[Collection Thread] Series and films in which Bitcoin (or Altcoins) appear

[silent2]

I didn’t even think about the fact that Bitcoin may sound like episodes in movies, I’ll even take my free time and see them, I’m interested. This once again underlines its popularity! So this still hides the future.

Bitcoin are  mentioned a few times in the national geographic mini serie Valley of the boom.
The serie are about some of the pioneers of the internet in the 90s and some of them now also own bitcoins.

You can watch the series for free on National Geographic homepage.

I don't know any TV series or movies that mention bitcoin, but I was very interested to see your selection. If I see any mention of him anywhere, I'll let you know. It's very cool that the spread of bitcoin goes even through TV series and movies.

Great, I did not know that the topic of cryptocurrency and bitcoin is touched upon in the film industry. I think this will have a positive impact on its spread and increase popularity among a variety of people.

Wow, I've never seen a single mention in a movie or a song. This is very interesting, and perhaps I will look at something from the list presented to see this mention of bitcoin, especially since there are a lot of such works.

I think I know what I'm going to do with the wind today. I am very interested in the topic of mentioning bitcoin in movies and TV series, and this topic came to me at an opportune moment.

Can you provide a video preview of the movie where Bitcoin is mentioned so that I can add it to the list?

[hxtop]

It is a very important issue that bitcoin is visible in this area as it is in many areas. Of course, it is also very important to have a good representation in the subject.

[jupppo]

Yeh, I've seen a lot of fims from this list. Most of all I like Billiards and Startup. And I observed that all charecters used bitcoin for illegal things. I think that it would be much better to change this view.

I found this full episode of crypto currency in John Oliver show from marts 2018 really funny.


Cryptocurrencies: Last Week Tonight with John Oliver (HBO)

Digital currencies are generating a lot of excitement. John Oliver enlists Keegan-Michael Key to get potential investors equally excited about the concept of caution.

[thankyoulord]

how did you sit down to get all these movies. well its a good thing, shows bitcoin is being promoted indirectly in movies. I am sure there are other movies which you didnt list out here where bitcoin appeared.

I recently watched a film from marvel " ant Man and wasp." It also mentioned cryptocurrency. Nothing special, just in a conversation between people, one of them mentioned cryptocurrency. I don't remember what minute it was.

Bitcoin with the accompanying blockchain technology is considered as one of the appropriate technological inventions for the film, because it has a tremendous impact on various industries.
Entering the film can attract many interested people to study, deepen and be involved in bitcoin trading and investment, because film is a means of promotion that has a great effect on viewers.

Bitcoin were also mentioned in the series Designated Survivor.

A little bit of the Designated Survivor: The United States Capitol was bombed and killed every person inside it, including the POTUS. *fast forward* The mastermind behind the bombing bought computers via Bitcoin..

          

In this part of the show (Season 2, Episode 1, around 21:30), it shows that transacting with Bitcoin is peer-to-peer and that can be anonymous.

Every time Bitcoin is mentioned on a movie or TV Show, it will bring some awareness regarding cryptocurrency, even if only one person go online to search what's all this about.

One of the latest Blockbuster movies where mentioned is made about Bitcoin is "Goosebumps 2: Haunted Halloween" - They enter a old haunted house and they find a treasure chest. It highlights some misconceptions of virtual money and how it is mined and the nerds using it.  

The more we get the public to see and hear about the technology, the higher the adoption will grow in the future. They can call it Nerd money, but the nerds will rule the world.

It would be helpful if you could find out which season and which episode it was. Otherwise I can not add it to the list.


I added three new entries:

Goosebumps 2: Haunted Halloween (2018)
Shameless (US) # Season 9 # Episode 9
Designated Survior # Season 2 # Episode 1

Thank you for your contributions to expand the collection.

You also forgot to mention "Dope". This 2015 American crime comedy-drama featured Bitcoin front and center, as a group of high school friends become entangled in a mess of crimes. They find themselves in possession of molly they must get rid of, and begin doing so through the darknet website. The film, executive produced by Pharrell Williams, is the only mainstream film featuring Bitcoin as a focal point of the plotline.

I think having bitcoin appear in movies and seires is a good thing in spreading bitcoin to the world. There are so many people who would rather spend hours watching movies but will never spend two minutes reading a book or reading anything online. Bitcoin could be chipped into movies and series and some little things can be discussed about it. It may not be much but should be able to send a good educative message that will make one want to search the internet for more information. Bitcoin appearing in all the movies and series you listed is good and am sure there are a whole lot of others you may have omitted. we should have more movies with bitcoin being used as a means of transaction in the movie. we just have to use all means available in spreading the word about bitcoin to the world even with movies.
