Wow that's great!
Somebody in the business should create a crown funded project and do this around the world. It could go viral (even more) in no time
Donation should go to charities tho
Topic: Bitcoin promoting billboards now in SF bay area. (Read 603 times)
Good news, thanks 
Folks in the San Francisco bay area (the San Francisco that's in the USA, not the one in Argentina) are now putting up a few dozen billboards to promote awareness of Bitcoin.
I think this is the first all-the-way to the mainstream publicity campaign I remember. It'll be interesting to watch the effects.

Kansas City would be another good spot to get such a campaign; it's a major hub for big money (KC does insurance companies the way NYC does banks) but usually about 3 years behind on hot trends. I bet the message would reach more people who haven't heard of it there.
OTOH, SF has a different attitude toward technology. They've got no exclusive on being tech-savvy, but I think the SF bay area culture (especially the SF people who have a lot of money) *trusts* technology a hell of a lot more than the KC old-money network. Big bucks will probably move more easily in SF.
