- its rules on Reddit
Bitcoin is the currency of the Internet: a distributed, worldwide, decentralized digital money. Unlike traditional currencies such as dollars, bitcoins are issued and managed without any central authority whatsoever: there is no government, company, or bank in charge of Bitcoin. As such, it is more resistant to wild inflation and corrupt banks. With Bitcoin, you can be your own bank.
What its rules say about promotion
Do not promote altcoins
Submissions and comments that are mostly about some other cryptocurrency belong elsewhere. This includes submissions and comments which compare Bitcoin with any of the thousands+ altcoins.
Avoid repetition
/r/Bitcoin is a subreddit devoted to new information and discussion about Bitcoin and its ecosystem. New merchants are welcome to announce their services for Bitcoin, but after those have been announced they are no longer news and should not be re-posted. Aside from *new* merchant announcements, those interested in advertising to our audience should consider [Reddit's self-serve advertising system](https://www.reddit.com/ad_inq/).
No trading
Trades should usually not be advertised here. For example, submissions like "Buying 100 BTC" or "Selling my computer for bitcoins" do not belong here. /r/Bitcoin is primarily for news and discussion.
No URL shorteners or referrals
* Do not use URL shortening or rehosting services. * Always submit the actual link. * Avoid editorializing article titles. * Do not misquote or heavily paraphrase tweets * No referral links
Do not promote contentious hard forks
Promotion of client software which attempts to alter the Bitcoin protocol without overwhelming consensus is not permitted.

What the written rules don't show
- Unpublished minimums. Many communities remove posts from new or low-karma accounts through AutoModerator settings that are not on the rules page, often before a moderator sees them.
- Reddit's own filters. Reddit's site-wide spam filters can remove posts from accounts that mostly share links to their own site, in any community.
- The community's norms. Many communities see themselves as peers, not an audience: post where you already take part, and make the post worth reading without the link.
