2﴿ PUBLIC OPINION: Lack of a PR team to improve bitcoin's public opinion

Public relation's is important to manage negative publicity and cast positive light to bitcoin in front of the eyes of the mainstream. Bitcoin has a lot of negative publicity: scammers, thieves, and other criminals putting a bad reputation to bitcoin, and the media spins this and demonizes bitcoin further.

We need a positive PR team who organizes festivals, campaigns, conferences, or any other types of events that can boost Bitcoin's public opinion, and explain to the public that bitcoin is good.

Some sort of charity organization or fundraisers could really boost bitcoin's PO and show the mainstream that bitcoin can be used for Good too!

We really need this because many people just disregard bitcoin by default, because they heard that bitcoin is used by criminals (yes a small fraction), but what about the honest people that use bitcoin, we need to find positive things in bitcoin and put them forward for the public to see the bitcoin is a wonderful thing after all.

I'm sorry, I find the point that you've added here quite ludicrous. Bitcoin is simply a decentralized currency, there shouldn't be a PR team trying to pump it. I think organisations like the Bitcoin Foundation are grossly out of their depth, indeed, they've screwed us over quite a lot like I said earlier in the thread mentioning how a board member stated they were at one point "essentially bankrupt" due to frivolous spending. The point of Bitcoin is not to hire a damn PR team. If Bitcoin becomes truly successful then we have succeeded, we do not need a PR team so we can get Bitcoin "mainstream" to increase the price for all these greedy speculators.
