bitcoin is much like paypal for payment transfer but the fee's are ALOT smaller and not regulated/controlled by one company. 21 words i think ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) Inspired by the above post from the thread entitled What is Bitcoin? (In 21 words), I offer up the following challenge. I will pay BTC1 to the person whom best my 14 word submission on a Tee depicted in the image below the rules. - Must contain 14 words or less, explaining Bitcoin to the masses in a concise way.
- Must be grammatically correct.
- Must be written in E-Prime.
- Must be presented as an image of a Tee (or similar) with the wording legible (no funky font).
- The use of a Bitcoin symbol is preferred but not mandatory.
- Based on at least 10 different members submitting at least one design (multiple submissions allowed).
- Feel free to even improve upon my submission.
- Time frame will be 7 days.
- Judging will be solely by me, but will give considerable weight to comments on quality submissions.
Hopefully, there'll be no need to modify the rules above, but I reserve the right to amend them. Fear not, for I've proven to be über fair. ~Bruno K~ ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=http%3A%2F%2Ffarm9.staticflickr.com%2F8211%2F8295926090_285183b6cd_z.jpg&t=663&c=Ve-9eTBgCqZ54Q)

I'm going to add it to Post #2 of this thread. Below is another one of my submissions that is not part of this contest, but can be used for inspirational purposes. ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=http%3A%2F%2Ffarm9.staticflickr.com%2F8499%2F8295137651_a3a704781b.jpg&t=663&c=baDPDhnYpgneNw)

Rather than trying to explain it, why not go for brand awareness and have something simple like:
Bitcoin is money

Your idea is in the slogan/motto range, while we're trying to explain what is Bitcoin to the masses in as few words as possible.

Can certainly be improved in terms of artwork on the tee... ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fi50.tinypic.com%2F2nvp5k.jpg&t=663&c=4jsju30WW3E_Rg) Damn close, but you broke one of the rules. Can you figure out which one? (not being an ass toward you, bud) I like it, but can't add, for I would surely be called out for adding a submission incorporating an infringement. ~Bruno K~

That would be the E-Prime rule. I could modify it to meet that rule but it'd be half as witty. Why is E-Prime important here? Would be good if this could be discussed... Oh and possibly because if Bitcoin counts as a word itself we're up to 15 - not sure if that's it?

Rep Thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=381041If one can not confer upon another a right which he does not himself first possess, by what means does the state derive the right to engage in behaviors from which the public is prohibited?

This probably won't work for you since it's a bit more slogan/motto-y than what I think you're looking for, but I figured I'd toss it in anyways. ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fs13.postimage.org%2Frczs1gtzr%2FBit_Coin_1.jpg&t=663&c=zSQ3FHKiAdbtyQ)
