Title: Our Bitcoin Report from PorcFest 2012
Post by: evoorhees on June 27, 2012, 06:29:03 PM
Just finished up our report of PorcFest 2012, where we set up Bernanke's Bitcoin Exchange and preached the gospel to a thousand gun-toting libertarians in the New Hampshire wilderness. Enjoy!

"one hand holds a dollar and the other a Bitcoin.  take your pick."

The absolute cutest moment of the whole trip:  A little girl (maybe 7 years old?) walked up to us, her father standing nearby, and she asked, with big blue eyes and curly hair, "how many FRN's is one Bitcoin?"

I wish Bernanke was there to see it. Roger gave her a Casascius coin, and her smile was epic.

It sold bitcoin: cascasciousimus (horrible name, btw) coins. I believe Roger refilled it at least 3 times.

I have applied to setup a table at the Ron Paul festival at the Tampa RNC.  I'm waiting on pricing now.  Wanna come down and setup another Bernanke Bitcoin Exchange?

I'll donate what I can to make this happen.  Oh and great work at PorcFest.  It's good to see Bernanke useful for something.
