Here's a fun and simple idea to help spread the idea of bitcoin to your friends this holiday season. Buy or print holiday cards. Then print a public/private key pair on the card.* Get some scratch off stickers from your Office Depot and cover the private key. Give them the cards and tell them it's a surprise. After they give you a puzzled look, have them scratch the sticker off to reveal the private key. Show them how to import the key on a smartphone. Then show them how to spend the Bitcoin on valuable and exciting gifts.


* When QR codes are available for this it will be much easier.

Any significantly advanced cryptocurrency is indistinguishable from Ponzi Tulips.

It is a common myth that Bitcoin is ruled by a majority of miners. This is not true. Bitcoin miners "vote" on the ordering of transactions, but that's all they do. They can't vote to change the network rules.

Cool idea, its already being doing virtually, http://bitcoinsforchristmas.com/

Would be cool to somehow get it on print cards with an easy HOWTO

Bitcoin pioneer. An apostle of Satoshi Nakamoto. A crusader for a new, better, tech-driven society. A dreamer.
