  • Anyone here tried scaling with crypto ads?
    Curiosity about crypto ads
    So I’ve been noticing more and more chatter about crypto ads lately, and it got me wondering if this is actually a smart way to speed up business growth or just another shiny thing people talk about online. Honestly, I didn’t pay much attention at first because I assumed it was only for crypto companies or blockchain startups. But then I saw a couple of folks in another community mention that regular businesses—like e-commerce shops, apps, and even local services—were experimenting with it. That’s when I started digging around.

    The doubts I had
    At first, I had doubts. I mean, we’ve all seen how regular ads on Google or Facebook work. You set up a campaign, hope it gets seen by the right people, and then tweak forever. But with crypto ads? My first thought was: are these ads even reaching “real” people or just hardcore crypto fans? And if they are mostly crypto enthusiasts, would they even care about businesses outside of that world? That was my biggest hesitation.

    First-hand stories and small tests
    Still, curiosity got the better of me. A buddy of mine runs a small SaaS tool, and he mentioned he put a tiny budget into a crypto ad campaign just to see what happens. His reasoning was that people who follow crypto trends are often early adopters and curious by nature, which could make them open to testing out new products. That got me thinking.

    So, I tried a small test myself. I didn’t go in with a big budget—just enough to see whether traffic would move the needle. The first thing I noticed is that the click-through rates felt different. It wasn’t massive traffic like you’d expect from a big Facebook campaign, but the people who clicked actually stayed longer on my site. That was new for me. Usually, with regular ads, bounce rates are high, but here it seemed like folks were genuinely curious.

    What didn’t work so well
    Of course, not everything was perfect. One challenge I hit was figuring out where to run the ads. There are plenty of networks that say they handle crypto ads, but not all of them looked trustworthy. Some seemed a little too sketchy, and I didn’t want to waste money. I had to dig around and ask in a couple of groups before finding options that felt safer. Another thing I realized is that crypto ads work better when your message taps into that mindset of curiosity and innovation. A bland, generic ad just doesn’t cut it.

    What actually helped
    I wouldn’t say it’s a magic bullet that instantly scales your business, but it definitely opened my eyes. What worked best for me was keeping expectations realistic—using crypto ads more as an experiment alongside my regular ad channels rather than replacing them entirely. The mix helped me spot which audience segments were more willing to engage, and surprisingly, I did pick up a handful of new users I don’t think I would’ve reached otherwise.

    If you’re like me and wondering whether it’s worth testing, I’d say it comes down to your product and whether it appeals to curious or tech-friendly people. That’s where crypto ads really shine. They connect you with audiences who are usually a step ahead in trying out new tools, apps, or services.

    Helpful resource
    For anyone curious to dig deeper, I came across this write-up that breaks down how to scale your business with crypto ads. It gave me a bit more context and confirmed a few things I was already noticing in my own test.

    Wrapping up
    Anyway, that’s been my little experiment. I’m not saying crypto ads are the holy grail of marketing, but they do seem like an interesting piece of the puzzle if you’re looking to reach a different kind of audience. I’d love to hear if anyone else here has tried them and what your experience was like. Did you see solid results, or was it just a money sink?
