What's also interesting about this is that they are free to use the term 'Bitcoin' directly - they don;t have to invent a fake name, as no one owns the trademark or rights to this. They cannot be sued if they represent Bitcoin in a bad light. They cannot be accused of product placement. I heard some rumors that Bitcoin is trademarked by mtgox :) |

Make sure you back up your wallet regularly! Unlike a bank account, nobody can help you if you lose access to your BTC.

Is the Bitcoin Logo patented?
Most certainly not. Patents grant a time-limited monopoly on the use of a novel, publicly dislcosed invention. Even if the concept of using logos for branding was once patentable, it no longer is, due to ample examples of "prior art." Trademarks on the other hand, grant an indefinite monopoly on the use of distinctive marks. They are designed to reduce confusion in the marketplace, such that you know whom takes responisibility for manufacturing a product. Copyright may also apply to the logo, but it is my understanding that it is under a relatively liberal public copyright license. |

Still around.

And I suspect he'll be telling all the viewers that bitcoin 'has none of the characteristics of a currency' http://it.twitter.com/#!/jimcramer/statuses/146790995416203264 ..which might be nice from a legal standpoint - not so much if we want a lot of ordinary people to set up a 'wallet'. A 'wallet' containing something totally not like a currency? Sounds like a hard thing to get anyone interested in. |

We should have some nice t-shirts printed that say "I Use Illegal Bitcoins." Bumper stickers, posters, the whole works.

Any significantly advanced cryptocurrency is indistinguishable from Ponzi Tulips.

Gold is still precious. |
