Do you think,most of the toys are here of most of the brands, so why not bitcoin will produce BITCOIN'S TOYS. it will make a help for publicity of Bitcoins???
 

Yes it is a good idea, when bitcoins toys will produce than kids will play, than most of the people can understand that is a bitcoins toy and bitcoin is a online currency, toy will make an help, specially those countries's people who don't know about bitcoins too much.

I don't think the kids will understand what Bitcoin is if they get such a toy. I mean manufacturers could put the Bitcoin logo on cars, trucks etc. but how will the parents explain to their kids what Bitcoin is and what their kids can do with a digital currency like Bitcoin?

toys?its for kids right?i suggest it not with toys if we want make bitcoin more publicity and popular,maybe if we create collectible items related bitcoin,or souvenir,its better way to promote and make bitcoin more popular.

Maybe some kind of online monopoly using some kind of alt-coins. The game can reset the holding of each player, after the end of each round....

I think it would be an excellent idea, but also, other bitcoin-related products would be good to give away as gifts to newcomers. I saw someone advertising a bitcoin cookie cutter and have been trying to find it ever since but to no avail. Bitcoin toys and novelties are a great way to advertise Bitcoin!  :)

Bitcoin toys? In how far could that be useful for kids?
If you want them do something good make some chocolate coins sealed with golden aluminium foil having the Bitcoin logo on it.I would love that too. :D

do you think that most of the toys just like Doreman, Superman and Batman etc toys are here, kids playing with their toys and thus the parents also know about the toys name, instead of this bitcoins has a toy shape, than mostly people can know about it.

Yeah it will be a good advertisement for bitcoin, not only toys we can design more items related to bitcoin such as keychain, rings, chain dollars etc, so that unknown people come to know what is bitcoin.

I really like idea about Items , I respected you man. if Bitcoin will follow it and do advertisement in this way, so it is really helpful to Bitcoin, and it is also do in a cheap money no need to more money to do advertise of bitcoins.

Yes it is a good way to publicity of bitcoins, bitcoins toys make a awareness to the people, if it provide the others countries than it will make help to promote the bitcoins, bitcoin's toy it is a part of advertisement.   

I can't imagine that someone will play bitcoin as toys. I know it heard good idea but it is only for kids, adult person don't have any time to touch a toys. But i still respect you, you have a great idea although a little not precise.

I feel like you are missing the point here. As you said we have many brands of toys and huge corporations which specialize in toys: Mattel, Hasbro, Nintendo (yes, they are making toys too).
But bitcoin is not a brand nor a company. And what will be the idea behind 'bitcoin' toy?
We don't have any well known symbols beside BTC (which is rather unknown to most of people anyway) or mascots to base our toys on.

Mmm. have you ever seen Dollar's or Euro's toys?, personally not. I don't think that toys and bitcoin can be good for the value

I don't think there is a real market to sell tolls based on Bitcoin. T-shirts seems like a better niche to attack since a lot of people may buy it to show support, but toys? maybe only a couple of super Bitcoin fans will buy them for collectible's sake, but other than that I don't see a big opportunity in here, maybe in the future when its more mainstream.

I think it's something for the future, not quite now. We haven't gained enough mainstream adoption yet. I don't think a company is going to be willing to pump money into manufacturing toys that might not sell at the moment.

It'd be better to try & get schools educating about Bitcoin first.

Who do you think "bitcoin" is in this sentence? Bitcoin is not 1 company, we're all part of something decentralized.

Instead of toys, have you checked for "Bitcoin merchandise"? Coindesk (http://www.coindesk.com/5-cool-items-bitcoin-merchandise/) is the first link that pops up in Google, it sells several items like this:
http://media.coindesk.com/2013/12/bitcoin-t-shirt.jpg

For toys, I don't think kids are that interested in a Bitcoin-logo. It's like a dollar-sign on a toy car.

Yup its a good idea but why the people should buy bitcoin toys? Who buy it? Who need it?

nah this one, monopoly is the best match for bitcoin's toys, it's about how to grow your money, and bitcoin will match very well with this
imagine that the hotels replaced by bitcoin rig, and the country place in the game replaced with few popular bitcoin websites

It's a good idea though, so you can also introduce to people about bitcoin. And people will curious and find what is bitcoin and how it works.

Toys are not necessarily meant only for the kids. There are adults buys toys for themselves as well. And for the Bitcoin logo on vehicles, that is a good initiative. People on the road who saw the logo might search about the logo on Google if they are curious.

What are you saying, why Dollar and Euro need in toy shapes, dollar and euro these are not online currencies, and they don't need to publicity. they have already currency Note. have you ever seen currency Note need a publicity? 

Very interesting, it is indeed quite helpful to introduce the Bitcoin to lovers of toys. But I think it is still very effective, because the average toy fans are young children and small children less fit for it.

