If I win the 10,000BTC, I have an idea for what to do with the money...

Yes the ship has sailed on hard copy magazines IMO (although I still buy the occasional car mag)..........that said, for the non-bitcoiners I can see it being an easier thing to get them to read a magazine, than research BTC on the internet.

Maybe do a pamphlet, like an informational piece around bitcoin introducing the general public to its merits (keep it simple and non-geeky as much as poss), with 0.1BTC (around $1 USD) on an expirable claim. I could see that having a greater impact. In fact I would personally hand some out around the streets in my local town. We could also distribute them on the tubes or in the streets if a team of us were around the Bitcoin London conference timeframe.

Good video with some good points. However I work for one of the largest companies in the world with one of the most succcessful partner marketing schemes of all time, if our marketing specialists suggest we move from 70% spend on printed ads to 30% printed and 70% online (arbitary figures), I think they may be right.

Vladimir drops everything else and resumes work on proper digital edition. No seriously.

Well, I still think a pamphlet is a good idea to raise awareness, though imagine lots of 0.1BTC being thrown away in the streets, you would have ppl running around collecting the pamphlets.

Actually, that could be a way to pay the garbage collectors.....

EDIT: And, targeting known thought leaders in the IT Industry with the magazine, could be a plan......

With "he" I referred to Matthew, and I am pretty sure he is a he.
That being said, chances are that I would prefer having it delivered by you

Yehovah's Witnesses crap the place with magazines and they create more rejection than acceptance.

That's more or less the image you're bound to create.

If I win the 10,000BTC bet and I pay for 50,000 issues of the Bitcoin Magazine to be printed and shipped, would you accept one?

Of course! But you are not going to win...

How much is a yearly subscription to Bitcoin magazine? If I win my 10 BTC bet, I'm willing to put some of those winnings towards a subscription.

I wouldn't worry about the free magazines.  Just be ready to pay up.  You know it's coming.
