The vast majority of movies tend to mention Bitcoin in the context of some sort of criminal activity. Even billions did the same, since the guy mentioning Bitcoin was being interviewed by an attorney in an interrogation room.

I think that Cyberpunk 2077 will have a major crypto element to it, but that's not out for some time yet, so it remains to be seen whether it will also be in association with undesirable activities.
This is unavoidable. Everyone has a different perspective. It could be that the film production team is on the opposition side of bitcoin, so there are only innuendos and the like. I think that true bitcoin lovers don't have time to think of ways for others to have the same opinion with them, just by maximizing this good opportunity.

These films are full of hyperbole, many things are exaggerated and dramatized to make the story more interesting. What's more, it's just fiction, we have to understand that Smiley

I want to see a movie that features cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin in a meaningful way, without necessarily denigrating it or doing so with negative connotations.

I like to watch bitcoin documentaries as well, because movies are somehow exaggerated, but documentaries possess more realistic idea of what the status of bitcoin is. For example, bitcoin documentary in a particular country, how they cope up with it, what is its status in terms of government tolerance. And also, how people handle bitcoins as if it has an effect to fiat usage.

Though, bitcoin in movies is also interesting, especially if they will look at the brighter side of its characteristics, and not always showing silkroad and its bad history.

The reference bitcoin shows are :-
1. The Good Wife
2. The Simpons
3. Family War
4. Silicon Valley and many more but these four are the most popular and most important shows about bitcoin.
As it is a fictional show and the topic of cryptocurrency has also been appeared like Mr. Robot etc.
Not only shows there are even movies about bitcoin which makes bitcoin still popular.

Bitcoin back in billions mentioned in bitcoin in mainstream media.

Actually this show Billions is a great show, it shows how big players manipulations, and how they sacrifice innocent for their own games. When I started watching I suggest this show to some of my friends, we don't know much about billionaires, what do they do and how they do it, this is a nice way to get some idea about it.
In last few comments I didn't see Mr Robot. I think we will see a lot more about crypto on TV in many forms. 2014 that was a really big thing to see bitcoin mentioned somewhere, but as it seems its becoming a normal thing, that shows the progress crypto is making, it's more popular every year.

Actually bitcoin is getting more and more acknowledgement from TV shows, series and movies
Like Mr robot, billions and today I was watching an episode of series called "blindspot" if you are familiar with
But the problem is that not always bitcoin is introduced as something revolutionary but sometimes it's portrayed as a tool or a resource that criminals or fugitives use when they are in the run.

What is this series about? Anyone? Is it any good? It seems ridiculous.

"For what, so your multitude of computers and servers could solve some abstract math equations resulting in the mining of Bitcoin. Worth millions right now, whoopee, but backed by what? Nada, nix, zot"

Is this person serious? They just told us bitcoin is backed by a "multitude of computers and servers could solve some abstract math equations" Then in the very next sentence claim it's backed by nothing.
Hilarious!!! I wonder if he knows how stupid he sounds?  Cheesy Roll Eyes

This is good and I believe it is just a function of time and the whole world will have no other option than coming to the understanding that Bitcoin and the crypto space has come to stay while helping to change the future. One thing about good innovations is that, it can't be suppressed for a long time and the time for Bitcoin and the crypto space to be heard and massively used is just close by. This is really good, although they are not the first but it is wonderful knowing that the attention is growing rapidly.

Surprisingly, bitcoin was mentioned on TV Shows all over the world. Here in the Philippines, bitcoin and cryptocurrency were also have been mentioned. Still, it turns out bitcoin and crypto are bad in the eyes of the people that they are reporting that bitcoin is a scheme to scam people to invest their money, and scammers are using famous people for attracting more investors just to scam them. It is disappointing that bitcoin is troublesome in some people's points of view that they can't accept bitcoin and crypto as a currency due to illegal activities like scams.

This is some of the news and TV shows that have been broadcast in the Philippines about Bitcoin is a scam:

Tito Boy does not endorse cryptocurrency auto-trading program
Filipino couple amasses at least P900M in alleged Bitcoin scam

The funniest mention of Bitcoins on any TV show would be the one in the Big Bang Theory

They actually summarized problems of some people , they used to have Bitcoins back in 2009-2010 , then unfortunately did not know how high it would go . They forgot the wallet , where it is , where they had put the Bitcoins and searched every single computer for the Bitcoins.

They would have been millionaires but they did not care for the Bitcoins back then .
_______________________________________________________

Back in the day I used to own some Bitcoins when the price wasn't significant , there were many faucets sites which would give you some significant amount on sign-up. Funny thing , I gambled it all away on games I did not even know how to play 😂✋
==============================================

Commercialization through TV shows is very effective, humans tend to watch more of them rather than read an article about cryptocurrencies and other things . Since ages it have proven to be effective in selling even the products which are not efficient , effective or even safe.

I do think people watching it would actually search for Bitcoins and then stumble on the forum.

Chuck Rhoades : "For what, so your multitude of computers and servers could solve some abstract math equations resulting in the mining of Bitcoin. Worth millions right now, whoopee, but backed by what? Nada, nix, zot"

the Bitcoiner : "What's a dollar backed by, since we went off the gold standard?"

Boom!

https://www.newsweek.com/billions-season-5-premiere-episode-spoilers-references-music-becky-lynch-1501552
This statement actually supports the crypto and also insults the Dollar at the same time which is pretty amazing. I have found that many a times on the television crypto gets related with the darknet which defames the crypto as people think that crypto is always used for illicit activities and if they invest in it then they will also become the ones who helps the criminals in laundering the money, but guess what... The US dollar is also amongst the most widely used currency for the purposes of laundering and illicit activities.

What is this series about? Anyone? Is it any good? It seems ridiculous.
About economics, it's good to learning about economics system. By the way it's just movie. where character of person not real as life. and who has made this scenario know about Bitcoin and nice moment to mention into his movie series, who's know he invested Bitcoin before.
