The Superbowl Ad was a great play by Coinbase

Edit: Here is the link from the QR code for free BTC/giveaway for those who missed it https://drops.coinbase.com/?qr

Say what you want about Coinbase, but I think their ad in the Superbowl was genius.

Standard advertisements only capture the viewer's attention for a short time before moving on because it's too much effort to google it or enter the website URL when you just want to watch the game, but the ad by Coinbase was not only immersive but also extremely cheap to produce.

I'm sure many people watching the game from their homes got their first look into crypto when they scanned the QR code out of curiosity and signed up for Coinbase because who wouldn't want a free $15. This is a huge achievement for Coinbase and the crypto community as a whole because it'll make digital assets more mainstream by appealing to the general public while bringing in more users for Coinbase.

I'm really hoping they improve their customer service and "sudden crashes" with all this extra revenue.
