The Most Impossible Thing in "MI: Rogue Nation"

There’s a scene in “Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation” that seems entirely plausible. The bad guy is transferring a huge amount of money, something like $1 billion. He has a hand-held device and clicks the button. We see a progress bar. The operation takes only a few seconds and then there is a ding. Done! Wow, impressive.

Has no direct Bitcoin reference, just the usual "better than banks" thesis that has been covered quite extensively already in the Bitcoin-sphere.

Not sure why it was written, perhaps to get traffic? Don't bother...

This reminds me of a TV series which is cancelled now and only ran for the 1 series which is a shame as it was really good!
Almost Human it was called and there was numerous references to Bitcoin in there.

At one point the copper gave a homeless man some Bitcoin simply by tapping his USB type dongle against the other guys, great show, would recommend it.

Haha, that happens a lot in movies and TV!

Immediate, anonymous and untraceable transactions of millions of dollars through the banking system are a reality.

It's funny when they put the money jumping from account to account, like all around the world.
