Something is happening right now that I want to bring to everyone's attention. Maybe it's already out there so if it is please alert me.
You are all probably aware of the PayPay road trip? There's an excellent story linked from Bitcoin Watch here:
http://www.bitcoinmoney.com/post/7542341527/paypal-digital-currency-challengePayPal is attempting to trump Plato's road trip in an egregious yet subtle way. I didn't put much thought into it initially until I realized they were using the words "digital currency". Obviously this is propaganda warfare and therefore we must pick up our axes (or any other weapon of choice, mine's the keyboard!).
If they can get enough media attention directed towards this (and you know the "establishment" will support them) they can bump Plato's story down the list significantly on any major search engine out there.
Anyone who types "digital currency" in Google will find Paypal, not BTC. I think this is their goal.
We need to support ideas like this
http://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=28397.0 and get Plato's story out there a little more. Hey maybe we create a Pilgramage Route for others to follow!!! Tell me that wouldn't get news!!

PayPal Attempts Its Own "Bitcoin RoadTrip" edit: that's not working well, any help?
Ideas, suggestions?
"Anyone who types "digital currency" in Google will find Paypal, not BTC."
I did just that, and guess what. Bitcoin is #3 on the first page. It's #1 if you search "new digital currency", which is not outside the realm of possibility as a semi-common long tail keyword (phrase) search.
This is my 100th post on this forum. If my calculations are correct, I'm now a full member. Hopefully, my entelligence continues to shine through in each additional posting.
