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
https://www.cryptocoinsnews.com/bitcoin-st-petersburg-bowl-first-college-football-game-sponsored-cryptocurrency/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
If it weren't for the first Galker and Slashdot articles I never would have heard of Bitcoin. Isn't that advertising?
