Matt Damon is getting dragged for pushing cryptocurrency … and the crypto market crash is fueling the hate.
Folks on social media are trolling the actor for his appearance in a recent advertisement for Crypto.com … the mean Tweets are flying Thursday, as the crypto market loses a whopping $200 BILLION.
Matt’s catching heat for his infamous “Fortune Favors the Brave” commercial for the blockchain-centered technology … which started airing back in October, when the crypto market was humming along.
But, with the market crashing, people are piling on Matt … with many pointing out anyone who bought crypto due to Matt’s ad is now taking a bath.
Here’s what some of Matt’s haters are saying … “Matt Damon was in Oceans 11, 12, 13. You crypto guys just fell victim to his latest heist.” Others are wondering who will play Matt in a movie about the Bitcoin collapse.
Matt’s commercial was for a website where folks could buy different kinds of crypto, including Bitcoin and Ethereum, both of which are crashing.
Larry David and other celebs have been pushing crypto in recent ads … but it seems Matt is the easy target.
In the last 5 days, the largest cryptocurrency — Bitcoin — has lost more than 17% of its value. And, it gets worse … over the last 6 months, Bitcoin has lost more than 50% of its value. Less known coins are getting annihilated … some losing more than 90% of their value.
Tough times.
