Topic: Crypto Awareness: Bitcoin logos on T-Shirts - page 3. (Read 464 times)
That person is definitely making bank, he/she knows the trend and makes a merchandise out of it, I think that this is more than just promotion but more on the business side but hey, who am I to judge, it still has the logo so in a way it still promotes bitcoin. I hope that you can see the legalization of bitcoin in your country, seems kind of a backward thinking for the government to outlaw bitcoin transactions when they can profit from it through taxation.
Keep in mind that we live in a country where we are not allowed to buy and sell through bitcoin. Therefore he is selling the shirts in the fiat currency however all the shirts have Bitcoin logo over it. This is the maximum he can do to promote bitcoin. I hope when some day bitcoin may become a legal tender here also, then he can do the transactions in Bitcoin.
This is the same situation of my country, I see too many people on the marketplace selling T-shirts, hats, bag,s and custom cards with the bitcoin logos even is bitcoin is not legal as a payment. But, we are still lucky here (Indonesia), because bitcoin is legal as asset investment so that situation we not to worry to use that on public, But If I thinking it again, It is dangerous, because when I use that t-shirt with bitcoin logo and seen by criminals, they will thing I have a lot of bitcoin, then they will be spied me, and The criminal will follow me where I live. That very scary situation.Can you share some of the stores that are selling bitcoin labeled shirts, hats etc ? It will be great if these store ship these things abroad outside Indonesia.
Also, i would like to know from OP also, whether the shipping of those shirts is limited in his local country or if they ship outside the country too.
By the way, I really like these bitcoin shirts and I wish i could order one.
Also the sizes aren't mentioned there? 
because the government in your country prohibits buying and selling bitcoins so you have to be careful.
The @OP said the government of his country not allow to use Bitcoin as a currency, there's no mentioned if the country not allow to buy and sell Bitcoin which is a complete ban toward Bitcoin. It had to take an influencer to make this bold move when the real OGs of crypto watch from a distance and in the shadows...Its understandable as people respect their privacy and don't want to let the world know of their tech hobbies
When someone want to become an influencer, he already lost and trade his privacy in order to make money. Since he already lost his privacy, he think there's nothing to lose anymore because he will do anything to make him popular.This will depends on the buyer, if the buyer don't want to become popular and lost it's privacy, don't buy any product related to Bitcoin.
I guess buying and selling t-shirts with bitcoin logos in your country is fine because people can still use fiat currency to buy them.
It also won't violate any regulations in your country because it's just a t-shirt with the bitcoin logo, just like any other t-shirt.
And it will be a good promotion for bitcoin so that it can be recognized by many people in your country, especially if your friend is an influencer.
An influencer will surely promote his goods and by giving a good explanation, will attract many people to buy his t-shirts.

in my opinion you should be careful in making t-shirts that have bitcoin logos or images,
because the government in your country prohibits buying and selling bitcoins so you have to be careful.
this is indeed a good idea and I also understand your goals and intentions, but in my opinion it would be even better if you made a permit to the government that you would make t-shirts with the bitcoin logo if allowed, keep working on making t-shirts with logos like that.
if it is not permitted by the government, in my opinion, it is better for you to obey what the government in your country says.
maybe with the logo, it must be ascertained whether someone has already applied for a patent. if someone has made it, it is certain that not just anyone can use the logo and must have a permit. but if not then there is no obligation to do the permit, so it can be made to be sold as commercial goods.because the government in your country prohibits buying and selling bitcoins so you have to be careful.

but if the problem is like what the colleague said above, that there is a ban from the government, then you really shouldn't take actions that are against the law.
but if the prohibition is transactions against bitcoins, it is also confirmed whether there is a prohibition on logos being made on t-shirts, because there are two different sides, there is not necessarily a ban.
but once again if there is a prohibition, you should still be careful with the rules that have been made and are not meant to be violated.
Perhaps he could expand his portfolio of t-shirt designs by adding all the altcoin logos. 
I usually like t-shirts with minimalistic designs and I would never buy a t-shirt, that has a giant logo on the front(it doesn't matter if it's the Bitcoin logo or some other logo). That's just me. Maybe other people will prefer more flamboyant and colorful designs.
I don't think that your friend is promoting Bitcoin by selling such t-shirts. He is just selling t-shirts, nothing else(and he doesn't have to pay for the t-shirt designs, which is clever). Many people have seen the Bitcoin logo, but they still don't know what Bitcoin actually is and how does it work. Many people might think that Bitcoin is a company or a fashion brand.

I can say that this is good, but again, does he explain to his customers what Bitcoin is before selling it to them?
The OP mentioned that the seller is an influencer, I'm more sure if the shirt is promoted through a special place.By bringing the logo over the real thing visually, the hope is limited to raising awareness, not knowledge. Making people aware doesn't necessarily have to teach them either, people's level of curiosity can vary every time they see something new. Even if the average person who sees it is the type of person who doesn't care, it doesn't mean that a few of them won't find out harder.
One of the influencer in my country has started the business of selling the shirts with bitcoin logo on it. This will not only help him get some business but at the same time, it is a step towards the crypto awareness.
It had to take an influencer to make this bold move when the real OGs of crypto watch from a distance and in the shadows...Its understandable as people respect their privacy and don't want to let the world know of their tech hobbies but this BTC t-shirt branding is a great idea if masses do actually buy and put on the Ts on a regular basis, otherwise exchanges and gambling companies are doing the most as they have these sponsorship deals with big teams which get the visibility boost out there.I don't see many Bitcoin logos anywhere on clothing, it would be a great marketing scheme to see it on the streets. I've seen shoes on the internet with the bitcoin logo but never seen anyone wearing them. Hope to see those T-Shirts in real life one day
If you are a sports fan, several teams have this on their shirts and ads running on stadium led billboards and what not.
I have nothing against it, another way to promote or bring awareness to BTC.
However, I'm wary about the $5 wrench attacks appear to be on the rise in the crypto community. Criminals are everywhere, and maybe it they see you wearing a Bitcoin tshirt, they might think that you are a enthusiast and obviously have some in your mobile phone and they might follow you at home and attempt to rob you, just saying.

