During the start of the year one of my friend who is running a travel service gave a table calendar. I just had it, and suddenly while looking for the date saw the image of bitcoin being mentioned in the calendar. This is something unexpected and it isn't a big thing, because the editor of the calendar might've added it. However slowly bitcoin is getting displayed here and there without reason. Does this intend people to know what is it.

It's hard to speculate on someone's thoughts, you have to go up to him and ask about the design whether it's from him or from an editor who just adds random images thinking it symbolizes luxury like in other images. If your friend is currently accepting bitcoins for travel package payments, then it's obviously for promotion.

If I was the one who received a calendar like that, the first thing that would come to my mind is whether they accept BTC or not. I tried to search for your friend's travel service to confirm but there are more than one company that pops up. I'm not sure which one is it. When it comes to travel companies accepting crypto payments, it's not something new. The first one I encountered was Travala and you'll find more if you search the internet.

As already mentioned, this was likely for no reason, the editor could have added it because;
• The agency accepts Bitcoin and it was requested, or
• To symbolize payment, this could be to say they are affordable or transactions are fast, just as putting dollar symbol to signify a transaction in many ads.

Lots of people already know what Bitcoin is, to an extent. This is no longer a new concept, it's one that is already wide spread.

This looks like a customized calendar or possibly the designers creativity nothing too serious. From what i see on the calendar the company might be into tourism and accepts bitcoin as either a means of payment and if  this be the case then it is no longer a news bitcoin has covered even beyond the expectation of it's developer. The date highlighted might only be significant to the company and not to bitcoin community

The first thing that comes to mind is that it looks like the editor did some clever tricks on the calendar to make it look unique and remarkable in the presence of bitcoin.  That means Uniglobe has created an important highlight to show that their services are of interest to many people.  Or maybe another meaning but that's what I really think now.  and not sure if bitcoin will be accepted as payment for most of their services or the places they will link to accept bitcoins?  maybe not really

There are many possibilities that this can happen, this may seem special to us as bitcoin users, but we don't know for those who say they are unfamiliar with bitcoin, maybe this is just an ordinary picture for them. And we don't know what the designer built it on, whether he actually promoted bitcoin that way too, or maybe he just added something that's been buzzing around. It is very difficult to conclude such a thing.

Two things come to my mind when I saw it:

1, subtle way to sending subliminal messages to their clients about BTC
2, they are going to accept it in the future

So this could be a marketing ploy and the people behind this traveling business really wanted to put it that way. So it is displayed with reasons, in my opinion.

This is very interesting- I think the image of Bitcoin has been associated with massive wealth and luxury given that most people that have shared their stories had profited from investing from such. Given also that the price increase of BTC in the market skyrocketed during such time, most investors have at least had a positive story to share, which resulted to them getting rich.

The fact that the image of BTC has been used in a calendar, together with pictures of people in a private jet or in a vacation symbolizes power and wealth. I just hope that this would be a door and an opportunity for people to actually try and invest in cryptocurrencies due to its limitless potential.

Not too especial, speculative or similar. Idk whats the reasons behind of creating it but seems it's like bitcoin is something accepted by that company. Although I have searched its not,  found no announcement from their end regarding bitcoin.

Although I found it like bitcoin is something become more common to people now a days even though large part of the globe still dont know what bitcoin is.

I have the feeling that they just added it for future perspectives.
Who knows, later on, they will add crypto payment in their list?
It is not far from happening as most merchants are looking for additional payment options.
Bitcoin or any other crypto is a good addition in their list, wider payment options for their clients.

Yeah, but if you look at the images, it all has something to do with wealth and luxury and travel obviously. So if you can piece it together, you have wealth through bitcoin, maybe trading it all along with your laptop and then have the luxury to travel around the world first class. Well this is just me speculating in terms of marketing POV.

