Good job although the order of words in the URL seems odd to me. whybitcoinisntworthless.com sounds better IMO.
Think, "Why is this useless monopoly money still worth anything? Why hasn't it crashed to zero yet?"
I couldn't think of a domain name that wouldn't end up being too long.

Another point: You can use your address as your proof of identity for any membership program-just sign a message. The financial industry has tried unsuccessfully to implement things like "one card, everywhere", now with Bitcoin, the infrastructure is already there, and you can do it without giving away your privacy.
Oh yeah, it can even be used as some sort of decentralized OpenID!

Likewise! Hoping you're GayforBTC at this point, though, instead of just BTCurious

Whipped this thing up during the Bitcoin Conference 2013, somewhere between the Tradehill party and just now:

Very nice job! The ideological reasons many of us usually fall back on are, IMHO, the reason we sometimes come across looking like proselytizers. Having some good, hard, indisputable characteristics to point to that address some serious issues outside of BitcoinLand will help dispel the impression that Bitcoin is a ponzi/pyramid/scam.

Nice! Reminds me of http://whatthefuckhasobamadonesofar.com/ (Not making any comments on my opinion of obama, and would rather keep this thread on-topic. Just think the concept of the sites are cool.)
This was inspired by that, along with some more trolly comments I have received last Friday.
Suggestion: put in a FB "like" or equivalent hooks to make it easy to get the word out to the Great Unwashed.
No clue how to. But feel free to share it to your friends!

Very nice. I tried to break it of course. One time it seemed to be very robust and willing to go forever (Cyprus * 8 at least). Another time it just stopped responding with no text in the window - not sure why.

Need more data inside.

The one that just says "Cyprus" isn't very useful if you haven't been following world financial/political news, like the people I want to send this link to. Could you expand that one, and add some explanation? Thanks
