It's because you rock, Tyler.
I want to see th NSA count.
Gratz, Tylers!
details here: http://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/zerohedge.com
most of us readers are 70 yr old men living at a home
Ahem, The first 2 rules....
Hoping for another billion quickly! Wake up people of earth!
Cheers!!!
Congrats... I'm like a crack addict, and you are a closet lover of obese chicks !
I thought you said obese "dicks" on first pass and I thought...gawd, why do I read this stuff...yea fat chicks, all good!
Where the fuck are my baloons and prize to go with my Obummer phone?
ZH4EVA!
Keynes is gnashing his teeth in hell over this news.
I think I'm personally responsible for 10^6 of those pageloads. Yep. Addicted.
Zero Hedge is my first "go to place" to get what is the most reliable news and commentary on what matters to me.
Congratulations, Tylers! May there be billions more readers of ZH!
In solidarity: Ich bin ein Zerohedger!
It's a priviledge to be a part of the ZH community, as crazy and unpredictable as it may be!
Thanks for the platform, Tylers...
DaddyO
Twenty years ago, when I took the National Review, it had but 250,000 subscribers. The only reason it had any influence at all was because William F. Buckley made for very good television.
What do you look and sound like in person, 'Tyler'?
Here's looking at you, kid.
I would like to give thanks to Bernanke, Bush, Obama, and all the other psychopaths in government and finance for their idiotic behavior that gave rise to the immune response named Zerohedge,
Every country needs a Zerohedge.
Grats and thanks.
great, bravo guys!
I read you multiple times a day. Thanks a billion!
+1 Bullish
posting @ the firrst recognizable namE i see / click. ggood ony'A . PLUSSS 200 BEELION!
Now how did I find my way here, so many years ago. The truth does set you free.
6,000,000,000 to go! And its been an absolute pleasure.
Good reporting on the financial aspects of the economy. Thank you all 5 Tylers.
So cool. Thank you for all you do.
(I'm not addicted, I can stop reading ZH any time I feel like it -- I just don't feel like it! No, I mean really.)
Where should 70 year old men live?
Not at home?
A home...
Google will buy you.
Yeah sorry that was probably me. My F5 key got stuck sometime in 2011.
Tylers--I decided to say thanks with a cash donation, hope that works. (Please don't tell the NSA)
Bitcoin?
They don't have an address that I know of. Speaking of that, I would love to send a BTC to Mr. Edward Snowden if he would post an address.
--Does anyone know what a Predator Drone sounds like when approaching? I would like some advance warning.
Doing that will just get BTC closer Federal scrutiny. BTC needs to be more adopted so that people find out they need it first.
That's some funny shit right there.
they sound like a small turbo prop...
i saw one blow up ... when it was watching i.
Good thing i got friends at Evergreen Air.
Thanks for the real news
Thanks to you, Bitchez!!!
Over a billion served.
Epic. ZH rocks!
I was actually the one billionth pageloader. I got the recognition, of course, some balloons and a cart full of grocersies -- which I appreciate -- but, still, it seemed a little cheap.
Damn....you were the guy I let go ahead in front of me because you only had 2 items...
Yeah, beer and a bad attitude. Does that count as 2?
Congratulations!!
ZeroHedge, starting brushfires for truth and Liberty. Well done!
I am afraid to consider how many of those 1,000,000,000 were mine...
ZH is like crack for me... I come for the articles but I stay for the comments.
Congrats to all who make this site what it is... a ray of sanity in an insane world.
No electrons were harmed in the loading of these pages.
Lends new meaning to "fast and furious".
FUCK YOU BERNANKE!
Works everytime!
bitchez
The "cheesepopes" got to you just moments before the finish line... <golf clap>

That oughta be about as satisfying as USA Basketball in the 1972 Olympics [you know ~ that one that 'Israelis' got hostage-ed-ed ded by scary Palestinians in the first Olympic Games on 'German' soil since Berlin 1936]...
Baaaaaaaad People... Let the pigeons loose...
Long Ag...
I always get a chuckle at your creativity, the down arrows just seem to follow, eh?
DaddyO
Well done!
do you have more stats? growth per month? Most popular posts?
http://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/zerohedge.com#
On a side note, WTF is ZH so popular in Botswana?
ZH is especially popular in Banana Republics...
Hence the high percentage of U. S. page loads.
Might be popular, but only 0.8% of site visitors!
Evidently "everything else" in Botswana's version of the Internet might be "not so interesting"??
(Or maybe that's where the ideas for the multi-million $$ e.mail scams are really originating??)
Don't think it was the most popular, but the "Teen Girls Throng Thongs" post was def in the top five. I know I read it a dozen times myself.
