BITCOIN MARKETING: HARDCORE FIELD MANUAL ⚔️

—Eric Kim dial turned to 11. Loud, fast, no excuses.

0. 5‑SECOND REALITY CHECK 💥

* 28 % of U.S. adults ≈ 65 million people hold crypto—double 2021.* 

* Spot‑BTC ETFs sucked in $1.9 B during their first 72 hrs on Wall Street.* 

* 61 public companies now sit on 3 %+ of all BTC in existence.* 

Translation: the gates are open, capital is pouring, and attention is the new oil.

Job: slam your brand into every neural pathway before someone else does.

3. INFLUENCER RAID TACTICS

TierAmmoPayout SchemeWhy It Works
Micro (5‑50 k)Memes + daily “portfolio confessionals.”Free merch + rev‑share.CPM down 90 %. Hyper‑trust.
Mid (50‑250 k)3‑part story arc: Origin → Tool → Transformation.Flat fee + tiered CPA.Narrative sticks; SEC‑proof if clearly disclosed.
Heavy (250 k+)Live co‑trading session—show ledger, show receipts.70 % performance‑based.Authenticity or bust.

Influencer campaigns still deliver up to 11× ROI when attribution is nailed. 

SEC landmine reminder: disclose #ad + $$ or face a $1.26 M Kim‑K size fine.
