Pretty cool. I've done my share of adbusting and Bitcoin taggings. But this here is a another level compared to my small ish. BTW, if you didn't know, Kristov Atlas is a pretty active member in the Bitcoin community. Mostly underground-darksend related stuff, you will find him on YouTube.

I like the initiative but I don't know if I would call it graffiti to be honest (in the sense that we are used to).
It looks more like protesting against the banks and government.

Altough his pieces are not "artsy", so to speak (they're not much more than some tags, mainly), I think this is good to raise awareness of what's up... I hope he keeps it up, and I hope he starts doing prettier pieces :)

...

Office Depot and similar stores sell rubber stamps that allow you to stamp ink messages on almost anything.

One way to spread the message might be to stamp "BITCOIN!" on US FRNs. *



* Ahh, it might be a tad illegal to "deface" money though...

bitcoin is already associated with money laundering, scams, drugs, terrorist funding...

don't associate it with graffiti as well, please.

i think exactly the same, those initiatives are ALWAYS welcome, but those graffiti looks like a protesting.

btw who know, maybe he will improve his graffitis with time to look more  cool :P

That's exactly the image I drew in my mind.
Yeah... Well... I guess we have to wait a bit longer....

Nice idea though  ;)

Awesome!
All types of exposure that bitcoin can get is a good thing in my opinion.
There's no such thing as bad publicity.
Stuff like this whilst miniscule is always good especially as bitcoin is still in it's infancy.
Well done to the artist, good work.
Pretty cool that he's a member here (if true).

Nice saying, but it's bullshit.  How many examples of bad publicity being bad would you like?

There's nothing cool about graffiti unless you have the wall owner's permission.  Otherwise you're an asshole.  It would be like if I came into your house and pissed on all of your furniture to mark my territory.

Some of them might be difficult for non bitcoiners to understand. Good initiative though, we need more of this stuff! Especially high on buildings!

Yeah I don't believe n the all publicity is good catchphrase, but then again I discovered BTC thanks to all the negative press in the mainstream TV news.

Me too. To be honest I am disappointed, and it is not Bitcoin Graffiti it is just inscription, a words. While I can generally agree with the the message I think the form of it is just bad. It is not art for sure.
