Topic: <Bounty> 1 BTC for the least worded T-Shirt - page 3. (Read 9894 times)
I like it, but it is too "insider" for people to get. I would like to see it across the back in a tat-style design.
I'm not seeking a bounty, but wanted to try something I came up with before I read this thread, because I'm generalizing a process that I see happening in the forums.
Bitcoin records pseudonymous payments into a permanent non-corruptible public ledger for free.
I suppose a shirt with that on it might be a bit embarrassing to wear except to an engineering or other nerd-type convention. That sentence is now in the public domain.

Power to the people?
Yeah, I thought that too, but went with "Worldwide Money" as I thought it sounded a bit more down-to-earth. "Global Currency" sounds like a global-government thing IMHO - at a time when distrust of banks and international organisations is pretty low, I figured it was best to avoid things that sounded like them.
Also people see "currency" as something other than what they can spend right now. Which is kind of true-ish here, but no point in putting people off unnecessarily
"Money" feels more practical.Having said all that, I'll knock up a "Global currency" one some time soon, if people like it.
Bitcoin, because paypal isn't your friend
the BTC might be a little large. but you can design your own here: http://bitcoin.spreadshirt.com/
unfortunately no paying with bitcoins
Lol, but Paypal, Moneybookers, Liberty Reserve, all replace paper money.
Not really. Paper money is more-or-less anonymous and decentralized, and so is Bitcoin.
Centralized services cannot offer anonymity of that kind. They are more like an internetsy version of electronic money, but NOT paper money replacement.
Not really anything that gets the onlookers attention tbh or make them want to look up BTC.
Yep maybe it is a bit too subtle, but on the other hand comparing Bitcoin to PayPal is just distasteful IMHO.
Yeah :/ , I would of done something different but all I read from the main post was "make a shirt that is similar to this one" and it was about Paypal D: lol.

Just picked up this thread, hope it's not too late to join in. Having a quick think about what might attract people's attention while getting the basic message across, here's a first stab:
Partly depends on who the audience is I guess...

Love it. On the back I might want something like:
BTC an idea too big to fail.
That is a phrase associated with bailing out banks and has a negative connotation.BTC an idea too big to fail.

I guess it's time to wind this little contest down. But before I do, how about one more submission?
Okay, one to win this thing...

Inspired by the above post from the thread entitled What is Bitcoin? (In 21 words), I offer up the following challenge.
I will pay BTC1 to the person whom best my 14 word submission on a Tee depicted in the image below the rules.
Hopefully, there'll be no need to modify the rules above, but I reserve the right to amend them. Fear not, for I've proven to be über fair.

I will pay BTC1 to the person whom best my 14 word submission on a Tee depicted in the image below the rules.
- Must contain 14 words or less, explaining Bitcoin to the masses in a concise way.
- Must be grammatically correct.
- Must be written in E-Prime.
- Must be presented as an image of a Tee (or similar) with the wording legible (no funky font).
- The use of a Bitcoin symbol is preferred but not mandatory.
- Based on at least 10 different members submitting at least one design (multiple submissions allowed).
- Feel free to even improve upon my submission.
- Time frame will be 7 days.
- Judging will be solely by me, but will give considerable weight to comments on quality submissions.
Hopefully, there'll be no need to modify the rules above, but I reserve the right to amend them. Fear not, for I've proven to be über fair.

This one is truly awesome. This metaphor captures pretty much all traits of bitcoin (perhaps, in a subtle way) except limited coinage. But perhaps even that is hinted by gold hue of the logo, although it's a bit too subtle, I guess.
