1  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Got my local radio station to plug Bitcoin A LOT! on: January 16, 2014, 01:07:06 PM
Good morning everyone. On Monday I sent this email to the morning show of the local radio station I listen to here in Canada's Capital city of Ottawa;

"Hello folks. I thought it might be a good idea, since Dave already does ‘TechBites’ every morning, that he start including the price of Bitcoin when he rhymes off the price of the dollar, the Euro, etc. You guys come across as sort of the hip, new station in Ottawa, and this might help solidify that reputation…maybe even bring in some new listeners. It would also really help in getting the Bitcoin message out to the people, give it some more exposure."

One of the hosts emailed me back, and said it was a good idea, and he would see what he could do (he admitted he didn't know much about it). Well this morning he read my email on the air, and is now including the Bitcoin price when he does his update on the markets, which I think is 3 times an hour. It almost makes Bitcoin sound like a currency when its market price is included along side other currencies. I can see a lot of people going into work and immediately and trying to find out what this Bitcoin thing is. Anyway, maybe other people could do the same in their cities.

The radio station is Live885 (http://www.live885.com/), and is probably the most popular station for younger types in the city, so its definitely being broadcast to the right crowd.

Cheers,
dp
2  Other / Beginners & Help / Anybody use Cheapair.com to book flights using BTC? on: January 12, 2014, 09:41:53 PM
Hi there. I bought 15 coins in late October, and have been hodling ever since. I told myself I'd just buy them, forget about them, and not look at the price until my 40th birthday (3 years away). WRONG, especially since I've been browsing these forums since the beginning. Anyway, I thought I'd take my wife down to Vegas for a little getaway, maybe over Superbowl weekend and catch some of the parties. I see that Cheapair.com offers flights that you can pay for using BTC. Anyone ever use them? Any others that do the same?

Thx.