Not sure why you are surprised over here. Bitcoin is nothing new and I bet most of the people have heard about bitcoin at least once in their life. You shouldn't be surprised seeing pictures/logos of bitcoin around. Would have been surprising if it was a decade ago, but now you can see it almost everywhere.
Either the "agency" you mentioned accepts bitcoin as a payment or the editor just randomly added that picture. Found it on google, used it.

Bitcoin reach ATH last year and it becomes a trending topic to those people that looking for opportunity to Bitcoin to become reach. Probably the editor think that Bitcoin will gonna continue there trend and he wants to emphasize the increasing value of Bitcoin for this year. Calendar picture usually means something to look out for the year.

Bitcoin is more or less popular nowadays so it is not dumbfounding to see the word or its logo somewhere. As to my experience, every now and then I can see a car with a Bitcoin logo sticker. I don't know what they are for. Perhaps they're included in the calendar or made into car stickers to make its presence known, to somehow spread it in little ways. Or perhaps it was simply because the layout designer or the owner is a fan of Bitcoin.

Looking at the whole picture, you can see that the images are all related to wealth such as planes, beaches, resorts. Maybe the author is a bitcoin lover and he believes that bitcoin is also one of the things that we humans need to aim for and achieve or maybe he just wanted to bring the image to life. Only people who invest in bitcoin will notice the difference in this picture, which would be trivial for people who don't care about bitcoin.

I wouldn't say it is completely without reason.
Bitcoin is used by many travel agencies, not to mention that it is the best currency to use by travelers since it is the only truly global currency that has the same value everywhere in the world (almost everywhere since during short periods price could go up in certain countries like what happened in India a couple of years ago).
At the end of the day bitcoin adoption is constantly growing.

Well it pays off because  Nowadays there are people that has been in crypto trying to extend their Help in advertising bitcoin and that is how they use their fields in setting up their skills.
look at this example , surely the client has no Idea of what will be the outcome and that is why the editor took advantage of the situation and Put Bitcoin logo inside the calendar.
If i have chances? i will do the same for me and for my Beloved Bitcoin lol.

It's good to see btc presentation over these travel agencies and as said this could be because they might be accepting btc for their services or travel packages and as time is passing many services are accepting it as payment source.You can easily transfer money globally without any problems so they must be accepting it.

It's hard to speculate the mind of your friend. But I see this as a cool publicity for Bitcoin because as more tourists gets this as gifts the also get to see Bitcoin alongside the travel service provided. If will even make more sense if there is something like using Bitcoin as a means of paying for transport fare.

From what country you are?

It's probably a coincidence and the editor of that calendar put that in purpose and likely he's a holder. But anyway, that's a low key advertisement and exposure for bitcoin.

Only those that who know what bitcoin is will recognize that image and if you know it, you'll be having that feeling of being proud.

     Well, it is indeed a great thing to see bitcoins or anything related to it more and more in our daily lives. This just means that the mass adoption is really hastening and than more people are being curious about it. In regards to it being in the calendar though, we can only speculate about the purpose of the designer or the owner(employer) as to why they included such image in their calendar design. Whichever the case though, it is good for the publicity of bitcoin and even if not in a huge way, at least it helps spread word.

By doing this simple act it is already huge help for the Bitcoin community, it will help to advertise Bitcoin, and it will help other people to become curious about Bitcoin. I'm just really glad to see these kinds of actions in the real world, especially physical one. You will be happy once you are really believer on Bitcoin.

Pictures alone are not enough to represent what bitcoin wants to convey. because not all people understand the picture. At least given a simple description of each image. But I myself believe that the intentions of the calendar designer have a good purpose. It's just that the description that is not available makes it just an image.

Many people don't think it's a big deal, and I'm not saying it's a big deal. But I'm glad to see that bitcoin symbols are slowly coming to us, knowingly or unknowingly. But seeing these symbols will go to our subconscious mind and gradually in front of us they will actually become easy for us. I think those who know nothing about Bitcoin. This will make them consciously aware of Bitcoin, even if they are not directly aware of it.

