Bitcoin Turkey as a sponsor in a football match

[kentrolla]

Wow this is really a great news and that's why I use to say BTC is infinite this is how slowly it's capturing people's attention, football game is a very big event where billions of fans are crazy in this game and advertising in their t-shirts will definitely boost the BTC price. I am happy that turkish government is supporting BTC a lot and that's the spirit of a developing nation.

[Lucius]

I have to admit that I missed it even though I watched the game for a very short time (the final score was 3-3), but it is quite logical that any legitimate company can buy an advertising space anywhere, including at a football stadium. I believe that we will see things like this much more often in the future, and from what I know Bitcoin is very popular in Turkey, and this kind of advertising will surely raise that popularity even more.

So I just noticed this at a football match between Turkey and Croatia.
There is a sponsor called BtcTurk.


I was curious and went on to check if it had anything to do with Bitcoin.

Turns out it did: https://www.btcturk.com/

Before bitcoin turkey become sponsor on football match watford football of england club have promoted bitcoin first in football competition, I think with many club have promote bitcoin will give knowledge for every one have to know with bitcoin and take advantage by investing in bitcoin. Promoting on bigger football club most effective how to make bitcoin become popular in the world with many watcher every football match make many people will search what is bitcoin and how benefit bitcoin for many people.  Now the era of digital we have active promote bitcoin when adopting by many people have space for bitcoin become legal currency payment transaction, after legal as payment will become hit for bitcoin flying to higher price.

Good idea, when many people see crypto advertisements in the world of sports, especially Bitcoin on television, will attract a lot of investors, even in the Premier League last year Watford football club put the Bitcoin logo on the club jersey. this is the right step to be able to introduce cryptocurrency to many people.

Does anybody have any statistics about the growth of Bitcoin, crypto exchanges and crypto usage in general in Turkey? I like the connection of crypto or specifically Bitcoin advertising in sport especially football because it has a mass audience and that is needed to bring Bitcoin and crypto in to the mainstream.

Damn,this type of advertising is not targeted at all.
Do they think that the majority of football fans know anything about Bitcoin,blockchain,wallets,crypto exchange platforms,etc.?

It's targeted marketing. %90 of Turkish men watch football, it's the main sports here. Nationalism is high, that's why they sponsor to national team rather than Beşiktaş, Fenerbahçe or Galatasaray (That could result a big conflict for other fans).
When you are main sponsor of national team your advertisement is also in billboards, background of interview area etc.
They probably got more money than they spent for this advertisement already. Their daily volume is crazy.

They also have TV commercials 24/7 on big media companies. Whenever you watch TV you either see Btctürk or Paribu (another Bitcoin exchange) commercial. Bitcoin is very popular in Turkey generally. These ads are boosting recognition and have good impact on crypto currency reputation general.

Nice catch. I think I have heard of this brand before and I remember I read it bitcointurk not bitcointurkey because I didn't know that the word Turk means turkey. people on that country do already knew that its related to btc but others won't figure it out easily because the logo is different but it still has a btc on its name beside Turk . This wasn't the first time that happen on the football league but there was before that btc is showcased more obviously  . this important events can bring a big impact to btc and to its btc sponsors .

Not familiar with this exchange so I headed to coingecko, and guess what? They have decent trading volume going on.

Maybe, Turkish users here are more familiar with this exchange. They even have good trust score - 7, which is relatively higher than exchanges like crex or exmarkets.

For me, this is a good way to promote crypto, some fans will be curious about this and they will search where is the name coming from, sponsoring a football event.

[mahilchii]

This is first such open crypto related advertisement I have ever come across and glad that crypto is advertised openly which will encourage other groups to do the same and I believe this wouldn't have been possible without consent of Turkish authorities and kudos to them for supporting Bitcoin, we are mainstream now.

It good that cryptocurrency are now advertised publicly but you was curious because you are not aware of the exchange name (BtcTurk) cause it was among the lng existing crypto exchange even when the Turkey government dont totally support crypto trading and transaction.

Even with no supporters in stadiums football matches across so many countries are being broadcast live and many are catching up with the highlights on youtube and other services so advertising crypto related banners will bring rewards on multiple fronts. Slowly crypto is becoming more and more mainstream and advertising in football stadiums is just a fantastic way to get the word out there for btcturk.com, just talking about it in a thread here clearly shows their advertising had the desired effect.

I think the mainstream acceptance cryptocurrency related business and crypto get from football, companies and institutions these days is because of the economic meltdown caused by the pandemic which makes them sees crypto as the best alternative. Besides, I read a thread yesterday about China Construction Bank selling their bonds through an exchange site.

Cryptocurrency exchanges has been doing really great. This is not a new thing and it’s not the first time I am seeing a thing like this, I can remember seeing a few, especially the one of CoinDeal which went viral for sponsoring a premier league team Wolverhampton.

It’s a good means for cryptocurrency exchanges to advertise themselves, cause from what I saw on the news the advert that CoinDeal did with premier league attracted so many customers to their platform. So, others when they see how it turned out, they will try to follow the same route to achieve the same level of success.

[bitbunnny]

It's a good promotion. O don't remember that so far I"ve seen such open advertising except online. I believe that with time that will become quite normal and usual because there is no need for crypto exchanges to hide and don't advertise their business. This many people who are not familiar with crypto exchanges might become intrigued.

The only promotion I've seen in open was in Switzerland but they are basically crypto friendly.
It was very refreshing to see this type of promotion during sport events.

Cryptocurrency market capitalization is almost half a Trillion $.

I don't really trust interviews with people and volumes in exchanges because that's easy to manipulate numbers but I checked them for general knowledge.

According to Statista %16 of interviewers used or owned crypto currency. Use this statistics with a pinch of salt.



Turkish exchange Paribu made a research 4 months ago, they said in this research only %0.7 made an interaction with crypto currencies in Turkey. That would make less than 1 million people.

It also says %21.3 of users are women. This is probably because men do KYC with their wives to open an account there. I don't believe 1/5 ratio is normally possible.

The most used crypto currency is Bitcoin with %68.
%58.4 see crypto currencies as an investment tool. This is a common belief in Turkey I would agree on.

Its really a positive sign that how fast btc is growing over the world .I think its a best choice to provide a advertisement there .They have choose the best option to promote .So i think it will be great idea for more upcoming days to promote btc .

[yayayo]

I didn't noticed that but that's good thing that they managed to promote Bitcoin on television I hope more and more companies are willing to accept cryptocurrency and include it on the ad. It may increase the awareness on Bitcoin and other cryptocurrency.

ya.ya.yo!
