What's up with the "Do Not Buy Bitcoin" ads?

[JimDowJones]

Ive noticed "Do Not Buy Bitcoin" ads on different tech sites and bitcoin news conglomerates.

Whats going on with this? Has anyone else noticed these ads?

Is this some kind of bitcoin reverse psychology experiment? Or, is someone really using all that money to fud bitcoin?

I think it would be really interesting to get to the bottom of this and find out who is really behind it all.

This reddit page claims the adverts lead to a video which is selling subscription to financial advice for $39.

It wants us to buy bullshit advice for $39 on the right timing to get into or out of various investments, like the dot.com bust, or Gold and so on. Bitcoin sounds like a much better investment.

The word 'Bitcoin' is probably a variable that changes depending on the search terms used etc.

I bet there are ones that are exactly the same but instead of "Do not buy Bitcoin" it'll say, "Do not buy Stocks".

As has already been pointed out, it's clickbait set to target people who are interested in investments of various kinds.
