Crypto is Literally Hitting the Road

[Darker45]

I was travelling in Singapore yesterday when I chanced upon a taxi covered with Crypto.com ads all over. At the back, it says 100% rebate (?). I was not able to take a picture myself and so I tried scavenging through Google to find an image. This is not exactly it though, the one I saw had more black IIRC.

And then I found out that there is also similar crypto ads in some other cities. This one, for example, is taken in London:

Meanwhile, in Changi Airport, look at how HSBC is marketing itself. Crypto is indeed going mainstream.


(I took this myself.)



After seeing a couple of crypto-related ads in a single day in Singapore, something suddenly comes to my mind. What if all of these ads are promoting Bitcoin? People would be seeing Bitcoin logos everyday; in MRT, buses, malls, houses, underpasses, waiting stations, taxis, laundry shops, and practically everywhere. Would this help a lot? And those who are not familiar will get curious and would want to know more about it.

I expect we'll be seeing more of this in years to come. As always, the most difficult part is to start, once the ads start emerging in the real world, the entire thing starts taking off really quickly. So yeah, good development, thanks for sharing.

Bitcoin is already embedded in pop culture at this point, so I'm not sure how many new people an advertisement campaign could actually reach. Not a lot has changed from when it peaked back in 2017 either, so people who weren't interested in it then would unlikely be interested now. It would be great if these companies advertising could share data regarding their traffic though, just so we have a general idea; I would love to be proven wrong.

On a sidenote, I thought the title was referring to recent price movements lmao, this was a nice surprise.

[Kyraishi]

That's crazy! I've never seen a lot of real-world crypto promotions, most of it has been on the crypto news sites, this forum, and some mainstream online advertising options.

It makes sense that crypto.com would be one of the first companies to start real-world promotions, especially when they are probably one of the richest and biggest crypto finance companies, with their recent purchase of the crypto.com domain for 12 million.

Pretty positive stuff, I'll love to see more promotions like these.

It's not a new thing there and of course there will be more like this to come, year by year. Unfortunately this kind of ads will only be available in developed country. I'm not sure for now at least, for my country to have this kind of ads.

[audaciousbeing]

Its really cool to see crypto entering mainstream of the streets. The people on whose platform the ad is being carried out might actually be doing it for the inflow from that source and not really know what its about. The good news for me is that companies involved in crypto are not leaving their shells by going fully out sending a message that dealing in crypto related products is not to be hidden and not outrightly illegal as it is being portrayed in some section of the media and this is something to be glad about.

@Darker45 this is the first time I’m seeing so many crypto related advertisements, this shall indeed help in promoting bitcoins to the masses. @jseverson these companies won’t directly share thier traffic data, but you can yet view it if they’re targeting these advertisements on thier site. One way to get the data would be is to put their site in Ubersuggest or Semrush, there you’ll get the specific crypto related keywords which they’re targeting and you’ll be able to see how much traffic they’re able to pull towards their site.

Yea it's nice to see how Crypto currencies are slowly but surely gaining mainstream adoption and that it is plastered on Billboards and street art and all over websites on the Internet.    Just when I think Bitcoin adoption is going down, I see the "Bitcoin Accepted here" sticker in a merchant window in my city and I get that warm fussy feeling in my stomach.  

Something I see very frequently these days are advertisements for mining contracts on vehicles and even BTC number plates on cars. I think this is the best way to advertise, because you have a Ad that does not stay in one location.  

[Olaphash]

This is the adoption we all want in the Crypto World. It would be awesome if we can reach out to youtubers like Mr.Beast, Pewdiepie, Mr.Bro and some other youtubers that do giveaways. The video can be based on donating BTC/ETH or other popular alts to university students. This will create more awareness and believe me, it's going to be an awesome experience for them and they would love to tell their friends about it.

[Astvile]

Well, something is already is expected from one of the richest countries or let's say some of the well-developed countries like Singapore. Adopting will start from this countries for sure and will crawl it's way up to the very last country. This is a good advertisement to promote their services and the crypto world aswell.

Honestly speaking, Youtubers are aware of crypto. In fact, most people using youtube to watch videos are using crypto already. The only barrier that crypto facing is the regulators which is quite good since people need security for their assets so government should be more strict about this. We have already JMcafe on crypto why do we need bunch of youtuber, Am I right?

I'm very happy to see physical crypto advertisements around the world despite the current market condition of crypto. This is actually the real way to get mass adoption since most of the virtual advertisement viewers are fake/bots. So no/few organic impression only generates.

[Anonylz]

Hitting the road to adoption no doubt, it is very clear now how far crypto awareness has gone and will continue to go, i think this is the most effective way of spreading the crypto advert across every angle, this car driving around the city will be seen by many people as possible and some will definitely visit the web site for more information, honestly it seem crypto is evolving more in 2019 with all the previous news we have had, 2020 will witness even more advert of crypto from all indications.

Well, to my knowledge I haven't seen anything McAfee is doing to bring more people into the Crypto World. All he does is predict, shill and wants to eat his dick.
We need all this youtubers I mentioned because they are gonna bring in organic growth to our community.
If people like Bill Pulte decides to do a lot of giveaways in Bitcoin, it would attract more attention.

[Shasha80]

It's now more and more outspoken that crypto is doing promotions in the real world, promotions like this are what must be reproduced,
because promotions like this really help increase the popularity of crypto in the real world. The more people know crypto the better.
Later the demand for bitcoin increases dramatically, automatically bitcoin prices will be high. If more and more crypto users, it is not impossible
crypto can be legalized all over the world as a means of payment. Hopefully in the future crypto promotions or campaigns in the real world
more and more spread in developed countries.

[figmentofmyass]

we've got these unsightly ads running here in the states, courtesy of gemini:



certainly not my cup of tea but i guess i understand their marketing angle.....

[Ailmand]

This is great. Crypto being known by the mass and adopted is inevitable. It ia great that cryptocurrency is being advertised in public in some countries. I hope that our country will start doing something to promote crypto and it's use to the mass.

This is pretty interesting how the influence of crypto currencies are spreading almost everywhere. Everytime I can see this kind of positive acceptance, I am thinking that we only need like 20-40 years before the crypto currencies will replace fiat especially that we keep on modernizing our society.

Yes, it will surely help a lot because in that way the influence of crypto currencies will be spread among to those people that didn't have an idea what is it.

[ChrisPop]

Got to love those crypto cars and man.. 100% rebate is quite an incentive to use MCO.

An increase in Bitcoin awareness would definitely benefit the adoption. The psychologic effect of seeing Bitcoin ads will make people have more trust in the technology.

[bitcoinposts]

crypto mass adoption much faster in developed countries soon we may soon banks coming up promoting crypto products

[Distraction]

Bitcoin has already started to be well-known by people from many countries for a long time. I think these advertisements will speed up the process and will reach more people around the world.
