It also shows what the Bitcoin community needs to make more clear for the masses to understand what Bitcoin is all about.
Title: Re: Bitcoin featured in local magazine upstart Post by: Phinnaeus Gage on April 06, 2012, 11:42:09 PM I recently came into a copy of the first issue of Northwest Mama magazine. I was surprised to find a small basic article explainin bitcoin. Northwest Mama is a new magazine for the Spokane(WA), Coeur d'Alene(ID) area. I just found out about it today from a family friend who is working for the magazine. The magazine is, as the name suggests, for the mother demographic. This is their website. They have an online copy of the current issue, which is still the first. The article is on page 41. http://nwmama.com/ Thank you, jj, for bringing this to our attention. I took the liberty to email them, via their contact page, a thank you letter from the Bitcoin community, coupled with asking if there's a charity close to their heart that wouldn't mind a 100+ BTC. That letter can be seen here (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=52543.msg839294#msg839294) on the Bitcoin 100 thread. I also also asked how the heck they were able to get the magazine out so quickly (<--only kidding). ;) ~Bruno~ |
