Just finished Episode 2 of season 2 of house of cards and "Bitcoin laundering" was mentioned in the episode. It's pretty crazy how far Bitcoin has come for it to be mentioned in TV shows now.

it's called product placement, don't think its coin-cidental

The question is what is the % of mentions positive vs. negative? I'd say the vast majority are negative ($ laundering, drug sales etc.)

The whole CC industry is so full of hype, I'm surprised it wasn't seen for what it is -- just more hype. When the Feds sell btc it seized that will make history, if headline reads: 'UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT SELLS BITCOINS' in any national publication make sure to buy many copies. then buckle your seat belts because the btc rocket will take off yet again traveling at hype-rdrive

IOW, progress

I'm saying whenever you hear or see bitcoin involved in any show it's simply a sophisticated advertisement FOR bitcoin, regardless of if the reference appears to be bad or good. as for the feds, that's a chicken dinner -- "winner, winner, chicken dinner!" buy those newspapers or mags and sell them for substantially more than purchase price if the headline is just right, on a widely read paper ie: NYT.

Just started to watch season 1 of this show, really getting into it! Nice to see the bitcoin mention, even if it's for something negative like laundering.
