‘Everything is fine’: Coinbase mocks UK financial system in new video
Main Idea
Coinbase released a satirical video criticizing the UK's financial system, highlighting issues like inflation and poverty, while data shows a significant rise in financial vulnerability among UK adults.
Key Points
1. Coinbase's video 'Everything is fine' uses satire to critique the UK's financial system, juxtaposing claims of prosperity with scenes of economic hardship.
2. 44% of UK adults (20.3 million people) are now financially vulnerable, a 16% increase since 2022, driven by unstable incomes, limited savings, and high debt loads.
3. Food insecurity has worsened, with food bank use rising from 11% to 15%, and many relying on payday loans or short-term credit for basic needs.
4. Low-income families with no savings and those surviving entirely on credit have seen the fastest growth in financial vulnerability (5% and 12% increases, respectively).
5. Analysts at OMFIF argue the UK has wasted its early-mover advantage in financial policy, falling behind other nations like the US.
Description
Coinbase’s satirical “Everything is fine” video takes aim at Britain’s struggling economy as new data shows nearly half of UK adults are financially vulnerable.
