I just rewatched the 2017 movie Molly's Game based on the life of Molly Bloom last night (I think it's supposed to be set in 2014)... There's absolutely no mention of any crypto currencies, just poker players and mobsters carrying around backpacks full of cash.

The movie is probably one of the last of its kind where Bitcoin is NOT mentioned as a plot device.

Check it out - it's a very good movie.

At 9:36 in Billions S05E08 - but you really have to listen carefully because it's during a speech in the background. The real Mike Novogratz, playing himself in the show, talks about the Bail Project and says: "... if you want do dig deeper, you can pay in Bitcoin or dollars".

I realize now that it is a real project and that you can really pay with Bitcoin.

This is the only post I haven't added yet because I couldn't find enough information on it. Do you have a film clip or a film description somewhere that shows Bitcoin or cryptocurrencies? Would be cool, then I would also add it to the list.

I don't know if this has been mentioned before so I will just delete this if it's already mentioned. It's a small mention though. In one of the episode in the TV series Ozark, Marty. Byrde's son Jonah is trying to copy what his father does which is money laundering, he says that we was using cryptocurrencies and some unknown game items to circulate the money that was given to him because before that, they were trying to escape the cartel that they work for and Jonah has his own side hustle in school, making essays for the bullies.

Oh yeah, I remember! That's in the 3rd season I think... Do you know which episode ?

And in Brooklyn Nine-Nine S08E08, there is a running gag with Peralta investing in all sort of shitcoins and losing money each time. He also buys one or two NFTs.

Only a brief mention in the trailer---and the bitcoin clip is only O.K.
I'll try to find a full copy----it can be watched for free on Amazon Prime Video

I just found a nice one!
In 'The Kominsky Method' on Netflix, S01E01, 18:40, one student says: "I'm gonna cash the check, buy Bitcoin. It's the money of the future."

[Kittygalore]

Of all the TV series listed, I didn't expect Supernatural to be one of them to mention bitcoin or cryptocurrency. In the movies, the Deadpool one is hard to find since it's probably not that shown explicitly but as just some sort of easter egg. This is a nice list, although I can't add any since it's been so long since I've watched a movie.

It's not yet in the list. Do you have further prove? Season and Episode would be great to know.

And in Brooklyn Nine-Nine S08E08, there is a running gag with Peralta investing in all sort of shitcoins and losing money each time. He also buys one or two NFTs.

Thanks, added it to the list. I guess its the first series I know where NFTs are mentioned

Thank you for the submissions. I would like to include them in the list, but if this thread also list such daily shows, then the list quickly becomes much too long. That's why I would limit it to movies, series and documentaries. Maybe that would be an idea for a new thread. Nevertheless I gave you some merits for it

Yeah, I don't think mentions on these sorts of shows or other news programs should qualify them for inclusion here. There'd be far too many and I don't think it would be notable. I think you should include songs though. I can think of a handful of rap songs where bitcoin has been mentioned. I'm sure there's a lot more out there too but not so many that it'd become a mess or unable to keep on top of them.

Anyway, if you wanted to add songs here's probably the biggest one:

Eminem's Not Alike:

https://cointelegraph.com/news/bitcoin-gets-a-mention-on-rapper-eminems-new-album-kamikaze

Rappers Eminem and Royce Da 5’9’ have collaborated several times throughout their careers, having recorded a combined 66 songs that have made it into the Billboard Hot 100 record chart.

Eminem announced his tenth album “Kamikaze” in a tweet Friday, August 31, without much preceding promotion. According to Forbes, in "Not Alike," the ninth track on the new album, co-starring Royce Da 5’9’ sings:

    "Remember everybody used to bite Nickel, now everybody doing bitcoin."

The line is described by Forbes as an important sign of Bitcoin’s presence in mass culture and the realization that the cryptocurrency has a range of use cases beyond criminal.
