This marketing stunt has been the talk of households. With dads all across the country yelling at the television, “why would they waste so much money on this???,” it has proven to be one of the most successful Super Bowl ads to date. The commercial featured a QR code dancing across the screen for a whole minute long time slot. When viewers scanned the code they were brought to a promotional Coinbase web page which prompted you to create an account in exchange for $15 free Bitcoin. Within seconds, the website had crashed due to the unexpected influx of visitors- over 20 million people scanned the QR code in the minute-long segment. Coinbase spent nearly 14 million dollars on the advertisement, resulting in a 4% stock value increase and adding nearly 2 billion dollars to the market cap.
