Send Obama a bitcoin and let him mention it on tv.

Nice, but how do we get him a wallet address?  Tongue

You could send Obama a tip on @changetip.  They will set up a wallet for his twitter account, which he can claim if he chooses.



Nice! I just signed in and they gave me 50c for free. If many of us tip the same person it might get attention. I what about Colbert or similar? I'd imagine he'd be more open to mentioning it and getting some more momentum with it?

@madbitcoins tried to get a mass tipping to Youtube celebrity Jenna Marbles a couple of weeks ago.  She didn't respond/collect the bitcoins and after a while it looked like borderline Internet stalking.  I'm not sure any celebrities (other than some of the more tech savvy like Tim Farris, Mark Cuban, etc.) will take the tip and start talking about it.  Joe Rogan has had two podcasts on it, but that was back when it was over $800.
