Topic: Fund for Bitcoin promotion (Read 561 times)

  Those whale investors like Michael Saylor, Elon Musk, and Mark Zuckerberg somehow use their power of influence to convince a lot of people to believe in the belief that they have in Bitcoin. And this is also a point for our crypto enthusiasts too, at least for the reality of the things that are happening so far.

  No promotion has happened in a decade, but you will be surprised that Bitcoin still remains at the top of the market in the cryptocurrency business. So, of course, the other investors who are new will be surprised and invest quickly because they will think and know that many big companies and billionaire people are investing in Bitcoin. It's because of something like that that they are immediately convinced to invest long-term in Bitcoin, to be honest, and learning about bitcoin just follows for them.

Yes, we have survived the first decade without any promotions, hence that why in the beginning there are a lot of attacks on bitcoin and calling it names. But I guess this makes Bitcoin more stronger, as they keep on attacking it even at this point, we don't bother by it and just continue to buy and accumulate and now we have a country that make its legal. But if there are individuals who are going to promote it, let's say Michael Saylor, obviously he has some narrative behind. He is one of the biggest whales so far, so indeed he has to make a sales pitch whether he can, be it in his social media or going out in public to talk about BTC. But for us just average joe and ordinary investors, we might cross path with other people that might ask questions regarding Bitcoin and answer them the with the knowledge that we have. However, it's not a direct promotion, we will simply want people to discover it and hopefully make the (right) decision to invest.

Indeed. Bitcoin doesn't have a central authority promoting it.  Instead, Bitcoin depends on the businesses and people already using it to get the word out.  This grassroots kind of marketing lets Bitcoin grow more naturally as people and companies talk about why they like Bitcoin and how it helps them and  it's not like some big advertising campaign shoving Bitcoin at you.  The businesses who take Bitcoin or use its technology have a stake in seeing it succeed, so they want to spread the news about how Bitcoin can benefit people.  This means Bitcoin catches on because people actively choose to start accepting and using it, not because some central power forced it on everyone all at once.  The decentralized nature of Bitcoin puts its promotion in the hands of the users, and that's how it should be.

I also think that it worked that way because Bitcoin does not need to be looking for publicity, and the people it knows and has, well, they are the ones who are lucky, those who still do not know about bitcoin and are rejecting it. It's a matter of them doing it, I don't think they have to do a lot of advertising if there are always going to be enemies of bitcoin like governments and banks, they don't allow advertising, so those of us who make bitcoin advertising more attractive are us. More so because we can reach people who had not heard anything about bitcoin before and that is Something valuable.

Am aware of nothing not unless you are looking for scammers that will pretend to be good Samaritan but will only take the funds and run away.
actually we can help the advertisement on our own without asking anyone , just have them on a social media but of course not your main account so will not be exposed to scammers and hackers.
what I mean is that there are parameters we can use to help gaining audience and that is what we have to do.
don't let others collect funds for this just use yours.

They don't need to make an advertisement with the bitcoin, and they don't need to call the attention of everyone with the bitcoin because even though its happened already some of the people, communities or country are still close to the use of the bitcoin so you can't push them throughout, at the first place they didnt benefit too much if they make an advertisement with the small target audience if they want to make changes they need to have widely spread with the large companies or organization that adopt this Bitcoin, but again the main goal of the bitcoin becomes decentralized so expect once most of the people adopt this the platform we are using now are regulated with the centralized platforms because they need to have an approval with SEC additional with it is the Tax or the fees you are need to pay.

Just like bitcoin is decentralized and peer-to-peer money, its promoters are also decentralized and work peer-to-peer.

We are decentralized all around the world across hundreds of countries and cultures. We tell our friends and family about it and how it solves their own problems. There's no centralized promotion hub because we are all bitcoin promoters doing what we can in our own decentralized communities and personal networks to slowly get people to adopt bitcoin.

If you want to get connected to more people working on promoting bitcoin in their own unique way, you might enjoy the bitcoin crowdfunding platform Geyser (https://Geyser.fund). You are bound to find all sorts of amazing projects that are building bitcoin all around the world. If you can't find one that you like, you can start your own campaign and start to raise funds to promote bitcoin in your own unique way. Best of luck.

Yes. Not that it is wrong to introduce bitcoin as an investment opportunity, and people also don't have to be enthusiasts, if people find bitcoin useful and incorporate it to their daily lives then it's a good thing to utilize it for them. Nevertheless, if people want to deem bitcoin as a commodity it is also okay, even though bitcoin is mainly conceived as a way of transaction and payment.

We don't have to force people to use bitcoin for some specific purposes. Regarding your thought about advertising bitcoin by using or accepting its payment options, I do agree it is a great thing that helps to boost bitcoin awareness and adoption.

There isn't any group or such which are currently doing it but there are some well wishers who are publishing articles, blogs and Youtube channels to explain about Bitcoin and it's more of an educational thing rather than promotional one and that's the need of the hour. It's not possible to have a group aligned for same thing because everyone way of doing things will be different so we will never be able to come on same page especially when it's self funded. Forums like bitcointalk.org is also help user to gain more knowledge about bitcoin as well as every aspect of crypto but we need to educate two set of people, one those who are aware of Bitcoin but thinks it as any other investment scheme as we need explain the uses of bitcoin and why it was created, another set of people are the ones who have no knowledge about bitcoin and this would be a difficult task hence bright minds should come together and start series of online seminar but we may need funds to pool in the users as we have to reach out to them through digital marketing mode like Youtube/social media adverts on seminar.