I like your answer, seriously Who buy it and who need it? the answer is only that people buy it and need it. just like you and me our kids will play the bitcoin's toys, may be whenever we see the bitcoin toys we will purchase it.

I think the toys are not effective, it is better made accessories such as key chains, bracelets, or rings. :D

Yeah, I do not think this type of toy bitcoin will attract kids, and I agree it was not effective. now smartphones have mastered, for all types of games available there and you can choose any game just by downloading free in PlayStore.

I think nothing would happen if a toy was printed with the Bitcoin logo, it would be considered as the letter "B". May be media can help with this.

I think nothing care about it if you dont have another ideas . :'(
Im not against im just saying this because its not marketable if they dont see others ideas new in this toy.
I just want to ask if you have the new i deas so that this toy is marketable.

make a rocket.

Don't know about toys.  Bitcoin needs to be written into the walking dead as a plot element or something.  Or in a big movie.

Yes its good for kids

I just really want to thank you for suggesting to search up bitcoin merchandise as I wouldn't have thought of that. That QR code for bitcoins I would probably make one of mine with, ofcourse, my wallet printed on a shirt and definitely wear it.

i dont like toys,even i'm in young age,i dont too much like toys when i was kid,but now i will hope that people not make toys,but make any sign of eyes to bring it to my nephew.

bitcoin better produce of merchandise rather than toys. as you make clothes and then using bitcoin logo, it will be very interesting. because the average user of bitcoin is adult not kids.

Hey that's actually a pretty cool idea, I totally forgot about those coin-shaped chocolates I had as a kid. This could definitely be a fun way to spread Bitcoin awareness and not just for kids either. Just did a quick search and of course people have already thought of doing this, nice  :)

Not toys really. Games would help. An online game or offline. Could be an application for android or IOS. That would help to advertise it but it will also need some funding. So who will pay for that. If I can get my money back doubled I could invest some for it.

Yea they've already thought of that as well, there are plenty of Bitcoin games on the Playstore  :) There was a guy here who developed a pretty cool Flappy-style Bitcoin game where you could actually earn very small amounts of Bitcoin.
Maybe they could create a Bitcoin superhero or something and have an animated series or comic book, not sure what kind of superpowers he would have though  :D

I don't think a toys would made a good position on the market, toys are available and have a good selling point simply because of the great demand from children (or adult figurine-lover) because the toys symbolize a great movie or something alike. Now, if you show a bitcoin toys to the market without anything (like a movie) to be symbolized, it'll be just like selling an elephant-shaped doll to the market and name him "Bob". Now, when Bob is placed beside Spongebob or Wolverine, we'll surely know which toys the children pick.

There are already a lot of bitcoin game apps on the market today.

If you want to make your kids earn money, I think the captcha jobs will pay better.

No need of toys

I like educational toys like this : http://www.coindesk.com/kickstarter-launched-for-piggy-bank-that-lets-kids-save-in-bitcoin/ ... Any Bitcoin related toys will have to stimulate and learn about money

matters, and should not just be toys with a Bitcoin logo. I would also want to see more online games making use of Bitcoin in-game payments. The problem with kids and money is the parental concent

that is necessary when the kids are underage. We have seen exchanges, closing accounts of children who were verified and found to be underage.  ::)

For every product there is a market. I think the gambling scene is over exhausted, so it would be good to see something new for a change.
Toys could be it.

Having toys that look like bitcoins would surely help in the publicity of bitcoins. Actually, that's a really great idea! I willing to bet in a few months, someone who has connection to some toy-making company would make a small supply of toys and see if it becomes a hit not only for bitcoin users but for other people as well.

the only kind of bitcoin toy  i like is ,  some kind of batsignal with BTC instead of the batsignal

maybe shirts , i am not  a fan of bitcoin , i just like him because of money  , but if i find something better i will even maybe forget about Bitcoin

I think bitcoin t-shirts,keyrings,belts etc and other accessories will be more helpful in popularizing bitcoin among masses.Kids usually pick up their own toys and they prefer things which they are already acquaint with like animals or cartoon characters.Even if parents force bitcoin toys on their kids,I dont think all kids will like it

Yeah shirts but that's all to it. Perhaps a lot of people here are wanting to buy things for their kids, but then again why not go to intertoys or lego.com.

Yes good idea rocket but i think better is that why not we make coins toys of bitcoin, artificial currency i really miss coins, because now slowing coins has been finished. so should start bitcoin's toy with Coins.   

