The Advantages of Bitcoin Recognized by Land Rover

[buwaytress]

It's not anything fake or malicious, on the contrary this is a very good advertisement for Bitcoin since the video will be seen by a lot of people who may have never heard of Bitcoin (in 5 days 115 500 views). They also say clearly in their advertisement "Bitcoin network is created", which makes it clear that it is not just about blockchain that many identify with Bitcoin.ttps://i.imgur.com/WnCUh16.jpg[/img][/url]

Actually, for me, this is even a better plug for Bitcoin than you could hope for from a famous brand (referencing the time Bitcoin was born).

LR's been in blockchain for a while already I think, at least trialing some tech, can't remember what for exactly.

But yeah, just that simple line is enough, without doling out the extremist text about revolutionising money or whatever that many companies otherwise choose to do.

Australians say a Land Rover is what you need if you go into the outback. If you actually want to return from it then you need a Toyota Land Cruiser.
They are paragons of British build quality - ie horrifying.

Or should we say, British for a few decades, then a bit German, then American, and now Indian?  
And even if we discard the owner and talk about the assembly, how many of them are still made in Britain? I disliked most of the top gear episodes, but it was one with the history of British automakers and how you ended with only a wooden car, interesting and scary at the same time.

Back to the topic, they showed a 2 second mentioned of the year bitcoin was created.
Where is the acknowledgment of the advantages bitcoin has?
Man, bitcoiners are getting excited about some news faster than starving rabbit seeing carrots.

After reading the thread, I searched for the ad but I can't find the exact ad that has been.

This is the wee film - https://twitter.com/LandRover_UK/status/1273177611032768514

It gathers up a slightly off the wall selection overall but I suppose it's all significant stuff in the great scheme of things.

Thanks man. "Bitcoin network is created."
Being included by this company for this film of the summary they've made that happened for the last 50 years is already a great thing. I hope that this will also give the skeptics an idea that Land Rover is aware of bitcoin's existence and can even change their minds that it's going to be a big thing in our era.

This is still pretty cool even if it was only a basic mention of bitcoin. Not to mention Land Rovers are awesome cars. Any publicity is good publicity saying would go well here.  My uncle actually runs the entire Ford Truck division, maybe I could talk him in to running some sort of bitcoin /Ford Truck ad.  Cant hurt to ask lol.

[lumeire]

They don't mean anything to it as they only shows a historic timeline where bitcoin is included, of course it will coz reaching a $20,000 in price as a " bubble" asset is seen as an impossible event. They only show the mere fact that bitcoin is recognizable as a variable in the future. I guess bitcoin unlocked the tech innovation for digital payments, it will be only great if Land Rover itself adopted blockchain/cryptocurrencies somewhat on their car features. Uhmmm unlocking a door using private key or seed phrase

The unlocking thing isn't adaptable in unlocking the door as it should be quick enough because no one will wait and type their private key in order to unlock their car, instead they should accept payment in cryptocurrencies for their services like autoparts, servicing for vehicles or maybe purchasing of new vehicles and that would be awesome or maybe add a bitcoins wallet in their factory made cars so as to give publicity to cryptocurrencies. This will be innovative and also feasible, as if a person doesn't want to use that wallet then he can leave it as it is, but the same can't be said in case of unlocking the doors of car with private keys.

The advantages of Bitcoin as a peer-to-peer electronic money system are recognized by automotive manufacturers Land Rover.
Recognition was seen through the latest commercial Land Rover in the context of 50 years Land Rover. They display a number of important historical events. One of them is Bitcoin.
In the ad, Land Rover highlights a series of milestones. Uploaded by Land Rover via a British branch Twitter account, the ad calls the creation of the Bitcoin network an important event in modern human history.

Lots of people admire the works of Satoshi Nakamoto, even those that don’t invest in it do like Bitcoin. They just can’t be part of it because they are not investors and can’t take the risk.

There are some freelancers who just make use of Bitcoin to simply accept payment for their works and they don’t invest in it. Everyone just knows what works best for them. At first I was using BTC as a means to accept payment from clients abroad, and as time goes on I started investing a little in it. So, everyone already knows that Bitcoin is one of the greatest works that has been done, and I really love the way that it has simplified peer-to-peer payment.

[Ridwan Fauzi]

There are a lot of companies already who revealed the same thing like land rover and yeah that is not news information so far. Even some of them have decided to make bitcoin as mean of payment for their costumer and I think that is the best part from the information. If they only say bitcoin is good for payment system but they don't decide to put bitcoin as their payment system yeah it is worthless. I don't think it may a regulation factor from the goverment or the demand for bitcoin is still lack. However, I hope sooner or later they can be realized to adopt bitcoin and for those countries which still not know bitcoin they will learn and accept it as well.