This is aligns perfectly with my understanding of Bitcoin. A store of value and a medium of exchange does not need much advertising. Perhaps the author might be considering the fact Bitcoin is yet to gain mainstream adoption as it is still used by a very small percentage of the world's population. With time Bitcoin will surely catch up with the others... probably Bitcoin ETF approval will pave the way to wilder penetration of Bitcoin.

Nah, the purpose of this forum is not to promote Bitcoin to "the masses" but to provide a space where Bitcoin-related topics can be discussed freely. So I don't think that's what OP had in mind.
As for the donations, the forum raised quite a lot of them in the early days and have reserves that will last for years. The minimum donations for the "VIP" and "donator" badges have not been updated to reflect the current price and stay at 50btc and 10btc respectively. Obviously nobody will ever pay that much. The forum also suspended advertising (link here), so I think the only current revenue are small donations from the "copper" members.

I totally agree with you. Bitcoin owner Anonymous, has no company, so who will pay to promote Bitcoin like other altcoins. Bitcoin is the first cryptocurrency people know, so what does someone want to do by promoting Bitcoin?  I would like to ask the op how he can run promote bitcoin  that will be beneficial for bitcoin where he himself is dependent on bitcoin? I think it's a funny thing he he lol

Luxurious appearance still does not necessarily mean good quality. Good quality goods with a unique appearance, even though they are expensive, are of course people who know their advantages and will buy them and make good use of them.
Bitcoin is unique. The uniqueness of Bitcoin is that it can make its owners continue to want large amounts of Bitcoin.

For people who want to use Bitcoin as money, they can. People who want to make it as an investment can also.
Other people who see this item will definitely ask questions because they are curious about the uniqueness of Bitcoin.

There is no need for that anymore, something like this could have been useful at the initial stage when Bitcoin wasn't widespread and only a limited number of people knew about it, but at that time, no one knew how successful it was going to be in the future, and by the time it started getting popular, it didn't need advertising since it was already getting around pretty easily since no advertisement or promotion can do the work that can be done by users of a certain thing, and Bitcoin has got a lot of users now and it will keep spreading.

Now with all the famous people being involved with Bitcoin and news channels and everyone on the internet talking about it, it is getting free promotion all around, and there is no need for an organization to collect funds and use those funds to promote Bitcoin to the masses as it's already getting promoted to them without any cost.

I don't believe there's anything like that in existence because bitcoin in my opinion doesn't need to be that badly advertised. In a sense, this forum actually fits your criteria, the forum's got donators that help keep the lights on for the forum and many other things although this forum isn't technically an advertisement group, it stands as a pillar for the bitcoin movement especially since this was founded by Satoshi the bitcoin creator himself.

I have seen different individuals that are into bitcoin promotion, but the problem is their main goal is not to introduce bitcoin as a currency but to scam people and make them believe that bitcoin is a get quick rich thing. That is why instead of promoting bitcoin as a good alternative to fiat, people jump into conclusion that bitcoin is nothing but a Ponzi scheme. So for me, there’s no need for any group or individual person to promote bitcoin.

However, it’s a different story if you are into crypto or bitcoin business. It’s expected that you should promote bitcoin in order to attract investors to buy or sell bitcoin, or consider your crypto exchange as a legit and reliable one to make their transactions with.

Emm... do we really need promotions to make BTC known to more people? in reality, many companies, such as exchanges or lending platforms, use Bitcoin as a means to promote themselves. You're probably familiar with phrases like:

"Trade Bitcoin on platform X and get daily bonuses."
"Now we offer low-interest Bitcoin loans."

Bitcoin is already well known through these channels, which means that promoting Bitcoin through its reputation is sufficient... even today, I see people talking about Bitcoin through word of mouth, which has already helped it spread effectively. It's worth noting that major media outlets reporting on Bitcoin is a great form of promotion without spending money. Yes, news about Bitcoin can gain more traction in the market or internet due to its many surprises.

There is no need for any group for Bitcoin advertising but Bitcoin is becoming more and more popular in this digital world. If you want to teach someone in your area about Bitcoin, you can certainly teach him about crypto from his general knowledge. And if you try to teach them greedily, they will definitely be interested in investing just for the sake of getting rich quick, but Bitcoin is not for getting rich quick. A person must invest for a long period of time and face a lot of volatility in the market to become financially stable with Bitcoin. All things considered later a person needs to take good advice about Bitcoin but he will know about the science and slowly he will attract more people to Bitcoin. Currently, Bitcoin is advertised on all social media platforms, and many casinos and shopping malls accept Bitcoin payments. So Bitcoin is undoubtedly very popular now and I think there is no need to create a group for Bitcoin advertising.

Indeed, your arguments sufficiently demonstrate how bitcoin will advance on its own without human intervention. Just take a look at how many people are aware of bitcoin today—thousands of people, to be exact—and how, I believe, they are not actively promoting it. Instead, people will simply search for bitcoin, and it will continue to grow on its own without any further assistance. Anything that deals with profit when you invest in it doesn't need to be advertised; it has to advertise itself because people have to come to it. Bitcoin is an investment where you can invest any amount of money you have to buy your coin and when the price of the coin you gain a better profit.

According to what I understand, there is no need to create a group to promote bitcoin because, even at first, not many people are aware of it. However, since those who do understand it have been able to profit from it after investing, holding onto it for a while, and then selling it, many more people have become interested in it. Even less educated people have begun to approach those who are knowledgeable about it for advice on how to invest because they stand to gain financially from doing so.

