Did anyone saw the New Bitcoin Advertisement?

[Lucius]

Coinbase just launched a new marketing campaign on Twitter by dropping a New Bitcoin advert. It is pretty good as it highlights some of the biggest flaws of the US financial system. If you have not watched it then you can view it here. 

I don't know how someone concluded (question for the OP) that this is any kind of advertisement for Bitcoin? I have never heard anyone mention Bitcoin anywhere, or seen a logo for it in that advertisement. Furthermore, it is not about the US financial system flaws, but about the flaws of the entire financial system of the world.

According to the last data I saw, that CEX supports as many as 128 altcoins/tokens, and it doesn't matter to them (like all other CEX) what people buy, it's important that they as a company profit from it. Don't be naive, this is not an advertisement for Bitcoin, nor are they better than any traditional bank.

In the end doesn't it shows Bitcoin as a solution. Please go to Coinbase Twitter handle, it clearly states why this advertisement is relevant for the US. I am quoting it for you!

2/3 of America thinks the financial system is overdue for an overhaul.

It’s time to update the system 🔁

I am suprised none of you guys replying to this thread have questioned the timing of this advertisement. If some one had done some research then most of us would have understood why this advertisement was released and why USDC withdrawal have been halted. On Coinbase.

bitcoin being the meaning of this ad or maybe some other crypto, but pretty sure that is meant for bitcoin maybe.
As a company established in the United States, so as not to directly conflict with the meaning of delivery, but we can interpret that FIAT and banks get bad sentiment in this regard and make people think several times about banks and FIAT through this, people are likely to start doubting and find out what the bankers do with their FIAT.
I think Coinbase is brave enough to do this and I really appreciate it even though their name was brought without involving bitcoin openly.

so you agree even on their twitter it still does not mention bitcoin.. but is about stable coins and fiat

funny part is coinbase is a custodial system.. just like fiat banks

coinbase advert is not saying anything about blockchains and p2p which does not require custodians. instead its advertising its custodial system

[BIT-BENDER]

It’s not just an advert for bitcoin rather it’s an advert that highlights some of the major flaws of the traditional financial system that we had to deal with on an almost everyday level.

The video was point black direct and correct about their illustrations, the banking system is a legal violation of human rights from their delays and their unwarranted charges, crypto-currency is changing all that.

I think it's pretty awesome. And while it is paid by Coinbase, it is obviously not an advertisement of Coinbase but of Bitcoin. Of course, Bitcoin doesn't cease processing transactions all over the world. It doesn't rest. It doesn't have a holiday and can't be shut down. Coinbase, of course, is the opposite.

It is obviously an advertisement of Coinbase.  For a normal viewer who doesn't know Bitcoin won't have a hint about Bitcoin but instead thinks that Coinbase is the new system.  If you watched it, it never give a damned hint about Bitcoin nor blockchain technology. 

I also think it's wise to promote Bitcoin not only by presenting Bitcoin and its revolutionary features but also by making people realize the kind of system they are currently in, particularly emphasizing that they deserve better. The ad is kind of enlightening, showing the why of Bitcoin. Some might find no reason to get into Bitcoin without being presented with how rotten the fiat system is.

It would have been better if it shows how convenient it is to transfer funds through Bitcoin.  Instead, the advertisement put the audience in a guessing mode thinking about what system it is.  A good marketing ploy to research Coinbase and not Bitcoin.

So I think this one is not a Bitcoin advertisement but rather a company called Coinbase advertisement.

It's like a lowkey protest to me more than an advertisement. But, as they're now a big and can be compared to financial institutions in the country, Coinbase should make more of these videos.

Since they have the capacity to make and sponsor such videos, most people that will see that advert will have the idea and will surely agree to what they're saying about the financial flaws and the introduction for bitcoin is gonna given with that highlight.

On the other hand, it's like another competitor having their endorsement of their service that deprives the other competitors.

It should be realized that the ad is bold enough to show the shortcomings of your system, but I really like this ad  Because they immediately attack at the point where this is the actual reality that often happens and is currently being experienced.

I mean it would have been better if they even once mentioned Bitcoin lol. It was a Coinbase ad not a Bitcoin ad. If it was a Bitcoin ad they would have mentioned it. I was waiting at the end for it to say something like Use Bitcoin but it just said Coinbase

Even though in this case there is no mention of bitcoin, I think we all understand where the point is headed, especially when looking at the questions in the advertisements about "Systems", it clearly shows that they lead to decentralization and centralization.
There's no need to mention bitcoin when something this obvious is obvious because we've already got our point and people will also notice even if the word bitcoin isn't in the ad.

Yeah, same here, I was looking for Bitcoin, but it didn't mentioned it, not even once.

But I do like how they attack the old and traditional financial systems here, Lol, and I would say it's true, specially the banks withdrawals and maintaining balance. It's really the point of contention, every month you have to maintain an amount that the banks declared, otherwise they will debit some from your own money.

Anyhow, it's a good ads for Coinbase overall.

Yes, but still though, they could at least mention the alternatives like "crypto" or "Bitcoin", but it's not there. It could be their strategy to just used their name and let people discover what Coinbase is and how they can be as a alternative to the banking system.

So let's see how this ads will affect Coinbase positively or crypto in general.

It their users increases or at least there are new customers in the crypto market then good.

I would say the same things, they should at least mention bitcoin or crypto. but they only mentioned COinbase. it Just like said the financial system and traditional banks are broken but here use my bank and you will find all the solutions here. and Coinbase just acts like Paypal


although The advertising is actually good to watch

[yhiaali3]

It's really exciting, this is a bold move by Coinbase because I've always considered them the spoiled child of the US government, so it's very good that this announcement came from them.

This advertisement reveals the defects of the traditional banking system and the defects of third-party services as well, and this is very important as it is important to clarify the alternative to this failed system, I mean Bitcoin, of course.

Some people are upset with this failed system, but they are used to it, and many of them may not know the alternative, so it is very important for them to know that there is a much better alternative.

I also agree that this advertisement is clearly advertising COINBASE not Bitcoin.

As Bitcoiners we know the concept and messages in the advert are relevant to Bitcoin
but for people who dont know Bitcoin they wont associate the messages with Bitcoin.

Ita a good ad and the messages are strong but a big orange BTC symbol at the end
would have been great to see.

Well, yeah, it is an advertisement of Coinbase. They commissioned it. They paid for it. And Bitcoin wasn't mentioned. But the ad was Coinbase's only because Coinbase is flashed in the end. Without it, without putting the brand, it wouldn't be hinting Coinbase but Bitcoin. It describes Bitcoin more than Coinbase. So if we didn't knew that it was a Coinbase ad, it would have easily be Bitcoin's. The ad wasn't describing a centralized platform, after all. Charging a fee for withdrawing your own money? Coinbase is guilty of it. Manual processes? Again, Coinbase is guilty. So how can it be the new system?

It was at this point in this picture that the attendant said "That's my job"
This advert is a coinbase advert and not a bitcoin advert. Bitcoin system which also is part of the system of altcoins and exchanges is what is promoted here.
Well the banking and fiat system was obviously referred to as archaic.
The funny aspect of the advert is when you would be charged for not having money.
Meanwhile, if it is not bitcoin, it is not bitcoin. Gone should be those days people tag bitcoin as scam because it served as a payment gateway for scammers.
