Title: Bitcoin promoting billboards now in SF bay area.
Post by: Cryddit on December 28, 2013, 11:50:43 PM
Folks in the San Francisco bay area (the San Francisco that's in the USA, not the one in Argentina) are now putting up a few dozen billboards to promote awareness of Bitcoin.

I think this is the first all-the-way to the mainstream publicity campaign I remember.  It'll be interesting to watch the effects.

Kansas City would be another good spot to get such a campaign; it's a major hub for big money (KC does insurance companies the way NYC does banks) but usually about 3 years behind on hot trends. I bet the message would reach more people who haven't heard of it there.

OTOH, SF has a different attitude toward technology.  They've got no exclusive on being tech-savvy, but I think the SF bay area culture (especially the SF people who have a lot of money) *trusts* technology a hell of a lot more than the KC old-money network.  Big bucks will probably move more easily in SF.

Wow that's great!
Somebody in the business should create a crown funded project and do this around the world. It could go viral (even more) in no time
Donation should go to charities tho
