I think we are all in agreement that yes Bitcoin needs more advertising. The problem is who is going to fund the advertising, who is going to make sure the advertising goes into the correct direction. The question should be, how do we get Bitcoin more advertising, not if we believe it should have more.

There is many methods to advertise Bitcoin, i think the best method is talking about Bitcoin with our relatives not only online but also offline, this can help to make Bitcoin known as real currency, used and exchanged with fiat easily..Bitcoin without doubt need more support

Everything in this world needs some promotions to reach mass. So, bitcoin must need more advertising to make it as main stream of payments. Long back heard making bitcoin advertisements as smart-money or digital-money would attract more people.

I think is the best way to advertise the bitcoin is in comercial televisions world wide. Explain what is bitcoin comercial something like that can understand by people...

The suggestion is clear, but the question would be who?
Because bitcoin has no ceo, no company representatives etc.
I think the best way is when third parties advertise for their service in bitcoin.

Well, by advertising Bitcoin in general, every third party involved benefits. Similarly, by buying Bitcoin, you are somewhat "investing" in every third party that has something to do with Bitcoin at once. Everything that benefits Bitcoin benefits everyone that is involved with it, that's another thing that makes it such a great thing to hold in your portfolio.

You mean like TV adverts that Visa and Mastercard run ?

I am not sure that traditional advertising is what would work for popularising bitcoin.
Besides who would be doing that ?
Visa & Paypal are companies, Bitcoin is a decentralised network.

I believe it needs time.
After all, nobody's been ever advertising gold as a store of value, but it has done pretty well.
Since bitcoin is digital, we shouldn't need to wait few centuries, as it was the case with gold

i feel like bitcoin is already getting fairly popular even without advertising because it is just so great. "great things don't need advertising"

Well, I disagree. Great things do need advertising nowadays and we all know that.

Just name one thing which is great and we know it without advertising. I mean a human-made thing not one of the bounties of Nature of course.

If we do not advertise bitcoin, the adoption will be slower.

If we do not educate people about bitcoin, advertising would be worthless.. We need to make the image of bitcoin more fun or entertaining + advertise it's pros. Cheesy

The education comes with the advertisement, so it isn't a concern.

I agree that we should combine both, advertisement and education to make Bitcoin more popular.

I think there should be t-shirts with something like this:

Do you know that one Bitcoin is selling for $270?

No. That's bragging. We don't want to come off egotistical or arrogant.

Let's let our greatness speak for itself. Also going off of what that other user mentioned, bitcoins fluxuate from one price to another. We don't want a fixed price.

Okay, great.

That was just my suggestion how to attract people to learn about Bitcoin. If you have more intelligent ideas, well, that's great, I don't want to come off egotistical or arrogant either.

But I still think we can use t-shirts with writings only I'd change the writing to:

Do you know that one Bitcoin is selling for over $200 now?

No t-shirt should be saying anything about price....

Besides, I'm the only one that's making fashion merchandise here. I suggest everyone else should come up with their own ideas and stop trying to take other people's ideas...think about it. If you do what everyone else is doing, that's automatic competition. You want to put out a product or service that is 100% different. Something that's never been suggested or done before.

For example: I am also sculpting handmade bitcoin Gangster chains soon. Never been done, and will sell pretty quickly. Come up with your own plan, please.

Okay, okay

I was just trying to help you here. I'm not going to make fashion merchandise with BTC symbols or with BTC-related writings. I thought you were asking for ideas and I proposed one. If you want to make everything by yourself, then please forgive my intrusion.

Advertisement is very hard. Bitcoin is not a product, not everyone would be interested to try something out of their comfort zone. Most ads displayed are about everyday stuff. Bitcoin would be a currency that is not backed by anything and not everyone would take the risk and try it out.

Well tell the victims of bank bailouts if how much their money was backed by "something".
Bitcoin is backed by math, it's the price that can fluctuate, but you will never lose the BTC on your wallet. To the contrary, you can lose the money you have in your bank because it's not really yours.

Cryptography is something very new for an average joe. You're not going to convince someone to use BTC if you say it, most wouldn't bother to find out more about it. Most would still trust fiat more than Bitcoin because they have been using it for a long time.

Yes people are not willing to switch over to new things in the case of financial system. They feel secure with their traditional instruments and concepts.
The big advertising of bitcoin must be it's own price hike. The price increase will make bitcoin more popular on it's own promotions by hitting in news.

But the price won't grow without more adopters and we can't reach more adopters without advertising.

Would be great to see some promotion on tv ,but who would pay for that?Tv comercial is a fortune,and the return can be nothing or lower then expected,besides maybe some tv wont accept talk about bitcoin since they got ads from goverment that will go against them.

You just have to relax, and take it step by step to make enough money to contribute to that kind of advertisement. It takes millions, but you cannot make a million overnight. I wish you could, but you can't.

ya surely we need more ways because still only i think it may be wrong also but 20% of the total world knows about bitcoin so still 80% is left out, so their is still a lot of work to be done.

20% of total word population is too much zencomp.
In 2011 google says that the world population is 7 Billion.
If 1,400,000,000 people know about bitcoin then bitcoin is soo much popular.

Yes! Bitcoin needs alot more exposure for it to take off and be widely accepted as a alternative payment method. Advertisements does this fairly well.

Well everyone need more advertising, I mean everyone. The proof for this is Coca-Cola that still pays for advertising even though some would say that it has a brand name and a brand image that doesn't need commercials at all.

Have to agree with this point - no matter how big you are until you're the market leader (or have a monopoly) you can always try and reach more people. For Bitcoin as a currency - it'd just need to get to the point where everyone would use it, once that happens you wouldn't need to advertise anymore. It's just like any other currency - you never see anyone advertise for the USD.

I think that are very few they which don't agree with the fact that needed more advertising to make bitcoin more known. The "why" are to many but the example of Coca Cola (which is a world giant) is one of the most significant.

So i think that the problem which must be discussed could be another: "how to make true that"? In which way is possible to make possible the work of this "tool"? Coca Cola has its owners which work for their pockets. Bitcoin has only its followers which are everyone for itself and God for everyone. In other words the million dollar question is: How to make possible the advertising of bitcoin?

Maybe Bitcoin Foundation can play a decisive role in this direction.... But what we can do to move it?
