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

[nullama]

In The Simpsons, episode 18 of season 32 titled “Burguer Kings”, we can see an interesting quick visual joke on the bottom of the screen: the price of Bitcoin will be “infinite”. Will this new Simpsons prediction be as accurate as the others?

Nice catch. Here it is:



This is similar to what Saylor said: "It's going up forever, Laura."

It basically makes sense. Bitcoin is a scarce and valuable asset, priced in fiat, which loses purchasing power over time. Double whammy.

Cryptocurrencies are mentioned in Treadstone, episode 3.

Over the past month,
a group within North Korea

has raised funds
to purchase the launch codes.

They were acting
without government sanction.

General Kwon found out
and hacked their funds...

500 million in cryptocurrency.

He killed the sale,
so they killed him.

The encryption key
to access those funds

is on this flash drive.

"It's going up forever, Laura. Forever."
I love this sentence so much   It's one of my favorite moments in Bitcoin's history I think.

For those of you who don't know it, here is the video:

Its cool when bitcoin is in the media and it is on popular culture like the Simpsons especially.
Hopefulky it will happy even more now.

Even I thought to say that buddy. Its really healthy for bitcoin. If it is telecasting in the media channels soon bitcoin will be popular around the all the people even layman will comes to know about bitcoin.

You think Bitcoin is healthy. Overnight people of Europe will develop around Bitcoin. But if Bitcoin can be the leader, surely it can be the organization of people.

Take The Night 2022 film: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt10680838/

A fake kidnapping goes wrong in this trailer for Take The Night, an upcoming crime thriller movie starring Seth McTigue, Roy Huang, Brennan Keel Cook, Sam Li, Shomari Love, Antonio Aaron, and Grace Serrano.

Haven't watched the actual film yet but just watched the trailer and bitcoin is mentioned/shown at 1:04: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4O7jMmMwe9c

The plot seems to heavily involve bitcoin - or at least crypto - according to this review (though watch out for spoilers):

A « documentary » (commissioned by its subject  ) about Brian Armstrong and Coinbase is out:

Jexi, 2019 comedy.

The plot follows a self-aware smartphone that becomes emotionally attached to its socially awkward owner.

There are a bunch of "Bitcoin miners" in his room. I think they were just GPUs though, but anyway, Bitcoin was mentioned.

I just spotted Bitcoin in the Google series Hacking Google: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aOGFY1R4QQ4

I've only watched the 1st episode so far but I will watch the others and update this post with the timecodes if Bitcoin is mentioned.

- EP000: Operation Aurora - at 17:56
- EP001: Threat Analysis Group - at 8:13, 8:36, 8:50
(In these 2 episodes, they just show the WannaCry malware site and so you can see a Bitcoin logo and address on it, that's it)
- EP002: Detection and response - Cryptocurrency is mentioned at 5:37

[Geremia]

Is there any feature-length documentary on Bankman-Fried and FTX? https://youtu.be/20BEJouWBgY (~½h) is the closest I've seen.

I have not seen it but The Simpsons, S31E13, "Frinkcoin", mentions crypto and Bitcoin a lot in its plot: Satoshi even makes an appearance in it!

NFT and Crypto are mentioned at 2:16 in the movie Glass Onion on Netflix.

[franky1]

in Tulsa king series 1 episode 7 - 28:48

sylvester stallone said "do you buy bitcoin?"
martin starr(fame of tvshow: silicon valley) replied "no i steal from other people who buy bitcoin"

[Remsjack]

In the movie "You People" (Netflix), the character played by Eddy Murphy mentions Bitcoin at around 58:20 --> "Do you have like some dream Bitcoin, or some dream 401k?"

Blockbuster S01E10, Netflix series:

"I hear the Internet might go done, Percy aren't you worried about your Bitcoin?
- Baby girl I converted it to Kohl's cash..." 

[Remsjack]

In 'Extrapolations' S01E06 (Apple series), 'blockchain' is mentioned at 8:06 and 33:18, and crypto at 14:28 and 41:02. In this episode, which is set in 2066, people use a cryptocurrency; they earn 'units' (not very original if you ask me but ok) that go into their 'crypto wallet'.

Interesting how science-fiction is slowly adopting cryptocurrencies in the background of its stories. About time - still a bit clumsy though.

[Mate2237]

Upon all the movies that I watched, I have not heard any actor or actress made mention of bitcoin or have I seen any sign of bitcoin in a movie until today in a movie title "Sabinus". When the main actor met a wizard to do something for him and the wizard asked the boy to pay him with bitcoin, and the boy sent him the bitcoin and the wizard game him a magic leave. So I was astonished by hearing bitcoin in a movie in my first time.

[Kryptowerk]

I got something to add to the list:

Netflix series: Beef

Quite early on, one of the main characters is accessing his brother's phone and sees he invested in some crypto including Bitcoin.
SPOILER:
He borrows money (around $20k) and invests it all in Bitcoin. Later on we see BTC dropping by more than 50% and our main guy losing most of his investment.
SPOILER END

In The Simpsons, episode 18 of season 32 titled “Burguer Kings”, we can see an interesting quick visual joke on the bottom of the screen: the price of Bitcoin will be “infinite”. Will this new Simpsons prediction be as accurate as the others?

Even though over half a year old already, that's an amazing find - new to me. Love it.

Bitcoin was mentioned in the series Ray Donovan -S7E9

Wait, wait--
help me out here.

Gimme something
to convince him.

How much do we lose, uh,
convertin' it to cash?

Will you take Bitcoin?

What the fuck is that?

[small laugh]
You want old-fashioned cash

and you want to keep
this deal quiet,

I can get you 65,
75 million.

- Minus my 20 percent.
- Whoa!

That's a big haircut,
Frankie.

You don't like it,
put your shit on eBay.
