Good news. Bitcoin is able to go to the TV advertisement. Bitcoin will attract the attention of the public.

Such companies and tv ads will definitely attract more people to use Bitcoins.

I highly doubt it.

People are lazy by their nature, chances for bump in "Bitcoin" googling are very low in my opinion.

I don't agree with you.
Advertising doesn't mean that people will buy new product, or try new service, right away, as soon as they see new ad.
Maybe 1 of 100 or 1 of 1 000 prospect will do this.
but, if people will see advertising about bitcoin more and more often, eventually more and more people will become interesting in bitcoin and check out about this.
In this way, bitcoin will become more attractive and popular, and this is good way to become mainstream eventually.

You remember those theory of personal Bitcoin adoption. Those phases all of us went true.
With such advertisements, where Bitcoin is not in center of attention and when people will see and heard of Bitcoin more and more. Those phases will get shorter and shorter. And global adoption will get oyl faster.

Yeah the Bitcoin's popularity is spreading like wildfire. It is good to know that it is gaining the trust of people but it still has a long way to go.

I think there will be one or two more soon as has been a little while.
possibly travel firms and airlines as they need to compete with existing firms that DO accept btc already.

I think it is hard to believe no firms will use cyber monday and black friday as a special bitcoin day to tap into bitcoin holders
every company needs an edge

there is a bitcoin friday effort going on in past years from community

The number of other firms that would potentially do this is very limited as most firms do not have enough bitcoin related sales to make this worth it for them. It would probably be limited to coinbase and bitstamp. Other companies that accept bitcoin really do not have enough bicoin related sales (and wouldn't potentially get enough additional bitcoin related sales to make a TV ad a good investment).

The fact of the matter is that the fact that a company accepts bitcoin spreads quickly within people that have and use bitcoin very closely without advertising so most of these companies would have little to gain by advertising the fact they accept bitcoin

Those are my thoughts exactly.... Im sure whenever visa/mastercard first came out and it became widespread it took a little bit of time before at the end of every commercial it said now accepting visa/Mastercard.... but there are also alot of people who 1. have never heard of btc 2. dont trust btc: I believe it becomes mroe mainstream will knock some of those people out of those two catigories

I agree, eventually bitcoin will achieve greater adoption through exposure and advertisement.
