First Bitcoin cake purchased at Walmart (Safe to Eat).









At today's exchange rate, it almost cost me 1 BTC (but paid with a double sawbuck).

Even if you use Bitcoin through Tor, the way transactions are handled by the network makes anonymity difficult to achieve. Do not expect your transactions to be anonymous unless you really know what you're doing.

The cake is a lie!

Code:
Walmart Supercenter
6800 W Us Highway 34
Plano, IL 60545
http://www.walmart.com/storeLocator/ca_storefinder_details_short.do?rx_dest=%2Findex.gsp&rx_title=com.wm.www.apps.storelocator.page.serviceLink.title.default&sfsearch_city=plainfield&edit_object_id=1003&sfsearch_state=IL

Ah...what information a "cake" can bring.
I wonder if I can re-order the same "cake"?

I knew that was coming. It is an 8" (edit--only 7"--about the size of a very large donut) cake purchased in the Donut section of Walmart. You could order the same cake. Also, I wasn't afraid to to show the receipt with that relative information on it, for I've already stated on this board that I'm located in Sandwich, Illinois, and can easily be found--just ask the Major (or the police, for they know me, too--in a good way [except for that ticket I got from them yesterday while going to Walmart to order this Bitcoin cake--my first ticket in 35 years]).

It all broils down when you try to take on the roll of GlaDOS.

Anyways, awesome cake! Smiley

How to mimic current events:

1) Go home and label your toilet "MyBitcoin.com".
2) Eat the Bitcoin.
3) "Deposit" the Bitcoin.
4) Enjoy the lulz.

Pics or it didn't happen.


Ewe, you forgot to flush!

Had to Google GlaDOS, NothinG. The following is edited from Wikipedia: GLaDOS has been well-received by critics and gamers, some of whom called her a narcissist, passive-aggressive, sinister, and witty. In no way, shape or form am I a narcissist or sinister. I do see, though, how you can easily come to that conclusion by the amount of posts I make, and maybe by their contents. But believe, you, me, I do love Bitcoin and would not do anything to diss her (Bitcoin is a her, correct?).

I enjoyed the post, NothinG. Later, bud.

If the cake has to prove it's not a lie, it's a lie.

Nope. The last game I ever played had the phrase, "Is Bargle with you?" in it.

I've never played Portal either but I was under the impression that phrase was widely used.

The only other phrase I'm somewhat familiar with is, "All Your Base Are Belong To Us."

More cake photos coming in a sec or two.

So how do you feel about buying from a company that uses it's ties with the government to get tax breaks, zone exclusions, and other things not available to smaller companies or family owned businesses?

Shut up and enjoy your donuts!

@OP: This cake is apparently NOT a lie.
Wait...WHAT'S THIS?
Time Traveling Cake?


You cut the "cake" and it grows back.

Where some see evil, others see determination.

Looks like an excellent opportunity for Bitcoin. Walmart could now easily say, "Fuck you, banks! We have Bitcoin."
