Title: How about a "Bitcoin giveaway day"? Post by: biqs4zi4f on August 04, 2012, 04:17:59 AM Everybody should post to his social network of choice that he will give away 1 Bitcoin divided among any of his friends who ask for it - to encourage people to figure out what Bitcoin is.
I suggest we do this the next Friday, August 10. Spread the word please. Title: Re: How about a "Bitcoin giveaway day"? Post by: PinkBatman on August 04, 2012, 04:44:36 AM Wouldn't the anniversary of the genesis block be more fitting?

If people can get bitcoins for free, it won't help convincing them that it's money. Title: Re: How about a "Bitcoin giveaway day"?

Bitcoin have a value, why should we give them away for free? If people want them they should pay for them. If you give away them for free then people will think they are worthless.

Title: Re: How about a "Bitcoin giveaway day"? Post by: kangasbros on August 05, 2012, 01:24:29 PM I agree, giving away bitcoins doesn't seem to be a very good strategy. I recently implemented a new coupon feature to easywallet.org, and at a party gave away lots of bitcoin coupons to my non-bitcoin-friends. It seems that only one or two actually redeemed those coupons. One coupon was 0.3 BTC, maybe the amount was too little.