I think the OP did not ask about kids who wanted to earn money, and kids do not deserve to make money themselves.

possibility OP wanted to make Bitcoin's TOYS then sell it.

maybe we should start will boardgames which will guide every kid about basic usage of bitcoin and sometimes old peoples also like to play with childrens for a little bit of entertainment

I don't think Bitcoin has gained enough mainstream attention yet to make efforts of producing Bitcoin toys worthwhile for big toy manufacturers. As kids nowadays are getting more and more interested in computer games rather than action figures and toy cars I think investing money in developing computer and mobile games and adding Bitcoin into the mix would yield far more profit. Anyways I think we need at least a couple more years before Bitcoin gains more traction in the global market.   

True there are a lot of applications out there now but non are really booming. It is all like faucet game with a lot of advertisement in it. I am saying a different kind of game here.

Have you seen flappy bird or candy crush? Those games boomed the android applications and got a lot of downloads. I am talking about a game that would open up the mind of people and see make them google bitcoin because of that game.

Bitcoin toys? It is unique and different idea, but i think it make help for bitcoin publicity. Because if bitcoin is less use in this time, So i am 100% certain the reason is that people have no awareness about bitcoin. If we want to promote bitcoin in all over the world than should use unique ideas, like bitcoin's toys, bitcoin's shirts and bitcoin's key-chain etc.

Toys were the attraction for kids, these days kids don't involve into the earning of bitcoin. Personally for the purpose of making bitcoin popular its good to add it to the accessories that teenagers use it commonly.

I understand that toys are attractive to kids and it can help them be attracted to BTC but I don't understand what type of toys there can be.. I mean what, a coin made out of cotton..? I can't think of toys that can be fun for kids. They need something that is cute and fluffy to buy it and to play with it all of the time, so maybe a really cute panda or bear or so that has a BTC logo on their shirt!

What kinds of toy are you thinking? like Barbie or Ken like toys with with bitcoins logo in it? I don't think they will appreciate it.
Maybe like board games perhaps. Monopoly, Millionaires games etc.. Because those games can teach them how to invest or
trade or buy properties and collecting rents. But this time they will trade using bitcoins currency. So as early as like 5 or 6 years
old, they will know bitcoins already besides the common fiat money.


 

Kids can not improve their brain by captcha. Captcha are suck and you can not earn much from the captcha job. It will be better if you spend some money to buy a toy for you kid because it is more effective and can make your kids smarter

yes that is really a good idea about i think there are so many other good ideas like that through which we can promote bitcoin. for example bitcoin T shirt, bitcoin shopping bags, bitcoin tea cups and many more. i think it is the duty of every person who are using bitcoin who are getting benefit from bitcoin to introduce bitcoin to other people so that they can also start using bitcoin and make bitcoin more stronger.

I don't think that we need to promote bitcoin since it is a decentralized coin that would benefit for everybody. However, it could help its users to be overwhelmed. But if we want to promote bitcoin, I think the best way is to share them our profit. Explain them what is its platform. People will inititate to used bitcoin not because its cute/nice but because if its purpose, use and advantage.

actually what specific for bitcoin toys because i'm slightly confused here and if the aiming to introduce bitcoin to kids using toys but the idea must be unique but i think kids wouldn't know more for bitcoin because kids only like the toys

But, we know that this cryptocurrency (Bitcoin) is anonymous, is not the same as superman, batman, etc.
Bitcoin is a digital currency and not shaped. It will be difficult to make a toy.
I think better to make games that generate bitcoin than make a toys.

Yes it is a good idea and eventually even kids will have idea about bitcoins. It is one good step for bitcoins but who will make this toys that accepts bitcoin as mode of payment. It needs capital and a lot of resources to be put into action. Maybe the author is planning to do such kind of toy factory that has bitcoin logos and accepts bitcoin as mode of payment. This business will rock the market but it needs somebody with capital to do it.

Bitcoin users are pseudonymous but does it mean that btc is so as well? I don't think so. What comes first in my mind is small round chocolate bars which look like physical bitcoins. And maybe, as for toys, bitcoin can be personalized into some kind of a freaky scientist with letters and numbers on clothes and a small wallet in one hand plus antminer in another one.

Its definitely a good idea
Some bitcoin action figures should get the kids excited and probably make the banks the villains

Yeah, it can help the kids away from the craze of money and paper currency-some kids steal to buy games and toys. So that their orientation about buying toys and games will be Bitcoin which they might be too young to understand thereby protecting them.

Good observation my friend. Toys are for kids, and I don`t agree with people here who say this is a good idea, good idea for whom, for kids to have even more toys?
I can`t say that I like bitcoin toys cause I never saw one, but definitely bitcoin enables me to play different games that I like.

I guess, having a bitcoin toy is good idea, so that people will be aware that we have here, a bitcoin, just like having play money at school and at home, where kinds and students are using to. This may help also to other people to familiarize into bitcoin, but I guess it is hard to always guess on the fix price like what we have in our fiat currency, this Idea is good when we are going to have a fixed price of bitcoin,or the movement of bitcoin is not that super high and super low. But totally it’s a good idea then.

