Guy wants 150 Bitcoins to name his daughter Satoshi Bitcoin. Bonus: donate twenty bitcoins and become her godparent.

Isn't 150 Bitcoins kind of a lot for something that is free and effortless to do? I'm surprised you didn't pick up on the 1 bitcoin reward either. Doesn't it come off as a bit creepy to you?

Yeah, that was creepy as fuck, too. So was this comment by this guy whom I presume was the original project creator:

Our little baby is almost 3 months now and she is growing up well. She really likes how satoshi sounds. You understand that this project is really unusual thats why we are going to remain anonymous until funding succeeds. In about 9 months from now the naming ceremony will take place. We hope the best for our little satoshi and we will try to make all her dreams come true. Thanks for the support all the members of the constantly growing bitcoin community.

You'll note that no funding has been provided at all, so it looks like this guy is just asking for money for something he was going to do anyways.

Just for those who aren't aware of the current exchange rate....

He's asking for $57,000 give or take about 10%.

That 1 btc pledge?  Yeah, that's like $400.

(1 btc = $393 at the time of this posting, the 57k number was based off a rough average of the last few days at $380)

I wonder if he's aware that Satoshi is a boy's name.

It'd be interesting if cryptocurrencies became the new Goldsteins and Silvers of the world, so you'd get Josh Dogecoins and Jill Bitcoins.

Wait, bitcoins are worth $380?! How? What can you even buy with bitcoins?

[MrWiggles]

Mostly drugs and child pornography.

The same way they can drop to under $20 out of nowhere, or however it was that caused the little panic some time ago.

[Graknorke]

Because their value is based entirely on bullshit upon bullshit. You can try to dig to the bottom, but the bullshit is just propping itself up at this point.

There's a giant market in bitcoins.

So.

Making a kickstarter for my house.

Bad idea, or terrible idea?

The badness probably scales on the size of the house.
