Not the only victories
Despite his victory, Drake ended the week with financial losses. All this is due to not very successful six-digit rates on cryptocurrency through the Stake site. However, this is not the first story, because his followers on Instagram have often witnessed his million-dollar bets through this service.
Advantageous offers from Coinbase and FTX
But it wasn’t just Drake who made a profit that day. On Sunday night, the Coinbase website began a promotion offering free bitcoins for $ 15 to everyone who signed up for the service. This suggestion was so popular that the Coinbase website briefly went down. Another digital resource that held promotions that evening was FTX. Then FTX, one of the leading cryptocurrency exchanges, announced a competition to receive hundreds of thousands of dollars in bitcoins due to its Twitter link to the Super Bowl commercial.
