Tue Mar 24 07:17:44 UTC 2015 <brendafdez> I told you i wasn't even breaking even :P ask the FBA guys, they got funded in late 2012 to do it, and a few who suck theirs get a small part of the cake
Tue Mar 24 07:17:03 UTC 2015 <brendafdez> why do we need more companies 'accepting bitcoin'? No, really, why? http://www.contravex.com/2014/02/25/matters-of-bitcoin-merchant-adoption/
Tue Mar 24 07:14:44 UTC 2015 <brendafdez> the point about evangelism is that if you suck the right cock you may make a living out of it. I'm not naming names
Tue Mar 24 07:13:42 UTC 2015 <brendafdez> The whole 'evangelism' thing is bullshit, but there are incentives to do it, companies paying for it, who get their money from vcs and desperately need adoption, users, whatever
Tue Mar 24 07:12:07 UTC 2015 <brendafdez> selling the campanies the idea that you'll be selling them with bitcoin to people who attend the talks/conferences/etc
Tue Mar 24 07:11:16 UTC 2015 <brendafdez> I wanted to write an article on 'bitcon evangelism' or 'selling bitcoin', which of course is selling it to the companies not the people :P
Tue Mar 24 07:06:45 UTC 2015 <brendafdez> but also it was always open to people who wanted to come with us. As generally we weren't even covering the costs, having more poeple participate usually meant each one had to pay a smaller fraction, usually less money.

Tue Mar 24 07:02:59 UTC 2015 <brendafdez> through sponsors, we had some of them, bitpagos sponsored every trip, digicoins sponsored the trip to mendoza, beOk sponsored the trip to paraguay
Tue Mar 24 07:02:10 UTC 2015 <brendafdez> it was awesome for us as an experience I must say, getting to know the local communites, to travel so much, also to be able to promote one 'real use case' for bitcoin to local service providers
Tue Mar 24 07:01:19 UTC 2015 <brendafdez> but who know, neither me nor the other 3 'founders' have buried it, so...
Tue Mar 24 07:00:50 UTC 2015 <brendafdez> When we presented our project as an independent bunch of guys it wasn't the same.
Tue Mar 24 07:00:23 UTC 2015 <brendafdez> This brings us to another issue which is the way the 'foundations' present themselves as as sort of official representation of bitcoin. That way they are better able to get funds from companies which want to be advertised and from membes of the community who want to 'be part of bitcoin'. It's what the FBA was/is doing and what the BF was/is doing on a much larger scale.
Tue Mar 24 06:58:27 UTC 2015 <brendafdez> well, i don't have plans, but it may happen. The last trip we made as part of the Giras Bitcoiners project was Asunción in Paraguay last December. The funding issue wasn't getting better. Only one of the trips allowed us to break even.
