Crypto.com Is Getting Roasted for an Absurdly Self-Important Ad Starring Matt Damon

A new ad for a website that features Matt Damon is getting roasted for his portrayal of cryptocurrencies.

The ad, with the audacious title "Fortune Favors the Brave," has racked up more than 11 million views on the official channel of the website since it was first aired in October. It features the star speaking over an intense, action-movie type soundtrack and telling viewers that the same type of investors that explorers like the Wright brothers and mountaineers used are the same type of investors that are using the digital currency.

The video claims that history is full of almosts. Those who almost achieved. It proved to be too much for them. There are others. The ones who commit and embrace the moment.

When the logo of the coin appears at the end of the video, viewers are to understand that they should invest their hard-earned cash and resources into the token of their choice.
