Listen for the number, call-in and ask about Bitcoin tomorrow at the times above. He takes in about 50 callers when he announces the number so be quick. If a good portion of the first people trying are us, Bitcoin will be mentioned on his show once again.

Try to mention that it threatens "the globalist agenda", "the fed", etc. We need a good discussion.

Good luck guys. Let's fight the good fight.

If we get that crazy guy onto this then we may see the price rise once again. He has LOTS of paranoid folks there listening to his preaching. We might see a rally. BUY BUY BUY !!!

PS : Loving Project Mainstream !!! Hopefully Bitcoin price rises again.

We should get Alex and Bruce together. A conspiracy theory nutcase and a convicted scammer - who better than them to promote bitcoin?

Please don't associate Bitcoin with crazy people.  I know you can get customers if you advertise at the local insane asylum but they will scare the rest of your potential customers away.

Call in to business related shows on mainstream outlets and talk about the sound economic foundations of Bitcoin if you want to generate good PR.

Is Alex Jones the new Art Bell or is he a different kind of tinfoil hatter?

Any PR is good PR. We are kind of desperate for PR at this point. Price keeps falling. Wonder what is next ? $2 maybe ?

They already are. Jones has been on OneRadioNetwork before. You know, the guys crosspromoting Bruce's OnlyOneTV?

This is the truth. It doesn't matter what the fuel is, we need to get this machine out of park and on the road at least.

You can't use the road. They are paid for by TAXES.  :-\

Nice analogy. I like you took the initiative for this. Too much stagnation in the community. Too many ideas but nobody doing anything etc.

Did the 9/11 truthers find fuel with Alex Jones?  Or does it remain a niche conspiracy theory way outside the mainstream?

Most people I know question the government's purported involvement in 9/11. I do. The fact is the government knew about the plans of the attacks before they happened and they did nothing. It's reasonable to question what actually happened and Alex Jones, in fact, helped spread this knowledge.

However, it's irrelevant. Alex Jone's has a market that will help Bitcoin.

Alex reaches millions of people that are sick of the Federal Reserve.  If you stay away from the cryptography and the mining, and focus only on the reasons WHY people USE bitcoins, you'll have a good discussion that won't go off on tangents.

Yeah, making BTC associated with crazy people is really gonna help acceptance into the mainstream.

I echo that. Alex Jones should have been brought into this sooner. They are the kinds of people that fit the average Bitcoin user profile.

What a disaster.

Immanuel, despite other's concerns, you're steaming ahead with this train wreck of an idea?!

Please.. we don't need more users, we need more merchants first.  You're inviting the sort of users who scare off merchants.

I'm going to stop updating the press hits thread now I think.  It's probably better that a larger variety of people update it anyway - but really I dread the sort of PR that an association with Alex Jones types may bring.

Perhaps one of us should let slip the fact that bitcoin mining is actually calculating secret new world order stuff; scaring the Alex Jones army off with their own sort of silliness might be the only option :P

As a PR professional I can assure you that driving your product towards acceptance among a group of consumers not only outside the mainstream, but in strong opposition to the mainstream, is not a productive tactic towards cultivating mainstream acceptance of your product.

The market in the United States, for example, tends to be hostile towards those who say their friends and family in the military are actually across the world defending the conspiratorial regime of a gaggle of criminals rather than fighting for freedom and security for their country.

As a counter-proposal to generate good public relations, I would urge you to mount a campaign to contact the creators of the television program "My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic" and urge them to feature bitcoins or a equine bitcoin equivalent in the storyline for an episode.  Polls show that the American public holds 80% approval for friendship and ponies, this is the mainstream audience to target.  You can find contact information here:  http://www.hubworld.com/my-little-pony/shows/friendship-is-magic

Aren't they also the type to already be on government watch lists and to bring unwanted government scrutiny to Bitcoin?

Fixed.

This is a currency?!  That is what it is meant to be, not the playtoy of a group of conspiracy theorists!  Don't do this; don't kill bitcoin.

Atlas, why do you care about the price of bit coins?  If they are a currency, the only thing that should matter is that their value remain stable enough for vendors to use them.  Why do you want to encourage a pump and dump by getting a large influx of new users with nowhere to spend the bit coins?

