mr.-robot-key-artJust recently the USA network intentionally leaked the first episode of Mr. Robot created by Sam Esmail and starring Christian Slater as an insurrectionary anarchist. Slater, who joins a group of hacktivists, is on a mission throughout the show to end debt by attacking a corporate entity called E Corp. The first episode revealed quite a bit of Bitcoin references and a Bitcoin ATM truck, signs and a few more subtle reminders that the cryptocurrency exists within the storyline.

In Mr. Robot’s recent show, which has many Bitcoin allusions throughout details the banking environment is crumbling all around society. Banks have serious troubles as many citizens debts and accounts are inoperable. The banks also suffer from ransomware attacks. The legacy institutions in Mr. Robot’s world are forced to pay a significant ransom with the malware infesting the financial infrastructure. USA networks hacktivist show has millions of fans worldwide and is sure to interest people who have never even heard of Bitcoin and cryptocurrency before.

They all have to find a way to leverage Bitcoin one way or the other. The actually do not have much choice because Bitcoin is here to stay.
It's like rebranding all the bitcoin best parts into the word blockchain for banks.
