I'm a faucet owner (see the link in my sig if you're interested) hoping to help people get started in the world of Bitcoin.

I also spend alot of time educating people in real-life about the advantages of bitcoin as a currency. Don't know if this counts but in my mind it does.

I intend to do more soon once I get a bit better at HTML, CSS and javascript.

Here is some of my contributions...

1. I identify the trolls and shills on websites and expose them with the truth.
2. I run a BTC Node
3. I help newbies by sharing my experience and knowledge I accuired over time.
4. We are busy working on a NEW Bitcoin faucet for charity.
5. I used to mine, when things was easier.. but gave up on that idea. { I came in too late }
6. I am a forum moderator on a site promoting Crypto currencies
7. I visit merchants and vendors on a daily basis to assist them with knowledge to accept Bitcoin as a payment method.
8. We constantly search for the truth and ways to improve the Bitcoin community. {Identifying scams}

And then I have my normal work and responsibilities.  Wink

Wow thats a nice contribution, i like the fact that you go to small vendors informing them about bitcoin as a payment method.

That really helps alot, if they just accept bitcoin as a bonus payment or for tips around restaurant, or even as normal payments, they just put out a logo on their store that "Bitconi is Accepted here" and you will see many people becoming curious about it.

I think many guys should do the same.

It seems to me that the Bitlicense and other regulations in the USA are halting the Bitcoin's progress, we can already see that now in the price, down 10€ since i started this thread Sad

But dont give up, spread the word, in your country. Especially if you live in Africa or South America, those are the best places to use Bitcoin because it can help poor people economically Smiley

Unbelievable, I`m making Bitcoin mainstream single handed, look at my twitter campaign:

https://twitter.com/RealBitcoinBlog/status/598486621240094721

Over 762 retweets (with users of 30,000-40,000 followers , around the world) and 112 favorites. I love the power of social media, it's spreading exponentially.

Thats about 20,000,000 views.

So you can thank me later guys. Also, please you guys should use social media too, its a very efficient way to spread the word.  Smiley

Nothing very meaningful, but have made a few contributions:

1. I run a faucet, http://bitcoinshowers.com, that helps newbies get and play around with their first satoshis
2. I don't spread FUD around, by not screaming at people to sell just because the bitcoin price is slightly lower than before.

I'm currently working on a crypto supported t-shirt company. The idea will be to allow people to submit designs and I'll create the shirts and package them. I hope my contribution is the fact I accept a lot of alt-cons and of course Bitcoins.  Grin

Like spreadshirts or similar? It sounds interesting, i had friend in my old town who did the same, for a living. I`m sure many people would be interested in it via crypto.

3. I loan some people to help them in their project
4. I try to build a new kind of hardware wallet: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/delete-1063284
4. Some loans to friends that are new in bitcoin

A hardware wallet is a good idea, keep rising the competition.

Also loans are good because it increases demand for BTC.

Good job everyone.

Also my twitter post has now over 520 re-shares, it is going viral, and alot of people will be interested in Bitcoin Smiley

My contribution to Bitcoin ecosystem is using Bitcoin daily as payment system for web-based services like webhosting or buying stuff by exchanging Bitcoin against coupons and stuff like that.

Yes thank you in the name of Bitcoin, that is a nice help for bitcoin.


I`m expending my promotion to twitter:

https://twitter.com/RealBitcoinBlog/status/598486621240094721

As you can see , as of now it has 160 retweets, perhaps more if you watch this later, you guys can retweet it too, let the message spread about Bitcoin!

I would like to see all social media sites promoting bitcoin hard!

It has reached over 350 retweets now, and my other faucet blog over 88000 views, so the word is getting out there.

Please help spread the word about bitcoin and do whatever you can to help bitcoin. Anything small or anything big is the same importance, just do whatever you can, and keep faith in Bitcoin  Smiley

Nothing meaningful yet. Hopefully i can contribute something useful in my time here, but i haven't discovered it yet.

Find your talents, and your strong points, then work around that and try to bring those talents in the bitcoin world. For example if you were good at painting, you could make paintings about bitcoin and sell them in bitcoin.

So the key is find out what you are good in and bring that into bitcoin.

SEC EDGAR filings would be one way to get them on the record under penalty of perjury. Anyways, I hold.

Those filings don't seem to reveal the exact number of bitcoins held by a company - just the amount of $ per asset type. Any company that wants to make a meaningful contribution to this economy will pay some employees (partly) in Bitcoin or even pay some business partners in Bitcoin - so a lower number in Bitcoin assets could be a positive sign.

They should start including Bitcoin Assets & accounts into accounting, that would make things more transparent.

IIRC, some of the Overstock filings said that less than 100% of BTC revenue was being immediately converted to USD.

Not spending BTC where it will be immediately converted to fiat to tank the market price.

I wouldn't make decisions based on that. One company could tell you that they're keeping BTC, but actually selling it without your knowledge -- another company might keep them, but doesn't make that public.

BitPay, Coinbase, et al, are welcome to let their business customers toggle a "{this percentage} of your BTC will not be converted to fiat" display for their shopping cart/checkout pages.
