things are gonna cost at least 0.2 BTC.

Why don't you use your current bike initially? I'm sure you might have given it a ๐Ÿ’ญ?

Then you better start saving money for it ๐Ÿ‘€
I donโ€™t think you should rely on zaps for funding your journey. Iโ€™m sure even @JoeNakamoto is paying for a lot out of his own pocket. Even with his reach he might not be profitable and need other income sources.
But maybe @JoeNakamoto can enlighten us and share some advice?

I have 4 semi permanent sponsors and still need more.
Zaps pays about $20 to $200 a month. Ie - nothing.
If btc is above 75k EOY I might make money.
If not i need to revisit everything. Currently im funding with my small stack saved over the last epoch.
Sorry for the reality check but journalism / making content and making money is a labour of love.

You do great work Joe. Keep at it you will have a breakthrough. Keep posting your videos on SN and I will keep zapping them and encouraging other stackers to do so too.
reply
I too. I have been watching his videos and following for a while now. My nothing analysis say that his hard work isn't paying him off. He only have a few thousand subs on YT and only his latest video could reach 25k+ views. He really needs some more subs and market himself better. His content is best but I think he just couldn't market himself in a better way. I see a lot of bogus Bitcoin Youtubers from India have subs in 100k to millions. He surely deserves much more than what he's achieved till now
reply
Unfortunately the bogus YouTubers are often talking about price and trading and preying on peopleโ€™s desire to get rich. Meanwhile Joe is telling on the ground bitcoin stories. I think Joe just needs to catch on with the right sponsors who can fund a salary for him and travel/production cost of videos and then the zaps he gets will just be a bonus. Would be great if he could live off zaps but just not enough people participating in the v4v model yet.
reply
You're absolutely right. I think we Stackers should take it as a responsibility to make Joe popular.
Can we not do something?

reply
Yes, we can surely do that. In fact, we do it.
But, I'm ๐Ÿฆœ about getting him some new subs. I've subscribed him on every device in my home. Also recommended to a few people, that's what I'm saying.
Zap and comment on his posts so they rise in the rankings and he will get some sats and rewards and if he spends a bit of time engaging on SN his value rank will go up.

Ahh! I'm talking about his YouTube channel.
Thanks for the reply. I loved your recent Video from Britain. It really got going. Superb!
I've a few doubts and questions which only you can answer.
Like I see you've a website also apart from videos, do you do everything by yourself or you've a little team. Maybe someone for editing.

I hired an editor this year! He's awesome. Then I also have random freelance people I work with. My editor is my biggest expense but he's also a friend and a bitcoiner. I also hire videographers randomly but they're expensive

Thank you very much.

I've been saving for quite some time and I do have some other means/resources to fund it but still, I think it'd be better if I can get partly or fully funded for the journey. My aim is to get at least 50% on a daily basis. Say, during the travel I have a day when my total spending is 100k Sats, I'm eying to stack at least 50k sats that day.

I think you should start by travelling within India. It's already so big and you haven't travelled more than a few locations.๐Ÿ˜‰
