Bitcoin is a currency. You don't see advertisements for currencies on TV, nor anywhere.
We can only dream of an exchange making adverts, but if they can afford a super bowl ad, it would mean their fees are way too high.

I agree there should be more communication about bitcoin, but no TV ads.

Just what I said, neither vid is an advert for a currency.
First vid shows how greedy we are, second is an ad for a trading company.

Save image. Crop one out. Hunt its cousin via Google image search. Then tell us.

Media beat the hell out of Bitcoin and left a lasting negative impression.  My father says Bitcoin has no value because Ann Barnhardt said, “You don’t own anything you can’t stand in front of with an AK47 and defend.” My sister doesn’t want to know anything about Bitcoin because a twitter celebrity, Kelly Oxford, told her not to.

Bitcoin is about freedom of money. Isn't your freedom something worth defending?

What freedom means to a crow:



What freedom means to a cat:



What freedom means to a deer:



What freedom means to...WTF!

I think I need to clarify my points.

1. Currently Bitcoin has a negative reputation which has lead to government regulation and other negative impacts.
2. Point number one will continue unless there is an active, concise effort to rectify it.
3. The people who will benefit the most from point two should be the ones to contribute to the effort.

One of many possible scenarios could be a as simple as a member of the Bitcoin Foundation soliciting it's larger business members for a donation. Then taking the allocated funds to a marketing agency to produce a campaign that benefits the Bitcoin community.  I'm not saying that's how it should go down. I'm just asking that something be done.

Also,
Doritos != basic human and/or animal rights.
, the vast deception of GMO corn and chili powder... Shocked

I'll have to concur. But, name a product that isn't pure. Better yet, name pure products that should only be purchased via bitcoins.

Not a diss. Just an observation.

If Monsanto can use manipulation to make a profit, we can use GMO corn Doritos to further the Bitcoin cause.

Would be a lot better to spend the $ needed to do a commercial in other areas.

People said this about everything new

The internet is just a fad.

lol gov't printed $ is worthless--my gold and silver is the only thing of value.

They're right sometimes, but when they're wrong they're wayyyyyyy wrong.

Assuming the very best commercial were produced, the next day we won't see millions of people paying a 5% premium to obtain bitcoins to use on a web shop so that the merchant can save 3%. (a bit of stretch, but you get the gist)

But, there is a better option--team up with an established advertiser: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3usaGfn7r0w

Take the time to view the 30s ad, then brainstorm to the nth degree. I think we'll all have the same idea.

I'll add more after somebody(s) replies to this post.

This is doable!

So, what does one do with all those coins accidentally made by the DIY (Dorito) chip maker? Obviously, they're given away to everybody who buys a bag of Doritos. (possibly a QR-code on the inside of the bag linked to a website, whereupon Frito Lays will be able to monitor the response)

What better product to team up with than a chip maker?

As if you need more: Crash the Super Bowl

Quote
The Crash the Super Bowl contest is an annual online commercial competition run by Frito-Lay. Consumers are invited to create their own Doritos ads and each year, at least one fan-made commercial is guaranteed to air during the Super Bowl. In recent years, Doritos has offered bonus prizes ranging from $400,000 to $1,000,000 for any Crash the Super Bowl ad that can score a top spot on the USA Today Super Bowl Ad Meter poll.[1] The Crash the Super Bowl contest is the largest online video contest in the world. In the 2011-2012 installment, Frito-Lay received more than 6,100 submissions and paid out more than $2,125,000 in prizes.[2]

And, to add the icy on the cake...What fictitious(?) character comes to mind that would make a good spokesperson? I'll give you a hint: His initials are SN.
