Super Bowl Bitcoin: Jack Dorsey’s Satoshi T-shirt Ad, Elon Musk, RFK Jr Campaign Ad
The lack of official crypto-related ads during the Super Bowl LVIII disappointed crypto enthusiasts. However, Jack Dorsey’s appearance wearing a Satoshi T-shirt managed to catch the attention of the media and the crypto community. Other indirect crypto references included Elon Musk attending the game with his son and a campaign ad by pro-Bitcoin presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
Jack Dorsey Promotes Bitcoin with Satoshi T-shirt
Bitcoin advocate Jack Dorsey, co-founder of Block Inc, was seen at the Super Bowl LVIII game wearing a ‘Satoshi’ T-shirt alongside Jay-Z and Beyoncé. The game ended with the Kansas City Chiefs winning against the San Francisco 49ers in an exciting overtime match.
Scott Melker, host of The Wolf of All Street Podcast, believes that Dorsey wearing a Satoshi T-shirt is essentially a Bitcoin advertisement. He also emphasized the significance of sitting with Beyoncé and Jay-Z, stating that it is a major boost for crypto.
Fox journalist Eleanor Terrett confirmed her earlier report about the absence of crypto ads this year. She expressed surprise at Dorsey’s choice to wear a Satoshi T-shirt at the Super Bowl.
Many other crypto enthusiasts were pleased to see Dorsey endorsing Bitcoin at such a prominent event, especially after the lackluster performance of crypto companies in boosting the market through advertisements.
Elon Musk and Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s Campaign Ad
Elon Musk’s presence at the Super Bowl with his son sparked speculation within the crypto community, particularly among Dogecoin supporters.
A surprising moment came when pro-Bitcoin presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. aired a campaign ad during the Super Bowl. The ad was a direct reference to an ad run by John F. Kennedy in 1960 during his own presidential campaign. RFK Jr. has been vocal in his support for Bitcoin, referring to it as a “currency of freedom.”
Following the airing of the ad, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. took to X to apologize to his family, stating that the American Values Super PAC had created and aired the ad without his approval. He also mentioned that FEC rules prohibit Super PACs from consulting with candidates or their staff.