It is good, these kind of stores where you can get items that carry Bitcoin logos have always been, this just increases accessibility to this items the more. Asides T-shirts, he can also look to include other items like mugs, hats, pens, etcetera. So that people who have no interest in buying T-shirts but like to have an item with Bitcoin logo will have other options to choose from. That way he can increase his sales, and also help increase the awareness he is trying to raise to all corners.

I have a friend who also did the samething, actually it feels nice and somehow proud to wear a t-shirt with a cryptocurrency logo since other could recognize it, and there are times that some stranger or workmates would actually open up a topic and talk to you about crypto when they see the t-shirt.
This is truly a nice one coming from someone who truly believes in Bitcoin but is limited by the law to actually practice it, but has used the little means that he has to promote it within his locality by printing a customized T-shirt with different Bitcoin logos. Which is one of the massive means of promotion.
Yes, your question is on point. The idea of also teaching and educating the customers about what they are actually buying and not just the design is good. But on the other hand, we should also look at the fact that there might actually not be a need for that, because the country might also be against it since they have a legal ban on the currency within their jurisdiction. Seeing someone orally promote and educate people about something that's actually not supposed to be traded in the country might attract the authorities. On the other hand, people who buy clothes now don't just buy them because of the mere design; most people buy them because they actually understand what the design might actually mean.
I can say that this is good, but again, does he explain to his customers what Bitcoin is before selling it to them? Because there is no link like bitcoin.org on the cloth. Why am I asking? Because I know there are people who have zero knowledge about Bitcoin, if such people buy this kind of cloth, they could just be wearing it without knowing what it is, or someone who sees it might not equally know what it is. For example, there are some signs or stickers one will see on clothes, and you will just overlook them and conclude that they're just a design.

That's a good one if the main idea is to raise awareness to the people that are going to see that t-shirt. If that's an affordable price to most then that will be a successful business and aim.
But then, there have been news and reports about $5 wrench attacks and this can be one of the ways for these attackers to determine if someone holds and owns a bitcoin.
That will be easy for them to know their targets. Yes, it's possible that it can happen but I'm not telling it that it shall bring the whole negativity to anyone who's going to wear it but, it's just about the reality that has happened to the others.
True. I think this is very possible for those scammers to easily trace bitcoin hodlers since wearing bitcoin T-shirts only means that you are a believer and a long time investor in bitcoin, and that you be could owning already a lot of bitcoin profits. Though this idea is very good for public awareness, but it will also trigger the safety of those people who are actually making profits from bitcoin. That’s why most bitcoin earners are just hiding their identities so they can avoid crypto scammers.

This is a good step and the best way to promote bitcoin adoption and acceptance across the globe. But there's this question I want to asked, since bitcoin trading (buying/selling) isn't allowed in your country don't you think this is contrarily going against your country law?
What if they found out that he is indirectly promoting bitcoin what would government do to him or her?
Actually I love the whole concept of helping for wide spread of bitcoin so I think he should only sells to the country that accepts the buying and trading of bitcoin in other to remain a law abiding citizen.
Then what if a fellow here wants to order for the T-shirts how would they be able to make payment because it would required them to pay through your friend's local currency which I think it may not be pretty nice to them over here IMO. Although I don't think if others have this in mind to ask here.

He has done a wonderful job by promoting Bitcoin in his country in the form of designs on t-shirts. Such initiatives are very important in promoting Bitcoin in areas where people aren't well aware of the technology. He's truly a Bitcoin lover and his love for crypto-currency can be seen in those t-shits.
I really appreciate the efforts of the guy as such steps are important in promoting awareness about Bitcoin in a community. Even if Bitcoin is banned in the country but still he's selling the shirts with Bitcoin logo and designs on them. The day when Bitcoin becomes a legal tender in the country, people will admire the efforts of this person.
Bitcoin should be promoted by everyone in those areas where people aren't aware about it. The innovation can bring so many opportunities to the people of those areas. Many of those people can be financially stable if they adopt Bitcoin. It's truly a valuable coin and anyone who promotes it is also very valuable. Thumbs up for the guy!

He has a unique way of promoting bitcoin for public awareness, and besides he’s also earning profits as well, so it’s a 2 in 1 business. This will certainly pave its way for more people to get attracted and interested with bitcoin, and it’s now the people’s initiative on how to lengthen their understanding with bitcoin through doing their own diligence in researching. However, while some crypto advocates will appreciate this, but I’m also sure that this will trigger those anti-bitcoin banks and governments, especially if you are living in a country where the government is banning the existence of bitcoin.

I think this is a good initiative and also a good way of spreading the btc awareness to as many people as possible. Although some people may not understand what the logo stands for but with the bitcoin written next to logo will help them to understand.
Bitcoin is not legal in my country as well but people can still engage in transacting btc. Thanks to this type of promotion individually, the btc awareness keeps increasing.
