Can someone please make a meme with the dialog at the end starting with the "I bought a bitcoin" line? TIA
If not, I'll do it tomorrow when I have time.

When you add that last line everyone will just wait for you to make it Wink

it took exactly 23 minutes after the show ended for a merchant sign up for Bit-Pay after doing a google search after the show. Once he is up and running, I will tell you who it is

Is there anything new on this merchant?

retrettably, no. I just sent another email to them to follow up and see if they have any questions.

So many of the usual Good Wife fans and reviewers didn't seem all that enthused about the bitcoin subject,
but judging by the 3 articles I linked to sequentially here: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.701747
it might be that the show gave bitcoin a fair bit of exposure to various legal professionals.
That's a pretty good outcome in itself I reckon.

For the regular viewers interested in the soap-opera storylines of the show, there wasn't much drama for them.

For the legal enthusiasts and techies, it was great!

Just a thought for cascasius maybe... how about a batch of coins with the phrase Verus Mutator, which in English means: Real has Changed :-)

This will stay as a rumor. It was only a clueless support person, they are not really planning on adding Bitcoin as a payment option.

Interestingly, in the Good Wife episode, it was testified in court that Amazon accepts Bitcoin. Amazon Execs should watch it

I'm sure we'll eventually find an office to send some coffee to, so I'm going to post an address now to take advantage of this momentum: 1DBn9P7cUbJL3RAstEw5sG7skeJgHg1Xg6

I'll send some high end coffee, some decaf, tea, and a mug or two with a tactful card saying thank you and that these products were bought using bitcoins.

I sent a coin to support this.

I'll donate something toward this package as well. We just need someone to organize it.

+1 I will throw in a coin. This episode could have been very bad for Bitcoin. I am glad they stayed "neutral" and presented it facutally (granted in a fictional setting).

Rock on, that makes what, 6~ of us then, so far?

Just as soon as I can get a concrete delivery address for them I will either start up a pool for us or see if Edd will. I've got some work here at the office but will try to sit at the phone to call a few more places this afternoon and get back with some info.

cheers,

Keep in mind, it could have also been due to your appearance at CES.

Well, this particular merchant, on his application, specifically said he heard about Bitcoin on the Good Wife and googled it

hmm any news on this merchant?

+1 I'll throw in a couple also. D&T states it eloquently - the more positive/neutral exposure BTC gets, the less digging out from under FUD we have to manage in the future (and it will come commensurate with the rise in popularity/success)

Much agreed, and thanks. =)

Stalker Update; UGGG, I would make one horrible stalker. Culver Studios informed me that the King's office did not have an extension and they were unable to give out any other contact information. :/
midEdit; I was able to track down their home address and a phone number. I feel creepy calling them and would be happy to have someone else do it. ;p I will not post the info here so PM me if you are interested...

cheers,
Derek

My co worker just had a very excited conversation with me about the Good Wife and he is thrilled that BTC is a real thing. If I tried to talk to my co workers about BTC before they thought I was crazy. Now its real to them.

Real friend tells you about Bitcoin. Friend is crazy, Bitcoin is fake money.

Fictional show tells you about Bitcoin. Bitcoin is real, and I need it!

A quote from the show, "Only in America is greater abstraction more desirable."

Ha.

So fucking true.
