House of Cards BTC

[vpitcher07]

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.

Bitcoin was also mentioned a couple times in that new syfy show, "Almost Human"

Yes. And in The Blacklist (along with Ripple). Also Person of Interest.

Bitcoin will be mentioned everywhere soon
 
I see it at my neighbourhood.

There is an entire episode of The Good Wife about bitcoin

[boumalo]

Bitcoin was mentionned in the excellent tv show the good wife back in early 2013

What a coincidence to see this post. I just literally finished episode 1, 2 minutes ago and am about to start episode 2

I heard it's the main currency on that show.

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

[supersajin]

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

I see what you did there, but who's paying them exactly?

Likely the same people so many are complaining about in these forums, the people who know the value of having Bitcoin in the conversation.

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

I watched that episode 2 days ago. I was very surprised. I watched it with my girlfriend, i think now she knows more about BTC after I explained a bit .

see, that's Product Placement working with great precision

perhaps before the show when you mentioned btc it sounded like: blah, blah, blah, blah, to her,
but now after it was mentioned on TV, now it sounds like: Bitcoin BLAH Blah something real .
IOW, progress

Best program, best coin.

Are you saying there's a conspiracy?

only in the most technical sense of the word, but otherwise no.

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.
