http://investing.businessweek.com/research/markets/news/article.asp?docKey=600-201309111407PR_NEWS_USPRX____DA78126-1Hi Everyone! Should have posted on this board earlier but just had the thought! I wanted to share a project my family's publishing company has been working on for several months in conjunction with some of the top names in the Bitcoin space. Named yBitcoin, it is a quarterly, advertiser-supported, magazine designed to introduce people to Bitcoin and invite them into our community... In support of that goal, we're trying to present the most effective case possible for Bitcoin adoption and are drawing from some of the top Bitcoin experts in the industry (Erik Voorhees, Tony Gallippi, Andreas Antonopoulos, Tuur Demeester, KnC Miner, and several other All-Stars) along with editorial partnerships with Bitcoin Magazine and CoinDesk. I can't reveal too much about our advertisers yet, but suffice to say we have some of the biggest Bitcoin companies joining our premiere issue.. an important feature for a magazine geared to new comers (we want to make sure they have a great user experience before they become truly educated on the ecosystem). Our print date (target) is for magazines to ship from our printer the 1st week of November so this is something you'll definitely be seeing much more of in 2013! Keep an eye out! You can learn more about us at
http://yBitcoin.net and can contact me if you have any interest in advertising (
david@ybitcoin.net).
And yes, we accept Bitcoin!
All the best,
David Bailey
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
yBitcoin, the first free mass-marketed print magazine focused on Bitcoin education launches this Fall with a cover contest.
Huntsville, Alabama/United States, September 10, 2013 – Bailey Publications has unveiled plans for yBitcoin, a free quarterly print and digital guide designed to introduce global audiences to the Bitcoin economy, and the companies and leaders behind it.
Bringing with them 29 years of print media experience, Bailey Publications’ plans call for using the highest quality design and production standards, and direct-mailing over 30,000 free magazines of its premier issue, with plans to scale up production throughout 2014.
Covering an array of topics including exchanging, mining, security, shopping, legal, investment, merchant benefits and more, yBitcoin draws upon expert contributors and leading Bitcoin institutions to introduce the underlying concepts and promise of the cryptocurrency breakthrough.
Calli Bailey, Publisher says, “simply put, as an international traveler and parent of three generation-y techies, it didn’t take long to recognize cryptocurrency’s promise as an emerging technology capable of profoundly benefiting people around the world. Yes, Bitcoin has many hurdles yet to cross, but like the early days of the internet, its true potential and power has yet to be understood or appreciated. Our goal is to advance the dialogue by introducing Bitcoin to Main Street and provide a tool for the Bitcoin community to help facilitate their conversations with family, friends and favorite merchants.”
