[Vote finished] Bitcoin Slogan / Tagline

[phelix]

I would like to create a poll for our favorite Bitcoin slogan. Please post your suggestion. I will set up a poll (maybe with two rounds should there not be a clear winner). Keep in mind it should work with people not familiar with bitcoin.

EDIT 2013-05-06: NO MORE NOMINATIONS! MAKE YOUR OWN POLL IF YOU WANT MORE

EDIT 2013-03-01: FROM NOW ON NEW SUGGESTIONS WILL NEED A +1 BEFORE I WILL ADD THEM TO THE POLL



There are plenty of ideas here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=46247.0


there comes to mind:

Plus plenty of more suggestions in the posts.


Edit 2013-03-13:

Procedure:
Phase 1: Nominations only
Phase 2: Poll started, still open to nominations
Phase 3: Late nominations need +1 from someone else
Phase 4: 0 vote suggestions removed
Phase 5: 1 & 2 vote suggestions removed
Phase 6: 3, 4 & 5 vote suggestions removed

The idea behind all this? As the poll system of this board does not allow a ranked vote I had to enforce some aggregation. I did this by removing suggestions that clearly would not win so that voters were urged to recast their vote.

Y U get to decide?
I tried to make a fair poll. If you don't like it make your own.

Launder your dirty money!  Buy drugs - cheap!     Naaah I think we have enough of that kind of publicity.

What about:

"In The Internet We Trust"

[Zomdifros]

"Give us some of that internet money!"

Or, more serious:

"Sound money for a digital age"

Not your mother's money

funny but sounds a little negative, imho.

Doing for money what the internet did for communication

There are plenty of ideas here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=46247.0

I read through that thread and a couple that I think would potentially spark interest in those unfamiliar with bitcoins:

From casascius: "You Asked For Change, We Gave You Coins"
From btc_artist: "Bitcoin -- Of the People, for the People"

Other ideas:

"Bitcoin: Your change has arrived" (a variation of casascius' "change" theme)
"Bitcoin: The money of the people, by the people, for the people" (a variation of btc_artist's Gettysburg theme)
"Bitcoin: The new paradigm in money"
"Bitcoin: The people's bailout" (my personal favorite)

"electronic money"
"e-money"
"e-cash"
"electronic gold"
"e-gold"
"for us, by us"--taken from someone else on these boards...but I like it too.

You Asked For Change, We Gave You Coins

Is my favorite, it's playful and meaningful

Of the People, for the People

in crypto we trust

Both good... but too US-centric

e-cash, e-gold, anything with gold in, ... not really felling those.

Bitcoin: because if its good enough for A Good Wife its good enough for a hubby.

(Main objective is it needs research to even begin not to "WTF" so might motivate some searches. Or might not.)

I like the first one from the other thread.

"Using Bitcoin does to the big banks what e-mail does to the Postal Service."

http://m.ibtimes.com/u-s-postal-service-first-class-mail-donahoe-congress-214545.html

"We simply need fewer facilities to process less mail," Megan Brennan, said chief operating officer of the Postal Service.
 
The postal service has experienced fast decline in First Class mail due to the Internet, as more people use e-mail and online bill pay instead. In the last five years, for example, First Class mail volume has dropped 25 percent. Single-piece first class mail -- letters and such sent with a stamp -- has declined 50 percent in the past decade.
