The mainstream are still so very determined to convince us all that crypto is a mug's game and we should all stay away from it. They try and scare us into thinking crypto is a scam and we'll lose all our money no matter how careful we are.
They do this while simultaneously imbuing us with the idea that the conventional financial system is a safe bet and is your best friend, a caring guardian even which wouldn't do anything to harm you or your money. Which of course we all know is complete bullshit.
The anti-crypto messaging is everywhere. It crops up in all sorts of places. Take this television commercial for Smarty Mobile, remember this is a mobile phone company owned by 3 UK, which is part of CK Hutchison Holdings Limited Group. They are simply in the business of telecommunications but determined to dissuade people from going anywhere near the cryptosphere. Have a look at one of their 30 second commercials.
(Smarty Mobile TV advert sells mobile phone sim cards and data while encouraging people to stay clear of crypto.)
The anti-crypto message is saturated in the entire advert, it's the focal point even. Yet this company is trying to sell mobile phone data to its customers, talk about alternative messaging.
When I speak of the mainstream of course I am talking about the banks, the corporates, the governments and their myriad agencies. I'm speaking about the mainstream news media and the state controlled education system and the university sector. And sadly this means by default I am talking about huge swathes of the internet.
The mainstream will stop at nothing to convince us little people to stay clear of crypto while at the same time filling their bags and taking a large slice of the pie for themselves, ultimately devouring the entire pie. They would like nothing more than to control the crypto space just as they do with the traditional financial system.
Please avoid giving Smarty Mobile your custom if you can.
Peace!
