Everyone wants Bitcoin to get recognized, and that seems like it would be really simply if even just 20 fairly well off bitcoiners put some funds together... And I'm not just saying "I wish this would happen".

I get paid next month in Devcoin, so I will put some money towards Bitcoin (this project), since it was what introduced me to Devcoin in the first place.

If we have 20-100 people, that were willing to put 1 BTC (I will donate first) towards this goal. We could afford to make flyers for each of our home towns, and maybe even mailers to be sent to people's houses with a little info about bitcoin and a few websites, like this one and some shops and faucets.

Then eventually as the project gained speed, we could start getting billboards, paying people to wrap there cars and eventually afford a late night commercial ad space, like an infomercial about Bitcoin and a little info on altcoins. I think this is completely possible over the next year or two. Then we could work on making Bitcoin AVAILABLE to everyone, instead of just known about by everyone.

Who's with me?

The Bitcoin software, network, and concept is called "Bitcoin" with a capitalized "B". Bitcoin currency units are called "bitcoins" with a lowercase "b" -- this is often abbreviated BTC.

I was always wondering if/when your "Let the machines do the work" pitch was going to pivot into how you are collecting money for the greater good.

The greater good? I'm just working on getting Bitcoin advertising done.
You guys have some kind of HUGE bias when reading my stuff, and automatically put words in my mouth.

Sorry about the way that you do it in terms of advertising, of course, if you must know, Thanks!

I'm NOT WITH YOU.

Here's why.

Look at the bolded sections above.  All yesterday stuff.

Screw them if they are not internet aware. 

If they are, then they can learn about btc on the internet tubes..

Pretty simple, methinks.
