“Fortune Favors the Brave” is not just a quote in this context. In a commercial made out by Crypto.com, Matt Damon was selected to play in the advertisement which was being marketed aggressively by the website. The commercial used to be played at movie theatres and in all the possible mediums.
Since, Crypto.com started laying-off people, a series of tweets have been flooding in the social media channel that Matt Damon is the reason for the lay-off of the employees.
People’s comments.
In one of the tweets, a user made a metaphorical connection between the rate of the crypto prices and a movie called “Interstellar” which stars Matt Damon. One more user went on to exclaim about bitcoin’s value since the ad has been aired. Though, some of them including Aaron Levie didn’t lay the blame on the actor. Some people thought that Matt Damon’s part in the commercial assured them that the company would not downsize. One of the twitter user went on to question the accountability of investors asking them why did they chose to invest in such a volatile investment place by seeing an actor in a commercial.
Writer’s Report:
Yes, it true that film actors and people in the entertainment world endorse products that they completely don’t believe in. But it is the common man’s ability to decide what is needed for him and what is not. Similarly, blaming an actor for the downsizing of a crypto based company is little obnoxious.
