Topic: Do you believe we need more ways of advertising Bitcoin currency? - page 10. (Read 19592 times)

It will eventually happen.
I think if they offered it on their products that are not performing too well like the kindle or services for their Fire network, then people would accept them more. Bitcoin adaptation for those would peak the interest of the more tech savvy people having a more viable option to buy them over Apple products and services.

Amazon does not currently accepct bitcoin directly on their website, but you can buy Amazon products with bitcoins using a service like purse dot io
this is their official thread, check this out

i think if amazon used bitcoin officially,that would be a great promotion for bitcoin

Bitcoin's reputation will only grow more positive as it gains traction in the next few years.

yeah you right, bitcoin payment method it is helpful to the promotion
hey Amazon seems have been using bitcoin as a payment method right ?

I think that since newegg implemented the bitcoin payment method,
The price has started to be increased, hope i am right.
Otherwise if amazon ebay and other big e-commerce companies will implement there would be a good advertisement for bitcoin.

Best marketing is always p2p marketing,just share interesting news about btc on social media,ifsomebody is interested in try to explain and answer his questions It isalways the best when real person talk to real person

Well whoever believes that Bitcoin needs more advertising will like this very much:

I don't like this idea. :c

I have a slogan for this: 'Rent a car cheaper with bitcoin'
This would be a good advertisement for car or taxi companies.
And time by time the result will be given and i think more people will use bitcoin.

i found out like any car company needs adverts and in this case its into the use of Bitcoin per companies and post a sign and besides that the spread of the wrod that bitcoin its money soo its digital good to have trade and save and the good idea sells but needs a bit more adverts not just into the internet but companies acepted like its beeing doing into europe well btc still on the rise

Many things need to happen to drive bitcoin forward that are not mutually exclusive:

They include:
- more involvement from the institutional investors
- reliable and trustworthy exchanges, with cheap and quick transfers of fiat money
- simple, secure and cheap ways to use bitcoins to make payments and transfers.

Teach them how to drive a car. Consumers will drive adoption, not merchants. Merchants follow consumers.

Once you have taught consumers that they can trust Bitcoin, understand it, not be terrified of it, be conned by it then you have your golden moment.

I really think there has been too little focus on getting Bitcoin into people's hands. As nutty as 21 may seem, their idea behind it was solid, execution probably sucked. You need people to earn Bitcoin easily and without drama, no exchanges and screwing around. They just want a wallet, hand over a little bit of Fiat safely (10USD) and try it out.

yes i think bitcoin needed it
advertising such as socialization, we started advertising in the city news, might be interested

if advertise with youtube, targets are the common people?
they probably would not be interested in bitcoin

I'm the unofficial queen of stupidity and funniness.

DUN DUN DDUUUUNNNN

funny girl to the rescue! =^_____^= Just give me some time though. I'm focusing on my crafts.

Sure taking advantage of youtube to make the publicity would be the cheapest way but who will try to do something that will atract others to see,we would need some comercial very funny or something very stupid,the most comercials use those and a huge sucess.

But as you said, there is no one clearly benefiting from advertise bitcoin. Say: if Coinbase or Kraken suddenly start promoting itself with TV spots who will benefit?
It is like you don't see a general PC gear commercials or TV spots how internet is awesome...

I like the idea, but who should organise it and fund it ?

Everyone involved in bitcoin will benefit, but we do not have a single body which is responsible for such things.
Should we hope that the likes of Gemini will do it ?

you do realise that an average TV show gets viewed by only a few million.. and thats by people actually tuning in to watch it because they have interest in the show..

so the cheap way to advertise it is not commercial TV. because the cost per viewer is pretty crappy.
things like youtube, vine, etc are better and literally free methods to get seen by millions of people.

but with that said. the content of the advert is more important about the expense of its production, or the expense of its implimentation.

we do not want crappy investment options that sound like ponzi's. we dont want technical seminars that blow peoples minds so much they lose interest because they simply cant take in the info in one go.

it needs to be a simple, short applepay/paypal style advert that is short and sweet that links people to the deeper information about how to professionally/properly get bitcoin and use it.

i think before arguing about who will publish the advert. or who will script the advert.. we need to concentrate on bitcoins infrustructure to actually get bitcoin user friendly.

it needs to be 'grandma friendly' where there is a way that even people living in the countryside/outback can get bitcoin, and can actually use it..
then and only then should it be advertised to the masses..

anyone disagreeing with that doesnt care about bitcoin, but just wants a price jump so they can jump back to fiat.. and thus should be ignored.

Correct.
Bitcoin is a network, so it benefits from the network effect.
The more people invest in it, the more people trade it, the more people accept it as a payment, the more people use it to make transfers, the more it grows.
