Title: [Proposal] 10th anniversary BCT mascot contest
Post by: Phinnaeus Gage on October 19, 2019, 03:29:21 PM
Inspired by theymos' 10th anniversary art contest (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5193860.0) thread.

This is my idea with hopes of theymos picking up and advancing the endeavor, doling out merits for top submissions.

I'm not an artist so submitting my entry gleaned from the net ...


Thoughts?

Is that Triumph the Insult Dog?  The pic made me chuckle.

Bitcointalk doesn't need a furry mascot IMO, as that would just attract the wrong kinds of people, if you know what I mean.  I don't even think it needs a mascot at all--sorry, Gleb.  The alpaca is cute but seems almost a non sequitur, just like the dog.

Damn, bro.  I didn't realize you was such a playah.  Hope you come back here to report on how the lunch went.

Here's one that's a bit more bitcoin-centric.

Its Bitcoin from Bitcoin and Friends. Too meta? even for Meta

Ahem. And just what do you mean by that?

It's a meme from the very early days of Bitcoin. You just had to be there, I guess.

Yep, me the Crypto Playah.

Furryphobic much? Speaking of, inspire by https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=45298.0 in the vein that BitcoinTalk is Magic, here's another mascot submission ...

It's a honey badger, surely:

//EDIT:  Put a tiny amount of effort in to it.

It can't be a dog, that's Dogecoin.

The very first result on Google when I search for "Bitcoin animal" seems quite appropriate:

Searching for "Bitcoin bull" gives even better results:

As the art contest is now closed, does that mean this one is too?  I'm a little surprised there haven't been more mascot submissions, considering how popular the other thread was.

I guess the difference is we're too broke to give away BTC. I have a shitload of Counterparty tokens tho. Just let me know if you're interested. You have to pay the transaction fee.
