Bitcoin is already in online news a lot of times.

BTC can be promoted if at local level people start spreading the word about it, its advantages and its usefulness.

Markets should start accepting BTC too.

Discount Discounts Discounts for people who pay with BTC

I have explained it fully here --> https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=747324.new#new

If I visit a shop or I go online, and I see the item, I were looking for was on 20% discount, if you paid with BTC - I would most certainly, consider buying some BTC and paying with that.

These discounts could be funded at first, with the lower fees, companies are paying. {Once adoption increase, discounts could be reduced or removed}

This is the only way to increase adoption amongst consumers, using traditional payment methods.

Since we're brainstormin' to the nth degree, it's not outside the realm of possibilities to incorporate your idea, along with the best of the others presented in this thread, into the O.B.A.M. Mockumentary.

À la Mission: Impossible, O:B:A:M (change title again) episodes start out with all four getting their next assignment(s) from Satoshi.

Each time they make some mundane purchase, they ask the clerk if they accept bitcoins.

While walking to some final destination where they're about to start the task of converting somebody, they always pass some place of business that already has a sign in the window depicting "Bitcoins Accepted Here" but they pay it no mind, but always stopping in front of it for some weird-ass reason, e.g.



Hey, guys! Look at this.





First time I've even seen a penny in a cement sidewalk before.

^^^Anybody else think O.B.A.M. (think Man from U.N.C.L.E.) is a good idea? If so, I'll move this over to project development. I've been toying with this idea for a couple days now, figuring this thread is as good a place as any to see if there's interest. The naming of the show just came to me when I opened up the reply section and readying to pen my first post in this thread.

A fully self-funded mockumentary entitled OBAM (Operation Bitcoin Awareness Movement).

Three dudes (white, A-A, and a Hindu) and a blonde dudette travel the countryside (eventually world) try to convince diverse prospects to accept bitcoins (and/or other cryptocurrency) for their various products and services.

Along the way they hold court with prostitutes, politicians, clergy, gang members, boys and girl scouts, old folks in homes, cops to see if they would accept bribes via bitcoins, Amish, newborn fresh from the womb,... You get the picture.

Some of the content can be scripted, some not. Viewers can send in suggestions, or may have a relative/friend that they desire to convert, needing the team to help in this effort.

The more skill sets the four have, the better the show. Think Bubbles playing Rush on guitar.

I did say self-funded, thus introducing OBAM Coin. And, the four star's character's names start with one of the letters, viz. Oliver, Betty, Ahman and Mondo.

God damn Bruno!  912 posts since June 28 of this year! How do you find the time? Do you post while you're shitting and eating?

On Topic: Yes, I think that's a very good idea. Especially Rush on guitar.

I honestly do post during my longggggggg shit sessions.

meaby the people that should addopt bitcoin in this phase are the ones that know something about pc or are kind of geeks.
I liked the idea of "celebrities". How about, those that are really famouse on youtube that has millions of suscriptors. They could help a lot if they make a mention in one of their videos.
imagine piediepie with his 29 million suscribers.... ,)

That's a good idea, they all like to wear tshirts sent into them from fans.

First of all, who is going to pay for this kind of thing? There is no CEO of bitcoin, there is no entity that backs bitcoin or that is responsible for it's performance. As a result no one is going to want to pay for this because their benefits would not be proportionate to what they spend.

What really needs to happen is a greater amount of bitcoin related trade, not trade on exchanges, but trade as in economical trade. People need to trade their bitcoin for goods and services from merchants or people you buy things from. The more that bitcoin is used, the more people that will be exposed to it and exposed to it's benefits.

If you don’t believe, why are you here?
I googled Wake Up Accept Bitcoin and the sign I made and displayed was on twitter (not my account)!

https://twitter.com/blockchain/status/476465165157007360  While this is not the mass public, it's Fuckin' awesome to me!

I think that large charity works for the faint hearted. But how about reality. Stage a commercial where every Visa holder in the WORLD wakes up with a $1000 erroneous charge on the card and begins asking for a refund. Busy phonelines, clogged up bandwidth, Illustrate how management would be begging to the board about integrity of the ecosystem, and the only ended..."it's not our problem. It doesn't say in God we Trust on our credit cards, didn't you read the terms and conditions? I didn't think so."

for one thing getting them too do that is not very easy, I wanted to sponsor some on youtube, some of you heard him, he is called fousey tube and he never got back to me,  they really do these videos for themselves to make money.  They dont care for anything if they already have it.

1 example out of ... thousands of youtubers that are popular.
So now we know we dont need to reach fousey tube.
we... can start with the other 999 popular ones Smiley

it needs to be trendy and trends are not east to create
it will happens without intention for sure
acceptation of importants shops is really imporntant in this way
meetups around the country, merchandising, stickers, etc...
to be mainstream is our next goal

Meetups are important. tons of them! (been mainstream is the goal of everybody here. we all benefit )

In Argentina we are trying to start a new trend with meetups around the country, merchandising, stickers, etc...


it's slow, but our bitcoin community is growing, now we have 2 Subways, a few taxi drivers and a new movement for "bitcointips" for restaurants

retailers need to start offering bitcoin-only transactions on some of their sales.. newegg's been doing that. if you want a PS4 for $320 ($80 below MSRP), then you're going to need bitcoins.

those retailers also should pay all of their employee bonuses in bitcoin as well.

The key is to get more national vendors (e.g., Starbucks, Wendy's, General Dollar) with physical locations to understand how Bitcoin can save them $ by reducing fees and eliminating charge backs.  They could offer their customers a small discount to use Bitcoin and/or integrate it with their apps
