He's now no doubt on his way to Guantanamo. They should've plastered a QR code on her forehead. Now that would be cool.

OK, Zero Hedge has it up, and now bitcointalk.

I guess it's already "gone viral".  Let's keep this going.  The more the merrier.

I'll put this on my Joke List and maybe FB.

"All publicity is good publicity" is certainly true in this case!

He could have been rich, but now he's fired instead.  Grin I don't think they'll let it slide.
Even if they won't kick him out he'll land in the basement for years. It was a nice prank though. Balls of steel!

Yeah, guy missed an opportunity to get rich, 100 bits at a time!

Another question is how long did that guy have to intern with some government official or politician to get a seat in the room? That takes real dedication!

He could have drawn the BTC more accurately... Undecided

And here we are all this time killing our selves publicly humiliate governments and their failure of banking system being rubbed in their faces, then advertising bitcoin in the best possible ways that we're capable of, no one even sees us, now someone did something years back yet the crypto world is all over him Cheesy

  This reminds me of the guy who held up a Bitcoin sign with his QR code at the Superbowl and made a fortune from donations. It went viral on Reddit, so just think of how much he made.
  I wonder how much this guy would have made if he put his QR code on there. My bet is over $1,000,000 in the long run.

Is this your address? Because the address from the original picture is "1GwtZF9QFKWNqCRHLx1Y9adGcrhQSUnNfY".
Are you really photoshopping your own address to try to make a few bucks? That's what scammers do.

I just edited my previous post with the original picture.
I hope you just made a mistake and got the fake picture from the real scammer without knowing you were sharing the wrong one.

haha.. next rich man



This was an awesome prank because it both advertises bitcoin to the world while also potentially making the guy wealthy. I wish I had an opportunity like this. He made the most of the opportunity and deserves any money he gets. Hopefully he won't get into trouble.
