This is more of a funny from the outside of Airstrip one thing. It's very telling that they banned this ad that has no violence, vulgar actions or nudity in it, just a mockery of the current situation.

I still don't trust coinbase.

You don't need to, I just find it funny how they didn't say 'it's a scam' with evidence when they banned it, they just banned it to deny the obvious truth being broadcast from the look of it.

I'm not saying it's fake. But there's a distinct lack of beggars with the latest fashions on pulling out their Venmo machines looking for Bitcoin (And that's not the elected ones).

Some fuckery going on our their YT comments as well.

Shows no comments on a vid viewed 100k+times.

Usually if comments are turned off, it says so.

But in this case, YT pretends the comment section is simply blank.

Lack of brown people.

Clearly propaganda

I think this demonstrates how fucked the UK with current leadership WITHOUT illegals.

WITH illegals, just add everything on fire with them trying to rape the kids..

Clearcast reviewed a pre-production script and rough cut for this advert. We considered that it presented cryptocurrency as a potential solution to economic challenges, without sufficient evidence for this claim or any warnings about the potential volatility and risks. We concluded that it did not comply with the BCAP code and advised that we could not approve this approach.

Sounds to me like this could be the actual reason they didn't allow the ad, but it could also be a post hoc rationalization/excuse.

What gets me is that apparently warnings about the risks wouldn't have been enough - they'd also need evidence that cryptocurrency is a potential solution to (national) economic challenges! What evidence would be convincing enough to them? When ads include happy people in them, do they also ask for evidence that the product makes people happy? I'm pretty sure that part of the quote was a CYA excuse.

And this is how democracy dies… to a fabulous musical number.
