2009/2010 Bitcoin mail-order source (Dallas publication?)

[AlwaysGiveThanks]

Hello,

I’m trying to identify a possible 2009/2010 Bitcoin-era mail-order source that may have been connected to
New Liberty Standard or a similar very early Bitcoin operation.

The lead appears to have come from a Dallas-area free print publication that discussed Bitcoin, the financial crisis, and how Bitcoin could be acquired by mail through a name and likely a P.O. Box.

The period I’m trying to narrow down is when Bitcoin was roughly in the $0.003–$0.006 range.

My main goal is to identify the publication itself and obtain a copy of that issue, or at least the publication name and approximate date.

If anyone from the early Bitcoin era remembers:

- any individuals or services offering Bitcoin by mail or check
- any references to Bitcoin in free print publications
- or any Dallas-area newspaper-style / rack-distributed publications that may have covered Bitcoin that early

…I’d really appreciate any clues, names, issue dates, or direction.

Thank you.
C.M

Thank you for posting this, those numbers are truly stunning! "$1.00 buys 1309.03 BTC" makes Bitcoin Pizza Day look like the person who ate dinner got a great deal.
