In a bold move during the NBA Playoffs, cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase unveiled a striking advertisement that takes direct aim at the U.S. Federal Reserve’s monetary policies. The ad, titled “The future of money can’t be printed,” emphasizes the contrast between traditional fiat currency and decentralized digital assets like Bitcoin.
The 30-second spot features a massive cube constructed entirely of U.S. dollar bills, accompanied by a voiceover stating, “Every day, the Fed prints an average of $465 million. That’s 26,000 shipping containers a year, created out of thin air. Maybe that’s why the dollar loses value over time.”
The ad concludes with the tagline, “The future of money can’t be printed,” positioning Bitcoin and decentralized finance as alternatives to fiat currency systems susceptible to inflation and centralized control.
