ANNOUNCEMENT: I'M RETIRING THIS ACCOUNT

HERE'S WHY:

This year is a presidential election year in the USA. That means there will soon be political campaign signs *everywhere*

Later this year, you'll see political signs on your way to work, home, or school. You'll see political signs while sitting at traffic lights. You'll even see political signs in some people's yards.

IMAGINE if you could intercept the attention people place on these political campaign signs and redirect it to the most important topic of our time: #bitcoin

With that idea, VOTE FOR BETTER MONEY was born: a grassroots campaign to put "bitcoin campaign signs" in public leading up to this year's presidential election!

@VOTE FOR BETTER MONEY launched earlier this year on January 3 — Bitcoin's 15th birthday.

NOW, after 3 months of brainstorming and testing in the open right here on #Nostr, your feedback has brought me lots of clarity.

Rather than continuing this "bitcoin campaign signs" project under the (sometimes confusing) VOTE FOR BETTER MONEY brand, I'll instead be launching different #bitcoin campaign signs over on @bitcoin.rocks later this year. Just like the @bitcoin.rocks stickers, you'll be able to request a pack of bitcoin signs!

This account will no longer be active, and I'll no longer be mailing out VOTE FOR BETTER MONEY stickers or meetup boxes. The VOTE FOR BETTER MONEY website will remain active at least through the end of the year so the stickers and flyers you put in public thus far still offer content to people who scan the QR codes.

And don't worry — you can still request free bitcoin sticker packs from @bitcoin.rocks!

Since @bitcoin.rocks launched more than 2 years ago, I've mailed more than 51k stickers to dedicated plebs, bitcoin businesses, bitcoin meetups, bitcoin hubs (like @Bitcoin Park) and conferences. @Bitcoin Magazine has even put the stickers in some of their magazines!

IMAGINE how many #bitcoin campaign signs this community will put in public later this year. It's going to be EPIC! 😂

Thank you all so much for your support and detailed feedback. And thank you to everyone who uses these free tools to spread bitcoin adoption. None of this could exist without your support and direct involvement.

TL;DR

THIS ACCOUNT IS NO LONGER ACTIVE

BITCOIN CAMPAIGN SIGNS WILL STILL LAUNCH ON @bitcoin.rocks LATER THIS YEAR

YOU ALL ROCK 🧡

Even though I'm not in the USA, I think this idea and this project have just as much importance in Europe, with more and more politicians interested in technology and also the arrival of a digital euro. We need to vote for politician who offers more economic freedom and use more p2p and decentralize...

The goal of this project is to redirect the attention focused on the US Presidential Election to the topic of inflation & #bitcoin

This will mostly be accomplished in the later half of this year as we distribute yard signs that you can put up near other political signs.

QUESTION: Which do you like better as content for the sign?

OPTION 1: vote for better money

OPTION 2: got inflation? get bitcoin

Please let me know. Zaps for helpful feedback!

I think the inflation one, because inflation is at the forefront of most people's issues.
₿☻Ḷↁ · 99w
Vote for better money as it plays on the act of voting around an election year. Would be cool to come up with a version of the classic “I voted” sticker to drive curiosity

"Vote with your wallet, not with a ballot"
ew0k · 99w
Option 1 is more in line with a political race theme. Maybe throw in a “no tax on bitcoin/sound money” slogan somewhere
₿logging₿itcoin · 99w
I like "got inflation,” except I don't feel comfortable putting a sign with a bitcoin logo on my lawn.
AC · 99w
As someone committed to not voting ("if voting mattered, they wouldn't let us do it"), option 2 or a variant thereof. Inflation/gov debt is the main issue concerning Americans today. People are waking up to the fact that both political parties suck. got inflation? get bitcoin leave the National deb...

OPTION 2. Option 1 might encourage someone to vote, which would be abominable.
🐢 · 99w
Out of these, Option 2. Is also suggest a third option - New money, better country! Bitcoin!
RNDaly83 · 99w
People don’t always understand the link between money and inflation but they do understand that inflation is hurting them and questioning what could they do about it. I think 2 is best.

