Title: [PPC] New York Times Interview Post by: PeercoinEnthusiast on November 21, 2013, 10:43:00 PM Peercoin just interviewed by The New York Times. As coins such as Litecoin and Peercoin start breaking into more mainstream news, we hope it adds additional exposure to all projects. As soon as the article is printed, we'll update this thread.
** Update ** http://dealbook.nytimes.com/2013/11/24/in-bitcoins-orbit-rival-virtual-currencies-vie-for-acceptance/?_r=0 Title: Re: [PPC] New York Times Interview Post by: muto on November 21, 2013, 11:08:02 PM Great news. Is this a Peercoin-only article or is it about cryptocurrencys in general?
Whatever, again great work! Keep it up :) Title: Re: [PPC] New York Times Interview Post by: PeercoinEnthusiast on November 21, 2013, 11:11:12 PM Also quite a bit of Primecoin covered as well! Other coins will be mentioned (they even asked us about them),however, the focus is on the top tier. When I say top tier, I mean market cap, by no means trying to insult any other coin.
Title: Re: [PPC] New York Times Interview Post by: muto on November 21, 2013, 11:18:13 PM Thanks for the quick answer. Sounds good.
While itīs really nice to get mentioned at forbes for example, I was disappointed about the "article" there. But when you made the interview and it is really focused on PPC/XPM I hope for a good article and looking forward to it. Title: Re: [PPC] New York Times Interview Post by: bitcoinpsftp on November 21, 2013, 11:18:58 PM Do all these other coins make anybody else nervous? Like if the market gets saturated by too many coins, people may lose trust in bitcoin (since a new coin with same features can pop up every 2 weeks). Id still prefer it if no other crypto currencies existed, I think bitcoin would rise faster.

But when you made the interview and it is really focused on PPC/XPM I hope for a good article and looking forward to it. I hear ya. The first step is being even acknowledged that we all exist outside of the crypto community. Once we start appearing in more publications, we'll have more opportunities to craft our message. I talked to Sunny about this a few hours ago, putting together a strategy this weekend.

Id still prefer it if no other crypto currencies existed, I think bitcoin would rise faster. Top Tier: Visa/Mastercard/Discover/Amex Second Tier: Quite a few other lesser knowns I believe the market will shake it out into 3 tiers: - Top - Functional - Experimental/Hobby Title: Re: [PPC] New York Times Interview Post by: mhps on November 21, 2013, 11:58:19 PM Do all these other coins make anybody else nervous?

Title: Re: [PPC] New York Times Interview Post by: jaakkop on November 22, 2013, 08:54:10 AM Sweet :)
Makes me want to buy some more PPC Title: Re: [PPC] New York Times Interview Post by: FuzzyBear on November 22, 2013, 11:22:53 AM Yeah this is awesome news and a reflection of all the hard work the community members have put in so well done to all those involved... lets hope they give us the same boost as we are seeing on the exchanges today :)
Fuzzybear Title: Re: [PPC] New York Times Interview Post by: PeercoinEnthusiast on November 22, 2013, 11:50:06 AM The NYT reporter asked for a list of Peercoin forum members to also interview briefly this afternoon. I sent a list of 5 and look forward to seeing their comments next week. :)
Title: Re: [PPC] New York Times Interview Post by: tacotime on November 22, 2013, 01:28:26 PM I wish he'd consider interviewing some people here, there are a few things I would say about it.
If you're out there NYT, you can reach me at dev.mc2@gmail.com Title: Re: [PPC] New York Times Interview Post by: satriani on November 22, 2013, 01:29:46 PM did you say something about PrimeCoin in this article ?
Title: Re: [PPC] New York Times Interview Post by: PeercoinEnthusiast on November 22, 2013, 01:35:06 PM did you say something about PrimeCoin in this article ? Yes, Sunny talked about Prime as well. Title: Re: [PPC] New York Times Interview Post by: PeercoinEnthusiast on November 24, 2013, 05:29:49 PM ** update **
We asked about when the print version will hit the press: "Hey John I'm hoping it will be out tmrw and on the web later today." NYT (Nathaniel Popper) 10:04am est We obviously can't control when they print it, that's the update I received 2 hrs ago. Title: Re: [PPC] New York Times Interview Post by: teddyb797 on November 24, 2013, 07:04:59 PM wow thats awesome
Title: Re: [PPC] New York Times Interview Post by: usahero on November 24, 2013, 08:17:13 PM PPC at 0.003 soon.
Trololo :D Title: Re: [PPC] New York Times Interview Post by: Lauda on November 24, 2013, 08:33:41 PM Peercoin just interviewed by The New York Times. You do realize that you don't know what mainstream means?Most people don't know about either, or just don't care about them. Bitcoin is not even breaking into mainstream, even though I've wrote it there. Anyhow PPC is great, and rising as 3rd coin. Title: Re: [PPC] New York Times Interview Post by: russokai on November 24, 2013, 08:39:15 PM PPC is spiking and so is NMC on this news.
Title: Re: [PPC] New York Times Interview Post by: abel1337 on November 24, 2013, 08:46:01 PM Am I the only one that thinks this is complete bs so OP can stack up on PPC and dump on everyone when "sunday morning nyt" article gets published? If you look at the price of PPC it is rising substantially now.. I would be wary to buy in expecting such great news

