Crypto Awareness: Bitcoin logos on T-Shirts

[bakasabo]

This is a business and also a very good idea because indirectly those who wear clothes with the bitcoin logo can introduce bitcoin to people who still don't know bitcoin when wearing it. And with this, people who are still not familiar with it will be lured by nice t-shirts with the bitcoin logo, because if they are interested in those t-shirts with the bitcoin logo, they will ask what is bitcoin. Or they can look for it themselves by looking for it on the internet if curious.
although bitcoin is now popular but I'm sure there are still many people who don't know about it at all, and introducing various ways to show the bitcoin logo is a good move.
and in my opinion the t-shirt with the bitcoin logo that you are displaying is very good and also matches the color of the shirt and the color of the writing or the bitcoin logo, very interesting.

Does such product promotion really works ? I think t-shirt promos arent up-to-date anymore. At least simple sign Bitcoin does not do much alone. What about people who wear FBI caps. That does not mean they are FBI agents, and you can ask them about their work. Same as wearing a football t-shirt with name Ronaldo does not mean a person is somehow familiar with him. Does not make people buy his CR7 brand goods or instantly become a fan of Al Nassr FC.

I think that's a good thing. And for the record, as far as I know there is no prohibition for employers to make t-shirts with various logos and that doesn't make someone commit a crime with that logo. Except for logos related to rebellion or terrorism. That's funny right? 

At my place a lot of people wear t-shirts with the logos of FBI, SWAT, Metal, Free Speech, and also logos of cryptocurrencies like BTC, ETH, BNB and SOL (which I have found) and have no problem with that. Note that as long as there are no words that invite people to do something that is prohibited by the state, such as wearing BTC clothes, then add the words "Let's Buy BTC and don't listen to what the Government has said"

One of the influencer in my country has started the business of selling the shirts with bitcoin logo on it. This will not only help him get some business but at the same time, it is a step towards the crypto awareness.

Kudos to him for taking steps in promoting Bitcoin despite the severe limitations of Bitcoin in your country. Maybe, add information packets in every purchase or link this forum to his shop for more awareness of Bitcoin to his customers. Though, he has to be very careful as to not be targeted, harassed, or worse for doing something like this. Hoping for continued success with your friend.

I guess buying and selling t-shirts with bitcoin logos in your country is fine because people can still use fiat currency to buy them.
It also won't violate any regulations in your country because it's just a t-shirt with the bitcoin logo, just like any other t-shirt.
And it will be a good promotion for bitcoin so that it can be recognized by many people in your country, especially if your friend is an influencer.
An influencer will surely promote his goods and by giving a good explanation, will attract many people to buy his t-shirts.

As long as Bitcoin is fully legal in his country, then this is a good business to have because people there must have known Bitcoin or is a solid fan of it. Like me, I am also hunting for Bitcoin merchandise in my local but it's unfortunate that there are no stores nearby that offer it.

I guess that is because I am on a place which are far away from the big city and maybe there is only less people here who know about Bitcoin. Influencers are usually being paid to promote a product so I don't think his friends voluntarily be doing it but the OP can always pay them in order to promote his business. Doing this also benefits Bitcoin as it makes people curious about the logo or the name Bitcoin.

[AicecreaME]

I've tried wearing one and trust me, no one even cares about the Bitcoin logo, no one asked me what's logo is it, or anything that poked their interest, or let's say somebody will asked what is it, the you'll say Bitcoin, and the first idea that will come up to their mind is "scam" because of scammers using bitcoin that has been reported in television so many times already.

If we really want Bitcoin awareness in a positive way, I think the Government has the only power to that in the majority of places.

Influencers are usually paid by shitcoin owners to promote their token or coin, but if you are promoting BTC you aren't going to get paid by anyone, BTC is decentralized and none of its developers is going to hire you to promote BTC, its use cases is all the promotion that BTC needs. Contributing to the BTC network is voluntary, even the thousands of nodes all around the world who run the BTC client do so for free and without any payment, that it why the network is great.

Bitcoin will succeed and it is little efforts this here and there that will help to propagate the message to the naysayser, the undecided and others. It will be super easy for the influencer to reach a lot of people of the followers. In addition to shirts with bitcoin logo on it, the individual could add other merch as well -  like shoes, caps, wristwatches, pants, etc to reach a wide range of customers who may not be interested in the shirts. If you are not allowed to buy and sell through bitcoin, I presume you just buy and hold or you use the bitcoin for international payments. The logo is good but the shirts should go with a brief note about bitcoin.

Having a huge logo of BTC on a t-shirt would not necessarily create awareness about BTC when the people are not properly educates about what the logo is about.
While his initiative is quite laudible, it is imperative that those his intending customers are educated about BTC so they can make informed decisions about BTC.

[speeder]

Not just t-shirts, Bitcoin logos can now be seen on almost all products. It's true that the t- shirt logo inspires people about Bitcoin. But not all products with logos are correct. Now if the Bitcoin logo is affixed to illegal products. Bitcoin can never have that responsibility. If illegal goods are purchased with legal currency, the buyer is responsible for that, not the currency. Bitcoin has gained quite a reputation as a legitimate international money exchange. It is not uncommon for illegal products to use the Bitcoin logo to destroy reputation

I would just be careful with some sayings on the T-shirts, like "hold Bitcoin, retire early" or "mine your own Bitcoin", because this can be spotted as misleading propaganda. We have to be careful to not give false expectations to other people, as we can't guarantee they are going to retire early if they invest in BTC, since the cryptocurrency is highly volatile on both directions. Moreover, most adopters aren't going to mine their own BTCs, because it's an expensive activity which demands high investment and appropriate infrastructure.

