Title: [2014-08-29] The “Worthless Currency Exchange” at Burning Man’s Camp Bitcoin Post by: erono on August 29, 2014, 11:44:36 AM http://recode.net/2014/08/28/the-worthless-currency-exchange-at-burning-mans-camp-bitcoin/
Flipping through my 160-page official Burning Man book of events, I noticed something strange: Camp Bitcoin was hosting a “worthless currency exchange.” Bitcoin Camp?! Worthless currency exchange? I had some candies in my backpack that could certainly count as currency here.

This is a excellent event to host a BTC meetup. ;D You get all the extra exposure, from people listening in on the discussions. Only thing is, you have to be sober to address the crowd, and the crowd would be too shitefaced, to accept the message.

“One of the biggest barriers to the gift economy is debt, the usury. With cryptocurrency we can reengineer abundance rather than scarcity,” Bryson-Haynes said. “I have a friend doing permaculture coins — a seed bank tied to cryptocurrency. The currency is the grain. It’s all possibilities now.” When you full on booze and high on crack, you going to be full of shite anyways.

It is a place where many people can get "high" without drugs or booze. |
