Bounty: 25,000 bits / ~$250 USD

Introduction: Not everyone who's interested in Bitcoin, is able to buy Bitcoin. I propose the Bitcoin.org website gets updated to include information on how to go about earning Bitcoin.

Explanation: As mentioned above, not everyone has the financial resources to purchase Bitcoin. This can vary from people living in 2nd/3rd world countries to those who live paycheck to paycheck in 1st world countries. Bitcoin should be obtainable by anyone, this also includes the financially less fortunate.

To include the above groups in the financial revolution of Bitcoin, there should be a way (ideally multiple ways) for them to earn Bitcoin. An existing example of this is CoinMall, a globally accessible marketplace on which anyone can sell digital products for cryptocurrencies. Other examples would include similar, globally accessible, earning platforms such as (Bitcoin-powered) Amazon MTurk, Fiverr and the like.

The added benefit of educating and assisting said individuals in earning Bitcoin, is that it will help them in earning a living, providing for their families. The subsequent effect is that people from within their communities will start to get interested in Bitcoin, and incentivizes them to also partake in the Bitcoin ecosystem.

Steps to take:

  • Create a 'earn' page with information and resources
  • Add a link to the 'earn' page to the 'Participate' dropdown menu
  • Add a 'Earn Bitcoin' button on the home page, possibly next to the 'Buy Bitcoin'

Pros:

  • It will help newcomers with little/no money to partake in the ecosystem and possibly earn a living
  • It will educate them, and subsequently they will educate their communities who will grow interested in Bitcoin as well (the Bitcoin virus spreads)
  • The resources they offer may be beneficial to current hodlers, who'll be incentivized to spend a little BTC.
  • World domination. Pinky & The Brain plan has succeeded.

Cons:

  • None
