(emph mine)
Looking what just about any two bit shyster crypto "exchange" invests into marketing belies that statement.
As an example: crypto.com blew 700M $ for the naming rights of the former Staples Center.
That's apart from the cash they blow into Formula 1.
While you are right that Bitcoin doesn't have a formal marketing team the industry as such is blowing billions into marketing.
- olalonde 5y agoCan't disagree with that but it's important to draw the distinction between private companies that stand to gain from Bitcoin adoption and Bitcoin itself. Bitcoin does not have a say in how those companies conduct their marketing. It's not Bitcoin's fault if it is sometimes misrepresented.
