Bitcoin Boxing the Dollar

Today, being both the day after Christmas and a Saturday, is not a day to work, so let's have an easy post. How about a composite image as in the Halloween post Bitcoin : Trick -or- Treat? (31 October 2015).

Sure, that might work, except it's not really Christmas -- it's the day after -- so the moment has passed for a Christmas post. How about a Boxing Day post as in Boxing Day [Wikipedia]:-

Boxing Day is a holiday traditionally celebrated the day following Christmas Day, when servants and tradesmen would receive gifts, known as a "Christmas box", from their masters, employers or customers. [...] In the liturgical kalendar of Western Christianity, the day is dedicated to St. Stephen, so is known as St. Stephen's Day to Christians (especially Anglicans, Lutherans and Roman Catholics), and to the population generally in Italy, Ireland, Finland, Alsace and Moselle in France. It is also known as both St. Stephen's Day and the Day of the Wren or Wren Day in Ireland. In some European countries, most notably Germany, Poland, the Netherlands and those in Scandinavia, 26 December is celebrated as the Second Christmas Day.

Since I didn't know any of that, I'm now a little more knowledgeable. An image search on 'bitcoin boxing' brings up mostly Mike Tyson photos, as in Boxing Legend Mike Tyson Launching Bitcoin ATM. Exclude the word 'Tyson' and voila...

(Sorry, Mike!)

For me, the most interesting images in the composite are the cartoons. The T-shirt (and the related cartoon next to it) in the top row goes to Bitcoin vs Money Boxing Fight Retro Design T-Shirt:-

The image to the left of the second row goes to Bitcoin Stock Vector [dreamstime.com], captioned 'Bitcoin is boxing with dollar'. Dreamstime it is; a drawing depicting David vs. Goliath would be more realistic. What will next Christmas bring for bitcoin?
