Bitcoin Forum

Dogecoin got amazing amount of publicity out of their sochi and later nascar sponshorship. Why we haven't done anything like that, ever? We should have much more money anyway?
If you are up for it please give an idea what we could sponsor, something that we can get max publicity. And we will take it from there.

A Super Bowl Ad
A blimp
A sports stadium  ;D
 

Bitcoin was accepted as a part of project mars-one. Richard Branson said Virgin Galactic will accept bitcoin for space trip. So, what Doge achieved through sponsorship came to Bitcoin as natural. Bitcoin needs mass adoption, that wont come from a super bowl ad. It requires social media. May be this has something to do with that => https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=594290.0

The thread topic is sponsorship of something cool!
A Super Bowl ad or Sports Stadium name is much cooler than a pre-planned 'Spam dump' on Twitter.

bitcoin doesnt need sponsorship

thats like saying the dollar or the pound needs sponsorship.

what you will find is companies that use bitcoin will do sponsorship things.

i know bitpay has done alot over the last few years

Instead of sponsorship better idea is to just use it and adopt it at your business.

On other hand marketing and PR work wonders on dogecoin.

dogecoin needs PR. as people wont use it otherwise. there are no 'features or benefits' there is just.......... popularity.

if i offered people £$1 for every person that uses something i made for a month. id get popularity too... but the dogecoin price proves that its not useful long term

Perhaps sponsorhiping a Dota 2 tournament in the works. There should still be in the region of $10,000 available for advertising!

World cup advertising in a game just one of the BTC as soccer players run by
Not sure how much that would cost though
Would get a fair amount of views

Super Bowl sounds like a great idea. Why don't we start Crowdfunding. Tomatocage or Vod could hodl the coins.

Dogecoin is great for giveaways because that is what you do with Dogecoin...give it away.

If I had a currency that inflated faster than the Zimbabwe dollar I would be throwing it away on tips and whatever the hell else I could unload it on quickly.

This is a perfect application of BitPools...a bunch of people that want to support Bitcoin by sponsoring something but do not know what to sponsor.

If enough people pledge their bitcoins toward something then we can have a good idea of what we can accomplish. Otherwise it is just daydreaming.

Something that all the rich people will see, polo anyone?

The World Cup...

Your site and idea is actually great! I guess it's quite early phase of development by looking at the site?
the video is great though!

Interesting that this topic came up as I have been approached by a coupe of people interested in building somekind ofproject that would help Bitcoin as well as others.

We are in the "kicking it around" stage, so I'll keep an eye on this thread and keep you postd.

My $.02.

;)

Those are great ideas, but probably super expensive.   Maybe like a boxing event, or UFC fight.   While I am not that into UFC, it does capture a lot of viewers, and it could possibly be smack in the middle of the ring. 

Rogan had Andreas Antonopolous (spelling?) on his show twice, so he could probably make the connections...

I dont understand which part appeared to u as twitter spam dump !!! If u advertise on twitter, it is spam and if u sponsor a super-bowl ...it is great ? I guess u r an old man from 60s.

No not nearly that old, sonny.  :)
I am experienced enough to know that a "a credit based tweet exchange" can safely be called a form of spam....sorry.
FYI: Social media is so overrun with Spam, perhaps you think it is acceptable and/or cannot even recognize it?

was done last month:
http://www.bitcoinfc.com/
http://www.theo2.co.uk/indigo2/event/bitcoin-fight-night-20140405.html

yes because that's the same as UFC :)

Maybe a Jon Jones sponsorship...

A UFC fight would be a cool place to see sponsorship in my opinion

I already invested ~$500 of my own money to get a Super Bowl banner into the stadium this past February, but it was taken by the NSA prior to entry. Oddly, I'm still waiting for just one pic of the banner that was promised by her. There was no need for her to scam me because I was on record in stating she could keep it, and even sell it for a profit. I know it was picked up at the front desk at the Waldorf Astoria because the clerk informed me of such via a phone conversation.

My next task was Mt Everest, but the climbing season is already upon us and marked by tragedy.

The only thing left is to sponsor Dank into becoming the best guitar player in the world. To date, he already has the key of off down to a science, hence there's no place for him to go but up, up, up.

I suggest for maximum exposure (not sure if pun not intended), we erect[sic paedo-entendre] Brock Pierce to the board of The Bitcoin Foundation.

Give the Brazil national soccer team a shirt with "Bitcoin" as shirt sponsor for the upcomming worldcup :D

Bitcointalk could sponsor Elsa Hammond (http://www.elsahammond.com/bitcoin/). She'll be participating in The Great Pacific Race (http://www.newoceanwave.com/great-pacific-race/) and she accepts Bitcoin donations.

Maybe we can get bitcoin sponsored and put in on the side of the first Virgin Galactic shuttle. Now that would be awesome.

To The Moon! .... literally :)

what about the boys and girls club of america so that it will get more attention when they go out and sell cookies and they have bitcoin patches when they make a sell in bitcoin?

  I dont dont like it unless there is gonna be masses of people viewing on television.  Not everyone watches space launches but everyone does watch the superbowl.  The Olympics would have been good also for sponsorship.

I think the first commercial space flight by Virgin will draw a hell of a lot of media coverage. It'll be all over the news. Advertising on the superbowl would be ridiculously expensive.

Maybe we can sponsor some sort of non profit organization?   Then our money/BTC would be going towards a good cause, and we would also get the publicity of commercials on TV and so forth...

The difference is, impatient fools aren't trying to use the dollar or the pound as a get rich quick scheme.

All this sponsorship buzz and similar "ZOMG WE'VE GOT TO MARKET BITCOIN!" bullshit is about greed.

You're right, Bitcoin does not need sponsorship of any kind.

What Bitcoin DOES require, however, is patience.

Not likely. (http://www.incite-national.org/page/beyond-non-profit-industrial-complex)

As someone who worked in the Non-prof sector for six years, I promise you that it is every bit as corrupt and despicable as any other entity dealing with large sums of American money. Those at the top pay themselves exuberant salaries, all the focus is on raking in maximum donations as possible, the hell with the "mission" - that's just another tool to get people to throw money at your organization, in the vast majority of cases.

The proliferation of "Corporate partnership" with non-profits is the big red flag...

I really enjoyed Doge4water and plan to participate in bitcoin's charitable events.

The NBA is going to start placing sponsors on jerseys.... there goes Kobe for all the coin!

more then you can afford cryptopanda and more then what people would trust to give you.

however legitimate and well known/trusted businesses such as bitpay or overstock, could and should sponsor such events and have them 'fund managing' any crowdfunding to cover costs of such events.

i dont mean to be rude, but i never hold back my opinions. these undoxxed pseudonyms should never be crowd funding 'managers'. so if anyone is serious. take your idea's to bitpay or overstock and ask them to do it the professional way

i do want to help. and i just did. by saying no one should give funds to anonymous people. but instead contact bitpay, overstock or other reputable businesses to do the contacting with events, to get a price and to get the sponsored advert on display at the event.

as for the trustless way. who is the recipient of bitcoins to pay for all of this.... oh wait now you see that the end recipient needs to be legit and trusting....

Need a Bitcoin Nascar sponsored car like this dude had for Dogecoin:

Can't wait to get one of these scale models

Sponsoring some sort of golf or tennis tournament or competition may be some good publicity?