"Teen Girls Throng Thongs"
you cant just throw this out there w/o a link!
Thanks Tylers -- the number of hours i've put in on this site if paid in ag i'd be a wealthy man
@ IMA It was the day after Black Friday of ... I believe this past Nov. 2012. Had about a gazillion hits due to the highbrow analytic content and the gratuitous pic of some Vic Secret models.
GoLd, bItChEz!
Congrats from the Black Forest.
Is the weather sucking in the Black Forest area?
moar...MOAR!!!
Next stop: One Trillion.
vote early vote often... [now that REUTERS share the feeds with Bloomberg]...
~~~
Look ~ I'd be full of platitudes as well [until about a month ago]... All you motherfuckers sound like a bunch of Unites States Governments sychophants congratulating Barack Obama on yet another successful year in the administration of the 'Stars & Stripes'...
RESPECT is earned on a daily basis [IMO]...
I have one thing to say... "You'd better WORK"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z2wrU2tkl38
The basis of Democracy is an informed electorate.
Now lets do some electing
Congrats! May there be trillions more! Thanks for the awakening!
as with deficits, the first billion is always the hardest...next stop a trillion, then a bush like brazillion!
your welcome
His welcome?
Godspeed ZeroHedge.
True, This! —
Beneath the rule of men entirely great
The pen is mightier than the sword. Behold
The arch-enchanters wand! — itself is nothing! —
But taking sorcery from the master-hand
To paralyse the Cæsars, and to strike
The loud earth breathless! — Take away the sword —
States can be saved without it!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_pen_is_mightier_than_the_sword
Crazy Mongorrians!
NO TYLER.
THANK YOU. !!!!
Careful up click so as not to accidentally touch your avatar.
A lot of it is just me...refreshing every 5 mins..!
congrats...:)
Me, billion plus 1, 1, 1
WOW!!!!!!
I think I'm good for a few thousand pageloads :)
Guns N' Roses-Welcome to the Jungle

Looking forward to the effect of...the next billion, Tyler. Godspeed on your important mission.
Many thanks...Cdad
Is that a thousand-million, or a million-million?
100 Quadrillion more !!!!!!
2.5T more!!!!
Bravissimoooooo
Zero Hedge – the source of all my news and information. Just got to get rid of the A-Holes in the comment section LOL – Kidding …..Some of the best links, info, opinions etc etc come from the comments. Keep up the good work!
Yeah so you know (and I'm sure a lot of people feel this way), I've dropped nearly all of my other news sources and now almost purely read and follow ZH. Thanks for all the good articles, graphs & charts, and for making me a much smarter and more keen person than I was years ago. Also thanks to everyone in here for constantly showing interesting articles, putting up good arguements or comments, good conspiracy theories-turned-facts, interesting personal stories, and even hillarious jokes. ZH has led me to becoming highly cynical, much smarter, 1000x at sarcastic humor, etc. etc. etc.
+10 well said
NIce one from Barcelona.
Nice one from Slovakia
I'll be in Topolcany in 2 weeks.
Thank You from Denmark!
Tylers, Thank You from Guyana.
And from me and my family, to the mighty Tylers, thank you from Australia and Canada.
Your help has spread beyond just this one reader, beyond what you can even know.
Thank you from the suburbs of Hell itself---Washington DC.
Thanks from planet Earth.
Thanks from Alternative Universe, aka Republick of Kaleefornya
I have a feeling Bernanke thinks a billion quite trivial, sooo...
Fuck you Bernanke.
Thank you Tyler for Fight Club and much moar.
Be nice to see a graph of ZH web rankings over time.
Jus type it into Quantcast, pretty impressive
Me thinks you broke it with that note.
"Error! We are unable to retrieve traffic data for this property at the moment."
If only there was a trade ticket!
lesson learnt: the facts are crucial :)
keep those facts comin' in...
I've heard it here before from others but I too check ZH before reading Drudge or any other site at this point. Even though some of the articles are above my comprehension at least I know I'm reading correct content on the subject matter. I sometimes just scroll down to the comments section for the fun of it. Keep it up ZHedgers.
I have learnt so much here. The way to summarize ZH's analysis: "Look beyond what you see" (attention to detail is critical).
Thx guys.
ZH old as Methuselah and popular as Theodora!
And you thought they were spying on you when they drilled through your wall.....silly
Way to go, bitchez!
+ 1 Billion. Thank you Tylers and fellow ZH readers.
No tyler... THANK YOU
and the TRUTH shall set you free!
Thanks Tylers.
B Free
I have been hangin in the weeds since the days of Cheeky Bastard et al. I don't post because I have little to offer.
Thank you Tylers, but probably, no definately, I have learned more (and continue to ) from the posters.