- If a community attempts to be completely transparent, there will be a group to game the system - If a community does an interview, doesn't tell anyone until last minute, now they would be accused of having insider information and using it to buy cheaper coins Peercoin is open. If you choose to support the coin, great. If you choose to avoid it, great. Like we said, we can't control when anything is being posted. We don't run the papers, we're just happy for the exposure and looking forward to seeing new people interested in crypto.

Calm down :)

Unfortunately I saw giant rises in LTC and PPC prices after I created two threads here about them being undervalued... sometimes I wonder if, in the future, I should just keep my mouth shut.

Title: Re: [PPC] New York Times Interview Post by: romerun on November 25, 2013, 03:58:18 AM Hope we are not the victim o f pump and dump this time, ppc is worth much mor e than this
Title: Re: [PPC] New York Times Interview Post by: Jimmy2011 on November 25, 2013, 04:27:59 AM Great news!
Peercoin will get more and more exposure! Title: Re: [PPC] New York Times Interview Post by: ninjaboon on November 25, 2013, 05:55:13 AM good news for PPC miners and investors.
its at USD2.25 now, market cap at $ 46,790,511 Title: Re: [PPC] New York Times Interview Post by: bobbahope on November 25, 2013, 06:50:26 AM I think this rise to 2.25 is only the beginning, and we'll see the real gains in a week or so, when all those people reading about ppc now, finally manage to get some money in.
2 DAYS OR SO FOR DECIDING TO BUY SOME 3-5 DAYS FOR DEPOSITING FUNDS. Title: Re: [PPC] New York Times Interview Post by: doctor877 on November 25, 2013, 10:02:43 AM I think this rise to 2.25 is only the beginning, and we'll see the real gains in a week or so, when all those people reading about ppc now, finally manage to get some money in. 2 DAYS OR SO FOR DECIDING TO BUY SOME 3-5 DAYS FOR DEPOSITING FUNDS. This, people need to realize that the article isnt big news for people that already are invested in cryptocurrency, but for those who haven't. So I'd expect that in a week or two the most popular altcoins (PPC, XPM, LTC) will rise. Title: Re: [PPC] New York Times Interview Post by: El Dude on November 25, 2013, 10:38:43 AM misleading title , Litecoin was talked about more in this interview
Title: Re: [PPC] New York Times Interview Post by: FuzzyBear on November 25, 2013, 12:15:11 PM Great article and exposure for Peercoin and other currencies :)
Fuzzybear Title: Re: [PPC] New York Times Interview Post by: ninjafocus100 on November 25, 2013, 12:59:34 PM Agree that Peercoin is one of the most innovative coins. May be even better than bitcoin.
Title: Re: [PPC] New York Times Interview Post by: nox_ on November 25, 2013, 01:16:27 PM Great article! Nice to seem some coverage for PPC and XPM :)
Title: Re: [PPC] New York Times Interview Post by: Valermos on November 25, 2013, 06:08:05 PM Good news for all cryptocurrencies out there! :D
This will help the new innovative coins (especially preercoin) to reach much more people. Title: Re: [PPC] New York Times Interview Post by: muto on November 25, 2013, 10:46:12 PM I expect Peercoin to go up in one to two weeks when people, who have heard the first time about Peercoin, have done thair research.
YOU should do your research too, if you do not own Peercoins yet. Itīs not just the fast growing community (thanks to John) but itīs technically the best coin. Title: Re: [PPC] New York Times Interview Post by: NorthFreedom on November 26, 2013, 12:40:23 AM It's great to see Peercoin gaining awareness in mainstream channels. While I would say it's premature to think it will overtake BTC anytime soon, I do like the energy-efficiency and security aspects of the coin. Expect big things from Sunny King and the PPC team in 2014 :)
