Hi guys,
I'm going to be making stickers out of this thing to increase BTC awareness. They are designed to be on a stop sign (so clever!). I plan to distribute a good amount for free.I have to figure out pricing, etc. But I will make no profit, and I'm even willing to do it out of my own pocket. I just wondered what you think?

I suppose it means  that people should not be chasing printed money, at least thats how i get it. But if we dont get the point, i dont think regular people will

I couldn't think of a better way to succinctly put it. Any suggestions?

Like everyone says, your heart is in the right place and that is great.  But to shed bad light on cryptocurrency any further then what is already available to people who do not know or do not believe is not the best way to go about things.  Keep thinking though!

If you want to call it vandalizing, go ahead. Lots of companies call it "Urban Marketing". You've never seen a PETA one? Whatever, I'm going to do it. The more people turned on to Bitcoins, the more money they'll be worth. And "greyhawk" if you reply to this you truly have no life, in front of everyone reading this I am kindly asking you to leave my posts alone. When you comment on every single post I make, in completely different threads, its a bit scary. Find someone else to pick on.

It's also how the company "Obey" became popular. I'm not running around breaking windows and spray painting BTC everywhere. I'm putting a 3" x 2" sticker on a road sign. If anybody wants one, PM and I'll send you one. I don't think any sticker on a stop sign will turn the public tide against Bitcoins-if I did I wouldn't be doing this.

Do you have any idea how unpopular or up for constant ridicule or complete lack of respect nearly every organization falls under that takes part in the vacillation?  Its great your out there trying to push it forward, but think about your actions before you make the move.  If a majority of the people >IN< Bitcoin are telling you no - what the heck do you think people outside of Bitcoin are going to think.?

Your heart is in the right spot, dont just stop at this idea because you want to be stubborn about it and you think its the best idea ever.  I promise you any person who has a lot of good ideas, also has a lot of bad ones.  Cryptocurrencies have an up hill battle, and all your going to do with this plan is further fence us in to the notion of being part of the underground world that the majority do not want any part in.  Unfortunately for a large scale adoption - you need those people too, they spend a lot of money!

I just find it incredible that so many people are SO critical of this idea. Do you really believe it is going to bring such bad publicity to the BTC? What people know of Bitcoins, if they know of Bitcoins is that they are used primarily to buy DRUGS (even though I don't need to say it, Silk Road). By putting "bitcoinme.com" out there people will be able to better understand the Bitcoin and realize its commerce involves more than just drugs.

BUT if the "Bitcoin Community" is so against it I won't do it. I'm certainly not trying to burn any bridges over a sticker.

I'm basically not a big fan of this Idea. And Peta is really a bad example.

But if you really want to do it, consider something: Next to nobody will see this sticker and remember to visit bitcoinme.com the next time he is on a browser. Because of the Slogan "Chasing Paper".

Make a sticker with a few key words that immediately spark interest.

And include a QR-Code that people can scan with their phone and get to your site. It's 2013.

Here is one:

Raise cash/donations then order a billboard space. More official, hard to miss. Heck, make the logo glow in the dark....

+1, thank you. Even though I'm not doing it I believe it would be effective. Of course people would see it...its on a Stop Sign. But I'll respect the BTC community (you guys are the BTC community) and pursue means of advertising Bitcoins that do not involve "defacing" (for lack of a better term) any property.
I'm curious though-in your guys' opinion, what will [inevitably] attract more people to BTC, and how long will it take?

Great, more people fucking around with their cellphones while they drive.

On the whole sticker thing, be aware that you can be held responsible for the costs of removing the stickers (which leave hard as shit residue to take off) from stop signs worth quite a bit of money. Add to that vandalizing public property.

You're a pandora's box of great ideas, aren't you.

SO CLEVER!

Stop signs are payed for with stolen money. in a way that stop sign belongs to you more than it does the people who actually claim ownership of it.

Oh lawdy, one of you people.

Alright, let's assume I'll go along with the whole "taxes are theft" thing, and that sign does indeed belong to you. It also belongs to everyone else in the town.

You wouldn't stick crap on other people's things, so why stick it on people's shared things, especially since it'll be removed at your cost via taxes/stolen money.