I'm not a fan of "vote for better money" because there's nothing to vote for on the ballot. Imagine... guy sees sign "hell yeah, I want better money, tell me what to vote on my ballot" "wait, there's nothing on the ballot for this? you want me to learn a new skill and gain new knowledge? I dunno...
𝔼𝕣𝕪𝕟 𝔹𝕣𝕒𝕔𝕔𝕠 · 99w
Option 2. I haven’t been the biggest fan of the VFBM slogan because Bitcoin doesn’t involve voting and voting will not (and should not) get us on a Bitcoin standard. Option 2 is both clear and realistic.
Filou · 99w
Vote for Better Money = this is political and you *can* do something about it more meaningful than voting at the polls.
Dan Wedge · 99w
Vote for better money sounds more hopeful
[ARCHIVED] Jay · 99w
For a sign people are driving by, I'd use Got Inflation? Get Bitcoin. Because there's no time to figure out that "better money" is referring to Bitcoin.
Car44 · 99w
I had a dream about a protest of X thousand people and they all had 'pump it up' signs and were dancing to the pump it meme song 😂
Moe OG · 99w
Option 2, "got inflation? get bitcoin," is definitely the way to go. It's concise, relatable, and provides a clear solution to a common problem. This approach directs attention to Bitcoin as a potential solution to inflation, making it more actionable and engaging for readers. On the other hand, "v...
ΛM · 99w
I think option 1 is better, it better captures the essence of the campaign, it is more striking in my opinion and most importantly: some still think that bitcoin is a ponzi, hearing the word scares them away 🤦‍♂️
Matt · 99w
That's one way to get bitcoin owners to mark themselves out publicly
DJ302 · 99w
I like both phrases. I’m thinking something like Vote for Better Money Bitcoin>Inflation I still think it would be useful to know which candidates are pro Bitcoin. Even just a list of candidates on your website that have come out as pro Bitcoin could help people with the voting for better money...

Hi & PV 🧡🫂✨🤙 I like a combination of these two. What's happening? = Got inflation? Do I have a choice? = Vote for better money! What can I actually do? = Get Bitcoin! Got inflation? Vote for better money! Get Bitcoin!
Duncan Cary Palmer · 99w
I for one love your "Vote for Better Money" concept. People think political voting gives them some kind of choice, but it's a deception, a total fraud to keep them spinning their wheels in the matrix... Your VFBM is just the right mental pivot to get them thinking... The trick on a sign will be t...

Red and blue are equally bad in their own different ways. I understand why bitcoiners don’t support Biden, but there seems to be a lot of Trumpiness in the bitcoin community that I really don’t get. Just bc Trump is anti Biden doesn’t make him a good choice. If only more people would accept th...
Orange🍊Man👤 · 101w
I'd stick with "Vote for Better Money." This format also synergizes well with the campaign's acronym "VFBM" for consistency purposes. However, I do think "Vote Orange" is impactful in the context of color analogies. Given this perspective, perhaps now you have another sticker idea? 😉
Dr. Hax · 101w
That's a pretty good comparison. If I saw a sticker that said "vote green" I would have a pretty good idea of what it meant. It's still the traditional kind of voting, not direct action, but I think the wording can work here.

I'm working on a refresh of this project and need your feedback!

The refresh includes a new logo with a simplified name and something I'm really excited about: STICKER TAPE!

You'll be able to request a free roll of sticker tape. Unroll whatever length you want — from short to super long!

What do you think?

I like the colors and the easier to read font. I feel like it needs a "for", "with", "using" or something in there. We don't need the extra word, but we are not the target audience. I feel like the extra word hints that we're not suggesting that you vote for some politician who is going to fix the...

LFG! Love the incorporation of orange and the tape. Maybe not as durable but definitely more flexible! Can’t wait to get my hands on a roll. 🧡🫡
FiddleHodlHomestead · 101w
My guess is that people who are not on Nostr need that "for" in there.

Maybe a bit space in between every block with text? So when you cut you can also use it easily for separate stickers? Now this is hard to device from each other
shyguy · 101w
I like this a lot. Vote orange.
Trey · 101w
I may just be biased to the original version b/c it is the original, but leaving out the “for” seems awkward. I still get it and think it’ll be just as effective, but it’s hard for me not to want to say “for”. “Vote better” & Vote orange” flow off the tongue nicely, especially if ...
