They have a very mainstream overall audience.That's why they presented Bitcoin in such a generic kind of light. They oversimplify it because the oversimplified information is all that the general public (who are watching the show) know about. Exposure is fine, but not all publicity is good publicity IMO.

Go to article on Bitcoinist (http://bitcoinist.com/big-bang-theory-bitcoins-mainstream-perception/) It would be interesting to get an update about the viewership of this episode. That said, Bitcoin has moved beyond the used-by-nerds stage. This kind of portrayal may not be that good for Bitcoin's image amongst ordinary people.

Before there was a profession hunters. Perhaps someday there will be a profession hunters of the lost coins. I heard somewhere that at the moment already lost about 4 million coins. Imagine what is the amount? Who knows what is more profitable to look for gold or bitcoins.