I don't think that there's a need to have groups or fund a group to promote and spread anything about bitcoin, simply because bitcoin is largely known in the world, especially on the internet. And as bitcoin sticks to the word "blockchain," meaning blockchain is an advanced technology and well known, we know that if we talk about blockchain, people will know it immediately.

And even if there are groups that promote bitcoin, many people will still not pay attention to it, especially those who are not into internet things. As we know, bitcoin is a complex technology, and even if it's an opportunity to make a profit, some people can't understand the concept of it. Yes, promoting bitcoin will be a good idea, but we can't force the crowd to know and be involved in this industry. Bitcoin is well known around the world, so there's no need to do more promotions.

By now, almost everyone knows what Bitcoin is, and it has that reputation without all the extras that come with standard advertising. But let's get rid of the noise: brightness and exposure are the same thing. Bitcoin might not "need" ads, but think of all the new customers it could reach with a good campaign. Think about the parts of society that haven't used crypto yet; they arent searching the web for blockchain stories.

Yeah, the costs are high. No one wants to spend money if they arent sure they will get it back. Thats it, though, right? High risk, but the payoff could be bigger. With all the attention on Bitcoin, we might be on the verge of a boom or bust. Value and desire will go through the roof if its done right. If not, its a waste of money.

The really interesting thing about this is how growth and natural spread are opposites. A slow burn makes sure that only people who understand it spend, but advertising could speed up the rise to even greater heights. Being there is just as important as having worth. And these days, having a position is the same as having power.

Bitcoin is a decentralized project so its developments are contributed by many people, decentralized globally. If we appreciate their development works, products, let's donate bitcoin to their donation addresses. Each well-known Bitcoin developer has a donation address and we are free to support them.

Check their Github, personal websites, products they have built and if we have good finance, make donation is a good step to do.

Support must be contributed with freedom, not mandatory. Donation is for individual developer, not for a group of developers. A decentralized project should not have a centralized donation fund.

The question is "Do we really need to?"

I mean Bitcoin become popular without any promotion except from it's supports who are constantly promoting it for "FREE". Group that collects funds for Bitcoin promotion? That sounds more of a scam to me TBH, or if not, it will not be used properly. I'm not against it, but for me, we don't need it. We don't need a central authority to focus on the marketing side of Bitcoin. After all, it's a currency, not a product or service whatsoever.

Let's just focus on what it is I guess. Let us, Bitcoin supporters promote it "FOR FREE". We don't need a group of people to promote it because we can do it ourselves right? Let the developers maintain it, and we as supports do our thing.

Bitcoin does not need funds to promote itself - it has been promoted for free so far. Many centralized platforms utilize bitcoin to attract their customers - so I don't think bitcoin needs to pay much for such promotions. You should realize that because you've been here since 2017 - but your question doesn't make sense.

In my opinion, Bitcoin has already taken a place to be prominent, so there is no more justification for it to be promoted through advertising. Because if we look at his standard of Bitcoin, which is already much more than enough to trademark, although some things like brands or other stuff need promotion, it means they need to be promoted and relayed to others to be shown, like other businesses or brands. But if a thing has to meet all the criteria that are required for a brand or other stuff like fame, which is Bitcoin, they are well-known, while Bitcoin is a well-known thing and is not dependent on others.

It means that Bitcoin doesn't need to be promoted more, while we need to put more emphasis on educating people about it because education can bring up more awareness about it, there will be more interest in it, and more people have to come to take part in Bitcoin, and it will show up a path in which whoever follows it's right, so their aim will come true after the return of their investment.

We don't need that honestly. Those that have done that in the past that has such good hearts, they probably were just closed circle of friends or individuals that have tried to give their contribution and to show how much they are supporting bitcoin.

The news that are being brought by the media are more than enough to give exposure for Bitcoin and to reach those that don't have an idea yet about Bitcoin or crypto. But if you think that this is needed then go to those foundations that have been posted here and has their organizations organize things. Again, it's not needed at all and Bitcoin thrived to popularity based on different sentiments from the people including the most negative ones and FUDs.

Those who are promoting BTC are also the consumers of it, and we are also consumers of BTC, so what different impact they will make that we cannot make? Will they convince people around you more than your own words? If you really wanted to promote BTC then make some banners and start teaching about BTC for free of cost also try to give them incentives like one of the members here tried to do.

And what do you mean by such mediums should be targeted? because there are many international and local mediums that are trying hard to promote BTC not because they like BTC so much, but just because they do know BTC can change their lives BTC can prevent a gambler from wasting his money on gambling and can move it to the BTC.

BTC has provided a new way for the poor to be rich in no time, it makes many millionaires and after doing some research I found these 2 platforms that can be considered as promotive companies for BTC but I prefer to do your own research.

• Quote from: https://www.media.mit.edu/groups/digital-currency-initiative-dci/overview/
  The Digital Currency Initiative strives to be a neutral leader of world-class research to push the boundaries of knowledge around cryptocurrency and its underlying distributed ledger technology.
• Bitcoin Foundation

You can also count Coin Center in it.

Bitcoin is already known by so many people and that's why it's not needed to promote it further via advertisements. When the next halving event takes place and the next bull run starts people will promote Bitcoin themselves and the whole media will promote it via their live advertisements.

The audience is mostly on TV media and social media and they really give time to hear anchors and social media influencers. The influencers and TV anchors will promote Bitcoin for free of cost and they'll earn from such promotions. In face Bitcoin isn't like other crypto-currencies that rely on promotions.

Best way to promote Bitcoin is to talk about it. You do not need money to do that. Just do your part and make sure that, thanks to you, someone new joins the coiner community.

