Dash Across America Tour: Everyday Crypto Advocacy Hits the Road
The owners of the Austin-based retail store, Brave New Books, are gearing up for another tour across America. This time, they’ll not only be using different cryptocurrencies, but will be riding in the new Bitcoin.com bus!
Bitcoin.com Bus Tour: Advocacy on Wheels
Store owners, Catherine Bleish and John Bush, are hitting the road with all expenses paid exclusively in crypto as the Bitcoin.com bus will be taking them where they need to go.
The tour is called Dash Across America as the family is expanding from bitcoin-only to crypto-only, this time including Dash and Ether.
The Blush Family picked up the Bitcoin.com Bus last April in Rye, NH and brought it back to Texas where they have been slowly renovating it for full time travel.
Aided by a caravan of volunteers that just arrived from Adam Kokesh‘s FREEDOM! Ranch, the family will finalize their upgrades before they all depart to Arizona for the Jackalope Freedom Festival.
After the week-long Festival, the Bush Family will be following the same route they took on their 2nd Uncoinventional Bitcoin Tour in 2014. But the major difference this time around will be the new Bitcoin.com Bus rather than their minivan.
The main sponsor for the tour is Bitcoin.com, hence the reason for the naming of their bus. Additionally, the current sponsor list includes CheapAir.com, Barking Springs Dog Ranch, Brave New Books, Shire Society, Cell411, ShapeShift.io, and Arcade City.
The major stops of this tour are: San Diego, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Denver, Kansas City, Alabama, Dallas, and Austin.
Explaining how the family will educate the public, Catherine Bleish said:
We’ll spread the word about crypto and all things decentralized by hosting bitcoin meetups in each major city and showing everyone we meet to incorporate crypto into their daily lives.
Follow their journey in the Bitcoin.com forums and by listening to John Bush’s SovereignBTC podcast. You can also follow Uncoinventional on Instagram for daily photos and @TheBitMom on twitter for updates and shout outs.
