Don't miss your chance to get into the Centra ICO!

People are saying Celeb advertisements don't matter.

Lets say the ICO you buy raise 30M and it only cost them 10M.  They are pocketing YOUR money.  At least you know what Centra is doing they are partnering up with celeb to help promote and market their product to help it succeed.

Remember crypto debit cards provide revenue sharing and the more the mass market adopts it the more revenue you get by holding token and card.  And you need marketing and advertisement to get mass adoption.  Just think for a wedding or Xmas gift exchange you gift a debit card with $20 worth of crytpo on it.  People may not know crypto itself but you bet yourself that people would be excited to get the debit card and spend it.  And if celebs are using and promoting it, your grandma that knows nothing about crypto will want one as a gift.

For debit crytpo card marketing is most important thing.

Imagine if someone got Oprea to market their card.  Every woman would want a card as a gift.  Marketing is not for the crypto person, its to get non-crytpo people to get excited and want one as a gift.  crypto debit card is like a gift card and the gift card market is bigger than anything sold in the world.  Wait till the teenagers want one from seeing celebs have it.

Centra ICO is in 1hr or less btw.

There are a lot of scam sites right now, so double check all your links and make sure you go to the right place for ICO.  If in doubt, go to centra Telegram chat.

I can't even imagine how much $$$$$ Mayweather/TMT charges for such kind of ads.
But I've just read the ANN and I may go for early adoption with 1.5-2ETH.

Is it possible to withdraw from an exchange like coinbase to this ICO?

No, you must use a wallet like myetherwallet, parity, exodus, etc.  Exchanges don't work for any ICO.

how many money floyd get for this ad? anyone known?

Million dollars, The developers of centra is too greedy to advertise their project to raise the money as much as they can, this time they already raised 80k ethereum and that was worth for double digit of million dollars, The investor's money just wasted to something useless like that. sadly.

Ok thanks buddy... So can we send the ETH to the ICO address right away or have to wait till it goes live?

Wait till it goes live in 35 minutes or your eth will get rejected.

Once again thanks bud

How much time will it take for confirmation?

I still think this doesn't make any sense, why is the Centra team throwing money at Floyd because I know he is a money man. Just look at Stox team that started this craze move, look at the current price. The price is being pumped now because of the incoming ICO

I think Floyd Mayweather is an advantage because he has lots of supporters and of course as most supporters do, they follow what their idol tell them most of the time (bit saying every time but this is just based in general). He is an asset to Centra and maybe of this ICO will be successful then one of the reason might be because they got Mayweather to advertise the ICO too.

does he really matter? no, but it is likely he will get a lot of followers (new buyers) interested in bitcoin and maybe this ICO

I remember when Floyd make a tweet about storj before his game against Connor  the value of that coin really pumped, now he's in another project and let
see how he can carry and make this project more popular, celebrity like him will make some difference when it came to an ico project, I will try to catch up
and hold some Centra.

Doesn't matter I even avoid to participate in ICOs that celebrities are involved in. It's just a marketing, I am sure he doesn't know much about the project he involved in.

Does Floyd Mayweather Matter? - the popularity of cryptocurrency is growing. The more promotions of this kind, the closer they are to entering mainstream. And then everything will be bigger.

In terms of exposure and awareness, yes he really matters because surely he can exposed that project in million views.

I just wonder how much they paid Mayweather for this. It's impossible Mayweather will do some hype just because he saw the project and will just advertised it on instant.

He really doesn't matter at all. He is just stage element. He is advertising what he is paid for. Don't let these kind of ads for your investments you will regret.

He slightly matters. He brings mainstream exposure and a high probability of mainstream adoption. At the very least, more people will buy into the ICO even if they don't understand the tech behind it because Mr. "Money".

Yes.
It is just good.

He makes more peoples aware.
He is doing marketing for crypto (not only its ICO).

I agree, he really matters at all because Mayweather attracts more investors in cryptocurrency. And also he is the bridge that people will become aware of and will invest in.

It is too late for Floyd Mayweather promotion. stox used it and it never work again. I don't like those kind of promotions.

i think floyd mayweather not invest , not team
but ico project this thread centra, only pay floyd mayweather can promote or only post in twitter account about centra project

Well that centra project hasn't even caught my attention yet to see what it's all about.
But just seeing that the invested money is being used in the wrong way makes me stay more away from it and even think about it.

Can you guys imagine how much money (in millions of course) were paid to write that tweet of mayweather's account ?
That's just ridiculous. As if this whole crypto community on bitcointalk isn't enough for the devs and they want even more money out of it.
Do anybody else other than me feel that this is gonna end so badly ?