But either way it will happen, I think. Bitcoin is just too good to pass up, especially if you understand why. Unfortunately, the understanding of the "why" part is really hard for some people because it is technical.

Lucky for them, experts can explain it in terms they can understand.

I am just surprised that this thread created just today is upto the 3rd page. And there's no serious discussion happening in this thread. The thread itself looks like a low quality discussion thread.

OP, if this suggestion of yours  about bitcoin advertisment came 8yrs ago, it would have been fine. Because that is when I really think that bitcoin needed help and not now. I think you will be around when the bull run will start. Only the wave of the bull run will introduce millions to bitcoin. I don't think bitcoin needs any advertisement.

Bitcoin doesn't need those groups because Bitcoin also doesn't need any promotion like that. Bitcoin should not be thought of as a shit altcoin that needs promotion to attract investors. Bitcoin is promoted by itself, but sometimes some big whales use the name of Bitcoin to gain profit by manipulating the market.
So stop thinking of Bitcoin as a project or a centralized company that needs funds to promote. It's a fully decentralised system that maintains both privacy and economic freedom. Moreover it is already popular so I think it doesn't need any specific advertisement, but a large part of the world's population still doesn't know about the proper use of Bitcoin so to make them aware everyone who is associated with it should aware them about the uses of bitcoin from then own position.

Come on, give it a break man.
What reason might it be that there should be some form of promotion for Bitcoin? At what end?

For the few years I’ve spent within this space, Bitcoin isn’t soliciting for any form of promotion to get the recognition it needs, but still, it goes viral at a good pace.

No need to not let things move at it’s own pace and having a group for fund raising and promotion isn’t going to help either. Any flaw in such systems would be attributed to the Bitcoin initiative and that is something we wouldn’t want to deal with.
Don’t go about seeking such and get scammed because, ideas such as this is capitalized on by scammers. One best means to mean well for Bitcoin and yourself is buy some yourself. Grow your portfolio.

It's actually funny, but all the shitcoin casinos and scams are doing all in their power to promote themselves.
FTX was everywhere and sponsored a lot of events.
Bitconnect organized conventions.
Crypto.com is in all the major sports events, including formula 1 and UFC. (it's not a scam, but they're promoting shitcoins and NFTs, so it's as close as it can be).

Does bitcoin really want to be in that company, fighting for profit-hungry investors?

We had something like that in the past, it was called the Bitcoin Foundation:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/ann-bitcoin-foundation-113400
https://www.bitcoinfoundation.org/

I'm actually surprised the website (and the foundation?) is still alive.
I remember there being some controversies around it, including unusually high salary of the foundation's secretary and some other ones.

As much as there was some point of having such organisation at the very begining of Bitcoin, when there was a lot of uncertainty etc, I don't think we need anything of that sort anymore as we already reached mainstream. It would also create a false idea that there is some form of Bitcoin's central entity that could be confusing to people who are new to Bitcoin.

What we would actually need is a bunch of professional lobbyist in the US (we already had those too) to make sure no regulations harmful to crypto are passed.

The age of Bitcoin until 2023 is 14 years. During the previous years, Bitcoin has been widely promoted by influencers, celebrities, entrepreneurs, companies, and everyone who is involved with modern technology. Bitcoin is one of the most popular cryptocurrencies worldwide, and it is the leading currency that dominates the market. Therefore, it can be said that Bitcoin already has wide popularity, and I do not think there is an educated audience that does not know about this currency yet. In addition, this forum and other popular blogs and sites already have many educational articles and detailed explanations about Bitcoin and everything related to it. Frankly, the idea of creating ads by any group for Bitcoin could include suspicious links or scams, so anyone who wants to understand the crypto field should only rely on trusted sources.

What for? Promotion? Why? Doing such won’t do any good to this industry. Allow things to happen with governments and big companies. Advertisement will indeed encourage small investors but things would be the same to the extent of just more people will be too hopeful because of the idea of profit. Risk is still big due to market price volatility and that should be the bottomline. Remember the previous ATH wherein many people dove into crypto industry but regret it afterwards when dump took place. I’d prefer smaller number of investors but with enough knowledge to hande its nature than more bunch of people hoping to be a millionaire within a single day. Don’t get me wrong; I like the idea of more people getting interested in this technology but that depends on their intention and idea of what it actually is.

At this point I don't know if they are trying to make Articles with bitcoin or to make advertisements that they have to see with bitcoin, because they are very good, but something like that is no longer popular, because most people know that the best investment of all of it is with bitcoin, that the bathrooms, that any other institution is not the solution Because it is known that what brings the most Benefit is the bitcoin, for that reason we always do many things to be able to stay up to date with this , we follow the news a lot , we Read to see what we do or what they Recommend , I think that bitcoin no longer needs any type of advertising just to make people buy if they Want to be Millionaires.

Bitcoin does not have and never had any team, road map or marketing budget like other crypto projects. Any advertisement that you've come across in the form of promotional videos, branded tshirts, posters etc. were taken on by Bitcoin enthusiasts on their own. Bitcoin has a growing network effect and does not need some sorts of shill to gain traction. From 2012 to date, Bitcoin addresses with non zero balance have risen from 1 million to 42 million without a marketing budget, and that's organic.

I think there's none since its your own money that you would have to use to promote Bitcoin, so raising funds to promote Bitcoin doesn't sound convincing to other as they know that Bitcoin is already popular coin and widely spread. By being known independently, we could observe that Bitcoin has been already promoted lowkey by just simply mentioning the name "Bitcoin" as some would be curious. For example from movies, sometimes in the movie Bitcoin could be mentioned from doing illegal transactions (so far from movies I have watched) and some would explain it like from the Euphoria the series.

