BitcoinIt's Laissez-Fair Good slogan? Sorry couldn't help myself No. Bad slogan. BitcoinIt's Laissez-Faire Much better. I was about to post the same thing, and ask, if by chance, it was a play on word(s) that went over my head, hence knowing Evoorhees' handle on the English language. ~Bruno~

I don't think Bitcoin needs a slogan any more than a technology like SATA needs a slogan.
If a company needs to promote Bitcoin to get customers instead of promoting what they can do which their non Bitcoin-using competators can't that actually doesn't reflect well on the premise that Bitcoin is a disruptive technology which enables new business opportunities.
The majority of people don't care about the underlying technology as an end to itself - they care about what the technology can do for them. So a payment processor should advertise that it offers risk-free, instant payments from customers located anywhere in the world because that's what people who are selling things online care about. A gambling site can advertise based on its payout ratios, provable fairness, and the ability for people anywhere in the world to participate regardless of exclusionary rules set up by local cartels, because that's what gamblers care about.
Bitcoin itself hardly needs to be mentioned at all.

I figured as much when I read it, but still at bay, for the play eludes me. Guess you now have to let us, or at least me, in on the lolz. ~Bruno~

the term "laissez-faire" is connotated too negatively already due to today's corporotocracy. Such a slogan will polarize too much.

I prefer 'lezzy fare'. It's just about as meaningless as 'laissez-faire', and more attention grabbing to normal folk.

sig spam anywhere and self-moderated threads on the pol&soc board are for losers.

BitcoinIt's Laissez-Fair Good slogan? Sorry couldn't help myself No. Bad slogan. BitcoinIt's Laissez-Faire Much better. It's much better with the pun that Erik intended. "Laissez-fair" is a great libertarian slogan. For Paymium, my associates and I went for a more politically neutral slogan: "money over IP"

BitcoinIt's Laissez-Fair Good slogan? Sorry couldn't help myself As you probably know any marketing effort has to be tailored specifically for the target audience. "Its laissez-fair" would work at a libertarian economists conference, but it would be worse than useless for a more general audience.

I just call Bitcoin the Future of Money. It works in my opinion. Calling it Internet money or something like that makes it sound like Monopoly money in some peoples' ears. The OP's suggestion is definitely very crowd specific, as a general definition that is horrible but in some circles it might be very good.
