Telegraph, Union Leader Report on Keene Bitcoin Network

BitcoinI didn’t even send out a press release for it, but a recent post here announcing the Keene Bitcoin Network facebook group has resulted in the story being picked up by both the Union Leader (their NewHampshire.com division linked the story here) and the Nashua Telegraph. The Telegraph’s David Brooks of the “Granite Geek” column took the time to write up an original piece about the network.

Thanks for the coverage. Just for the record, Bitcoin isn’t new to the liberty community – the Free State Project’s Porcfest 2012 was reported as the biggest Bitcoin event in the world, with vendors across the campground accepting Bitcoin as payment for a variety of goods.

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!
