* Starting Point = Bitcoin and the community has earned a horrible mainstream reputation with an endless flow of scandals, alleged hacks, and other major thefts.
I agree that when bitcoin was first launched up to its next following years, it was shrouded by a lot of false assumptions from the general community and everyone believed that bitcoin is nothing but a scam but I don’t think that still applies until now.
If they still genuinely believe that bitcoin is a scam, are they living under a rock or what?
Here is a quick example of something very positive which can be done with smart contracts and altcoins - and possibly (?) using only BTC:
Bitcoin For "The Masses" Super Bowl 2025 ads!
* Super Bowl ads are relatively expensive, and can be worth the money by creating a Huge Positive Buzz.
* The ad(s) can educate people about the original goals of BTC idealists and how great the future can be!
* The smart contracts used would specify funding targets, and other vital details.
* The first 100 (or 500 - for example) donations all earn the right to be (optionally) participating in a trustee group (DAO = cannot be done with BTC / possibly vote in the forum?)
* The Trustee group and/or exact details in the smart contracts, specify a clear path to securely releasing/converting the funds and buying the ads.
Sure, why not? Many crypto exchanges already do this and sponsor a lot of sporting teams so an advertisement of bitcoin wouldn’t be too out of place.
