The HOT NEW THING in peer-to-peer crypto-currency! Bitcoins are currency backed by math! It's like the gold standard, but instead of beardy prospectors, we use video cards!!! Everybody freak out, it's the Cryptonomicon come to life! It's like Lindens, but without the doll clothes! It's the most dangerous open-source project in the history of electrons!

When folks ask you, with a confused look, "So... what are bitcoins good for?" you can point proudly to your shiny, embroidered, bought-this-bitcoins-badge-with-Bitcoins badge and say "Why, you can use bitcoins to buy this badge proving you used bitcoins to buy it!" And let's face it, this kind of recursive jackassery is the entire reason Randy and I started doing Nerd Merit Badges in the first place.

So: If you send us one bitcoin (that's 1฿, to be Unicode-y about it), we will send you one "bought this bitcoins badge with bitcoins" merit badge. Like all our nerd merit badges, these are round, 1.5" in diameter, and have a velcro hook-side back. Buy a bunch and stick them inside your coat just like Lefty the Letter Salesman! Put 'em on your laptop sash and use them to buy, er... bitcoins?

Price: 1.0 BTC per badge. (includes worldwide shpping via USPS first-class mail)
Shipping: Worldwide shipping via USPS first-class mail is included in 1.0 BTC price.
Tax: Ha! Tax is for squares, man.
Color: Orange, with ฿ glyph in shiny silver metallic thread.

It says "sold out" at the bottom of this page because you can't buy one of these badges with dollars! Fiat currency is so two-thousand-and-late! The only way to buy a BTBBWB badge is with bitcoins, using one of the two options below:

Payment Option One: Contact Us Directly

Send an email to hello@nerdmeritbadges.com with your shipping address. If you like, you can even sign and/or encrypt your message (for additional cloak-and-dagger excellence.) Here's our public key.

We'll create a unique payment address for you. You send payment, we ship the badge, and then we'll be happy to submit a positive rating for you to the #bitcoin-otc web of trust.

Payment Option Two: Check Out With BitPay

Use this link or the button or QRcode below to check out with BitPay, which is kind of, sort of, like Shopify for Bitcoin:

PS: The line below says "sold out", but that's because you can't buy these badges with DOLLARS like a SUCKER. You have to buy them with BITCOINS, like a CHAMP, using one of the two options above. They are not sold out! If you have a bitcoin, you can buy a badge right now.
