If bitcoin starts sponsoring a big soccer team in Europe,that would greatly increase it's exposure.

That the best idea i heard today.

However I don't think the bitcoin foundation has that kind of budget. They have to pay at least 20M+ to sponsor a club like Barca or AC Milan

bitpay already tried that with american football last year... it didnt really gain much fame... so they dropped it this year

the problem is not about advertising.. its about bitcoin usage once people start thinking about bitcoin..
afterall there is no point wasting money on advertising if the viewers cannot buy beer or toilet roll with it from their local 7eleven.

and thats why europe doesnt bother advertising Euro's in america.. or why america doesnt advertise Dollars in britain...
so will all you "we need to advertise" fanboys. look passed the 15 minutes of fame and orgasms you will have from seeing the advert. and think about the non-bitcoin people who will see the advert for the first time. and what uses they will see of benefit..

remember 99% of people are not investors, and they wont spend money unless its on something useful.. so concentrate on bitcoins usefulness to common people before thinking of advertising bitcoin

I found out about bitcoin from advertisement. I knew absolutely nothing about bitcoin at that point,and i started researching it and found out how to get involved and i am still learning about bitcoin day by day. The less people know about bitcoin,the less usefull bitcoin will be,it's kind of a catch 22. With exposure,people will get curious about it and gain followings.... Advertisement is not THE solution,but it is part of the solution in order for bitcoin to become what we all want it to be. Just like you say we are "advertisement" fanboys,I can say you are a "usefulness" fanboy... but I won't. What's funny is for that superbowl game bitcoin was accepted for ticket and concession sales at the game as part of the sponsorship, and the sponsorship itself was also paid for using bitcoin. So not only did they do advertisement,they also showed the usefulness of what could be done with bitcoin. And also besides north america,i am pretty sure that nobody else cares about that "bowl" You can't compare European soccer to that.

wow a Bitcoin advertisement in real life? Who sponsored it?
