Has a friend ever offered to buy your drinks? Do you enjoy a "You buy this time, I'll buy next time" relationship?
Perhaps this is the perfect opportunity to teach your friend a thing or two about Bitcoin.
While you're sharing your liquid grains, on your friend's tab, convince them to flip on their phone and download a wallet on their phone or point point their browser to Instawallet. Pay your tab you owe them right then and there with Bitcoins.
They've already agreed to be "out" the bernankies this time around. They'll have some Bitcoins to ponder for awhile and time to play around with them. If they doesn't find them useful or at least novel (WHATEVER), then just have him send them back next time you meet up and give him the cash for the beer. Slate is clean and you can end the friendship. lol Just kidding. But at least you tried promoting it and someone new got a chance to truly experience Bitcoin.
But if it all works out, you've extended the "Bitcoin accepted here" network and the new guy will be that much more likely to accept them and even use them with someone else!
Viva la Bitcoin!

Count me in. I'd like "BitcoinIntro.com" to be listed in slot 101 if possible (I see its available right now).
Honored 1 BTC, more later depending on the charity. f33101a4b28352ab094fc52c96210fecd5873a59860f2910e99c2bc8d31eb946 |

Just installed... This is the simple type of app I love. I will write it up at BitcoinIntro.com!

There is exactly one. I'll offer it auction style, starting price 1 BTC in 1 BTC increments. If only one person wants it, then it goes for 1 BTC.
You, sir, are a Bitcoin Whore. 8D |

and amazingly came from Matthew N. Wright.
Quoting is the only way I see his posts. And, yes, amazingly, I agree with this one sans the hyperbole. |

I'm holding (most of) my Bitcoins for the day that acceptance is ubiquitous.

[Heh, well I want to give away hundreds, but I'm not prepared to buy hundreds of Casascius collectable coins for this. I give them to close family and friends. I want something that I can use to "carpet bomb" people with Bitcoin awareness.
Agreed... that's quite an overhead.. I did buy a dozen to promote the economy (his mostly LOL) because they are a neat idea and gives people something to hold on to... so thats why I really like my OP below... I'm looking forward to causing a frenzy in my email distributions and see who'd going to be keeping a close eye on them to get the Bitcoins. |

Seriously guys... The properties of Bitcoin will sell itself... but people aren't going to learn about those properties by you sitting on your ass and not singing it from the mountain tops. Pass out fliers, talk to people, encourage your friends to use it by giving a few free micro bitcoins away.
If you believe in Bitcoin, it shouldn't be a chore. If you enjoy movies, you'll pay for the entertainment. If you enjoy everything that is Bitcoin, you can just as easily "pay for the entertainment" by sharing a little with someone else that might be interested too.
Edit: If you're already involved with Bitcoin, you've already made the leap of faith to purchase or trade something for them.. it is a hurdle for most new people to create an account, link a bank account, etc.. help them out, by offering a few to play with. wet their tastebuds so to speak... then they'll be more likely to walk a little further into the rabbit hole on their own. Then replace them and consider it an entertainment expense (or how ever you need to justify it in your own head). Would you buy your friend a coffee just for the experience of chatting with them for a few minutes? same thing can be done with Bitcoins.

It's alarming that Mt. Gox doesn't even have SPF setup.
it's reassuring that the fraudsters think the target group of these kinds of attacks are stupid enough to fall for it. |

This reminds me of the Christmas gift letter from casascius too! |

Send an email to all your friends and family stating that you will give away $1 USD in bitcoins each day for the next 30 days to this email list.
Give them instructions on how to download the clients (point them to BitcoinIntro.com if they are a noob).
Then, each day, send $1 in Bitcoins to an instawallet address and post the URL to the email list.
It doesn't have to be Instawallet, but it's the most intuitive interface for noobs. If you have a higher class of friends, then post private keys, or do some simple xor on them as a puzzle.
It doesn't have to be this specific amount, or frequency. It's just meant to light another fire under Bitcoin.
Post your experiences.

We need a forum for CCW and bitcoin enthusiasts.
Dude, this is NOT a porn site. Please. Hmm, am I missing something? Bitcoins is pornographic enough. 8D Adding firearms would just put it over the edge. |

The difference being if I lose my password to my BoA account I do not lose all of my money. I lose my BoA issues debit card I do not lose all of my money.
I delete my Bitcoin wallet file I lose all of my money. There is no recourse.
Backup your wallets. Problem solved. |