Thanks Cog Dis, Foz, Rocky, Dochen,CPL,Promethius. Gorden G, etc..etc
Also, thanks for the distraction players, Robotrader, MDB etc...
Oh by the way, Mr Snowden if you are reading this.
GODSPEED
I often find that those who comment the least are those who say the most in the fewest words. So Thank You for popping in and leaving your best behind. ;)
I found ZH a few years back. At that time you could tell there were many posters that were in the invstment corridor.
I am a small business, I was looking for help or ideas to grow savings. It occured to me that none of the people that were commenting (obviously experienced in these areas) and there were many that were 'in the know , could help me or anyone else'.
They were so attuned to the situations they just threw up there hands, the markets were so manipulated they could not offer sound advice.
Look at Yen Cross he is an FX trader.....albeit cryptic in his analagies....too much for me to comprehend.
I am from district 12, I produce and I don't see many ways to comfortably gain from the current system, you guys and gals were supposed to take my excess labor and push it into the future as savings or profit, and take a cut, which, is fine.
The system is so rigged ,so grey, I will make my own.
I am left with little choice because my family expects that from me, and rightfully so.

What an amazing tribute to Zero Hedge. Not just a few quirky guys like me hanging out but mainstream. It will only get better and makes me feel especially good about Donating to Zero Hedge. For me it is donating to ensure the truth is told.
We do not have to agree with all that is said here but there it is. Truth and facts. No matter if we like it or not. Just a little different than MSM. Hmm.
The best Mr. Durden and to your incredible selfless staff.
WE THANK YOU!
Tyler can you post who's been visting Zerohedge today or is that an NSA secret?
well done.
Keep up the good work !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for being the only news site worth reading.
ZH- the first site I check when I wake up to see what I missed while asleep. congrats and thank you for all you do.
My favorite site for over 3 years now. Thank you Tylers (and Marla) for the best journalism in years!!
I'm going to take a shot in the dark here and assume the Tylers will not win any kind of pulitzer, nobel, or other prize anytime.. ever. No matter... who gives a shit about this corrupt world anyway.
Ditto what ONE AND ONLY said!
Zero Hedge, a smash hit in Europe, from Brussels to Bulgaria (wink)
... And yes, they secretly read ZH at the European Union Commission offices, where they smile every time Tyler writes 'Go long Belgian caterers !'
« A billion here, a billion there, and pretty soon you're talking about real money. »

Even Mr. Draghi had to answer a question referencing, gasp, ZeroHedge!
ZH- Congrats and Thanks for the Education!
Is there a cake, and some party hats?
Thanks for this very valuable site. Awesome!
Keep on truckin!
Free market capitalism at its finest.
zero-hedge deserves Pulitzer.
That prize is a tad tainted at this point, but agree with the sentiment.
The same goes for the Nobel Prize , Past and future War Criminals Get it, I hope that Zerohedge DOESN'T GET IT(Nobel Prize) , because then, we are fucked. Keep it up Tylers and the rest of the Zerohedge Crowd
And The Dictator's gonna read every one.
TRUE HONEST JOURNALISM.
Albeit of the electronic kind.
W5 = Who, What, Where, When. Why. This is zerohedge.
Nice milestone. If ya meet anyone with their brains turned on tell them about ZH. I'm still amazed how many local thinkers haven't heard of the site
SafelyGraze
...and women!!
moar bitchez and buy the fucking dip tylers...
I'll drink to that!
"Bwillyuns and bwillyiuns of burgers sold !" .... McDonald's burger clock !
It's actually the commenters that really make the experience profound, not taking away from Brad Pitt.
Agreed! The real mind expansion occurs in the comment section if we are willing to inflate our minds. One does not need to believe anything we hear or read but we should consider everything.
The comments section is the best part. All you posters are great!
Sad to see a few missing in action over the past year, McMolotov etc here's hoping there's no NSA unmarked "ditches" being filled
Batswanna job openings for NSA spook center.
Apply here.
Good on ya!
We all owe a great deal to The Fight Club on the Net.
Thank You Tylers. However many there are, Who ever they are. Where ever they are.
This IS the BEST site on the Web bar none.
Keep it up and don't quit us ZH, You guys are the best.
I wear my ZH hat proudly everyday.
JC
P.S. Thank you also to all the commenters. Especially you old timers that have been here for a few years. You are 50% of the ZH experience.
Don't feed the Trolls, and keep posting.
And yeah, I am nearing a 4 year old!
ZH is where thoughts that oppose the indoctrination are found and discussed.
Long live ZH and may your timeline as a society not go to zero!
ZH should get the Nobel Peace Prize, only to tell the commitee to fuck off.
A massive thank you from Wales, Tyler(s)
