Google Disses Bitcoin & Crypto in New Video Ad

Watch the full vid here:

In Google's new video ad, they poke a little fun at bitcoin and crypto. They joke about the high cost of mining cryptocurrency, and insinuate it is not real money. They also tease a popular canned response from most crypto advocates that "money is not real," with the cute response of "you're really going to live that lie."

Edit: @not-important made a good point in the comments. The first call he answered was the Nigerian prince scam call, so the correlation is that bitcoin is a scam as such. Thanks for pointing that out.

Overall, this is a lighthearted video ad to promote a new google service to screen callers before you answer your phone. The accusation that consumption of power is a problem with crypto is nothing new, or that we haven't heard before.
