Bitcoin Forum

Let's talk about cryptocurrency use in movies. There are a lot of movie heroes that definitely should use bitcoin.

All cyberpunk movie heroes. For example New Rose Hotel.

So what about you? Did ever felt same way while watching some movies? Like: "OMG, dude why don't you use bitcoins? Would solve all you problems. Get payment for you job/stuff in cryptocurrency."

Let's discuss it.

well i hope steven spielberg or other famous movie director will said or talk about bitcoin in their movies.
a damn good promotion for bitcoin if they did that.
Avenger use bitcoin .... hell yeah that will awesome

With or without a bitlicense from New York?

I don't think this would be necessary. Most people already know about bitcoin and don't need a movie to find out about it. What people need is a reason to own and use bitcoin

This one wins the prize, no contest! ;D

I think to promote bitcoin not only in the form of the film, with no advertising, bitcoin will be more and more are using it, now users do not know bitcoin bitcoin most of the ads and lai so, but bitcoin is more widely known through social media such as facebook or twitter, or forums such as kaskus.com or indowebster.com ...  ::)

Hollywood is just a front. The biggest shill of them all. Do you see the amount of product placement in films? TBF or some similar org. would have to pay big to see BTC included in a film, but dont expect to see it in any serious context just yet. It hovers somewhere between the level of a punch line or a prop used by techno-villians, and thats it. Hollywood follows the lead of public opinion...they are servants to groupthink. Thats why they do focus groups and test screenings. All they want to do is appease the masses. If you think it is any different, you have been brainwashed from watching too much TV and need to go read a book.

The greatest barrier really is the audience. People are stupid and do not like to be challenged at the movies. This is why Jennifer Aniston is famous, she is innocuous to the mediocre, queen of the status quo, boring and predictable. I dont think hollywood would allow themselves to risk looking "foolish" by letting a hero touch something that is still of an uncertain future. Bitcoin is still too fringe for consevative tastes of most of the population, and therefore hollywood will never give it any credibility. Hollywood is risk adverse. Once BTC is ubiquitous and used all over, as I believe, THEN hollywood will be all over it, claiming the whole time to be an early adopter who "knew it all along" Go look at a rolling stone magazine from the 90s..."LIMP BIZKIT; The Future of ROCK!!!" ten years later "Fred Durst; Who ever even liked this douche???" what Im saying is; do not expect any sort of honesty, candour, truth or unpoplular ideas from hollywood or any of the entertainment complex for that matter. They have no soul and will never do it. Allk they want is your money, and they will play any angle thety have to to do it. Mostly that means NEVER go against the grain and never admit when you are wrong. Fools get in line and swallow it whole. Enjoy your Family Guy reruns.
