This thread should be come the spot where new sightings of "Buy Bitcoin" signs are posted.
Anyone seen any others since the DOTA event? News, golf tournaments, sporting events, concerts, any and all events.
The ultimate would be multiple sightings on some night like New Years Eve, sightings from every party around the world!

This has become a very cute promotion for Bitcoin and as a bonus adding some comedic relief as well. I think websites that has cryptocurrency as one of their topics must include the 'Buy Bitcoin" sign and we should be promoting this on Facebook and Twitter. I am sure that soon big events televised live would be seeing adventurous people raising the sign. This and more can be signs that sooner or later we can be entering the mainstream consciousness of the masses.

"Buy Bitcoin" sign appearred again today. Buy Bitcoin’ Sign Appears During DOTA International Tournament https://cointelegraph.com/news/buy-bitcoin-sign-appears-during-dota-international-tournament" Bitcoin made an unplanned appearance at the most recent DOTA (Defense of the Ancients) International Tournament, as an audience member held up a ‘Buy Bitcoin’ sign during announcements of the televised event.
Bitcoin has been frequently popping up in unlikely locations. The current stunt, intended to increase awareness of Bitcoin, is not the first of its kind, after an audience member at Janet Yellen’s congressional briefing did the same.
Both events indicate a growing awareness of Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies generally. The awareness may be part of the reason for the substantial price increases over recent months, with Bitcoin cresting $3700 today." I expect more signs will pop up in sport events and many other places. It is a way to promote Bitcoin as well as other cryptocurrencies. This is, indeed, a great and free promotion for bitcoin. I'm a tennis fan so I look forward too signs popping up in Grand Slams. Hopefully, these bitcoin investors can get the support of Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, Maria Sharapova and Serena Williams. These are the icons of the tennis world. They have millions of followers in Twitter, which make them big influencers. The four of them can help circulate the good word as why people need to consider investing in bitcoin for a better tomorrow. As I see it, ICO needs more channels to promote the real value of bitcoin and other cryptocurrency. Everex makes use of bitcoin and ethereum to build a better and quicker remittance system, details here: goo.gl/E2NDF2, but this start-up company alone needs other groups for a successful campaign. The cryptospace world needs more support from businessmen, athletes, movies etc.

It is a great idea, the target is those people who do not know about bitcoin. It would get their attention and give them curiosity on what bitcoin is. Plus it is a cheaper way than advertising on television. You just need to pick the right place where to put those signs. I hope to see some 'buy bitcoin' posters and signs here in my country someday. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

Is doing something like this really effective? if it is then other should continue to promote bitcoin and spread awareness about it. I think that putting up the 'buy bitcoin' sign will confuse many people especially those who do not what bitcoin means. Promotion of bitcoin should be done in social media platforms such as facebook and twitter, and educational campaigns should be done for the new users.

Just a little warning, some event organizers frown on that type of promotion and advertising methods and you might be forced to leave the event that you paid for, if you risk doing something like that. A friend of mine did this at a sport event and he got escorted out of the building. < Reason : Only paid official advertisers gets air time >
Free expose or advertising is not always welcomed at these events. ^grrrrrrr^

This kind of marketing strategy is not really shocking after all, it starts many years ago. But the increase of advertisements may due to the increasing price of bitcoin. It would continue from now until the price is kicking. I hope the viewers of this ads will be careful in signing.

Overall the idea of promoting Bitcoin is good , I don't think this will do anything at all. The guy who hold the sign at Janet Yellen's testimony was cool because his sign was visible and I'm sure everyone who watched it saw the guy holding it.However streams and online tournaments or concerts isn't going to work.How many of you tries to read all the signs when there is a crowd on T.V holding multiple signs at the same time ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) .

it does make me happy when I see the phrase "buy bitcoin" in a TI7. Dota2 has a big community and I can ensure that this may make more people wonder what bitcoin is and will attract more people to join to our community. There is only steam accept bitcoin right now but I think that it does support dota2 very much. Therefore, keep working Steam. Bitcoin is the best:D
That sounds great to me! In order to make bitcoins more famous, it needs to attract more people. It already is attracting masses all over the world and no doubt Dota2 community can play very important role in this regard. At least, Steam accepted bitcoins and I hope it will help in production of more bitcoin lovers. Bitcoins rock!

making promotion for bitcoin is a good idea, i am doing this by using t-shirt with the name tag bitcoin in my chest so people can watch and read bitcoin. i think when i am walk in shopping store with that shirt, people take a look and i see they are curious about what they read but they are shy to ask.
the other thing that i am promoting about bitcoin is when i and my friends go to coffe shop or cafe, we always talking about crypto currencies. we always love to discuss everything in crypto currencies world although our knowledge is not much than other people but we are proud to be the member of crypto currencies.

It is kinda funny that buy bitcoin sign is getting everywhere, the very first is from a senate thingy and now it appeared on Dota 2, and what is the next target for the bitcoin enthusiast? I hope that bitcoin will be wide spread everywhere and i hope that the time comes that buy bitcoin sign is no longer needed for a promotion because everybody knows what is bitcoin.

Idiots, stop spreading the words about bitcoin, don't you know as anyone joins the market we are losing our chance of buying potentially cheap coins? seriously guys we all know what bitcoin is and how it will change everything so why would you promote it? believe me the world will catch up sooner or later and price will go up and up but since some of us have no fortune to buy in bulk and then relax, we're trying to buy a few grands every month so if price keeps going up then we'll have to pay more ![Sad](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/sad.gif)

I think we don't need to put up signs, so people will buy bitcoin, we should just let them.if they didn't see the opportunity, then its their lost. Being conservative is ok, but not taking a chance to study an innovation is different, they should check the personalities who said they've bpught bitcoins in bulk, like the rothschild, them being an example, a family bankers bought bitcoins, so why not you, they just need to read or watch the news, we don't neex to promote it, since families with great financial background are buying in, then they should too.

Not a bad idea but I'm not sure if we really need this promotion and who will pay for that?
We better spred the word "bitcoin" out with our successful achievements. The nature of bitcoin tends to this fact.
It is free. Just write buy bitcoin on a cardboard or print it on a tee then attend some social events. Any publicity for bitcoin is a good publicity and beneficial to all of us bitcoin users and hodlers. The person doing the stunt got lucky and got exposed in the camera during the event. Well done for him.

But other than that, bitcoins are now prominent everywhere. Social websites like face book has many groups of bitcoin lovers. Bitcoin is grabbing all this fame just because of the amazing features it offers to its clients.

That's a cool idea I'm sure the guy must be a great fan of bitcoin. I think each and everyone of us should follow him so the next time when we go to any such event which will also be telecast we should carry a sign like that with us so that whenever the camera catches us we should hold up that sign and spread bitcoin to wider audience for free.

As I have pointed out in one my latest posts, I don't see why are we just trying to call Bitcoin attention to every person on this planet.
Keep in mind, that at least for a lot of people in the past generation, there is no need to know Bitcoin really is because they can't even surf a website.
I agree that we should increase awareness on Bitcoin but we could win much more if we try to communicate Bitcoin to tech savy people - people who are aware at least what currency really is and what are the benefits of Bitcoin.
