Matt Damon has been blasted online after appearing in a “cringe-worthy” Crypto.com commercial that analogizes buying cryptocurrency to some of history’s greatest achievements. The advert originally aired in October, but is currently going viral as critics torch its pretentious message.

The views are completely insane,” said Ryan Serhant, the skypad’s listing broker and reality TV star. The full-floor skypad stretches from a breakfast bar overlooking Central Park to great rooms and…
When Quadriga co-founder Gerry Cotten died at 30, millions in crypto currency disappeared with him. But some investors wonder if he actually did die. Gerald Cotten was too good to be true. He had thick sweeps of strawberry-blond hair, boyish enthusiasm and the kind of sunny disposition that made people want to be around him. When the 30-year-old died — unexpectedly and mysteriously — in 2018, some $250 million worth of Canadian cash and cryptocurrency also went missing. Around 75,000 customers of Cotten’s QuadrigaCX crypto exchange suddenly lost fortunes they had earmarked for everything from tuition to retirement funds, life savings…