I agree with you that this type of marketing could lead us down a bad road. Is it marketing hype for a coin that has little to no substance? Investors won't do their due diligence because a sports celebrity, who likely knows nothing about either crypto and/or fintech, promoted it.

However, I don't agree with you about promoting only on bitcointalk. Many crypto investors don't know this forum exists or they don't use it. I think developers are right to try to reach audiences beyond this website. It might make this website  grow too.

We should remember Centra is good project. This project had raised enough money to hire floyd. That is a good point

Even without the ad for Centra, it is a good project. And with the paid advertisement coming from Floyd Mayweather it's a good ad for centra to gain more investors. But without a doubt that Floyd does have some crypto followers and he can attract some investors for the project so he does really matter in a little way. And for us who are looking the real project, ads doesn't really matter.

he already made marketing for stox and huubi network and now centra.i think  most of his fans from USA and people from usa cant participate to icos.why projects using him for marketing i dont understand.

I dont give a shit about floyds advertising ICOs. I imagine many people feel the same.

That does seem to be logically correct that they would have raised enough money to hire Floyd for advertising. The amount he would have charged for the advertisement would have been quite an amount of money. I have not yet had a look at Centra's project but all this buzz about its ICO is quite tempting and I will have a look at it to see whether its worthy enough to invest in.

Yes it matter it will done a big attraction in the investors and Floyd is more than an advertisements in some big cryptonews because he is know not only in the internet he has a wide range of audience so definitely by promoting any ICO like Floyd will have a big up for the ICO promotion . Just read how STOX ICO raised money in just a single day.

Floyd's presence is a huge boost for the centra and it can lure people to invest to the project since investors may know that the project is so good since there advertiser is so famous guy. Centra will be a big project among the other ICO here.

as much as i hate this kind of advertising, simply because its mostly bullshit.. But on the other hand, a lot of mainstream money goes into crypto circulation with people like floyd advertising for crypto.. thats probably quite a good thing, especially with an ICO that aims to have a CC you can pay in crypto with.. avg joe realizes the uses of crypto -> never goes back

win - win

and it make many people care about centra project... even hacker :)) centra website get hacked last day but everything still under control. lucky for them

Perhaps Mayweather is interested in the success of ICO from Aventus since the project handled some of its last match tickets against McGreggor. This time he came back with Centra, this created many effects where Centra became more popular, but unfortunately the Centra team was unable to deal with hacker attacks quickly. I think what he did would have a positive impact on the participation of other famous personalities.

FYI Floyd is actually a partnerof Centra, you can see it on the website

Hope with this ad Centra token can over Monaco :D Or 1/2 of monaco still better. Am I dream?

I doubt the people he markets to actually know about cryptocurrencies. They'd probably look at this Instagram and think "wtf is an ICO?" Not sure why so many projects are paying (presumably) this guy to promote their ICOs when this is probably the case.

Floyd Mayweather has huge social media influence, so if you manage to get him to pump your coin you've done a good job getting your coin out there. I don't see how Floyd itself cares too much about anything crypto, he's just taking advantage of his position that allows him to sit back, make an instagram post and get paid millions, because I assume that these people are paying him a ton for these posts, otherwise Floyd wouldn't bother.

But who knows, maybe Floyd is really getting into crypto and sees the value. He may not be too intelligent but he's definitely sharp.

Just a puppet being used to promote a project in order to pump and dump it efficiently.

Exactly. His sphere of influence reaches as far as Africa so seeing him promoting some coins will surely wake up some of his followers and maybe influence them to buy what coins Floyd is promoting. He has tons of money already so I speculate that he is not into crypto. But we may never know because he has a lot of investments so it won't change a thing if he put thousands or even millions of dollars into the crypto industry. He is a street wise as anyone you would find. This is good thing for crypto in general in a very positive way.

When I see Floyd advertising ICO, I know that it is not worth to buy it...

Yep guy has street smarts. There are a lot of intelligent people out there but they are getting no bread.

Anyway the fact that Floyd Mayweather is promoting ICO's may be pump and dumpish, but he also hashtags #bitcoin and promotes spending bitcoins:

Im sure that at least a couple of people will go down the rabbit hole and learn more about bitcoin and crypto because of this. 90% of people may not have a clue but the small minority will do more research and that is what matters and that is why I think at the end of the day what he is doing is good for crypto.

I like Floyd Mayweather as a kind of Crypo Ambasador.
He matter.
He makes people knows ICO.
It may be good.
I ll follow his choice :)

I think yes since he is well known all over the world and he got so many fans out there making him as an endorser will be a big plus for Centra's ICO and I've heard that DJ Khaled will also endorse this project.

I think most of those fan's barely know what an ico is. What average fan would know about crypto?
Of course there will be some, but I don't think it's anything substantial.
