Coinbase just shut themselves down

Coinbase just released a floating QR code during commercial time of the Super Bowl. It was fitting for a random 1980’s style science fiction b-roll clip.

I went there and their server was down almost immediately. They basically just DDoS’d themselves. I hope some of you were able to enter the competition. I was locked out completely.

This is hilarious but also shows the power of advertising while providing a glimpse into the future. The mainstream events are now glaringly obvious and cannot be ignored.

Even if we continue down to a winter, adoption is picking up tremendously. Looking forward to seeing the next crypto commercial. Let’s go!

Edit: it was only down about 5 minutes but that doesn’t change anything about welcoming all these newbs with a righteous downed server.
