Crypto.com Blows $70M on AI.com Because Apparently Money Is Just Confetti Now

Oh great, Crypto.com is at it again — throwing around stupid amounts of cash like a drunken crypto bro at a 2017 ICO party. This time? Those geniuses decided that dropping a mind-melting $70 million on the AI.com domain was a “strategic move” before the goddamn Super Bowl. Because nothing says sound business logic like lighting piles of money on fire to buy a two-letter website that half the internet will just type wrong anyway.

Apparently, this shiny new toy is supposed to make Crypto.com look futuristic and “AI-ready.” Yeah, because when I think of cutting-edge artificial intelligence, I definitely think of crypto exchanges that can’t go 12 months without a PR faceplant. They’re already plastering ads on everything from sports arenas to the Super Bowl, so hey — why not drop another mountain of cash on a domain name that screams “we’re desperate for relevance”?

The company’s marketing goons are calling it a “bold brand play” and acting like they just split the atom. What they’ve really done is pay the GDP of a small country for two bloody letters that probably redirect to another overpriced landing page about digital coins and “the future of finance.” Jesus wept.

Meanwhile, the rest of us are over here wondering if the next crypto “innovation” will be them renaming oxygen to “CryptoAir” and selling it by the breath. I swear, if stupidity were currency, these clowns could buy the entire damn internet.

Reminds me of that time I accidentally deleted the company website just to prove a point about backups — cost zero dollars, achieved more enlightenment. Same energy, fewer zeros.
