If breaking the laws about destruction of currency is too much for you - or if you really can't bear to part with a few dollars - burning some scraps of paper with dollar signs etc written on them would be good enough!

If burning a piece of your own fiat currency is too heavy for you because the government doesn't approve, then you might want to avoid Bitcoin entirely Wink

Well the problem I have with burning fiat currency is that being an act of quantitative tightening, it makes other fiat instances ever so slightly more valuable!

Perhaps fake-note burning really is too tame for a Bitcoin celebration, but I was thinking of grandma & the kids.. and how to celebrate inclusively without too much shock value.
Hmm.. how pussyish of me!

If you place Australian notes in a 200 C oven do they shrink to mini notes? You could then deface currency and have a half sized note at the same time.

Let us know how it goes. Instructions for doing this with chip packets here: http://www.madaboutscience.com.au/store/index.php?main_page=page&id=45

Do they blend ? Yes they do!!

I support freedom of choice

It would be cool to have many photos where different people have a burning fiat in their hand Wink

Perfect marketing: "Why are all these idiots burning their money? Why are they so happy?" -> Bitcoin ...

I think we definitely should issue overpriced securities and ignore obvious problems with our old sites that get left ignored for weeks without explanation.

Quality Printing Services by Federal Reserve Bank

Here is "ritual" for you: How about spending few coins on actual service or buying some goods?
Pissing your coin away in some gambling site is not helping BTC economy at all.

So late tonight (here in Macau) we will be celebrating the block reward halving. This is of course a very momentous milestone for Bitcoin.

We were brainstorming that it'd be fun to have certain traditions or rituals on this day, celebrated every four years. Since this is the first one, it's probably appropriate to start some of these rituals!

One thing we'll likely do here is set aflame some fiat currency. We may also "destroy" a Satoshi... send it to an address that we cannot reclaim, as a sacrifice to our great Creator.

What other fun traditions should be started?

Perhaps no?

Not exactly wanting to make bitcoin nor its creator a "GOD".

Rituals? Wtf?

Sacrifice?

Our creator?

Probably the dumbest post I have seen on this forum.

"hey let's worship bitcoin and Satoshi and dance around a camp fire with woven grass skirts while howling like Native Americans"

Easy on the weed and crack bro lol

I love the idea of burning some traditional currency!
It's sure to be against the law in pretty much every jurisdiction - but it seems a pretty cool way to celebrate.

I'm not sure what happens to the Australian polymer notes when you try to burn them.. I suspect they shrivel and/or melt.