Anyway, it's great to see Bitcoin is being promoted even inside countries where it's still frowned up by authorities.

I don't think a T-shirt will help to provide crypto awareness. Yeah, it's great to make business and all, but it's not more than that.

Relying solely on the logo sometimes goes nowhere, it takes some appropriate emphasis to really grab attention especially in offensive environments, although you should only allow a small space for the logo itself. In my environment, humorous writing attracts more young people.

Keep in mind that we live in a country where we are not allowed to buy and sell through bitcoin. Therefore he is selling the shirts in the fiat currency however all the shirts have Bitcoin logo over it. This is the maximum he can do to promote bitcoin. I hope when some day bitcoin may become a legal tender here also, then he can do the transactions in Bitcoin.

This is only about business and indeed even though it can still be done and is quite good but actually this kind of thing is too commonplace in my opinion.
But even so the good thing maybe in this case he wants to take advantage of followers to expand the business he does and wants to admit more that he is in bitcoin but again something like this in my opinion is not too impactful because regardless of anything this will only benefit him privately with businesses conducted under the pretense of self-declared bitcoin.

I appreciate things like this but on the other hand I'm also a little less inclined to say this as a form of introduction to bitcoin with just a logo because basically things like that are commonplace when talking about the Internet today.

[umbara ardian]

This is a good idea because in some countries that do not allow bitcoin, selling T-shirts with the Bitcoin logo for fiat currency will not directly violate any regulations. This is just a normal exchange and trade of goods, so there is nothing to worry about. The purpose is both to make a profit and to advertise and raise awareness among people who know about cryptocurrencies. Get people to recognize crypto as a future trend leader. This is a positive thing and needs to be pushed further by everyone.

I don't think a T-shirt will help to provide crypto awareness. Yeah, it's great to make business and all, but it's not more than that.

Although not consciously registering, from a psychological perspective, when the Bitcoin logo is ubiquitous and attached to someone's T-shirt, many eyes will retain it as a memory. And if this is repeated regularly, it will make people curious about the existence of Bitcoin without our taking persuasive action. This soft-selling technique doesn't force new users, but rather entices their curiosity. Trust me! It really happens.

On the other hand, people who are already familiar with Bitcoin and see someone wearing a Bitcoin logo shirt, I'm sure there is a sense of pride that there is someone of the same frequency in their environment. I don't think it will be difficult to start a small conversation in public. Many positive impacts can be gained from producing Bitcoin logo apparel and selling it to the general public.

You are kind of right, influencers are always being paid just to run advertisement for them, but am sure nobody will pay any influencer to advertise bitcoin. The only thing I think the influencer is trying to do is to make money, after producing t-shirts that bitcoin is printed on it, then he will sell it and make his money, so am sure the influencer cares about the money he will make after producing the t-shirt, so that’s why he is marketing the t-shirt. But I believe he should be careful since bitcoin is illegal in the country, so that he won’t be landed in trouble.

[hannahB4]

I was eager to open the link to see the shirt sample and the country from which it was sold because the write-up looks like something done in my country but it wasn't. Like you said apart from the fact that he is making awareness about bitcoin is another source of income that bitcoin enthusiasts will buy from him.

[SOKO-DEKE]

It is nice idea seeing people taking their time to promote Bitcoin, but I can't really say that the person selling the T-shirt with the Bitcoin logo on it is doing it with that Bitcoin best interests in mind. After all, a logo alone won't help people understand Bitcoin existence because many people view images on clothing and other objects as common thing.Therefore, it is difficult for people to understand information from merely photographs unless they have prior knowledge of the topic, yet some people can still comprehend and request additional information about Bitcoin if they noticed the logo.

Keep in mind that we live in a country where we are not allowed to buy and sell through bitcoin. Therefore he is selling the shirts in the fiat currency however all the shirts have Bitcoin logo over it. This is the maximum he can do to promote bitcoin. I hope when some day bitcoin may become a legal tender here also, then he can do the transactions in Bitcoin.

If that is the case, then I would suggest that using this approach of T-shirt sales to raise awareness is a great idea, but it has to be redesigned so it can add a few little words in such away people can quickly notice the existence and found way to do their own research.Although the existence of Bitcoin is nothing new, raising awareness of it can only help it receive greater attention.

[The Cryptovator]

In the realm of business, practicality takes precedence. Regardless of the legality of Bitcoin in a particular country, it should not hinder the utilization of its logo on T-shirts. Just like firearms are not legal for everyone, there are still T-shirts featuring gun logos or images readily available. Incorporating the Bitcoin logo on merchandise can contribute to greater outreach and help in spreading awareness about Bitcoin. This exposure can attract the attention of new individuals who may become curious about the logo and subsequently develop an interest in Bitcoin. Ultimately, it creates a mutually beneficial situation for all parties involved.

Indeed, it’s a great initiative for an influencer to promote bitcoin awareness to the public knowing that bitcoin is not well acknowledged in your country. However, that will also put his life into danger knowing the public will know eventually that he’s into bitcoin and might have probably huge amount of bitcoin hodlings in his own account. I just hope that he should be more careful and be more responsible on managing his investment since people are now eyeing on him because of his bitcoin wealth.
