A separate post is warranted for this submission.

Did you steal this from somewhere? I love this shirt, but it's more of a slogan/motto. I'm going to include it in Post #2 of this thread nontheless. The only major thing I would like to see changed is the Bitcoin logo. Some logo with the word Bitcoin incorporated in it would be great in my eyes.

This fuckin' thread has now turned into a job, one of which I don't get paid, but have to pay out.  Wink

But I'm up to the task nonetheless. Allow me now time to address the posts since the last time I was here.

To make my task a tad simpler, I'll add the the ones to Post #2 meeting the criteria, and comment on the ones falling short as well as answer any questions.

Damn close, but you broke one of the rules. Can you figure out which one? (not being an ass toward you, bud) I like it, but can't add, for I would surely be called out for adding a submission incorporating an infringement.

That would be the E-Prime rule. I could modify it to meet that rule but it'd be half as witty. Why is E-Prime important here? Would be good if this could be discussed...

Oh and possibly because if Bitcoin counts as a word itself we're up to 15 - not sure if that's it?

I'm just hooked on E-Prime: Some scholars advocate using E-Prime as a device to clarify thinking and strengthen writing. For example, the sentence "the film was good" could translate into E-Prime as "I liked the film" or as "the film made me laugh". The E-Prime versions communicate the speaker's experience rather than judgment, making it harder for the writer or reader to confuse opinion with fact.





I'm including the above image, although it borders on being a slogan.



Also including this one, although structured as a sentence would have been more acceptable.


I'll give it another try:



Included for now, but PayPal is one word and not Pay pals. Redo, so I can change the pic in Post #2.

Entry outside the competition and a bit more provocative



I like this, but there's that word 'is' again. I'm going to do a mock-up based on this and submit in your name.

Here's your submission:

This probably won't work for you since it's a bit more slogan/motto-y than what I think you're looking for, but I figured I'd toss it in anyways.

bitcoin is much like paypal for payment transfer but the fee's are ALOT smaller and not regulated/controlled by one company.

21 words i think  Grin

Must be grammatically correct.

Can certainly be improved in terms of artwork on the tee...

Rather than trying to explain it, why not go for brand awareness and have something simple like:

Bitcoin is money

Your idea is in the slogan/motto range, while we're trying to explain what is Bitcoin to the masses in as few words as possible.
