Bitcoin Billboards Appearing Around Los Angeles
os Angeles residents driving near the area of Robertson and Cadillac might notice a new unusual
advert on the billboard at 2363 S Robertson Blvd.
The text reads in less than professional font: Let’s Make This An International News Story
Help Make The Bitcoin Grow There is then a QR code and a plea for viewers to send “The Bitcoins”
to this address represented by the QR code.
In fact, the billboard on Robertson isn’t the only Bitcoin Billboard to go up in the last two days.
Two days ago, redditor /u/btchappy snapped these photos of the exact same billboard going up in Eagle
Rock, off of Colorado Blvd. This billboard is near metro public transportation as well as a major highway
artery so it definitely gets a lot of views. This might explain the currently 0.3072 Bitcoins sent to
the address thus far.
Money has been sent to the address listed on the billboards. In fact, if you go to Bitcoinbillboards.org
the owners of these signs claim to have put up 30 signs. They claim that they are not seeking to get rich,
and once they re-coop the costs, they will donate excess funds generated to Sean’s Outpost in Pensacola, FL.
