Daily diary of what's happening with Bitcoin.
Free State Project participant and serial bitcoin entrepreneur Erik Voorhees (@ErikVoorhees) reports on how Bitcoin was a big part of this year’s Porcupine Freedom Festival. Excerpts:
“Dozens of people registered for PorcFest with Bitcoin (myself included), and this set the tone for the whole event. ‘Bitcoin accepted here’ should’ve been the subheading on this year’s program.”
“Bernanke’s Bitcoin Exchange was a fully-functional trade and educational hub, buying and selling Bitcoin for fiat with a spread of 3%, hooking up new people with Bitcoin Spinner and Blockchain.info’s App on their phones, and educating the masses on proper wallet safety.”
“‘We’re actually reconstructing an entire financial system from right here on our laptop with a $50 Verizon Mifi.’ Indeed, we just plugged the largest libertarian camping festival of the year into the global high-tech Bitcoin forex network, and the government hadn’t a clue what was going on.”
“Transacting for physical goods, in a remote corner of New Hampshire’s beautiful wilderness… well, that lent a certain ‘meatspace cred’ that we can’t wait to replicate all over the world.”
