Topic: Let's make ‘Buy Bitcoin’ Sign Appears Everywhere! - page 5. (Read 2489 times)
that's hilarious. This guy deserves a salute. If i was there i would have taken a selfie with him and posted about the whole story in here
Ok, this idea could work, but we need to agree to two things:
1. Never put a BTC address on the sign. This isn't about getting some bitcoin dust from a few thousand people, and
2. Agree to talk to our friends and family after they see the sign. Seeing the sign on the TV can still have a limited effect in getting people to act. And action is what we need. When someone says "hey did you see this "Buy Bitcoin" sign?" respond with "yeah...have you bought any yet?!"
Godspeed.

Not trying to be a dick, but wtf is a DOTA?
i am saying this for those who don't know
DotA2 is just a tiny little free-to-play game on this small platform called Steam, and it has so little number of players from all around the world. for example right now there are 12,079,340 unique players online.
what is the TI (The International) you ask?
oh, nothing. it is just this tiny little tournament that takes place each year like the Olympics but every year and among the top teams around the world who go to US to compete. with live cast while millions of people around the world watch through their game clients, Youtube, Twitch and other places.
the prize pool of this tournament is a very small amount of $24,682,864 at the moment and growing as people buy the battle pass which is optional by the way to watch the game.
I think that guy was only trying to pull a joke or prank on that scene. Maybe it is also an awesome way of promoting, but in my opinion there are so many advertisers out there promoting bitcoins and other alternate cryptocurrencies. If that guy wasn't doing it for fun maybe he's trying to promote it by his own method. Lets just say, users right now are increasing, so you think the news wont be spread basing on those feed backs of all the users? Of course they would share it to someone.
valid point, but consider this. with all the adoption, if folks were actually using btc, why hasnt the network slowed to a crawl?
people are investing into bitcoin, not actually transacting bitcoin. this is not the common public at this point; the usability of bitcoin is still too rough for widespread use. imagine if everyone had bitcoin, and how many times you see threads here screaming "got hacked!" or "got scammed!" . If the average user on here has a higher level of cyber security that the common person, this board would be bedlam with people getting robbed.
but back to the topic, viral stuff like this goes a long way. i prefer targeted ad campaigns, but the right piece of media can turn into a meme, disseminate, and become immortal. ask 4chan about pepe
but, if you want to promote bitcoin, i guess this isnt that bad of an idea. again, the Foundation, for its own sake, really needs to prioritize public bitcoin education. but if they dont (they wont, and honestly not mad because we need to be better before we go primetime), things like sign bro will be what makes btc take off.
but why is the price 4k though??
Not a bad idea but I'm not sure if we really need this promotion and who will pay for that?
It is all voluntary. The camera captures it and play it on TV. It shows others how "hot" Bitcoin is and establish good promotion.

Not trying to be a dick, but wtf is a DOTA?
I kid, but joke to illustrate my point. We need bitcoin to be advertised in mainstream venues, to actually increase public awareness. A DOTA tournament, and the folks that would watch a DOTA tournament, pretty much beyond the shadow of a doubt already know what bitcoin is. I mean, a dude held up a bitcoin sign.
We need bitcoin signs a Beyonce concerts. And NBA/NFL games. At the Grammys and Emmys. And not some hastily made school project board job; we need the Foundation to actually sponsor said advertisement, like the hilarious but sad Bitcoin Bowl. It could have worked out great, its just they didnt really try to actually market. It seems they thought people were going to be so amazed at the virtues of bitcoin they would instantly adopt, I guess.. it didnt turn out too pretty, the merchants that pledged to accept btc didnt get customers. also a flawed campaign, because duh someone that would spend bitcoin obviously knows about it.
Le sigh.

We better spred the word "bitcoin" out with our successful achievements. The nature of bitcoin tends to this fact.

Cool way to promote bitcoin but I think some people will get confused first when they see the sign because they dont know what it means. It can still work because people will get curious when they see the sign and maybe they will ask about bitcoin or do research. Its also good that they did it in the dots intl tournament bec the people there should be using bitcoin more.
Lets continue to promote bitcoin so that many others will start using it and bitcoin will grow in many other places.

"Buy Bitcoin" sign appearred again today.
Buy Bitcoin’ Sign Appears During DOTA International Tournament
https://cointelegraph.com/news/buy-bitcoin-sign-appears-during-dota-international-tournament
"Bitcoin made an unplanned appearance at the most recent DOTA (Defense of the Ancients) International Tournament, as an audience member held up a ‘Buy Bitcoin’ sign during announcements of the televised event.
Bitcoin has been frequently popping up in unlikely locations. The current stunt, intended to increase awareness of Bitcoin, is not the first of its kind, after an audience member at Janet Yellen’s congressional briefing did the same.
Both events indicate a growing awareness of Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies generally. The awareness may be part of the reason for the substantial price increases over recent months, with Bitcoin cresting $3700 today.
"
I expect more signs will pop up in sport events and many other places. It is a way to promote Bitcoin as well as other cryptocurrencies.
