Announcing the Keene Bitcoin Network!

icon_bitcoin_large1[1]Bitcoin is the dollar-killer. It’s easily the best, most popular alternative currency in the world. It’s also the most valuable of all the world’s currencies. No wonder Keene businesses are taking notice. (Haven’t heard of it or want to learn more? Visit WeUseCoins.com)

In order to further facilitate people who buy and sell with Bitcoin coming together in the area, the Keene Bitcoin Network has been launched! Right now it is just a facebook group, but bigger things are being plotted.

Bitcoin can help strengthen the local economy by avoiding pesky taxes, since it’s essentially a barter as far as the government knows (if they can even understand it). Not only that, it could also be considered an investment that may help you fight the weakening effects of inflation.

So, drop in and say hello at the new Keene Bitcoin Network! When you are added to the group, feel free to post your business if you are accepting Bitcoins in Keene!

Blue Hampshire Blogger Calls FSP Participants “Cult Members”, Fears We’ll “Eliminate our State Government”

There are no rituals. We use plain english to describe the aggression of the state. You statists don’t like it when we call a spade a spade, though. Some people can’t stand it when the violence of the state is shown for all to see, which we do on a regular basis here at Free Keene. (more…)
