Title: Louis CK Accepts Bitcoin for New Show “Horace and Pete”

Loucis [sp] CK Accepts Bitcoin for New Show “Horace and Pete” (http://www.newsbtc.com/2016/01/31/333/)

Who doesn't love Louis C.K.?

Quote
C.K officially began to accept bitcoin payments since August of last year, after C.K and his team filmed his comedy show performed at Madison Square Garden. The team of C.K integrated BitPay onto their online shop, where they sold audio-only show with a unique marketing strategy. Instead of selling the show with a fixed price range, Louis C.K allowed his fans purchase the video at any price they want, with the minimum payment being US$1.

“We have the price set to 5 dollars but you can lower it to 1 dollar or raise it to 85. that’s the maximum, because beyond that, I don’t want your crazy money,” said C.K in August.

Oh Louis the BAUS, this guy isn't just funny hes officially awesome now... when enough people with serious cultural clout accept bitcoin, people will take notice.  I'd say this is a big step in the fight for bitcoin adoption, good work Louis!

I also wanna know what a ticket cost if you pay with the bitcoin, maybe it sound stupid but maybe there is some discount because your are paying with the bitcoin.
Maybe it will be sold on a online ticket shop or something, I think we will hear it fast from someone.

He actually started accepting bitcoin last year on his website as someone else mentioned, so he's been a long-time supporter.

I saw an article that said he doesn't use Ticketmaster and his tickets were a flat $45.  Not sure if that's still the case though.

Its pretty good he does that but its also good for the bitcoin community because more people get attracted by the bitcoin by such things like he did.
I think he did a good job by introducing this payment method for his new show.

It's very nice to see bitcoin getting accepted for the Shows. In recent times, Hollywood is planning to accept bitcoin for movie tickets and many people are planning to getting paid in bitcoins. These are some good symptoms bitcoin getting more popularity among celebrities that will would accelerate with coins growth in rocket's speed.

Loving Louis CK they way he always brings new things from his shows is amazing, I think its a good thing he accept the bitcoin for his new show, I hope people will like into this news and use the bitcoin as a payment method.
Some people will be attracted because of him because they want to know what the bitcoin is and what kind if payment it is.
Although there will also be some haters because of the bad name the bitcoin has from the media.

Louis c.k is doing a good job by doing this, I think he is one of the first celebrity  that let people pay with the bitcoin, I hope more artist will follow due some ticket website or something.
I think that would be pretty sweet if you ask me and also pretty profitable I think a lot of people will like it.

I think its cool he is accepting it and also he is making a good step towards people to get the bitcoin more popular, also the fact that a famous person does it say already enough about the bitcoin these days, the bitcoin  is getting bigger everyday.

Likewise if often few companies show interest in bitcoin soon without much promotion Bitcoin will reach the common people. Expect a large adoption of bitcoin with the support from these fashion field.
