Living off of nothing but bitcoin for a year... Great publicity stunt?

  I guess the forum search only searched the current board and child boards not the entire forum?

The simple forum search at the top right is context sensitive. If you have a thread open, it will search within the thread. If you have a thread list open, it will search within that specific subforum and child boards. If you have forum overview open, it will search everything.

I doubt I'd ever attempt something like this any time soon, but I really like the idea. I'm guessing it in principle excludes exchanging BTC for fiat paper or using a BTC debit card to pay merchants accepting only fiat.

I would be willing to do this and plan on getting as close to this soon.

But only after BitInstant comes out with their Visa card and billpay.

Then I will have every paycheck converted automatically to Bitcoins and go from there.


Not all that exciting though.

There could even be a bitcoin house, of for better PR effect, there could be the travelling bitcoin group. To be environmental friendly, they should walk, run or use a bicycle. Then they could spread the bitcoin gospel everywhere, and they could make appointments with people who would help them out with supplies and housing during the trip.

They could have a website were they put films and stories about their adventures.

This is the approach I would take with a proper white-hat marketing campaign to boot.

Eventhough with the much anticipated arrival of bitinstant's mastercard living off bitcoins will be a peace of cake for anybody,

the oubkic is still unaware of that possibility. --> Hence living a whole year off bitcoins will be easy as stealing a baby's dummy, it would still score the same awareness as without the card.

So lets bring it on! (bitinstant!)

It would be better if the person had to actually pay with bitcoins using a service like bitpay.com.  You want a beer?  You have to convince one of the local bars to install the application.

Honestly I think you'd starve. But that would be PR in and of itself. :-)

Someone starving to death for not being able to buy food with Bitcoin may raise awareness.

Kinda like monks pouring gasoline on themselves and setting themselves on fire.

We could all wear ribbons.
