Pretty nice and creative idea , I like it ;D however they had to write* Bitcoin.org or Bitcointalk.org because Bitcoin.com isn't really anything professional , they just have the awesome domain name , nothing else .
Does anyone know how much those billboards costs approximatly ? (monthly , yearly or whatever)

i guess Roger Ver would know this. you can ask him on the other forum.

Depends on the location.  I looked into it a while back and the ones you can see from the freeway near my house are around $75,000 per month.  There is a billboard off the beaten track out here a ways away from basically anyone that would see it, and it is only a few hundred per month...  Might be good to rent for the publicity of it, but not so much the advertising aspect.  Shit, might not even cost that much to BUY it and have it be a permanent Bitcoin advertisement if people were interested...

Agree with the bolded part, shame they messed that up. Pretty cool advertisement otherwise though, where is it, what State?

haha that is up already? it is a beautiful design and would catch peoples attention greatly.  The only problem we have is getting people to understand bitcoin is not a scam.

Naw I doubt it's up already. The billboard looks pretty fake but it's a good idea for sure.

it is the concept for the next billboard.


this one is/was real for example

good one. much better to get the message out to noobs than honey badger. (most noobs have no idea what honey badger is)

First one in the OP is bad photoshop, but it's a good idea. Maybe some foundation start to collect btc for this purpose, isn't that good advertisement?

That one is still a Bitcoin billboard, but it changed a few years ago to this:

Read this thread (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=7961.0) for the full discussion.

I know a Indian reserve nearby that make all their money off a few signs like this on the outskirts of their land. I am sure they make money other areas but these signs bring in some good coin in the right locations. A pretty cunning salesman owns 85% of the ones around me and I think he is top 10 moneywise in Canada,not sure. If he is into the sign business it has to be good money.

yes it is, like i wrote already  ::). it is a idea at the moment.

Could do with some of these in the UK. Sat on London's Inner Ring Road.

hm you are really competent. U need to upgrade ur design skills tho just because op design is not photoshop, its illustrator but w/e.

Who really goes to a website they have never heard of due to a random billboard?
Bitcoin just needs more advertising through videos on popular channels, it will be much more effective than billboards of funny guru guys holding shiny coins on a random interstate in the middle of titswhere  :D

Ok so a simply html site with an embeded video is better than a site which has buy bitcoins function,a forum where newbies can ask, and a news section where everyone can read about cryptocurrency. Weird.
Im not sayin its perfect at all but if you take a closer look you can see that the site is still under construction  and its get better day by day.

This is the coolest billboard so far.

That is prime example of bad style billboard imo. I like the invention and willingness to promote bitcoin by owner of that billboard, but seriously any scenes with religious connotations are really bad and not needed. Bitcoin is not some sect or shady religious movement, it is technical revolution.

That's going to confuse mindless motorists. They'll pull off and start asking people where Bitcoin is.

I am sure they can do something more professional that that? Some nice calm tropical background and a beautiful lady with a wide smile.  ;)

The message is cool, but the graphics is poor... give it a bit more color and it will work 100% ... A little moon above the arrow will also bring a little smile to our faces.

How much will this cost... certainly not $ 75 000 per month.  ???

Who are the persons investing the money to produce those billboards?

Probably people with lots of bitcoins piled up and want to raise awareness

the first one that ever existed was payed by Roger Ver.

Lol, I don't like this design, too cult-ish, would scare people away. We need something more simple, with a sense of humor, or just serious at all, because people may not get the joke. We need to inform people. Some rich guy should pay for OP's billboard in a highway.

Biggest problem with billboards is that the marketing effect will probably be minimal. Just hanging one with bitcoin slapped to it will not do. A business behind it may actually pay for the costs of putting it up there.

WOW OgNasty, where do u live!!??!!

Cost per month certainly depends on where you live and more importantly the location of the billboard.

My background is in Marketing so im pretty familiar with this topic....In Las Vegas you could rent a prime location billboard for a lot less than 75k a month.
Usually if you sign a long term deal, the rates will drop.

It certainly would be cool to have a vibrant, clear, positive, professional looking Bitcoin billboard on Las Vegas Blvd (one of the heaviest foot/car traffic streets in the world).

it would be nice to see such billboards in the city, im pretty sure the popularity of bitcoins would grow at a really fast pace then

I agree with you here on this one.  If this is in the US then I don't think this would settle well, especially for people around where I live, because I live in the bible belt and people who have already heard of bitcoin down here think that it is a message of the incoming "rapture" that the bible foretold.  We have to ease people into this kind of thing and make them see the light of bitcoin in a sensible manner... not by having some cultish symbolism promoting bitcoin.

To be honest, I think its kind of cool. i've never seen one before!

It's in the heart of Silicon Valley, on a busy 8-lane expressway, where it can be seen by a lot of techies on their morning commute.
About 100 feet away is a billboard for a strip club, which would distract the bible belt people. :-)

Haha that is not entirely true... while religious freaks down here love their bible, they also love boos, boobs, and college football.  I just think that we can give an overall better image of bitcoin rather than being "cultish" though, and that's exactly what I thought when I saw that billboard.
