My question is who is going to fund this sort of thing.  Will it be community funded,and if so who is going to manage it.  A lot of these steps need to take place in order to have some success at advertising.
Great concepts (slowly but surely) advertise themselves. Sometimes it can have a domino effect. You tell one person, then they tell another, then those people tell several others, and so on. Of course greater opportunities for larger advertising will be needed, but we can't just jump from step A to step Z in a night without the proper funding. We will gradually obtain the funding through patience and vigorous work. We just have to plan, work hard, take our time and believe in our concepts and hone them to the best of our abilities.

Our time will come if we just stop doubting ourselves, and just believe.

Satoshi is rolling in his grave. #bitcoin
Bitcoins Have become an awesome mode of payment in today's life, but how will people know about it without advertising? It's a known thing that to get more consumers, you need to advertise your product, similarly btc needs some more advertising, especially in places where btc is still used rarely

Since there is no central institution to profit from such advertisement, since everybody would profit from it partialy - weather they invested in advertisement or not.
But rest assured - bitcoin with it's structure and constantly progressing services will make public and followers for themselves.

It's very hard to advertise decentralized thing like Bitcoin is. Why? Well advertising is expensive and someone needs to pay for it and getting people to pay for things when you are decentralized is much harder than it seems.

I would rather invest the money that we allocate for possible advertising into a development. We need a strong and robust product that delivers promised. If we have this, people will come to us in my opinion.
In my honest belief, great concepts eventually advertise themselves. People see it, take it and spread the word.

We just have to change our total approach to reach a wider audience. I don't know how much time we have left to do that though.

we can do it via integration in the biggest platform out there, like youtube facebook and google

if you come up with a tipping project, integrated for youtube facebook etc...it would be a win situation

Well i really hope someone has the skills to make bitcoin youtube get more attention,would be great someone make something and talk a bit about bitcoin,but how can someone do or say something that will attract attention ?
One thing i know with the openbazar ready and hot trading i guess will be the time to bring attention into bitcoin beneficts .

Seems a lot of people are expecting global scale tax evasion.

Couldn't this be simply solved by changing the tax model?

Get rid of income tax / tax on your savings and just increase the tax on goods. Seems simple to me and saves a lot of work.

They cannot tax on saving if you own bitcoin in your own wallet.

There will be consumption (goods and service) tax and property tax.

in the future if bitcoin became adopted everyone i'm sure they will put a tax even on your cold storage, you will be forced to declare your bitcoim

they can do this when they see you spend them, they would think that you have more, and at that point you must declare everything, exchanged for fiat ro not

I was just wondering how would the government be able to track your transactions up to the very last bit? They can force us to declare everything, but that doesn't mean that they will be able to watch every single thing we do with our bitcoins.


My guess would be that we no longer need governments, But it's going to take way more than 10 years for that to happen. Governments are centralized institutions after all.

I've tried to make most of my friends believers of bitcoin, but select few understand what it actually stands for.

The others will come later to you to learn about bitcoin.
This is good action and the results are pretty good in your case.
I think putting some stickers on the cars will make people curious about bitcoin.

My question is who is going to fund this sort of thing.  Will it be community funded,and if so who is going to manage it.  A lot of these steps need to take place in order to have some success at advertising.

It would be an initiative or a voluntary work since there are no central hubs in bitcoin in which we could ask money for this kind of advertisement. It would be a community effort since it is us, the community who will benefit from this if it nets us positive results.

Since there not a single company that owns the bitcoin,
It should be funded normally by third parties that use bitcoin.
Like coinbase, other exchanges and other services that accept bitcoin as a payment method.

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.

I think TV is still very powerful actually. In the future, we could make a TV advertisement of Bitcoin. I would help getting it out there. Paypal has a TV advertisement and they are marketing Paypal as some new cool way to pay with a smartphone... they know the big B is out there. But its still too soon to worry about advertisement, we must perfect the software first.

That could be a good idea to start with , 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 and YouTube channel idea , What are you planning to add there ?
It's never enough to advertise bitcoin ,  just couple of days ago . Ukraine trying to convince their citizens to use some other payment methods that reserve the user protection and that kind of things and india should also adopt this feature

i dont know how much advertising is going to help out. the thing that will draw people in is a rapid and steady rise in price. we can do this with something like the willy bot or be patient (and honest) and let the adoption cycle continue like it has been all along. nothing sells success like success.
But if they don't know about Bitcoin, then how would they even know the price is increasing.....

I think educating people about the advantages of bitxoin and the fun side of bitcoin is greater than introducing them directly to the price of a bitcoin. Well, the price will be forgotten once theyxrealize or once they knew how the denomination of bitcoin works.
This is gonna be off topic, but can I please quote what you said about the logo turning gold in my other thread please?

Yes, Yes, Yes, cant agree more with what you're saying. This would help bitcoin to gain its popularity.
