Loucis [sp] CK Accepts Bitcoin for New Show “Horace and Pete”Who doesn't love Louis C.K.? C.K officially began to accept bitcoin payments since August of last year, after C.K and his team filmed his comedy show performed at Madison Square Garden. The team of C.K integrated BitPay onto their online shop, where they sold audio-only show with a unique marketing strategy. Instead of selling the show with a fixed price range, Louis C.K allowed his fans purchase the video at any price they want, with the minimum payment being US$1.
“We have the price set to 5 dollars but you can lower it to 1 dollar or raise it to 85. that’s the maximum, because beyond that, I don’t want your crazy money,” said C.K in August.

Every time a block is mined, a certain amount of BTC (called the
subsidy) is created out of thin air and given to the miner. The
subsidy halves every four years and will reach 0 in about 130 years.

Oh Louis the BAUS, this guy isn't just funny hes officially awesome now... when enough people with serious cultural clout accept bitcoin, people will take notice. I'd say this is a big step in the fight for bitcoin adoption, good work Louis!

This may be the first time I've heard of anyone in the mainstream accepting BTC. I don't see if anywhere online except for btc specific sites like this one. Kudos to Louis CK

He is pretty smart that he accept it because it may become handy in the future for him, plus its also good for the future of the bitcoin.
Also what he does here is also good for that market, maybe more people of that market will do it now also.

The money will also pick it up and speak about it, I'm sure of it so maybe the bitcoin will also get bigger because of his smart thinking.

Yes. You are right. It would be good for both of them, for him and for bitcoin also..by the way. Does any one know how much bitcoins he is asking for a seat or a ticket? hope we can afford it.. |

I also wanna know what a ticket cost if you pay with the bitcoin, maybe it sound stupid but maybe there is some discount because your are paying with the bitcoin. Maybe it will be sold on a online ticket shop or something, I think we will hear it fast from someone. |

He actually started accepting bitcoin last year on his website as someone else mentioned, so he's been a long-time supporter.
I saw an article that said he doesn't use Ticketmaster and his tickets were a flat $45. Not sure if that's still the case though.
