"Make the Market" March

[m52go]

The items detailed below are part of a larger effort to boost liquidity in March with successively larger goals every week until Bitcoin 2020.

Here I detail the content effort.

Background

Goal is to have videos/articles/guides for the week (4 bullets, 4 days) put out at once on Monday of each week. Then we can spend the rest of the week encouraging users to read, take part, and ask questions as they apply it toward the goal of making offers and trading.

Then on each Thursday we should have a live call as a venue for users to ask questions in real-time, provide updates on liquidity progress, discuss plans for Bitcoin 2020, etc...hopefully liquidity will be high enough to celebrate and get people excited to do even better the following week.

Items below are designed to be most pertinent for onboarding first-time users, as well as filling in gaps of existing users. Feel free to suggest changes. Week 1 content may not have much wiggle room as efforts to create it are either done or already underway, but other weeks are fair game.
