Unemployment soars as matt damon lays off 260 crypto.com employees
Read Time:1 Minute
-Cryptocurrency exchange website Crypto.com is set to lay off 260 employees, as part of a larger downsizing wave hitting crypto exchanges.
-Some people online are putting the blame squarely on its biggest spokesperson: Matt Damon.
-The flurry of commentary commencing on Twitter Monday surrounding the Good Will Hunting star is mostly tongue-in-cheek.
-Damon was famously a spokesperson for the website in a highly-publicized commercial, which you may have seen playing at movie theaters beginning fall of last year.
-One Twitter user quickly made a metaphorical connection between the rate at which crypto prices are currently plummeting and the speed at which Matthew McConaughey slid down a glacier on an icy planet after being pushed off of a cliff by Damons character in Interstellar.
-One writer laid out exactly how much Bitcoin has become devalued today compared to when the commercial first aired, which is quite a bit.
-Aaron Levie who, according to his biography is the CEO of cloud-based software company Box wasnt so quick to lay the blame on Damon.
-Another Twitter user said of the companys downsizing, I was assured by Matt Damon that such a thing would not happen.
-It was one commentators opinion that perhaps it wasnt a good idea to listen to Damons investment advice in the first place.
-With Damon and other celebrities already having a wealth of money to fall back on, one Twitter user questioned why they chose to endorse such a volatile investment in the first place, seemingly pitching it to the common man.
