How about the possibility of a Bitcoin marketing campaign?

Hmm the thing is, associating it even more with "hack" and "scam" isn't really great marketing.

I tell you what: it has been working pretty well so far. Just about every year, this is exactly how Bitcoin is portrayed.

- Bitcoin is used for scams

- Bitcoin hacks

- Bitcoin used for illegal activity

All the meanwhile, more people become aware and interested.

These sort of events prime the "nocoiners" to read and understand that little bit more.

I like your thinking. This is a novel idea.