I suspect that the survivalist types will find ways to spend Bitcoins on purchases they want kept "off the radar", but I doubt they'll be supporters of the exchanges or any other Bitcoin business which keeps records of their purchases and/or identity - so I'm not sure that they'll do much to shore up falling prices on the exchanges.

They are also the crowd they are because they are fully invested in the world going up in flames any day now, ie: power grid failures, which would kill the internet, and make bitcoins worthless. That is the very reason why they buy gold/silver and seeds and not digital cash.

If you're not on a government watch list by now you're a complete pussy.

Immanuel, at what price did you invest in Bitcoins?

+1

It seems that you made a massive error by not selling at $30, does it not?

Between here and your little performance in the SA thread, I've seen you start sentences with the word "Unremorsefully" a good 8-10 times in the last day. But never before then.

You have a really shitty word of the day calendar, Atlas.

yeah well..  I'm not entirely sure he could 'ruin' bitcoin.. but bringing that crowd in could probably make it even more unpleasant while we're on the way to wherever it is we're going, and maybe even stretch out the timeline a bit.

(isn't *1* bitrebel more than enough??)

Nonsense - I'm ready with my solar panels, batteries, satellite uplink, wireless mesh routers, strong antennas and my mining rigs - nothing's gonna stop Bitcoin ;D

Major takeaway from the OP: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a5hYL7SBxvI


I knew I shouldn't have gone to bed last night, rainingbitcoins. Remorsefully, I wanted to post this.


Did Rarity uncover A's net worth? Was so nervous when he replied to the question, he spelled "at" incorrectly.

Anybody here remember Mr. Widget on Art Bell's show years ago? Sometimes a radio host will continue airing a weekly guess on the show for entertainment value, alone. I was using Mr. W. as an example, for he proved to scam people later on, but my premise Remains The Same (led Z.). Can you image Atlas on the Alex Jones show at least once a week? Or how about Mancow? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fNpvLR2dP5Q

Hey guys just popping in from reddit to say that the majority of bitcoin users, boosters, detractors and bystanders have already left this forum behind. So if you think this is a good idea or a bad idea don't worry too much about it, nothing is going to get accomplished by this kind of thing because nobody who matters is still here to do anything about it.

Enjoy your increasing and irreversible irrelevance. It's ponzi-scheming price fixations like this that made this forum the single worst place on the internet to realistically discuss bitcoin.

I personally don't care much for overt attempts at marketing bitcoin.  More often than not they don't work and sometimes backfire.  The best way to make bitcoin successful is to simply use it and keep making it better.  It's also not about the exchange rate...the reason people should want bitcoin to be a success is to facilitate digital transactions using a more sound money while preserving people's right to transaction privacy.

Yes but price is related to how many people use it.

If the price drops it means less people use bitcoins.

Can we do AJ tomorrow? Today I'm booked here:

[Al] Sharpton to broadcast from Occupy Wall Street protests: http://www.cnn.com/2011/10/10/us/occupy-wall-street/

So, how'd it go?  Did you get any play?

What question should I ask if I get in?

He was just talking about a movie where the protagonist could see the aliens taking over the local political scene... as long as he was wearing his sunglasses.  Muwahaha.

Specifically mention #operationbitcoin at #operationwallstreet.

Not necessarily...it can also mean that people are becoming more efficient at using bitcoins.  If I can acquire bitcoins, use them to buy something and the merchant can then sell them in a shorter amount of time than before, then the time that is required to hold bitcoins in order to conduct a transaction is shorter, thereby reducing the the overall number of bitcoins required at any moment in time to support commerce using bitcoin.  I'm not saying this is the case right now, but it's an important factor to consider when thinking about the demand for bitcoins.

He will see through the plot you poor patsy.  Bitcoin is a part of the alien agenda to take over the world disguised as a tool to help lead towards our freedom.

You alien lizard people are making a big mistake trying to pull one over on the wise and powerful Alex Jones.  You will only kill Bicoin and it will ultimately lead to your doom, and Alex Jones will be celebrated as our savior.  

FYI - Alex Jones is not exactly fond of OccupyWallStreet. Says it's COINTELPRO.  :o Maybe he's just jealous.  :D

bahaha...

Nice one. He cut you off a bit early though.

Nice Job man, I think you got the point across to make some people research it.  Alex cut you off quick though.
