Topic: Bitcoin guerrilla marketing on paper money (Read 15306 times)
That's so simple yet so cool it's ingenious, wonder why no one has though about this before.
Bitcoin marketing a la "Where's George?" I love it.
I endorse this product and/or service.

Damnit, someone ruined itstimeforplanb.com
Nice one from Reddit just now, "It's time for Plan B":
I hope somebody recognizes the business opportunity for mass-producing rubber stamps like this and selling them for BTC... I for one would like to buy some!

Don't give up! I'm still doing it 
Great idea will definitely be doing this with American USD
I wish I'd seen one of these a year ago and got into bitcoin sooner ! So the lesson is keep doing it
You guys really need to think things through more before you act lol! 
While giving these to people helps spread the word, some may object to defaced money.
I just checked my wallet. Someone has already defaced my money! "Federal Reserve Note"? And it looks like somebody else added some kind of religious message? WTF?
This cost all of $6 on ebay (free shipping even) :
LOL way cool!
This is a great way to get people to think Bitcoin is a joke by some teenagers...
Maybe for stupid people but this is also a great way to attract more curious ones.

My stamps came in last week:
So far I've put at least 15 into circulation, zero hassle from merchants.

Please excuse me (instead of attack me) if I’m wrong but isn’t it illegal everywhere to deface money? You are all posting pictures with the money you have defaced. If some government had a pet peeve against Bitcoin they might want to come after you to set an example. Or do you guys just think this is so unlikely that you’re going to do it anyway?
Not illegal in Canada 
Ah, that’s why I don’t see any US dollars in this thread. I just thought the laws might be similar. They do it on dollars too with the “Where’s George” thing but that’s just for laughs. It’s not like Bitcoin where some government might want to get revenge on a person using some obscure law. Thanks!
Once upon a time in Orlando there was a head shop that sold stamps and green inked pads for putting a speech bubble above Washington's head on the $1 note that read "I grew hemp". All the ones coming out of their till as change to customers were stamped. They never had a problem.
Saw it on reddit but this is pretty stupid really. People will think BTC is just a childish currency with anarchists or what.
This is not new, I remember in the 1990s GG Allin had his fans write 'GG Allin' on every bank note they could find. There was also a track this dollar bill website where you would write on the bill the website address, then enter the serial number to see where it has been and add your own info. I think the page was shutdown as apparently it is illegal to deface currency.
Also in Canada there was the give the Queen a hitler moustache minor movement for awhile
EDIT.. guess this isn't illegal sites are still up