Nah, I just think they added it to be trendy.... because Bitcoin and Crypto currencies are trending and also Blockchain technology. If you just mention that you have "Blockchain" technology in the IT Industry.... then people think your company are cool.  ::)

So adding this to the calendar just shows that it's a cool vibe and rich people playing with Crypto currencies and extravagant holidays. (You see a lot of hype in the media with Rags to Riches stories in the Crypto space..... and over-night Millionaires)   ::)

It is not something unexpected if the travel service accepts Bitcoin.  That is a planned marketing advertisement IMHO.  So I think there is a reason for it to get displayed.  Other than being trendy, I am sure the company has something to do with it.  Either they are already accepting Bitcoin payments or they are planning to accept one.  Remember company won't hand out anything unless it has something to do with the promotion of their service.

As we can see that it is really that relevant since he's into travel service which means or showing off images about travel,business,leisure time and investment supposedly which been connected into Bitcoin.
Its really good that there are already lots who had been considering bitcoin on putting up on  casual images and photos on any traditional things like calendars,billboards,newspapers or in any other similar
object which does really prove out that recognition is getting bigger and bigger as we do go ahead on every year which is a good sign.

I don't the country where the OP resides but I don't see the image of the table calendar where the Bitcoin logo was included as a coincidence because this is an advertisement table calendar we are talking about.
The last time I checked after the Bitcoin halving and the institutional investors investment in Bitcoin has happened a lot of business owners, especially the tour, accommodation, and travel agencies have added Bitcoin to their mode of payment.

It will be totally unprofessional of the editor because there are many ways to advertise something but not in a way of lying about traveling agency services.

No. Images are not so much related to wealth as they are to travel. It is sponsored content for a travel agency, as one can deduce from the text on the calendar. Considering that bitcoin is a universal means of payment, it could be related to international travel. Another possibility is that the travel agency accepts cryptocurrencies, so they have included physical representation of bitcoin on the image.

It's indeed unexpected but cool that Bitcoin is being displayed on something fairly conventional, such as a calendar. I must say, though, that the imagery of the calendar somehow gives me the 2000s feel, you know. The style of images, the clothing, the people... Maybe it's just me, I don't know. The images just feel old. And it's funny how the first one is with Bitcoin coins on a laptop, which isn't 2000s at all, and yet Bitcoin is represented not by a person accessing a digital wallet, not by a Ledger, but by golden coins, which is not the BTC vibe and nature.

probably he's a crypto lover and he but it there to attract people into crypto   

Is it just me or are you all seeing that so many low quality, Unrelated to crypto-currency stuffs are being posted here, many of which still stay active. I would advice those doing it and to any Newbies that chooses to listen pls refrain from posting random things offline into the forum. I once saw a guy bringing up a matter of his Facebook that was hacked outside the forum into it. All this are very unnecessary and I would suggest we all read the rules, and other important guidelines again.

I faced this when my grandfather asked me about it. That was the final draw for me and I just jumped right into bitcoin full time when that happened.

This was obviously back in 2016-2017 period, but that was more than enough for me to realize that if my grandfather is trying to learn what it is, even if he doesn't invest, just the fact that he is trying to learn and thinks that it's something worthy of understanding, was enough to see bitcoin is going places. After that it reached to 20k, and this was like 500-700 range when it happened, then the max is 68k nowadays. I think it was a good indicator to see it will go up.

Bitcoin has been mentioned several times in News and sometimes in movies so I think most people knew about this but since Bitcoin is a great investment they just included it their I think. It's either the one who made or the one who asked to put Bitcoin in a calendar probably owned some Bitcoin as a retail investor.

And I think it's enough time to make people know about this and let them deliver the great news that investing in Bitcoin is a good deal but of course, it needs to be studied first if someone suddenly invest.

Lol.
To my speculation it could be travelers can pay through bitcoin.
That is to say they accept cryptocurrency as means of fee to book for a flight ✈️ as well enabling bitcoin gain more popularity.

Imagine if this was a calendar that they added facts on each page of the month; like instead of the images that they have added on the calendar, they decide to replace it with quotes and facts.

