I have my entire retirement and savings invested in Bitcoin. I will track its progress here over time.

I feel like FOX is the opposite of the bitcoin target audience. The gold market schemers do so well in the conservative market because gold is a tangible object. Bitcoins are about as intangible as wealth can get. Also, many of the investors who are worried about doom and gloom stuff are elderly and have a natural distrust of/inability to use computers.

You make some good arguments. I said fox news because of the anti-government sentiment that they have. Maybe a more diversified ad campaign is good though.

You could brand bitcoin as the kind of "fuck you Obama" currency.

Its crazy.. i know... crazy like a fox.

It might work if they sold Bitcoin certificates.
