Haha. Yes, I saw that as well. They wanted her to pay 1M$ in Bitcoins. That's 2188.3270 BTC.

Oh wow that's actually pretty cool especially coming out of the mouth Famke Janssen. Imagine the outrageously powerful cosmic entity Phoenix Force talking about Bitcoin that's bound to turn a few heads Good for Bitcoin!

Bitcoin has been getting mentions on more and more tv shows lately. Most mentions however involve some anonymous illegal payment though.
Not sure if this is the best publicity bitcoin can get, but it sure gets the word out there more! Ultimately i guess any mention is worth something at the current point in time.
Maybe in the close future we will see it being used in shows at a different way, where itis used to avoid the banks and full centralization. Maybe in a prepper documentary or something.

Bitcoin has been mentioned in so many tv series over the last couple of years now. Mostly with a negative touch. I don't see this as something special anymore. I believe we also had one or two treads here somewhere with a list of series where Bitcoin was a topic or mentioned.

The only good one I remembered coming out from a tv drama was when Erlich in Silicon Valley told Richard "Do you know how much the twins are worth in bitcoin? "

Thanks for the links i enjoy it . Bitcoin\alternative coins are always known as a standard payment gateway in black-market by the veto countries like USA,china, rus .. because it is too difficult to control the two peers involved in the payment(sender\receiver) but who care this exactly why me & many other persons like bitcoin for.

Yeah I just watched the whole episode. Blacklist is one of my favourite shows and for Bitcoin to be mentioned on it is very cool. Hopefully it keeps happening.

It's nice that Bitcoin gets mentioned, but it was just for a very short time. I'm sure people that don't know Bitcoin don't even bother to do some research about what this "Bitcoin thing" that they are talking about really is. I would prefer to see them use Bitcoin as that will make people interested and perhaps even make them search for Bitcoin.

Lot of these shows lately push the hacker narrative that these guys can get into a system and manipulate with in seconds and they usually want bitcoin in return. Bloody disturbed bitcoin hackers! Lot of the time they mention bitcoin but never get into what it is or misuse it well pushing a negative narrartive. Either way good to see it mentioned.

As someone coming from the East, I have nearly no idea what Blacklist is, except that I see a commercial of it when I'm channel surfing. It's a good thing though that bitcoin is getting a mention on a TV series, which is a really good publicity for many viewers. Although most of them would just probably ignore what it is but a rare percentage of the viewers will, somehow, take a search on it. Probably.

It's nice seeing BTCitcoin word getting out there recently (again), has been a while on T.V shows (around 5 months ago, there were much more). There's another one that aired couple of weeks ago, "iZombie S02E18 , at run time 10:40 - 10:45". It's their 3rd time mentioning BTCitcoin on their series (IIRC). It says just sign for brain plan, 25 grand a month, we now take BTCitcoin (with a laugh though).
