Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion
I won't comment on the selling of Bitcoin as a way to "escape volatility" of the Euro. You already know my opinion on that,
I will just note that the video seems to have been produced for the already converted. It uses the bitcoiner slang "fiat" to refer to ordinary money, for example; that will send frissons down the spine of the faithful, but should be lost on the common folk that the bank aims to (aehm) attract, no?
I was almost expecting it to end with "CCMF!"
I actually agree with you.
I was imagining some Cypriot granny watching this ad on her TV with a disinterested glazed-over expression.
It's slick, but the important thing Neo needs to develop is customer trust, because they want deposits. This seems too slick to inspire confidence - banks are supposed to be boring. Also: any existing Bitcoin users will see no benefit from using Neo, as far as I can tell, so they NEED to be converting those grannies.
Then again, I don't know the public attitude in Cyprus. Maybe people are fed up enough with the banks to deposit at an uninsured and unproven place like this.
Do you think the cypriot granny would like this better ?

That's a terrible commercial.
If I didn't know what Neo was, I'd assume they made rope shears or something.