And then on one of the page they have Bitcoin being talked about, I think that would have been far much better as when people are opening or going through the calendar and they get to the month where Bitcoin is written about, they would like to read about it and if the facts stated there interests them, they would further go online to make more research about Bitcoin and learn about it. For me, I think that would have been better.

in my arrest on vacation with luxury, only the rich and need a lot of money, and bitcoin is a sweetener for the rich people, indirectly they introduce bitcoin it symbolizes wealth

Yeah, it might not really be a coincidence. I was just thinking that it's a coincidence but this is an advertisement purpose. Just like what everyone saying, it could really be a travel to pay with bitcoin promo.

These are publications and we don't know how the process they do but that's just a little chance and what's higher in chance is that it's approved by anyone who's higher than the editor.

The image is not included in the calendar for nothing, most likely its a promotion for people to know that they're accepting Bitcoin payment for their service. Its good for their business and also for people who are aware of Bitcoin because they can use it to avail the services offered. Nevertheless whatever the reason is, its a positive way to spread awareness about Bitcoin.

Spend your bitcoin! bitcoin can be used to buy tickets, book hotels, etc. Just as content creators can be tempted to write articles related to the trend, this happens in various fields, not just online.

Some time ago I saw in a bookstore that one of the notebooks had these same coins, in fact it is an image¹ that is repeated and reused a lot.

^{1:I am not referring precisely to that image of the calendar, but to the idea of physical bitcoin currencies associated with various products.}

There are many ways to promote something, be it a product or something else as we saw in the experience of the OP. This is one way to attract their target, especially if something being promoted is wrapped in something good too, of course it will be a plus. And it's impossible for someone to make a promotion with something they don't know about (in this case bitcoin). It would be strange if they did so. Here I can conclude that one of their target market is bitcoin users.

The most likely scenarios for this are either that the one that put the image together likes bitcoin and put it in the calendar or they know nothing about bitcoin and they just thought it was a cool image and they added it anyway.

But whatever the reason I agree with you that slowly bitcoin is getting more and more attention and it is slowly becoming part of our lives, in a process we have seen many times through history and we are getting to the point in which it is becoming unstoppable regardless of what the governments around the world think about it.

Probably since they will not put it in there in the first place or maybe the company is related to cryptocurrency probably accepting bitcoin as a payment or maybe instead of putting fiat they put Bitcoin as the main currency but it is nice that they are putting it to something like that it looks like people are slowly accepting Bitcoin and they are now including it to calendar/ads.

Well, not everyone would know what that is. Some people would look at it and they would just say that is a coin, but what coin is it? That’s what they cannot tell. Not everybody really knows about Bitcoin, and having it represented as a physical coin on a piece of paper or calendar wouldn't really tell anyone what it is.

But it is still OK, because those who have heard of it in one way or the other and have also seen the symbol would be able to recognize what it is. So it's good that we always keep trying to pass information whatever way we can.

Your friend is trying to push bitcoin adoption up inside the touristic niche by relating the digital currency to travels, as we can see on the another images. However, I'm not sure if it's easy to use bitcoin as currency directly when travelling to most countries yet. Enthusiasts still need a middleman service (debit or credit card) dealing with bitcoin and fiat at same time and converting purchases in real time.

We will see these images more often when bitcoin is accepted in the countries, as well as when the new means of payment arrive in traditional businesses, so I see it because they are evolving and adopting the best technologies.
I think it will be very soon by the time it arrives and it will be more common to see these images where bitcoin appears.
One advantage we have is that we have knowledge about bitcoin, which is a tool that can help us start a business and accept payments in bitcoin.

Actually you was lucky to know about the bitcoin before the huge people in this forum.And the calendar maker may be the bitcoin trader or the company who involved in the making of the calendar wants all to know about the bitcoin.Because the increase in the bitcoin traders will increase the flow of the bitcoin and demand of the bitcoin.So automatically the price of the bitcoin will be increased.
