Matt Damon has become an online punching bag in the wake of cryptocurrency's nosedive.
Back in October 2021, Matt was featured in a commercial for crypto.com that hyped cryptocurrency. In it, he uttered the now-famous line, "Fortune Favors the Brave."

At the time of the commercial's first airing, the crypto market was doing rather well, but that is no longer the case. TMZ points out that Bitcoin — the leader in cryptocurrency — has lost 50% of its value over the last six months, and other coins have lost 90% of their value.
Amid the collapse, Twitter users are torching Matt and other spokesmen for seemingly endorsing crypto, but the critics are also not taking any responsibly for making the decision to invest in the market — sometimes it's easier to find a scapegoat.
"Matt Damon was in Oceans 11, 12, 13. You crypto guys just fell victim to his latest heist," one person wrote. Another tweeted, "I'm pretty sure Matt Damon and Larry David weren't paid in crypto when they sold this crypto scam to gullible people. Just beyond gross."
One user made reference to one of the Oscar winner's past films, writing, "Just buying one more zoo and then I'll stop taking my financial advice from Matt Damon."

While the pile-on occurred, Jimmy Kimmel came to his frenemy's aid.
"Matt Damon did that commercial for FREE in exchange for a huge donation to http://water.org and now everyone hates him," Jimmy wrote.
