Thank you for your contribution. Im so glad i wasn’t a pussy after all when FTX and Crypto dot com are inevitably going bankrupt..
Had the idea to cut this together after seeing u/vpuetf’s thread.
Always hated that ad. Now it’s better.
It’s like when people said, “I got it off of pinterest.” That is not specific. Or, “It’s on the internet.”
This commercial was like saying, “buy currency, at-large.” Of course this is worse than that because it is cryptocurrency but one could substitute something so general it is just odd. Buy nitrogen.
MAAAAAAT DAMONNNNNN
I wonder how something like this could even happen today. Then I see the CEO donated over a 100M to democrats.
This is perfection, well played
There is a moment…
it amazes me that the most fundamental and basic understanding of why this is happening is still lost on people.
crypto: your money goes in and you are assigned a claim to something that lacks any intrinsic value, a bunch of people take some/all of the money you put in. nothing else happens.
any actual investment into any institution: the institution spends money to produce a thing of value. that thing is then sold for a markup to what they spent. wealth is generated. investors get a piece.
yet, people are still either throwing money at crypto, or at the very least, not immediately rushing for the door. SBF literally described the magic money box that is all of crypto.
Aw shit that’s funny
THIS.IS.BLOODY.BRILLIANT.
I’m snort-laughing. Thanks for the laugh, u/stulogic !
I’m 35 years old and I still have a hard time wrapping my head around what it even is, and why it has value.
I just figure it’s not really anything of substance, just more bullshit to part people from their money.
đđđ
History is also filled with fuck-ups.
Too soon.
ironically, pliny the elder said “fortune favors the brave” then led his team to death in mt vesuvius eruption lmao
His ad reminded me of the Tom Selleck Reverse Mortage scam they run on old people.

I wonder how much he was paid to be in this ad. end of day, he’s an actor, not investor, so don’t blame matt Damon for the bad ad. blame the company who hired him.
Crypto bad
Upvote pls
That original ad is so telling. It’s not about why cryptocurrency is good or why its a good investment. It’s 100% just a play for peoples fear of missing out.
“The two simple words whispered by the intrepid since the time of the Romans â *caveat emptor*.”
Dutch tulip craze on meth.
The bagpipes at the end. Fucking great
The ad is based entirely on survivor bias. Most “intrepid explorers” ended up dying, including James Cook who was killed by angry Hawaiians.
It’s tough to make anything funnier than the original. Every time I think about him going “Fortune favors the brave!” I pee a little.
This is sick đ
âFortune favors the boldâ was said by a man who literally died horribly after saying the phrase
Crypto as a technology is great. The problem lies in the people that run the show currently. They just canât be trusted.
This is why you stick to BTC only. Any other crypto is or will become a scam because it was built in a way to give power and influence more to one person or group than others. The only way crypto works is if it’s 100% decentralized and fair. BTC is the ONLY one that meets that requirement.

Matt Damon…
I donât understand whatâs going onâŚ. Whatâs happening with this crypto shit?
This is only the beginning of the crypto bubble bursting. It’ll be known as the 2023 Cryptonite Implosion.