From that, it could already gather audience to be aware and acknowledge Bitcoin. Plus, in the internet you could already do a lot of things by just simply doing a video regarding Bitcoin, memes which is popular nowadays, and etc. And also you can spread the word individually like from your friends, which is very common way of promoting even from the past, which is orally passing information to everyone. Cause they would pass the information from one person to another.

There's none and there's no need to. Bitcoin's big enough that it could sell itself with little to no introduction. Anyone who says they will setup a bitcoin promotion should do this without the help of the people in here, I mean sure people could chip in and all that shit but the problem is that this has been used by scammers in the past to fool people into giving their money. Someone's going to say something along the lines of "hey, we're going to make a world-class bitcoin advertisement, but we would need your help financially", people will chip in their money, and the ad wouldn't come into existence cause the money's going to be taken away by these people. If you're going to promote bitcoin or whatever, do it free or do it out of your own pocket.

Bitcoin is already everywhere; do we still need to form a group to promote and advertise bitcoin? NO.
The Bitcointalk forum is enough for bitcoin knowledge and awareness; we don't need any other group that may lead to scamming people because once groups are created, people will fake them and use that medium to defraud people.

Towns and villages now hear about bitcoin; some of them know what it means and how it has been used, while others do not know anything about it but know it exists. With time, I am sure they will get to know it and will adopt it when they know what it is all about, especially the decentralization and financial freedom part.

Until now I have never heard of any group advertising bitcoin specifically. Because in my personal opinion Bitcoin does not require advertising or promotional actions in any form. Because currently bitcoin can be said to have become a very well-known asset. Plus, as far as I know, Bitcoin got to the point it is today, without anyone specifically promoting it (on a large scale). So you could say that all of Bitcoin's success just flows because of the quality it has. So in my personal opinion, Bitcoin does not need advertising. Because there are no factors that require Bitcoin to be advertised.

However, if for example Bitcoin is promoted, chances are that the results will be very good. Because with promotions, Bitcoin will definitely become more widely known.
But as you said, advertising bitcoin definitely requires quite a lot of funds. So it is very likely that all groups/bitcoin investors will be a little reluctant if they have to promote bitcoin by spending their own funds. So in conclusion, Bitcoin does not require any promotional or advertising steps. Because in my personal opinion, although it will most likely be a little slow, it would be better if bitcoin spread throughout the world by itself. So Bitcoin will become a more expensive, valuable and special asset.

op never mind I think it's better not to advertise on bitcoin. Bitcoin has become very popular without advertising and the popularity of Bitcoin will increase in the future. However, if ads can be placed, they can be placed in countries where Bitcoin is valid. It cannot be expected that the government of our country will ever declare Bitcoin legal. Bitcoin can be advertised if the government of the country where the government of the country is legalizing Bitcoin wants the people of that country to go further with Bitcoin.

I think @OP want a promotion where it could gather a lot audience and it's not really about Bitcoin niche e.g. casino promoting through streamer, sport, Bitcoin wallet, etc which I'd say a creative promotions.

For Bitcoin, it's related to investment and making money online, but I think such way will not get a lot audience because they prefer to gambling as they realize now, the easy 100x multiplies wouldn't happen in Bitcoin anymore.

bitcoin does not need advertising to develop because from the beginning it was created by satoshi nakamoto until today, the development of bitcoin is due to people's interactions on the internet and the various digital content they produce. and what makes it grow is the features it offers, its future potential, and a strong community globally, all these factors make bitcoin no longer need advertising to be adopted by more people around the world.

 
If there is an offer, I believe people will create groups to promote Bitcoin, but Bitcoin is not owned by anyone or group people but was created by Satoshi for the public to serve as an alternative to fiat currency for the freedom of privacy and other purposes. I believe it is individual contributions to Bitcoin in one or two ways. So with reason, that Bitcoin is not own by  group of people, so I don't think it needs a sponsor for advertisement but the work of an individual who is willing to help and promote Bitcoin by making people aware of it.

In fact, I don't think Bitcoin needs promotion again because if you go to many social media sites now, you will definitely find people discussing Bitcoin or find news about Bitcoin there. I don't think Bitcoin is new to people, but the truth is that it is going to be a gradual process of adoption because people need to get confused enough about Bitcoin before they adopt it, and I believe that people adopt Bitcoin every day despite the fact that there are still people who will give up because of scam activities in the cryptocurrency industry, like leaving their coin in exchange or for other reasons.

Isn't this forum already doing that? I mean, creating awareness. A lot of us got here through advertised links on different sites. Whether those articles were paid for or not is what I don't know. There may not be specific groups that collect money to promote Bitcoin but I know that certain individuals do that in their own capacity and that's to get the word out there about Bitcoin; again, to also promote their own affiliate businesses linked to Bitcoin. Whichever way, it's a win-win.

The best way to advertise Bitcoin is by incorporating it into your daily living, if you have goods or services you sell to people, accepting Bitcoin as a means of exchange is an amazing way to advertise Bitcoin also if you are a consumer of any goods and services opting to pay with Bitcoin is a unique way of promoting Bitcoin.
But most importantly telling people about the opportunities of Bitcoin not just the investment opportunity is a good way of not only leading people to Bitcoin but also it ensures they become enthusiast because many have sold of their Bitcoin during the dip and this has to do with how Bitcoin was introduced to them.

I haven't met anyone in my city raising funds for Bitcoin promotion. People have heard about Bitcoin from social media sites reporting Bitcoin prices. So maybe they won't raise funds to promote Bitcoin.

