I've just thought about this for a moment but, if we want bitcoin to get more popularity, attention or acceptance would it be nice to make some advertisement about it on T.V.? I don't if know if in other countries they advertise bitcoin but in my country, I haven't seen one. How do you think advertising bitcoin will affect the people? Any thoughts?
I guess the main problem is that bitcoin is open-source, community driven... Altough there are some bigger players on the market.
I think this would make it incredibly difficult to get a concensus on which add would be shown, as well as finding sponsors to foot the bill. TV ads aren't cheap
But yes, IF there would ever be a concensus about showing a TV ad, and we would find somebody footing the bill, i think it would give BTC and incredible boost. In my country, most people still think bitcoin is only used by criminals, they always give me a strange look when i tell them i have some btc to.
I agree. Also, I don't think many T.V. networks would go for it, since there is always a stigma about bitcoin being a negative kind of investment. Although TV marketing has been a very good type of marketing ever since its onset, marketers would have doubts because if they do try to market it via TV, some people might think of them as openly convincing people to somehow get scammed due to the bad light associated with bitcoin and the cryptocurrency market nowadays.
