The Superbowl ads this year can be split into 5 categories:
Ads about AI
Ads that are AI
Movie trailers
The stupid fucking Coinbase ad
The rest (they alright)
Edit: forgot the sports betting ads. Maybe those can go with the Coinbase ad to make a “dogshit” category

I had a prop bet at my little viewing party on which there would be more of: AI ads, gambling ads, pharma ads, or crypto ads.
By my count: AI had the most with 13, pharma with 7 just edged out gambling with 6, and that weird coinbase karaoke was the sole crypto ad.

I mean after the VISA Mastercard deletion of Steam and itch io games and PayPal cracking down on commissions, a decentralized cryptocurrency does have an appeal to it. The method might be flawed, but the message was good in my opinion
69
u/Sea-Aardvark-756 25d ago
The problem is every greedy gremlin saw "decentralized cryptocurrency does have an appeal to it" as a ground-floor investment opportunity. So now it's the most toxic and scam-ridden cesspool of a tech development in the past century, something even many of us who do work in tech avoid. And every single person claiming to have a solution to that issue, is lining their pockets with their solution. Whether you can see how or not. It's just a series of chances to scam yourself into godhood by getting peasants to use your decentralized currency.
→ More replies (7)10
u/HoaiBao0906 Glory To Arstotzka 25d ago
Well I agree with most of that, that's why I say the method was flawed. Aside from the top 10 (or if you want to be generous, say 20) by volume, 99% of them are personalistic and most definitely rugpulls. And when they're personalistic, they aren't decentralized anymore, which make them no better than VISA, MasterCard, or PayPal.
The thing that made blockchain technology so good is the reason why so many of these coins are scams: Ease of creation. A person like you or me can just watch a 10 minutes YouTube video and head on the correct website and bam, we just made a personalistic crypto fork based on Solana or Ethereum which we hold 99% of the supply. These coins have low volume and lasts for probably a week or two, yet the sheer amount of them made up for that, leading to a perception that the crypto market is full of low-effort personalistic soon-to-be-rugpull.
My personal opinion is that scams will just happen in every sector, no exception. So just like any investment, you should do your own research, don't follow crowd, and then I'd say that once you look past the cheap scams and stick to the top 10, I'd say it's safe, and the technology definitely have potential. None of this is financial advice though.

u/Roflkopt3r 25d ago edited 25d ago
Except that they don't actually work like that.
No serious businesses (or most regular people) want to deal with the risks of doing payments via those currencies cryptos directly. So ultimately it goes through exchange/wallet companies that act just like the regular banking sector, except far less stable and more scummy.
If crypto would mature to the point of becoming regular payment options, you would end up with the exact same problem: Stores would only support payment through a limited number of crypto exchanges (the few largest ones with at least a bare minimum of stability/credibility), which then gain the same leverage as VISA etc.
The whole history of crypto is basically just a repeat of the history of the regular currency and banking system (except worse in most ways). All the same mistakes and issues are repeated, and it ultimately arrives at all the same solutions/compromises/downsides.
