I don't watch much TV on the TV itself nowadays, so I don't know if anyone has been talking about this ad or not:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lbvl60_CZl8

"What a load of bullshit", I found myself saying aloud after witnessing that for the first time.  How can it be working for everyone when so many people in the world are unbanked?  And how much of the wording in that was deliberately chosen to mirror the kinds of things we say about Bitcoin?  It feels very much like a pre-emptive first strike on their part, possibly demonstrating some insecurities about the threat their business model now faces.

Anyone else get the sense they had crypto in mind when they wrote the script for it?
Yeah i closed the video as soon as they said its more than a credit card, first of all i used to use it before when i went on a trip and every time the transaction either don't go or they bug out that is why no one is using it anymore, and i think that is why they are advertising if they were smart enough they would start accepting or using crypto and that might get some people to be interested in using their system.
