“# NFT project blankets Texas capital city in pro-crypto billboards <\/strong>”<\/p>\n

The founder of a website guiding readers through the digital asset market started a campaign in Austin to increase awareness of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Speaking to Cointelegraph, marketcap.guide founder Sam Feldman said he had deployed more than 100 billboards around the Texas capital city since July, each sharing a different message on Bitcoin (BTC), nonfungible tokens and other aspects of the crypto space. Though the ads are aimed at encouraging adoption, funding for many of them came from tokenizing drone photos of the billboards and selling the resultant NFT.<\/p>\n

The project claims to have spent more than $624,000 on the existing billboards before fully launching sales of the NFTs on Solana (SOL). According to Feldman, he plans to use 70% of the revenue from sales \u2014 bids are as high as $450 at the time of publication \u2014 to fund future billboards, with the remainder going to his team.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s not just that we\u2019re selling people a picture of a billboard,\u201d said Feldman. \u201cWe\u2019re asking people to believe in this idea of a self-fulfilling prophecy of billboards around the world where the more people that believe in it, the more it happ<\/a>ens and happens and the more awareness spreads.\u201d<\/p>\n

Austin is already home to a number of crypto and blockchain firms as well as tech companies like Tesla. With so many billboards placed around the city over the last seven months, many residents have taken notice, with mixed reactions. <\/p>\n

\u201cNobody has to put up billboards saying “the stock market is real” or “gold is real” or “real estate is real” because they\u2019re, well, obviously real and have intrinsic value,\u201d said<\/a> Reddit<\/a>or jimatx. \u201cIf you have to buy billboards to convince people your asset is real then maybe it ain\u2019t so real.\u201d<\/p>\n
