There is actually a lot of advertising for bitcoin.  Wealthy people that invested in btc have bought ads,, I've seen them on different websites and videos.

The strongest advertising for BTC is through word of mouth and adoption.  This is a community driven project that really doesn't need the backing of billionaires.

That that's what drove btc's 2017 run. The more people hearing about the soaring btc value, the more people wanted to get it. And it's all over social media as well. It's probably just because of the current bear trend that we're not hearing and seeing that much about btc recently.

Bitcoin is known naturally and now Bitcoin has its own supporters. Bitcoin has opened opportunities for everyone to benefit here. Bitcoin doesn't need marketing to be famous because Bitcoin is the pioneer of cryptocurrency with blockchain technology behind it.

Using crypto has a ton of benefits that the majority of the population aren't aware of because of its technological nature. Makes it seems much more complicated than it is.

You get to have control over your funds, transactions are cheap, and no one can know how much money you have (financial privacy), etc. Most people would understand these things.

Why isn't this being promoted? Why is there no crypto lobby?

For example, pharmaceuticals are complicated in nature, but there is so much advertising making their benefits understandable and it works extremely well lol.

Decentralization won't happen if people aren't aware.


There is no team behind it, it is decentralized, so who will be the one to manage it. And what is the point of marketing Bitcoin, people know Bitcoin. But their perception about Bitcoin is sometimes negative, that's why they don't trust it. And the benefits of blockchain from bitcoin is very little today, there are more advanced blockchains out there, with better scalability and efficiency. And do some research before posting, transaction on Bitcoin is not cheap, and the amount of money you have can be viewed on the blockchain explorer, the privacy is on the identity of the owner, not on the amount of money or BTC he/she has.

everyone who entered in cryptocurrency and will enter in the future.
BITCOIN is the first currency to know and to use.
we dont need to have the marketing for BTC as it is the very known cryptocurrency worldwide.
You can go to any exchange or market and you will always see that BTC is on their list.

But this is decentralization! Who would you think would pay for marketing campaigns? It's us - community that promotes cryptocurrencies around you - talking about it with family or friends.

Of course, there are people who are much more involved - for example Andreas M. Antonopoulos

Bitcoin grew to where it is today without marketing at all, aside from what happened in the very early years. Even then, the marketing, if you can call it that, was done by enthusiasts of the technology, and not speculation.

Marketing right now would mean you attract even more gamblers betting their life savings on crypto. We should aim to educate people and bring in quality, not quantity in form of get rich quick rookies.

Shitcoins need marketing, because they can't differentiate themselves from the 1001 different coins and tokens that this industry counts. And even with marketing, will that make people here more interested in them? I doubt it.

Using Media for certain things or for any thing requires government permission and permission of the owner of that medium.Worlds Social media giants and most innovative social media invention "Facebook" has ban Crypto ads and if we use local media like Newspaper or anything would require government permission and most of them are against us which itself is publicity that is happening.What i think that could be the best way to advertise it is,people who have earn large in bitcoin can come forward and tell people that i have earn this much in this and that would attract many young one as younger generation is more money driven now rather than before and they really look people for inspiration and their methods to earn big and now people have that thrive to do some unconventional which was not in people before.This could definitely work.what you think guys?

I think it is because of decentralization itself. Many people are connected or adopted on it.

Pharmaceuticals is business, when you made some med, you need to promote it to people to know them that it exists, does this and has these side effects. Bitcoin isn't a business, it's currency and I doubt you'll ever see promotion of usd or euro and etc. Also you'll hear about it pretty easily, I can't agree you that there is a lack of information in people, no, they have heared it many times but it's another task who got interested in it. If you just heared and don't care what it is, no one will come and sit to explain it. Bitcoin has it's users and it's enough.

A lot of people are of the opinion that Bitcoin should not be aggressively marketed like a Ponzi scheme, because it will cause more harm than good. I am not one of those people, because I am of the opinion that most people are clueless about "financial freedom" and "privacy" and they need to be educated for them to get the bigger picture.

The advantages of using this technology, only comes to fruition when people realize how much control their government and Banks have over their wealth. People in Cyprus / Greece / Zimbabwe and Venezuela only realized how important these things were, when they were faced with hyper inflation / Large scale government corruption / Blocking of ATMs and closure of Banks in their countries.  Angry

Bitcoin is a new asset base on digital , that has a very big potential of turning around the life of users in a short while, the demand and supply of bitcoin is very much rapid growing but the market red as made it slow a bit and are very sure to bounce back anytime soon, some understand it but never believe in it and I don't think bitcoin need a big marketing strategy before it boom, just normal way we all heard of it be it one way or the other .

It is not controlled by the person who created it or any group of people,the bitcoin network was working just because of us so no one will be use their fund to advertise about the bitcoin because we need to do it on our own.
Wether it is not controlled by anyone or it is controlled the inventors can still market their product if they want like making advertisements and other way to promote BTC.

Bitcoin does not need to be marketed or promoted, it will grow by itself with the help of a strong community. Believe me, something valuable doesn't need to be exaggerated, because he's already big.

Bitcoin has got advertised from starting and now it is more famous that is why so many big names are using it and commenting what ever they want to get famous by endorsing Bitcoin in their comment. Other products which you are telling about getting famous after advertising are only worthy until they are getting advertised.

Bitcoin dont need any advertisement as it is getting freely advertised by lot of media and they are also getting benefited by endorsing bitcoin in any way whether negative or positive.

Take bcash (ABC) for example:

It relies on bitcoin.com (Roger Ver) and bitmain's (Jihan Wu) support. It has nothing else. Without these companies bcash (ABC) is no more.

Same goes for bcash(SV). Without Calvin&Wright, it won't exist.

The funny thing about these assholes is that they shot themselves in the foot by splitting, because where you had one party doing something relatively 'unique' (i.e. on-chain scaling with barely any limits), there are now two chains doing the exact same thing. From hash war we'll be moving over to a block size war. The first to upgrade to 1GB blocks wins.

The prices that came down badly made people literally hate them. This is reverse marketing, lol. I'm waiting for nChain and CoinGeek to split. Bitcoin Geek, does that sound right?  Cheesy

Assume that bitcoin is being advertised in on TV and it says that it's decentralized. Then what will come to the mind of people?
If bitcoin is decentralized and there is no owner, so who is paying for this advertisement?
I am sure no one will trust bitcoin. All the people will think that bitcoin is a scam.
Bitcoin should be known by people gradually in a way it is happening now.

Ever heard of something called crowdfunding? This could be the source of money for advertising. It's really not that hard for people to gather in a group and put some of their Bitcoin profits to work. Lack of advertising and central authority that you can scare into submission or put in jail is what makes Bitcoin so unique. We don't need advertising. The beauty of Bitcoin is that most people who really get to know it, begin to love it.

Bitcoins is not like ordinary crypto project where budget is allocated for marketing and promotion yet it sells by itself and every cryptocurrency has tied to bitcoins which is more or less marketing for Bitcoins.
