WHERE WERE THE CRYPTO ADS? 🤔
BREAKING: Super Bowl’s global reach is not enough for crypto ads — Kraken exec
Remember back in 2022 when the Super Bowl featured ads from FTX, Coinbase and Crypto.com?
Well times have well & truly changed.
Just like in 2023, last nights Super Bowl featured exactly 0 crypto focused ads.
So what’s going on?
Contrary to what most Americans will have you think, the Super Bowl just doesn’t have that big of a global reach.
Here’s why Kraken decided against taking out a Super Bowl ad this year:
"The Super Bowl is a very U.S. centric event, and the next wave of crypto users will come from all around the world, not just the United States,"
It sounds like exchanges are spending their marketing budgets more wisely.🤓
As Kraken notes, they are focusing on education and awareness over hype and FOMO.
"If the last wave of crypto marketing was all about hype and FOMO (Fear of Missing Out), this current wave has to be rooted in education and awareness for the substance and true value proposition of crypto as a movement that will bring financial freedom and inclusion."
But some were still surprised that none of the new ETF issuers advertised during the Super Bowl.
ETF analyst Eric Balchunas put it perfectly with this tweet:
🤣🤣🤣
Don’t forget, Bitcoin is a global asset after all… 🌎
TOGETHER WITH ANIMUS 👾
Over the past year, the crypto market has been on fire. 🔥
12-months ago, Bitcoin was trading at $20,000 and Ethereum was trading at $1,500.
But where will prices go now?
Will there be a sell-off before the Bitcoin halving?
Or will there be a move up in anticipation?
Truth is - timing the market is extremely difficult.
But what if we could use the power of A.I to help us.

DON’T TRADE. HODL 💪
Bitcoin is impossible to trade.
So don’t trade it. Buy it, and hold it.
That’s the latest message out from Fred Krueger.
For those of you who don’t know Fred Krueger, here’s a quick rundown on some of his credentials:
Worked on Wall Street during the early 80’s to late 90’s
PHD in Math from Stanford
10 successful entrepreneurial exits from companies he created
Here’s Fred’s reasoning for why Bitcoin is “impossible” to trade:
“The market will feel weak, and then get a bid out of nowhere. It will feel strong and then it will reverse and crush you. If you are trying to trade it, chances are you will completely fail.”
The simple solution? 🤷♂️
Never trade it.
Buy it.
Hold it.
It really is that simple.
However, there IS one exception to this rule…
“But never, ever sell. Don’t do that unless its really taking generational cash off the table. You won’t see something this good for a very long time.”
In case you’re still not convinced, pay close attention to this next part.
A while ago there was a study on the best performing stock accounts.
Who do you think came out on top?
Spoiler alert, it wasn’t traders.
It was dead people… 😱
Keep it simple this bull run. 🐂
Don’t over complicate things.
There will be draw downs along the way but the proven strategy is to just buy and hold. 😎
NO ONE WANTS TO SELL 📈
Today we’ve got a super interesting chart for you. (The numbers are insane)
We’ll be taking a look at the Bitcoin HODL Waves.
Each coloured band shows the percentage of Bitcoin that last moved within that time period.
The yellow age band represents coins last moved between 6 and 12 months.
As the colours get darker, the age band gets older (purple being the oldest, representing coins last moved 10+ years ago.)
Although it’s impossible to confirm, a large portion of the 10+ year age bracket is likely lost forever. 😢
Here’s the current breakdown:
6m - 12m: 10.01%
1y - 2y: 12.53%
2y - 3y: 12.75%
3y - 5y: 12.46%
5y - 7y: 10.60%
7y - 10y: 4.89%
>10y: 16.04%
In total, 79.28% of the Bitcoin supply has not moved in over 6 months… 😱
That is absolutely insane when you think about it.
Popular crypto analyst Dylan LeClair put it best:
“Inelastic supply meets a wall of demand.”
With the Bitcoin ETFs buying as much Bitcoin as they currently are, things are about to get really crazy…
Long-term holders aren’t letting go of their Bitcoin yet. 😎
