Adverting can benefit bitcoin more. Not all of people know about bitcoin and for now I don't know if its an advantage or disadvantage. In business, if you pioneer a product or service, most of the time the pioneers is the most successful of its competitors. Just like a product, advertisement is the way for your product to be introduced on the market. I am not sure if bitcoin is being advertised. In our country, it is chronic on facebook but most of the people just ignore it due do lack of information. If advertised with the right information, bitcoin will become famous and everyone will know about it.