But people don't need to raise funds to promote Bitcoin. They can write or take pictures or do something related to Bitcoin. It will attract the attention of people who don't know about Bitcoin.

And all this time, people have been promoting Bitcoin individually on social media. They shared the moments of profit they got from Bitoin and this also made people curious.

Yes, right. From its initial appearance to creating several sensations such as buying pizza using Bitcoin, Bitcoin was included in the list of safe haven assets until it entered the Bloomberg media and as you said, this was an effort to promote Bitcoin. And in my opinion Bitcoin is certainly not too concerned about promotion, because every good benefit generated by Bitcoin will gradually lead to mass distribution and adoption door to door or by word of mouth.

As long as Bitcoin enters and becomes a hot topic on television or the economy, Bitcoin promotion is still alive.

Like luxury goods and luxury cars, you don't need a lot of advertising, interested people will come by themselves.

Bees never tell anyone that honey is sweet, only those who know and are interested will understand the taste.

In almost every country the name Bitcoin is known. Who did it? how it happened and how much money was poured into making Bitcoin famous throughout the world, even legislative members were willing to spread out a piece of paper that said Buy Bitcoin in official meetings.
Bitcoin continues to be talked about day after day at every opportunity and for me it is the group that made Bitcoin famous without spending any money to promote it.

Bitcoin is a valuable asset. People are looking for it and want to have it. Only people in the anti-Bitcoin circle continue to hate even though we can't get into their hearts, but we can feel that behind their anti-Bitcoin attitude they really want Bitcoin.

Pretty much there is not any urgency to advertise bitcoin. A money spent for bitcoin is better flowed into supporting the ecosystem. Like funding bitcoin developers or creating a grants for bitcoin-related project. We know that the community better invest more to the developments of the project.

Directly advertise bitcoin is also currently not a necessity.

Be careful of this --it could possibly lead to a scam because there is no such group that promotes bitcoin and bitcoin is not a company that needs to be promoted. Keep in mind that bitcoin is on a decentralized and open-source protocol, meaning it does not have a central authority or company responsible for marketing or promotion. It relies on the community and its users to maintain and improve the network. It could be because its value and popularity have grown without the need for advertising or promotion.
If there is --perhaps voluntarily promoted by someone.

It's not needed anymore because Bitcoin isn't a company. We are part of the ecosystem, and its demand will naturally make it popular. The idea of decentralization means that we, the users, essentially own the network. We don't have to promote it as big companies would. When they see people using it, they'll be the ones advertising it.

Additionally, the growing bull market is one of the reasons why Bitcoin will remain popular. So, there's no need to worry. Let it grow naturally through increased adoption.

There is no group for bitcoin promotion, and in case you see one, know that it's created by scammers trying to scam people. Have you ever heard anyone promote bitcoin before? Most of the time, when people promote bitcoin they are expecting something in return, they are doing it for their own selfish interests. Since bitcoin was created, I haven't heard about any group promoting bitcoin, bitcoin is promoting itself. I know scammers might want to use that as an opportunity to scam people. That's why we have to be very careful. If you see anyone claiming to be promoting bitcoin and asking for money, just know it's fake.

If groups like this exist, scammers already have another strategy to scam people. It will end up being hijacked by scammers because everyone will end up creating groups claiming to be promoting bitcoin and requesting donations, and I am sure people will definitely fall for it. It's just better, as groups like that don't even exist, and no one should even think about starting one.

Why need promotion for bitcoin and there bitcoin owner is anonymous then who will spend money for bitcoin promotion. I have never seen any group that funds the promotion of Bitcoin. And never even heard of such a group.  Seeing your post today is the first time I know of anyone looking for such a group. Bitcoin does not need any promotion it is a coin that is already known to everyone.

If a group like this exists we can find it because it will be in the media spotlight with their quite interesting ways. However, so far I have not found a way of promotion like that, because it would clearly trigger one of them to betray. I mean, with such a large budget and being able to raise funds, most of it is being used in the wrong way. Meanwhile, Bitcoin promotional label has the effect of damaging people's view of Bitcoin.

Unfortunately there is no group that does this, we only do it when we feel it's going to attract new investors and we don't get paid for doing it, I have did this few times before, and later I relocate from the area, those who really saw meaningful sense in it later contacted me but the majority of them don't care.

I later stop doing it because too many people still believe that Bitcoin is a scam, I know a mother who told his son not to get involved in Bitcoin that it's a scam, without them knowing anything about Bitcoin, there are few other reactions from different people too, I am really not motivated to spread the news anymore.

Later it get to a certain way that I think it's not needed, I believe that Bitcoin is now more popular than ever, things are now different from what it used to, so whether people join or not they will eventually realize that they are missing out in future.

Where do they invest the amount they get as donations ?

If you are sitting in one place and someone comes and meets you, there is a group in which people pay and they advertise bitcoin. Are you going to believe such a person as someone who holds this type of position in the bitcoin community? Because I can see that you are now a full member rank in this forum, which obviously means you know the answer to your question. However, bitcoin has already gained awareness, so how can you advertise a currency that is for transactions and an asset for investment? I think for you to be in this forum in this position, you need to be aware of this kind of thing that bitcoin doesn’t need to advertise.

However, people advertise what they know about for such things to gain recognition. What about bitcoin? That is already past that level of recognition; millions of people are already using bitcoin, so I don’t think such things exist.