Would it have been better if they hadn’t mentioned Bitcoin at all? It is a promotional advertisement for a company that produces cars, do you expect it to be logical that they promote Bitcoin in a way to put it in focus instead of their company?

I'm actually surprised how some bitcoiners are ungrateful because someone mentions Bitcoin in a more positive context, even for a few seconds. Perhaps the average bitcoiner likes to be placed on the margins of society or to be called "rat poison squared"?

It would have been better if they did something bitcoin related, since they are selling stuff and people buy stuff with BTC.

You've deeply mistaken my criticism and at the same point acknowledging that I was right.
I was saying, as you can see in my post that the add "mentions" bitcoin, it doesn't at any point recognize the advantages of BTC like the title says.

If Land Rover would have recognized the advantages of BTC they would have done something, profiting from those. Instead, they used it as a piggyback ride for their own purpose. I'm going to be grateful to a company that mentions it in their promos when they will do something for it or with, not taking advantage of a userbase by showing them a shiny carrot and at the same time stabbing them in the back
Smart Wallet’ uses the latest cryptocurrency technology and Jaguar Land Rover has partnered with the IOTA Foundation to harness ‘distributed ledger’ technologies to make and receive these payments.

[BrianZAK]

jaguar Land Rover have a dedicated Distributed Ledger Technology team working on projects such as rewarding drivers with crypto for reporting road safety and environmental issues so its not too surprising they would mention Bitcoin in their ad. Its not much but it its a step in the right direction.

Big companies will soon fully adopt this new technology and today's situation where most people are preferred for online transactions it can be more advantageous to have this technology. Not only Land Rover did this but many others did earlier and could tell the benefits they get from this. If these all know and big companies will fully adopt the system it will help to strengthen and fasten Bitcoin's development. May the pandemic has pushed to this but it probably the time to engage in modernization which highlights the benefits of Bitcoin.

There is no doubt about bitcoin an important event in modern financial history and what i liked about the advertisement is that they owe and accept the fact that bitcoin is an important development which we do not see often, i am yet to see the advertisement but it good to see that major companies highlighting the importance of bitcoin promoting their product which i never expected a few years ago.

[Kelvinid]

It was then for land Rover company to know more about Bitcoin and how it could help them today and in the future change. Things that we can't neglect for a change as we are in a new era and most people now are in online business. The adoption of this new technology will be of big help for the market to go farther and continue to develop to make it more usable in times of modernizations.
We can't see its huge acceptance by now but I believe in the future where most individuals are in the use of Bitcoin and other cryptos. And more establishments are accepting it by then.

[AakZaki]

Companies like Land Rover have recognized Bitcoin that bitcoin is a very profitable technology. In the future, it will not only be a land rover, but there will be many other big companies that begin to look at bitcoin as a safer and better payment platform.
Adoption will be done with some adjustments, of course.

Recognition of landrover on bitcoin has a positive impact that will make bitcoin increasingly known as a platform that has beneficial technology and continues to be developed. Bitcoin will become a big thing in the future, because it is supported by the rapid development of technology today.

Hope you are aware that the parent company of Land Rovers is not just a car company but it is much bigger than that.

Since the parent company is not just a car company but the parent company is Tata Group which own Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) which is one of the largest IT companies in the world and they are doing projects related to BTCitcoin and blockchain for the past several years which i personally know and mentioning BTCitcoin in an advertisement is not just recognizing in an advertisement but they are creating projects in the blockchain space through TCS and funding developers to research.  

For people who are not aware of the vast empire of the Tata group they are into different business around the globe in over 100 countries including the Taj hotels, Airlines, Automobiles including Tata motors, Steel, Communication sector and 25% of the global internet goes through their underground sea cables, eCommerce sites, Chemical plants and then the IT giant in TCS and many other ventures. So a company that big which is having presence throughout the globe and advertising BTCitcoin is not a small feat.

The total amount of people the Tata Group employ globally is much bigger than google, facebook, microsoft combined just to known how big the company is those who are not aware of it and it is an Indian company.

Actually you can buy a car by paying in cryoto currency in countries like Japan if I remembered it correctly which itself didn't bring considerable effect towards adoption of cryptos yet.But this is a good thing atleast other people will find they can buy anything with bitcoin and its not been used by hackers only.

If you read post on page 1, there are two links that show it is possible to buy LL and many other car in EU also with BTC. What is true is that people have a hard time deciding to spend large amounts of BTC, because they are waiting for some magical moment when its price will rise at least to six-digit numbers.

Thanks for the very interesting information, below the seemingly ordinary advertisement there are obviously a lot of related interests with BTC and blockchain. New technologies are something that needs to be explored and applied to business if possible, and there seems to be serious work being done here.

Yeah that is the reality of bitcoin holders but when someone wants to buy a new car and they have option to buy with bitcoin then why they are not interested in spending the crypto but they will spend the same equivalent amount to buy it with Fiat.
