I've just thought about this for a moment but, if we want bitcoin to get more popularity, attention or acceptance would it be nice to make some advertisement about it on T.V.? I don't know if in other countries they advertise bitcoin but in my country, I haven't seen one. How do you think advertising bitcoin will affect the people? Any thoughts?

Bitcoin has been mentioned by every TV channel many times already but the amount of time devoted to it is negligibly small compared to other news that's why most people forget about it the next minute. There are videos on Youtube advertising Bitcoin and everyone can watch them but even the most popular video about Bitcoin has less than 8 million views because most people just don't care, they think they don't have time for exploring such things.
Like what I said before you don't advertise payment methods especially currencies, no fiat currency has ever done that why Bitcoin? The only thing that television will contribute to us is the media attention, having a good news like a country accepting Bitcoin or a sudden price growth of it will give consumers the attention we need for them. And let us hope that attention will equal to an increase in demand.

Advertising is a big deal for Bitcoin it will let potential user to know of the Bitcoin existence and the pros and cons of using Bitcoin, but the main problem is who will be responsible in advertising Bitcoin in TV because it will cost a lot. i prefer satoshi but he's MIA for a long time. If someone will do this beside satoshi then mass adoption will surely happen.
I think TV can help the development of bitcoin become more widespread. Internet is one of the best advertising, but TV has a number of outreach better, some people who are not familiar with the Internet can certainly recognize bitcoin via TV. When it has got a bit of information from TV then they will search for wider information on internet. This can make people more interested in using bitcoin. For me TV is an important part for the spread of bitcoin information, which pays the cost of advertising is certainly a person who wants to play a big role for bitcoin. They can withdraw funds from participating sponsors of the project.

Absolutely right dude, promoting something on TV will more better because almost every people support to see television also television was spreading into almost whole of society with various of economic class. So television will help bitcoin to known by many people from low till high economic condition, after know what bitcoin is  and some benefits by using bitcoin peoples will more addict with bitcoin. That's all possible become one of factors to support develop bitcoin in the near future.

That will be a good advertisement of bitcoin but in that case who will support that? I think it is only applicable if you have advertising a wallet or a platform about of bitcoin but advertising bitcoin itself is not a good choice and that is just a waste of money because you are the only one who will pay for advertisement and you will not get a benefit.

This is fine, because many people will know btc and promote the btc reception of the government, but it is worth paying attention to who will pay for the ads on TV. On the other hand, for btc bad thinkers, putting btc on the TV is almost impossible.

Bitcoin is already on tv and free of charge, its called the news and it happens at every single pump. No one needs to pay for anything.
No i didn't see that bitcoin was already on television before. If it does many people know about bitcoin, bitcoin wasn't advertise before ever since because no one would want to put bitcoin on TV and i don't know why. Making bitcoins famous is not making the government bitcoin into a legal currency because the government still choose there own real money. But we still hope that bitcoin will be accept by other governments.
i think socal media is the main way of increasing the popularity of bitcoin. although it is also a good idea to introduce bitcoin on TV but not possible on Official TV in such area where bitcoin is still not consider as legal currency.

bitcoin for me don't need to advertise because bitcoin for now is already a popular digital currency even other alt-coin the ICO projects make there own move to promote there ICO projects.

I also agree that bitcoin is already popular in these time due to it's market value that's so high. There's no need to advertise bitcoin, it is depend then on private individual who own huge amount of bitcoin to advertise for there own bitcoin business.

Why not advertise on TV? Yes Bitcoin is already popular but we can't deny the fact that there are still lots of people who doesn't know about it. Through advertisement, this can reach those people and it will become more popular which can lead to increase demand and then increase on its price in the market.

