Invocation № 2

Not presently assigned to a Collection

Ira (bearbones) and I were chatting today. We've come up with a new slogan which should be made the official slogan of Bitcoin: Bitcoin Magic Computer Money So the new strategy is that whenever you're introducing Bitcoin to someone, don't try to explain how it works, or why it's so amazing. Just say, "it's magic computer money." Also, when users open up the Satoshi desktop client software, there should be a new splash screen that flashes black and yellow real fast for about 5 seconds and it should say "MAGIC COMPUTER MONEY" Thoughts?

The Invocation

This public post uses the direct precursor “Magic Computer Money,” not the exact phrase. Voorhees explicitly says that he and Ira, identified parenthetically by the Bitcointalk name bearbones, developed the proposed slogan in a conversation that day. The invocation records Voorhees as the author of the public statement while preserving that co-origin claim. It documents wording only, not endorsement of any later token or project.

No claim of endorsement or affiliation is made or implied by inclusion in the Hall.
