Title: Bacon Barter - Anybody Offer To Trade Bitcoins?
Post by: Stephen Gornick on September 18, 2012, 11:13:32 AM
Looks like Josh Sankey took a page out of @TheRealPlato's book (https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/BitcoinRoadTrip) and is making his way from NYC to LA with no cash, simply bartering something that he feels strongly about.   In Plato's case the barter currency was Bitcoin.  In Josh's case it is ...  bacon!  Seriously ... bricks of bacon.

Except this Josh dude has thousands of them to trade!  Oscar Mayer.has backed his trip.

Though I didn't yet see in his list of requests any Bitcoin, that doesn't mean he's not looking to do a trade!

He's almost halfway across the country, but hopefully someone enroute will get a trade in!

It won't be the first bitcoin to bacon barter, as that happened previously at least once, at PorcFest (http://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=89714.msg1000117#msg1000117) a couple months ago:

And this is for real bacon, not the code word <whisper>bacon (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=86276.msg949648#msg949648)</whisper> discussed previously.

But it would be neat to see a trade like this made.