Indeed this could have happened anywhere. because the bitcoin is a digital currency which everyone use it easily in the absence of a prohibition does not mean, but indeed to be able to get a lot of profit in it then we should be willing to work hard and one of them is doing promotions in it. Because the system is still using bitcoin economy, where more and more demand but supply does not match demand, then automatically that there is a higher

Advertising on tv is easy but you need a slot that will reach a large audience probably a slot during peak time of broadcasting , say during the most watched programme to give bitcoin the perfect stage

Good idea but who would pay for it?

It would have to be a crowd funded project, if advertised properly it could change the view of the public from 'hacker and complex internet currency' to 'better than the banks and convinient currency'.

What would you advertise. Just bitcoin is cool would be quite useless from my point of view. The advertisement woul have to include 3 main things.

1. Download your wallet (must be a very convinient one with extreme nice GUI), maby one which forces user to link his address to a name (f.e. you can send me to User365, instead of my BTC address)
2. An exchange which works very convinient (no complicated verification, and verification must be fast), could be integrated in the wallet
3. Where can I spend it (Map with shops and people who accept bitcoin), should be integrated in the wallet

How I imagine the effect ?

Some guy sitting in front of his TV, sees the advertisement, was always kinda interested in BTC, never got started with it. He downloads the new wallet app, with the integrated exchange he gets verified within minutes, buys some bitcoin. He finds out his local Pizza service accepts BTC via map, and he orders his pizza with bitcoin.

Think about it. Will the commercial of the bitcoin will have a effect to change the perspective of the audience. I know it is a good idea but advertising in T.V commercial is very expensive.

If thing plan will be true then it will be a huge help for bitcoin because it will make a huge hype around the world or in a particular country that makes advertisement about bitcoin in their channel on Television. Most of the people now are watching t.v instead of using internet so I think this is a great move for us to be noticed by all people around the globe.

This is a good thing if we advsrtise it thru television since it is on public and possible to see by many even internationally. But then there were pros cons with this move which may affect bitcoin totally, those who really do not want bitcoin they will turn to bushers and bush bitcoin publicly which is not good on the image of it. And also who will make the movement of advertising bitcoin? It is so expensive to advertise on television it takes thousands just for few seconds. Also the government will make this thing first if they will approve if bitcoin will appear on tv or not.

The exchanges who are directly involved in the bitcoin and alt coin echo system could run advertisement promoting their business,it is a possibility and whether they are willing to do that and will it be possible to run a advertisement campaign when the law does not recognize crypto currency is another issue.

Of course that would be impossible? Who will pay advertising fees on tv. Developers? Of course that's impossible. There is no boss in bitcoin so nobody will want to pay for advertising costs. I think the spread of bitcoin is scattered automatically. Not really need advertising on tv



You have to understand bitcoin in different view, if you own the business completely depend on the bitcoin platform and need to advertise in the television. The concern project hold will pay for it. Moreover I don't think it is possible to advertise in the TV apart from the Japanese tele channels. If it is been legal other countries you can do that.
There is no illegal in advertising bitcoin because the advertisement is all about educational purposes and it just aired in the television because they want to make people's aware of this kind of opportunity and i think that this is a good option to have this kind of advertisement so we can educate people and also attract possible future investors.

Advertisement for BTC itself is highly unlikely, because no one owns it and therefore no one is willing to place an ad about it as even the price isn't likely to rise since people already have an idea about BTC,
However for bitcoin startups like Coinbase, Bitpay, Circle and the rest, the possibility of such is very high since these are business that would benefit from promotion and that would indirectly promote bitcoins.

I think it's a good idea to advertise bitcoin in the television if people really want to make digital currency to be more famous. And it's a good way to make other people interested to use bitcoin by the use of media. They will start curiosity about bitcoin they will actually try bitcoin, if it is actually legit.
You're right.Having advertised it on tv will really help those people who had heard it but did not really understand what's it all about.IMO i believe that using any media like television will create a big impact on the side of bitcoin.Who knows if all those viewers will get interested in it?It's a good start for bitcoin to be well-known to everybody and maybe 5-10 years from now bitcoin will become a world currency.
