What better way to advertise Bitcoin than an billboard featuring an inside joke from a 2 year old Youtube meme?
Erik Voorhees has been one of Bitcoin’s biggest supporter, and probably the most well known since Bruce Wagner fell off the face of the earth. He’s been in the bitcoin game for a while and is the founder and CEO of Coinapult, a company that facilitates the transfer of bitcoins via SMS and email. He was formerly the marketing head for BitInstant and has been involved with SatoshiDICE, that Bitcoin gambling site that is killing bitcoin.
He’s decided that what bitcoin really needs to jumpstart this revolution is a small, crappy billboard in the middle of a strawberry field. A very obscure billboard actually.
If you don’t get it, don’t worry, even most bitcoiners don’t get the joke. It’s an inside joke, a call back to the closing line of this one-off bitcoin article on Forbes.
Either way, Bitcoin is the honey badger of currencies and the protocol rolls on.
If you still don’t know what the Honey Badger means, well that itself is referencing this Youtube meme that’s more than 2 years old now.
Very nice guys. If that’s not the best way to overthrow the Fed then I don’t know what is.
Apple announces the new Mac Pro, the best bitcoin miner ever created.
At least that’s what most bitcoiners think. Their brains have been permanently fried to the point where anything can be related to bitcoins if you look at it hard enough.
YOU CAN MINE SO MANY BITCOINS ON THIS MAC PRO

Bitcoiners fall for yet another blatantly obvious scam
I would like to introduce to you the “Cryonic FrostBit⢠Bitcoin Miner,” a device so revolutionary in the world of computing that its innovations could only be put to proper use in a bitcoin miner.
The Humble Indie Bundle Bitcoin experiment netted less than 0.1% of total sales
After the thrilling success of Reddit’s big Bitcoin bash, it’s no secret that the bitcoin economy is paper thin. Nevertheless, the Humble Indie Bundle was harassed enough by Reddit to decide to accept Bitcoins as payment. This was heralded as a “wonderful achievement” by the community and just more proof that Bitcoin’s economy was as strong as ever.
So how did they do? Not so well, actually.
A whopping 1/10th of a percent of sales. At least they were generous with their internet fun bux.
Use this one weird old tip by a single mom to save money while mining bitcoins.
Just stop!

Buttcoin turns 2 years old
Buttcoin has turned 2 years old today, outlasting every other bitcoin business except Mt. Gox and Blockchain.info.
Happy birthday to the best bitcoin website on the internet.
The internet reacts to Mt. Gox’s woes
It’s big news by now; the Magic: the Gathering Online eXchange (Mt. Gox) has had assets seized by ICE (a division of the DHS) due to flagrantly violating the law. This made the internet angry. Well, maybe not the whole internet, but enough of it is upset to give us something to point and laugh at.
Let’s get this party started by calling people Hitler:
I KNEW IT! DHS starts seizing bank accounts of BitCoin operators ala the 3rd Reich.TYRANNY!!! fb.me/17lToKaGC
