Is that real in ‘The Times’ today? Is that a copy of the actual front page of the newspaper?
Really cool if it is Smiley

It sure is legitimate. The picture OP posted was probably just the unprinted version.

Here's a picture of the actual physical newspaper by @cryptocalze: https://twitter.com/cryptocalzo/status/1080754016198512640

The hash at the bottom of the ad (000000000000000000037e741045a99121918e6ee717108fc77ec40b7419a829) points to block number 554509, which was mined on 19th December 2018 by BTC.com. They very nicely added the message "vw\/ ThanksSatoshi /BTC.COM/mm" to the Coinbase Data: https://bitcointicker.co/block/554509.

I'm waiting for the days when government will bail out the universities for their debts. The ad itself is cool though.
Hahaha, the government should bail out the student's loan first before trying to do anything about the universities' debt.

*sorry for OT

About the ads, yeah BitMEX nailed it. I wonder how much it cost to print ads like that...

As a person that's into internet marketing and marketing in general, this is a perfect example of an advertisement that's so simple yet very effective. Not to mention that while this is an advertisement that's going to benefit BitMEX(and the point of paying for an advertisement is to benefit your business in the first place), at the same time it actually honors bitcoin and Satoshi. I almost never say good things about BitMEX, but at this time, bravo to them.

haha, it is a very curious coincidence that 10 years ago when Satoshi created bitcoin the article that he chose was titled "The Times 03/Jan/2009 Chancellor on brink of second bailout for banks" now 10 years later the situation is starting to go bad with the banks and the article in here is a similar themed one... and yet bitcoin prevails.

Curious is that the main news is again about debt. But this time it is a possibility of a crisis of the universities because of the loans to the students.
