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.

It can become succesful without it too, I`m not saying that these are critical requirements.

However why not speedup the process? Why wait 30 years to become mainstream when we can do it in 5 years?

We know that advertising and marketing works, why not use this tool to speedup bitcoin's progress?

In all fairness, anything more than that is a joke. If you just want Bitcoin to become mainstream and then lose the ideals behind it, then go ahead. But who is going to pay for it? Again, it'd be something like the Bitcoin Foundation, and a lot of people in the Bitcoin community do not agree with them.
