Bitcoin Forum

I guest-blogged the following article about bitcoin in V3 Integrated Marketing's blog. The head honcho at V3 is the well-known social media marketer Shelly Kramer http://twitter.com/shellykramer  (http://twitter.com/shellykramer), who is a friend of mine on Twitter (my handle: http://twitter.com/joecascio  (http://twitter.com/joecascio)). I think it's noteworthy that non-techie blogs are starting to pick up on bitcoin interest. I'm hoping to write other articles for Shelly in the future.

I think this is the first use of the slogan "Cash At A Distance" to describe bitcoin.

Interested in Mobile Payments: Bitcoin is Cash At A Distance http://www.v3im.com/2012/07/interested-in-mobile-payments-bitcoin-is-cash-at-a-distance/#axzz21vqopUGM (http://www.v3im.com/2012/07/interested-in-mobile-payments-bitcoin-is-cash-at-a-distance/#axzz21vqopUGM)

By the way, you'll note that one of the commenters is named "FellowTraveler". I think this may be the guy who created OpenTransactions, which is a very nice complement to bitcoin. https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Open_Transactions (https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Open_Transactions) He points out that bitcoin is not completely anonymous as it stands, which is quite correct. I think, though, that to the common user, it requires more technical acumen and wherewithal than they possess to do the traffic analysis required to traceback a bitcoin transaction to a real person.

Your comments are very welcome!

and great slogan by the way, I'll use it :)

This is one of the best articles lately. I donated :)

Very well written, unlike some others who type up bunch of nonsense without researching their subject first while call themselves journalists. Good job.

Thanks, y'all.

Mod note: edited the title to reflect the formatting used in this subforum.  ;)
Awesome article! I love it when people do try to make an effort to understand the subject before writing on it.