This is so much not true. Why would we need a group to promote Bitcoin? For whom we should promote and what we can achieve with it. I have no clue what OP is thinking but you are definitely getting some wrong ideas for sure. Bitcoin never got promoted by anyone in the past nor its creator ever stepped in to talk about it. Haha.

Bitcoin is charm in itself and it has already reached crazy number of peeps over short course of time without marketing. It got its way up with only mouth to mouth publicity. Number of products that are dependent on bitcoin have also grown up (exchanges, share market, money market, other institutes). They already made it possible for bitcoin to become a platform of choice and it’s not possible without Bitcoin to run them. That’s how it self promotes.

What I know is not there. CMIIW.


Bitcoin which is already well known as today, no longer requires advertisements because the internet is already in the grip that is easier to find out information about Bitcoin.
Just take advantage of the search button, the information about Bitcoin will be available.
In my opinion, what is needed now is a group of people who can distinguish FUD information from the truth of information about Bitcoin amid the easy access room for information media.

About Bitcoin advertisement, read this post,

These efforts are individual and in voluntary, unpaid campaigns, you will find that they are far from coordinated, and if coordination takes place, it will be within limits other than financial limits. I do not think that there are paid campaigns for Bitcoin directly, but rather sometimes Bitcoin is mentioned in advertisements for altcoins or projects related to cryptocurrencies such as Binance, gambling services or other services related to Bitcoin.

In recent months, I have started to see Bitcoin either in sports club halls, or on billboards in stadiums, or being mentioned in some series and movies, so it does not need paid promotions.

Such group might exit, but I have never come in contact with anyone. But it is common to see crypto exchanges and other service providers include Bitcoin in their promotional activities. Most advertisements will always include the Bitcoin logo or name on their websites and social media platforms bitcoin is the most important cryptocurrency that will always be mentioned if you are discussing or dealing on cryptos.

It is also common to see presidents discuss Bitcoin and two nations have adopted Bitcoin as legal tender, El Salvador is standing with Bitcoin while sadly Central African Republic has repelled the law. The president of El Salvador Nayid Bukele has been steadfast regardless of the challenges and attacks he is facing from global actors. Presidential aspirants in the US and Argentina have also included bitcoin policies in their manifestos making it popular in the country.

There are also top business executives like Michael J. Saylor the Former CEO of MicroStrategy who are die-hard supporters of Bitcoin. They openly speak well about which also promotes Bitcoin.

Other genuine social media influencers have done a good job in promoting Bitcoin such as Andreas M. Antonopoulos. We also have reliable websites such as bitcointalk.org that give free Bitcoin educational services to the public. Don't forget that reputable members of the forum freely give information about the Bitcoin space, this is also a promotional endeavor. It is common to see people ask questions and receive quality answers from this forum. Individual members of the forum also engage in Bitcoin promotion, there are posts in the forum where members engage in awareness programs in their location.

I don't think there is really a need for a coordinated paid advertising for Bitcoin. Remember that Bitcoin experienced immense growth through the years with the power of the word of mouth. People are more powerful in spreading the good news of Bitcoin...plus we know that there is nothing more convincing than the idea that with Bitcoin one can be making big money in the long run. And then we also have many exchanges and they are advertising all over and their platforms certainly put a spotlight on Bitcoin as the top crypto-based asset. Now, having said that, maybe what we should instead focus on is educating people especially the youngsters - the future of any nation - to learn more on Bitcoin, cryptocurrency and the blockchain and the advantages they are bringing.

Bitcoin has gone beyond the level of promotion because so many people are aware that bitcoin is a digital gold and has good value, this is why the government is finding every means to see if they can centralize it but it is impossible. This is why SEC wants to approve Bitcoin ETF so that people can keep their bitcoin in a third party custody, which is wrong. Switch on your television and you will see the news of bitcoin all over the place. If you are think bitcoin must be promoted, then you can do it in your locality by teaching people the basic concept of bitcoin and the difference of bitcoin from altcoins, so that they don't end up investing blindly.

I believe almost everyone already heard "Bitcoin" terms somewhere whether it's related to scam, money laundering, illegal, ponzi scheme, get rich quick, investment or decentralization. If they're curious and want to learn about Bitcoin, they can use their phone to find any article or video related to Bitcoin.

So why Bitcoin is not yet achieve mass adoption? it's because many people still not willing to buy Bitcoin and it's completely fine since they have freedom to choose, similar like Bitcoin is decentralized and it's a freedom too.

It's a pretty stupid idea, to be honest. It seems that the person proposing it has no idea what bitcoin is all about, otherwise he wouldn't be proposing it.


Yes, and considering bitcoin as a commodity, it would be like someone collecting funds to promote wheat, oil or gold and not realising that it is the oil companies, jewellers or bakers who promote their own businesses, not the commodity.

Bitcoin is one thing that needs no advertisement. and I don't think there is any group that will fund you to promote bitcoin. Bitcoin is known all over the world and so far no alternative coin has come to the market. and every coin in the crypto market is based on Bitcoin. and since every company in the current market crypto coin and future coins support Bitcoin and they themselves use Bitcoin and depend on Bitcoin, Bitcoin advertising becomes automatic. So no organization or group will ever fund you to promote Bitcoin.  But those who are minded and loved bitcoin are likely to personally promote bitcoin themselves

Do we really need that if I may ask because bitcoin to me is generally known and there is no place or country that doesn't know about bitcoin, bitcoin is regularly mentioned in every local news channel especially television, radio station and many more. Most of the artist also includes it in their songs and social media are being spread and populated by bitcoin discussion and many more so having a fund for bitcoin promotion is like wasting funds because it's already been recognized what we are expecting is just for it to be legalized globally.

