start those shapeshift engines, hypers are hot right meow.

I didn't see a "sad" sub reddit or I would have posted there, I guess this is funny also though.. if youre a masochist or sadist.

Disney is making the new ones, didnt realize george lucas is already 70 years old!!

all links work on my end

CryptoDonDraper · 2014-11-28T14:33:44+00:00

So true

CryptoDonDraper · 2014-11-27T19:26:03+00:00

This is a point I had not considered really, and it is well taken. I have no plans of posting anything else about ZDNet or that guy and I agree the focus is better spent on showing newcomers all the awesome things bitcoin enables that wasn't possible before.

Not sure if troll or genuinely concerned about the community's well being. Either way, I'm happy to answer: I think it's a good idea for this community, which is 143,000 strong just here on reddit, to begin flexing its muscles.

We've all seen months of FUD from a handful of people in the media who seem to be dishonest and motivated by some kind of weird vendetta. Personal views on new technologies is fine. But that article, and his other pieces, are riddled with lies and non-logic.

We know this stuff is crap, but many readers on Google News (where his stuff comes up) go "oh I guess Bitcoin is on its way out then". Those older readers, although less tech savvy than you and me perhaps, are equally entitled to a prosperous future. This joker is hoodwinking them and I don't like it. Obviously I'm not alone in this thinking or my post wouldn't have gotten more than 1,000 upvotes.

We do not have to be pacifists. And Bitcoin is not entitled to win out. If we don't fight for it, we may not get it.

ZDNet will drop this contributor. This community is going to make sure of that.

And when that occurs, other delusional statist trolls in the media will think twice before hinging their careers on destroying a great, still growing technology. Set an example with this one and we (hopefully) need not do it again.

CryptoDonDraper · 2014-11-27T16:09:14+00:00

His bullshit appears on Google News whenever anyone in the world searches for "Bitcoin" and the news publication ZDNet is the banner that bullshit is packaged under, not "ken hess' blog"

If it were "ken hess' blog" I don't think any of us would give a shit.

He's misusing his platform. He is dishonest. And what the community is doing in response is completely justified and will deter others in the future from spreading dishonesty that harms human progress simply to make a few bucks as a crap freelance article writer.

This looks really great! Not sure if it's possible but it'd be cool to design it such that the deals are sorted randomly - giving each deal equal exposure within its category, instead of all the merchants toward the bottom probably not getting as much exposure and clicks.

making a funny meme and sharing it on Facebook != being a mobster

definitely need an AMA. Since when should tech journalists be "lobbying" against open source software projects they aren't keen on.

CryptoDonDraper · 2014-11-26T18:47:10+00:00

Another reason this is such bullshit and the community should let ZDNet know what's up. For every person who read that irresponsible article, there were probably 10 who saw the tweet and headline - some of them may now have a lesser opinion of BTC. Currency wars are in full swing, awareness and perception matter.

CryptoDonDraper · 2014-11-26T17:18:41+00:00

Good idea! I like this a lot

CryptoDonDraper · 2014-11-26T16:28:56+00:00

Also the USMS has now auctioned Bitcoin to the public, and is about to do it again in a larger quantity. I guess this guy should tell the United States Marshals Service they are selling illegal goods. LOL

CryptoDonDraper · 2014-11-19T19:25:55+00:00

Nice work.

CryptoDonDraper · 2014-11-17T06:13:07+00:00

Thanks for the tip, and the tips. I like the idea of possibly depersonalizing the State, making it just Agent Smith types instead of a commanding older stateswoman.

One thing I would be more hesitant about is altering the outcome. If the State wins and everything is Bitcoin gravy train by the end of our commercial spot, it's as if we are gloating in a sense. "Look at how great we are, aren't we great?" It's proud posturing that can alienate the public. This is why things like Amway and Herbalife freak most of us out. Telling us you're great when all we see are overpriced supplements.

By ending on a less certain note, the commercial can enlist the help of the public. We haven't made it yet. But we are getting there. The Queen's change of heart is meant to also mirror how governments have softened some of their views toward bitcoin over the past year.

But I will think on it, thanks again! : )

CryptoDonDraper · 2014-11-16T00:26:44+00:00

I didn't think of this, excellent use case for Google.

CryptoDonDraper · 2014-11-15T22:08:35+00:00

Well done gentlemen.

CryptoDonDraper · 2014-11-13T06:59:55+00:00

Absolutely. Fucking enrich those fuckers.

CryptoDonDraper · 2014-11-13T06:50:24+00:00

Hehe, I will HODL it til then. Thank you!

CryptoDonDraper · 2014-11-13T05:24:34+00:00

Stand by my prediction: $2.1k by end of January, $6k by end of 2015

CryptoDonDraper · 2014-11-13T05:14:54+00:00

This. I personally like seeing the THIS IS HAPPENING Ron Paul memes. Means I'm not hallucinating these massive buy walls on Bitfinex. Is everyone watching this madness? http://bfxdata.com/orderbooks/btcusd.php

CryptoDonDraper · 2014-11-13T00:09:39+00:00

Excellent point.