Do you have any specific idea how and what toys, I don't know if any physical toy is related or can be related to bitcoin. I don't think how can bitcoin be a toy or something similar. For virtual it can be like the coins that kids/gamers play and earn within the game and use them for gems or upgrade something in the game, in this way it can be used otherwise there is no other option.

I don't think it is going to work, I doubt every parent knows bitcoin and then it will be a bit odd to produce a currency into a toys, I think bitcoin market supposed to be aiming teenager and adult, so i thin kproducing bitcoin games will attracted more kids to know bitcoin rather than bitcoin toys

I don't know what kind of toys you have in mind but seems like strange idea. Some parents wouldn't like their children to "play with money" and I can't imagine how would you turn cryptocurrency into toy. For children and teenager maybe some books and magazines that would properly introduce them with Bitcoin would be better idea.

i wonder how it looks the toys and i think we should make a vote to choose the type of the toys because i don't think that all bitcoin user have one option to choose. i think it could make bitcoin more famous because we have something like a brands, i think it is like KFC which have a picture of colonel sanders as the image.

Agreed, actually I'm looking for some souvenirs related to bitcoin such as t-shirt, key chain, coin of bitcoin just like we often see it in the news. Even though there is no any nearest merchant/person who sell it, maybe some informations about how to purchase it from overseas.

Imo it's a really dumb idea, kids like toys based on something already popular like superheroes, cartoons, etc., or something very unique and original like Lego. All other things just fail most of the time, because children compare them with other toys. And it's really naive to think that you can promote something by making it a toy and that kids will get imprinted by this toy for the rest of their life. Better focus on something more productive like thinking how to distribute Bitcoin to a larger amount of people to increase its adoption.

Great idea for Bitcoin publicity. How about a Bitcoin game like Monopoly that instead of making the game around real world economy, this game will be about the virtual economy of the web and players will use Bitcoin to process their transactions.

It will make kids familiar to bitcoin, but what about teenagers and adults.If Tshirts are produced  with bitcoin logos, it would create a curiosity among youth to know what bitcoin is. If travel kits are produced with bitcoin logos, it would help bitcoin to get popular.If some games like trade are created in which fiat money is replaced by bitcoins, then it would make kids to get familiar with bitcoins.

Well I get your idea but if you want to promote Bitcoin why will you use toys ? toys is only for kids they have no knowledge about the crypto world ! why not target those whole belong to the age 20 years old above , like selling bags , key chain , mugs , ballpen and any souvenir than can be used by adults in that way you can promote  bitcoin to the people who are capable of understanding cryptocurrency

Maybe if there were a bitcoin mascot. You can give a kid to play with a plush bitcoin with arms and legs but he'll have no clue what the hell is that, maybe he will recognize the symbol after some years but probably won't to that much since if you were to give that kid that toy now, until he grows up, bitcoin will probably become a mainstream thing and would have no impact that much, tho bitcoin should get a mascot.

LOL what would a bitcoin mascot look like? A coin with limbs? A letter B, the logo of bitcoin, again with limbs? I don't think it would sell to anyone but enthusiasts. Do you guys think small kids would enjoy looking at bitcoin? This isn't something for the small kids. Bitcoins are really for adults who understand it and whoever understand it.

What do you mean by bitcoin toys and how would it appear on people I mean what will be the overall appearance of those toys ? And speaking of toys i think it will be a kiddy stuff, our aim is we should introduce it to adults not on kids ;D and even a certain person(adult) is a toy enthusiast he will never understand why is it called a bitcoin toy if he doesn't have had an idea what is bitcoin . Maybe a t-shirt would be much better with a slogan type message printed on it .

how do parents explain bitcoin to their kids? I have ever read a thread here where a father guide his son to play a bitcoin game and he got bitcoin. and toys is not loved by kids only, many teenagers love toys too. so probably it will help, but I am not sure it will contribute highly or not

I guess so, and makes bitcoin more familiar to people, just like what we have with the play money that students and kids used to schools and even playing at home. It makes bitcoin be popular too. but children should be told that they should give the earned bitcoin to parents so as to avoid misuse.

It's a new idea never thought of could it really be good that's a difficult answer cause we are talking toys for kids that are not even 0.0001% of the user base. Maybe you could say the design would be nice, something new maybe. I feel the focus should not be on kids toys. Maybe adult entertainment toys would be a better idea. High in demand, has a large audience and we would find free publicity also. I don't think any other type of toys would really make any sense. But who is making this by the way?

If we want to publicity of bitcoin, than definitely we should use different ways. Because it is not talk about toys, matter is that we want awareness of the people who don't know about bitcoin, So lets start to the kids. That's why i don't think that it is bad idea, it is good and also unique.
