This is what I'm looking for. A bitcoin-related advertisement on national tv. I see it as the best way of promoting bitcoin since a lot of people across a country is watching tv, and it will make it easier to spread awareness about bitcoin. I would definitely love to see a bitcoin advertisement here in my country. The Philippines is a crypto-friendly country as well, so it would attract other local people. Unlike socmed promotions, people would easily trust ads on tv compared on the internet since there's a lot of fake news and info spreading there. While on tv, it's most likely to be trusted and approved products.
Indeed, actually there are some stores in the Philippines that accepts bitcoin as a payment for their product and service. The adoption is improving despite of some people doubting it because they thought it was a scam, well if that finally happens of course they will realize that they are wrong for judging bitcoin. It's pretty accurate that they tend to believe what they have seen in TV because they think that it won't be advertise if it's not legit right? so I guess it can also help our fellow Filipinos to adopt and accept bitcoin, it can also give them some idea that a digital currency existed and it can be used in our country. Great to see that some countries are looking for some ways to make their people realize about a cryptocurrency, it can make them more aware about bitcoin and hopefully accepts it and adopts it too.
Good move by the French TV. It's important they promote bitcoin, because we have too many bad promoters of cryptocurrency promoting some Ponzi coins and promising it will dethrone the bitcoin. Now that the mainstream media is doing a good job, it will help guide investors on the right digital gold to invest which is bitcoin and not any other scam or dealy shit. I will be attending a Seminar in Nigeria to stop a promoter from selling scam to the gullible.
Please understand, this is not a promotion for bitcoin. Unfortunately, governments haven't reached that level of adoption yet and we aren't to the level where they are going to ask people to use BTC. This is an ad for a payment processor, just like if crypto casinos advertised, they are showing off their casino, not bitcoin (at least directly, not BTC).
It doesn't look like a very good system, and it seems expensive. I get the impression that you buy a voucher, and then you have to g to your computer, and claim your coins in a wallet they provide. Is this true? Do you have to pay more fees to "spend" the coins in your wallet? I'm a cynic, and I wonder how long it will be before they introduce fractional reserve banking into their wallet structure.
Is there any more info about the wallet, and their exchange system?
There are massive fees! And it's not like swiping your phone at the counter, it involves many steps, having BTC, buying a voucher, and then redeeming it at those stores. Not really worth it, to be honest.
