Bitcoin Forum

Hello Bitcoiners,

I'm introducing BitcoinWeekly.info (http://BitcoinWeekly.info) as a way to promote Bitcoin to our friends, family, and coworkers on a daily basis.

Simply, I am producing a weekly newsletter for you to print out and post in your home, work place, or anywhere that will highlight recent news in the Bitcoin world. They are just talking points, but delivered in a consistent and stimulating manner. Every time someone walks by your desk, they can be reminded that Bitcoin is an active, growing, and positive topic.

Take every opportunity you can to talk with people about how it works, get them to try a wallet, and engage them. Over time, if we all do this, positive Bitcoin awareness will explode.

If you subscribe to the mailing list (BitcoinWeekly+Subscribe@googlegroups.com (http://BitcoinWeekly+Subscribe@googlegroups.com)), I'll send you a download link once a week so you don't even have to think about it. Just print out the flier and post it somewhere conspicuous. You can personalize it so people in the break room know how to find you, etc.

Also, I'm doing a Bitcoin give-away through coin4.me. Each day, randomly, between 1000 and 1200 PST, new Bitcoins will be made available. The idea is that you encourage someone at your desk, who happens to stop by and inquire about the flier can try their luck at getting some Bitcoins right then and there.

I hope you guys like this idea and help spread it around.

Good luck and Viva La Bitcoin!

Just to clear up any confusion... This newsletter isn't for YOU, the Bitcoiner... I'm confident that you're already knowledgeable with the events going on in the Bitcoin community... This newsletter is so the people around you can see what's in that brain of yours, be able to visualize the dollar value, see for themselves that Bitcoin is a growing and evolving viable financial instrument - simply by their proximity to you.

Some requested updates to the newsletter. Rotated the PDF for easy reading a computer/phone and moved the QR codes around for easier scanning.

I like this concept a lot for the vlog I am currently working on.

Its important to find relevant and fresh topics for discussion when advertising and promoting an opportunity as cutting edge.

I'll definitely be using this and related information as a resource for further vlg discussions.

Excellent!!! there's an RSS feed on the site, I tweet everything as I find it that has the potential to make it in the next week's newsletter and you can subscribe to the email distro to receive a download/link reminder every monday morning.

+10,000 internets

The first 100 people that signup for the Distribution list (https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/bitcoinweekly) will have a chance at wining 5 of my "Ask Me About Bitcoin" tshirts. They are very high quality and you'll get lots of attention wearing it. These are the same tshirts I sell on BitMit.net for $12 (http://bitmit.net/en/trade/i/688-bitcoin-ask-me-tshirt-l).

There is a name collision with the inactive bitcoin weekly magazine at bitcoinweekly.com, which I own.

This could be confusing when I start up the magazine again. How do you want to handle this?

The signup link 2 posts above is broken. Remove the " around it and insert the : after the http lol

Sending my contact info in a PM.

Grrr.. You might have to email to subscribe then.. BitcoinWeekly+subscribe@googlegroups.com

I already subscribed. I fixed the URL myself on the browser bar.

BBcode isn't HTML, there are no quotes around URL
This is the way to do it

Thank you, Good Sir!

Here's this week's edition: http://bitcoinweekly.info/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/2012-19.pdf

Please ask your Bitcoin friends to signup to the distro. 5 free "Ask Me About Bitcoin" tshirts to the first 100 subscribers.

Have your co-workers and friends visit the URL on the flier between 10am and noon PST each day for a chance to win Free Bitcoins.

Now available for download!

Invite your other Bitcoin friends to subscribe to this mailing list. I'll give away a free "Ask Me About Bitcoin" at 20 subscribers (we're at 12 now).

Also, invite your workmates to visit the free Bitcoin giveaway each morning between 10AM and noon for a chance to win.

Love it Tux. Joined the group and will be spreading these! Sweet shirt btw.

Thank you! Report back any interesting encounters you have. I'd like to know how this is working for you guys.

I've turned 3 people at my work on to Bitcoin so far and even paid for my lunch with Bitcoin to one of them)

By next week, he'll be maintaining cz.bitcoinweekly.info as a full site translation for all Czechs!

Great initiative. Just signed up for the weekly poster. Don't send me a T-shirt, I just ordered one from you on BitMit.

thanks for the vote of confidence. I hope this helps you promote bitcoin in your local social circles... and as for the tshirt, it's just a 1 in 20 chance... if you do win (another), you can do anything you like with it... perhaps use it for your own local bitcoin contest with your coworkers... first 5 people to load a wallet app on their phone or something gets a chance to win it from you... you guys can come up with your own fun things to do.

Happy Bitcoin Monday!

And also, due to a domain conflict with BitcoinWeekly.com, I'm rebranding all this under BitcoinInformant.com - perhaps as early as next week.
