promote commercially?
bitcoin is not a slice of cheese or a toy car.. its a currency
Excuse me if I'm confusing you with someone else
Though this is hardly the case since it must have been you after all who had been proposing recently an idea of free competition between currencies for their users. But where there is competition, there should necessarily be aggressive marketing and intrusive promoting, right? Otherwise, how people would learn about a deisik coin and a franky coin? Oh, wait, you may not want to advertise your coin at all since it is so good and shiny that it doesn't even need users altogether!
no. you have it backwards.
i am 100% bitcoin. i hate altcoins. but i can atleast see the bigger picture.
advertising bitcoin to billions now will bottleneck it. people will scream blue murder at the headaches of trying to get it. and when they finally do, they realise the bottleneck is causing them issues when trying to use bitcoin.
EG fee war
EG transaction limit
EG lack of diverse places to buy bitcoin without life history needed
EG no real advertising of where bitcoin can be spent.
bitcoin is great. but so disorganised and not ready for mainstream, meaning that any mainstream advert of bitcoin as just a currency/asset will actually cause negative experiences and just end up becoming a dramatic event to play around with the fiat price..
we need to grow bitcoins infrastructure first to show the world bitcoin is a better CHOICE than fiat.
rather then advertise purely for some speculation that results in people getting more fiat rich
here is my mindset when i see someone trying to sell gold.
if gold is so great why are you wasting money trying to give gold away?
.. think about it
