Yes, we need more ways for introduce bitcoin to public, as we know bitcoin is known by small group right know.. But we can start from our family, friends and your neighbor start to tell about what bitcoin is.

I think these Black Fridays are a huge thing: I have some friends who started asking me info about BTC. I see more and more interested people around.
I think that's good

Wow that is fantastic. Maybe such events are what bitcoin needs. I remember doge got pretty good coverage when it sponsored that nascar driver

That could be a good idea to start with , but as you said "children" , so make sure it's something beautiful and fun so they get it on the first place , I'd like to hear more about the Bitcointalk YouTube channel idea , What are you planning to add there ?

It's never enough to advertise bitcoin , because we are in a war with the other side (banks , media , governments ... ) Media for example try to convince people that only Terrorists and criminals use Bitcoin on the Dark-web which is not true  , same goes for for governments just couple of days ago .. Ukraine trying to convince their citizens to use use other payment methods that reserve the user protection and that kind of things ..


Yes it is good idea in advertising,,  and it great advertising bitcoin, its help you to get more money, easy paybills etc Smiley

Bitcoin is growing slowly and bringing new costumers into it ,but well because there is no a huge and effective promotion besides the people present at it and some banners online ,we are mooving up.If someone able to make advertisements with 1 minute showing something new ,todays the promotions are fast and the message arrives everyone the more stupid or without sense will be reminded always.

Yes good promotions can make a huge difference, TV advertisement or social networking sites can make a huge difference, or even if there is small article in newspaper can have a impact on the people, So the efforts should be made that bitcoins is promoted in the best possible way.

Yes, absolutely! IMO Bitcoin has too many bad news! Many ppl heard about it but still don't bother to step in. What we need is that more Bitcoin related services are coming out, cater our needs and provide unique utility to our life comparing with our traditional money systems. They have incentives to promote their services and Bitcoin, raise the awareness. Ppl know how they can use it for good cause and start to accept it.

yes  , there is a great need of advertising the bitcoins .
there are less way to earn bitcoins like through jobs at office.
with the advertisement of bitcoins the user of bitcoins will increase and with the increase in the number of user the value of bitcoins also increase.
so i think there is a more needs for the advertisement of bitcoins.

you just need merchants to adopt bitcoin

for example amazon adopting bitcoin would count as advertisement, which will bring more people into play

if people don't use bitcoin so much is because there are no one big, accepting them, so merchants need to do the first step
Yes it right , but how big merchants like amazon , ebay , and etc trust with bitcoin ? Cheesy

Its very hard to make amazon and etc trust in bitcoin, because bitcoin have their unwanted flaws, like anonymously,vulnerable to hackers and etc.Cheesy

arent there some big companies accepting Bitcoin? was it dell or smth
microsoft started accepting BTC, but it wasn't as dramatised as I thought it would be  Roll Eyes Roll Eyes
Because when Microsoft started to adopt bitcoin there wasn't any news or press releases about it Roll Eyes
Now imagine if Microsoft goes to Technology expo and announces that they will use Bitcoin, it would be a different story Wink
And they only accept USA citizens Sad

Yes Dell accepts bitcoins as payment. Never tried it though, I'm not much of a fan of Dell, didn't have a good expierence with the laptop I bought from them.

To get back on topic, I do believe we need more ways of advertising, we need it more out in the real world and not just online. There could be advertisements on billboards and such.

You lead and I'll watch you walk away.
If bitcoin starts sponsoring a big soccer team in Europe,that would greatly increase it's exposure.

That the best idea i heard today.

However I don't think the bitcoin foundation has that kind of budget. They have to pay at least 20M+ to sponsor a club like Barca or AC Milan

bitpay already tried that with american football last year... it didnt really gain much fame... so they dropped it this year

https://www.cryptocoinsnews.com/bitcoin-st-petersburg-bowl-first-college-football-game-sponsored-cryptocurrency/

the problem is not about advertising.. its about bitcoin usage once people start thinking about bitcoin..
afterall there is no point wasting money on advertising if the viewers cannot buy beer or toilet roll with it from their local 7eleven.

and thats why europe doesnt bother advertising Euro's in america.. or why america doesnt advertise Dollars in britain...
so will all you "we need to advertise" fanboys. look passed the 15 minutes of fame and orgasms you will have from seeing the advert. and think about the non-bitcoin people who will see the advert for the first time. and what uses they will see of benefit..

remember 99% of people are not investors, and they wont spend money unless its on something useful.. so concentrate on bitcoins usefulness to common people before thinking of advertising bitcoin

If it weren't for the first Galker and Slashdot articles I never would have heard of Bitcoin. Isn't that advertising?

yes but the problem is bitcoin is not a company, it is a currency. Do you see USD sponsored on ronaldo jersey  ?

Even with the bitcoin being promoted heavily online,the interest of the people isnt getting inside bitcoin because we all know that there are a lot risks involved into it,knowing that its potencial is amazing and unlimited but well if there is no fresh money into bitcoin we will see it loosing value on the next years instead growing.


That's true, we need more and more people to be a part of bitcoin community and if the adoption level goes high we can expect a bit of price stability in the future, but bitcoins needs a great level of promotion at the initial stage, if the promotions are done in the best way then only it can create a positive impact on the mindsets of the people.

I believe that as more options of advertising digital currency we have the better. Currently, there is a lot of advertisement, but its not enough. We need to get to every side of the social scale in advertising bitcoin and this is still not done!

I do think that all we need to do for now is creating awareness about this digital currency so that people stop viewing it as a method used by only criminals. Being able to inform the society on some of the key benefits of bitcoin will help boost the acceptance rate. In doing that also will make the government see the potential that Bitcoins have when it comes to running the economy.   believe it is better we create awareness and in itself do the marketing.

They could start with a few local clubs and go from there. Certain things have to start out small to reach their full potential. I think that if bitcoin would start sponsoring a soccer team, more people would be aware, like parents at their kids football club on a Saturday.

I guess awareness about Bitcoin will naturally increase once you have multiple bitcoin companies and they start advertising. It doesn't have to be the Bitcoin foundation (equivalent of America advertising dollars).
If there are telecom companies advertising, it is a positive for the advantages of mobile telephony as a whole.
In the same way, once there are multiple competing companies in the cryptospace and they start spending on advertising, Bitcoin will benefit.