There may be a group that maybe into crypto advertisements, and it may be helpful for other altcoins because they are owned by group members who may be ready to pay for the advertisement of their token because they need people to invest in their projects, but in bitcoin, it doesn't work like that because Bitcoin is not a company that is owned and controlled by anyone. So if Bitcoin is not owned by anyone or a company that is there to pay for its advertisement, and by the way, I don't think Bitcoin should be advertised by any group before it can continue to gain awareness; Bitcoin has already gained more awareness, but the main problem Bitcoin is facing now that the rate of adoption is higher than our expectations is governments. If the government can legalize Bitcoin, you will see the rate of adoption increase rapidly.
 
It is not that people are not aware of Bitcoin, but because it is legalized in many countries, that is why people are not much into it because if they try it, they may serve punishment for that because it is against their country's laws, and that is why even people who are aware of it have not adopted it. The advantages of Bitcoin have spread its awareness everywhere among individuals that are into the system, so Bitcoin did not need any group to advertise it before it continued to become more familiar with it.
 

bitcoin doesn't need awareness , people needs education that this is not a scam or ponzi scheme, bitcoin is popular enough but most people think that it is scam or something.
so we need to make them know about benefits of bitcoin and blockchain technology,
they just hear others and take decisions if they were curious enough to learn more about bitcoin then they should been fan of bitcoin by now.

dollar is not advertised but businesses using the dollar are.. those businesses advertise themselves
gold is not advertised but businesses using gold are.. those businesses advertise themselves

bitcoin doesnt advertise itself, but businesses using bitcoin do advertise themselves

I think creating group ads can be an effective way to promote Bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies. However, it is important to be careful with advertising so that people's correct knowledge and beliefs are not mixed with false information. Also could use an interesting picture or chart on future Bitcoin projects. Ads can be published on social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn etc. You can post ads on various cryptocurrency forums and communities, which can help gain exposure to relevant people, but I don't think it's necessary. Whereas Bitcoin is a volatile regulator as well as providing more knowledge and awareness among the people. Bitcoin itself is a powerful technology, which can help people pass more interests.

Such project is so expensive and will require funding. I don't know where funds can come from or if donation from forum like this one is enough. Nevertheless,  I understand a lot of people are already putting extra efforts at educating people about Bitcoin even from their immediate families and Communities. If more people can toe this line, the outreach will be wilder and more people will become aware of Bitcoin.

To be sincere, Bitcoin awareness have gone deeper than many of us can imagine, just that a lot of people who have heard about Bitcoin does not have sufficient knowledge that can make them start using and investing in Bitcoin; that extra push is what is missing.

You're absolutely right. People don't need to be convinced to buy Bitcoin, those investing in it are doing it because they see its value and potential. One reason why advertising Bitcoin might not be necessary is that its growth has been driven by its utility and value. Bitcoin is a decentralized and open source project that doesn't have a central authority that controls it and it's neither controlled by any company or government. It is built on a blockchain network which is maintained by thousands of computers around the world. This makes it resistant to censorship and control by any one entity. Since Bitcoin is decentralized, advertising it in the traditional sense would be very difficult. There's no one company or group that owns Bitcoin and can promote it. Op, if I may ask, do you want to sponsor the group for promotion?

If I wish to promote bitcoins, I will do it personally because it can be done and not want to donate or contribute funds to any group that claim to be for the promotion of bitcoins. I find it hard to trust these kinds of groups because they are sometimes never transparent with the amount of money that they receive and may not spend all the money they receive on the purpose for which it was donated to them.

Bitcoin is already big enough and it is different than altcoins, shitcoins that only rely on marketing to shill their shitcoins to investors, create pump and dump games to steal money, bitcoin from cryptocurrency investors.

Bitcoin does not need fund for marketing, promotion and do you think that it is always better to have organic growth?

Bitcoin has its organic growth because it has big developer communities who develop great things for Bitcoin users. If you want to support them, send your bitcoin, satoshis to their donation addresses.

Bitcoin is a currency/financial asset, not a product or service.
The crypto companies are advertising their own crypto services. They don't advertise Bitcoin, because they aren't making profits from selling Bitcoins(at least not all of them).
Bitcoin has gotten more than enough global recognition and more than enough free publicity in the last few years. Nowadays, almost every person, who has a computer and access to the internet has heard about Bitcoin at least once. That doesn't necessarily mean that the people, who have heard or read about Bitcoin will buy BTC right away.

Bitcoin  doesn't need to be advertised, Bitcoin is getting more awareness everyday and people don't need to be convinced to buy bitcoin because it is volatile and it doesn't make one to become rich quickly. People will get to know Bitcoin at their time which they will have more interest to consider understanding first and not to get rich from it. Their is no need to advertise Bitcoin because it is no man property, and it is getting more awareness so fast more than what you think. Bitcoin have already come this big without any advertisement,  their is no need to start advertising Bitcoin now.

There isn’t any group that does that. Many Bitcoin enthusiasts wants the idea of Bitcoin promotion, but keep in mind that what we need is to use our individual resource and promote Bitcoin in our own unique way instead of relying on any one else. I’ve seen people write articles, etc. and that shows that we can somehow create Bitcoin related content for promotion. Like I said, it could be through writing articles, creating memes or educational videos, organizing local meetups, or discussing Bitcoin with family and friends, one's personal promotion efforts can be just as impactful too.

Is there some group which collects funds for Bitcoin promotion? If some group like this can create advertisements for Bitcoin, more people can become aware. Such mediums should be targeted which have reach on audience that is still not familiar with crypto.
