Will you ever buy a Bitcoin Magazine issue again?

[Spekulatius]

Hi B-People,

After Matthew N. Wright, a member of this community famous for both trolling and starting the "Bitcoin Magazine" has been officially labeled a "SCAMMER" by the forum administrators for taking and not keeping bets about 80k+ BTC that Pirateat40 would pay out lenders after the dafault of BS&T the future of his brainchild the "Bitcoin Magazine" is in jeopardy. Some poeple have already announced never to buy a single issue anymore repelled by Matthew's actions. Do you think those thoughts are justified and Mathew has inflicted irreversible damage on the whole Bitcoin Magazine project, left alone his own reputation or do you think whatever he does should not be projected on the Magazine?

For me it depends entirely on what the promised announcement from Bitcoin Magazine is. If Matthew gets kicked out from that project I will certainly continue supporting the magazine.

+1 to TM

My decision to buy or not buy more copies of Bitcoin Magazine will depend only on how much I like #2 and #3 when they finally arrive.

They will need to not only get rid of Matthew, but publically distance themselves from him in some sort of announcement.

Also, they would have to have an actual publishing schedule instead of coming out whenever they feel like it.

+1.  I would actually purchase a subscription if they do this.

Actually, I just ordered issues #1,2, and 3 after it was announced on reddit that #3 is now on bookshelves.

I think the bitcoin magazine would be more desirable without Matthew N. Wright independently from the outcome of the pirate-bet-episode.

He's a jerk, to the point I don't care what he has to say. Sad but true.

It's a shame that MNW is involved with so many businesses. But then again, this opens up new opportunities for businesses to fill the gaps.

I suspect that a lot of ppl will change their minds if Bitcoin Magazine pays Matthew's debt. Is it possible to add such an option into the poll?

I won't change my mind just because someone else decided to cover his debts.

[Raoul Duke]

No, I will not. And the reason isn't Matthew not paying the bet he lost. The reason is the lame excuse he used.

Im open to suggestions. If more people demand additional options of whatever kind, I'll add them to the poll.
Also, votes can at all times be changed in order to make this poll an kind of up to date representation of the public opinion.

[dirtycat]

never bought one.. never felt the urge to search for one.. but on the chance that I happen to see one at the local bookstore I wont be buying one.

[Come-from-Beyond]

I think I've already known ppl's opinion regarding the option.

[CrazyGuy]

I hadn't heard of Bitcoin magazine until I saw Matthew's bet post, so I probably wouldn't have purchased it online anyways. However, If I had seen the magazine in B&N I definately would have picked it up. After today's outcome though, I don't want anything to do with projects tied to Matthew.

To be honest I don't think I'm in the demographic for this magazine as basically everything there would be old news to me by the time I'd get to receive it. Or most of it.

I thought it could be a good way to introduce people to bitcoin, but I have no idea how good are the contents and being connected to scammers I'd rather stay away.

The news is of course old, but the content is original and well written. Some articles explain in detail what you could only find in scraps all over the internet. Most of those articles sum complicated topics up or give account of people interviewed. I therefore find it interesting to read the magazine although I picked up on all the major news on reddit or bitcointalk already.

A VERY VERY important point needs to be made.

BITCOIN MAGAZINE DOES NOT = MNW.
