Bitcoin is the first monetary system to credibly offer perfect information to all economic participants.

That's our plan too! Now that "Gyft" cards are available for the hard-to-shop for people, I think I can do all my Christmas shopping with bitcoin! You know what would be really amazing? A whale like goat, nakowa, or rpietila, loaded, etc buying a space flight from http://www.virgingalactic.com tomorrow. They actually have an add on http://www.bitcoinblackfriday.com/#cat=0 ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) !

gyft.com is offering 4 points per dollar on black friday, so 1 day deal only. i might make another order on coinbase and then trasfer it over there just for the hell of it. paying the exchange fee will probably negate any savings, but i don't mind.. it's just me helping move BTC around.

Jon - please hire someone (serious here) to get the press involved in this. Someone needs to gather the numbers for sales, or something, so that the press can write articles on this. You're probably way ahead of me on this, but the press is writing about Bitcoin Black Friday - so they're going to go nuts if we can give them a dollar amount spent and number of merchants - maybe even number of purchases / people who participated. This will be *huge* press for Bitcoin, and i would hire someone to contact every store that participated, and every press outlet possible (maybe put a notice on the website home page) ... to get the articles out there. I realize this is short notice, but im hoping someone will consolidate this information on the sales and participants and help get the public aware of what went down! Huge press opportunity for success of Bitcoin. Very important!

And where does it say that LiteCoin can handle more transactions then Bitcoin? It doesn't matter that LiteCoin has "faster" transaction. It needs to have more confirmations then Bitcoin before it gets accepted.
EDIT: Changing your post and removing the Litecoin part doesn't help.
