\"Bitcoin\"<\/a>Take College Game Day, Bitcoin, and a QR code, put them together and what do you get?\u00a0 $24,000 in the wallet of a poor college student.\u00a0 Wish I had thought of this.<\/p>\n

This is a perfect example of the possibilities of a QR code and the practical benefits.<\/p>\n

For those who don\u2019t watch college football, College Gameday is a live ESPN broadcast from a college campus where typically one of the biggest college football games will be played on that given Saturday.\u00a0 This typically draws huge fan support, and as with every Gameday, most of these student fans bring signs to show off to the camera and the television viewers.<\/p>\n

Well one smart student brought a sign that read simply \u201cHi Mom Send\u201d with a large QR code and Large Bitcoin photo underneath it.\u00a0 To anyone familiar with QR codes they would understand that the student was indicating that they could donate Bitcoins by scanning the QR code (Bitcoins, for those that are unfamiliar, are a private form of e-currency).<\/p>\n

To the amazement of many, likely including the student with the sign, the student received 22 Bitcoins from over 100 people (1 Bitcoin = ~$1,100 FRN\u2019s currently).\u00a0 Totaling ~$24,000.\u00a0 Probably more than this student has made in all his summer jobs put together.\u00a0 A successful College Gameday for one fan, no matter the outcome of the football game.<\/p>\n

This highlights, in a fantastic way, just how powerful a QR code can be.\u00a0 At least 100 people, who also used Botcoins, saw the code, scanned it, and voluntarily donated to this student and received nothing in return.\u00a0 If you are a company selling something, anything, think of the number of transactions you could see just by using a well placed QR code in your advertising campaign.\u00a0 I suspect more people would prefer to receive something in return for their Bitcoins, or even more likely for fear of losing value, their Federal Reserve Notes.<\/p>\n

If you aren\u2019t using QR codes on your physical advertising, you are missing out.\u00a0 This student is a great example of how.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
