A few weeks back we discussed Bitcoin in my programming class at school. This class is a higher end database development class where I expected most people to be technically inclined and sharp. When the topic of Bitcoin came up, everyone seemed to side with the professor about how Bitcoin was a ponzi and it was horrible, but when I asked them WHY and what the flaws were- they went silent. Today I am going in with 4 wallets. 3 loaded with .015BTC and one loaded with .05 BTC (Sorry; I'm a kid in school and it's all I can spare). I have picked a few people out of the class (mostly the biggest naysayers) and they will pick a wallet. The incentive of maybe getting an extra 20$ for whatever they want is pretty significant for "starving students". Hopefully they will take a look at the technical side of BTC once they find out how to access the wallets.
- In the end, being right is worth more to me than ~ 40$.
- Pride is a bitch sometimes..
- Sorry for the formatting, had to get this in before class!
- Wish me luck! Here are the wallets!

tl;dr- Discussed BTC with 30 naysayers in a programming class who didn't know a thing about BTC. Bringing in paper wallets to shed some light.
Edit2: Update: I gave away 2 wallets to people I thought might be interested, 1 to the professor, and for the last wallet; everyone was assigned a number and we used a random number generator. The guy who was selected won the .1 BTC wallet. Thanks for all your support!
