Why is there no marketing for BTC?

I think it is because of decentralization itself. Many people are connected or adopted on it.

Using Media for certain things or for any thing requires government permission and permission of the owner of that medium.Worlds Social media giants and most innovative social media invention "Facebook" has ban Crypto ads and if we use local media like Newspaper or anything would require government permission and most of them are against us which itself is publicity that is happening.What i think that could be the best way to advertise it is,people who have earn large in bitcoin can come forward and tell people that i have earn this much in this and that would attract many young one as younger generation is more money driven now rather than before and they really look people for inspiration and their methods to earn big and now people have that thrive to do some unconventional which was not in people before.This could definitely work.what you think guys?

Bitcoin grew to where it is today without marketing at all, aside from what happened in the very early years. Even then, the marketing, if you can call it that, was done by enthusiasts of the technology, and not speculation.

Marketing right now would mean you attract even more gamblers betting their life savings on crypto. We should aim to educate people and bring in quality, not quantity in form of get rich quick rookies.

Shitcoins need marketing, because they can't differentiate themselves from the 1001 different coins and tokens that this industry counts. And even with marketing, will that make people here more interested in them? I doubt it.

But this is decentralization! Who would you think would pay for marketing campaigns? It's us - community that promotes cryptocurrencies around you - talking about it with family or friends.

Of course, there are people who are much more involved - for example Andreas M. Antonopoulos

everyone who entered in cryptocurrency and will enter in the future.
BITCOIN is the first currency to know and to use.
we dont need to have the marketing for BTC as it is the very known cryptocurrency worldwide.
You can go to any exchange or market and you will always see that BTC is on their list.

Using crypto has a ton of benefits that the majority of the population aren't aware of because of its technological nature. Makes it seems much more complicated than it is.

You get to have control over your funds, transactions are cheap, and no one can know how much money you have (financial privacy), etc. Most people would understand these things.

Why isn't this being promoted? Why is there no crypto lobby?

For example, pharmaceuticals are complicated in nature, but there is so much advertising making their benefits understandable and it works extremely well lol.

Decentralization won't happen if people aren't aware.

There is no team behind it, it is decentralized, so who will be the one to manage it. And what is the point of marketing Bitcoin, people know Bitcoin. But their perception about Bitcoin is sometimes negative, that's why they don't trust it. And the benefits of blockchain from bitcoin is very little today, there are more advanced blockchains out there, with better scalability and efficiency. And do some research before posting, transaction on Bitcoin is not cheap, and the amount of money you have can be viewed on the blockchain explorer, the privacy is on the identity of the owner, not on the amount of money or BTC he/she has.

There is actually a lot of advertising for bitcoin.  Wealthy people that invested in btc have bought ads,, I've seen them on different websites and videos.

The strongest advertising for BTC is through word of mouth and adoption.  This is a community driven project that really doesn't need the backing of billionaires.

Bitcoin is known naturally and now Bitcoin has its own supporters. Bitcoin has opened opportunities for everyone to benefit here. Bitcoin doesn't need marketing to be famous because Bitcoin is the pioneer of cryptocurrency with blockchain technology behind it.

That that's what drove btc's 2017 run. The more people hearing about the soaring btc value, the more people wanted to get it. And it's all over social media as well. It's probably just because of the current bear trend that we're not hearing and seeing that much about btc recently.
