What if all the currencies in the movie are Bitcoin?

[just_Alice]

The problem with Bitcoin adoption nowadays is not that people don't know about it (like 10 years ago), but that they don't trust Bitcoin. Gaining people's trust through culture is generally a good idea because it will draw a lot of attention at once, but there are certain obstacles here too.

For instance, if we're talking about a movie, then the character that promotes Bitcoin should play the main part, should be positive, and very well-known (e.g. Superman level), otherwise people won't be interested. But how to include cryptocurrencies in such a context so that it would not affect the storyline or look too obtrusive?

The other issue is more difficult. Promoting cryptocurrencies has its consequences and not many production companies will be willing to take the responsibility. For instance, WB makes a movie mentioning Bitcoin, next thing they know the movie is banned in China, or they'll be criticized all over the media for "crypto promotion", many would start thinking that they have a personal interest in this.

IMO, I believe it was useful because it serves as a promotion for Bitcoin although it was only in the movies. But still, it served a purpose, As long as the movie is not portraying negativity against Bitcoin it's also useful like a series on NetFlix titled MoneyHiest Season 4 Bitcoin was also mentioned as a reference and in the latter part of the series they explain how paper money printed out from thin air. It makes sense that's why if more movies were using Bitcoin as a reference, the better.

I'm sure it will help more people know Bitcoin, if any movies show Bitcoin as currency. Because for now Bitcoin still needs a lot of promotion, one of
which is by bringing up Bitcoin in movies. I also watched Money Heist and one scene mentions Bitcoin, which is a good thing in my opinion.
Hopefully Bitcoin can be in many movies in the future, especially this year Bitcoin was quite surprising where the Bitcoin price managed to rise
above $60k. This might be a reference for filmmakers to include Bitcoin in movies.

There is a sort of matrix and newness if they're going to add bitcoin as their currency. Well, just like the modern days, that will make the story more interesting as bitcoin is interesting for no coiners and if they ever hear that it is in a sequel or movie, that's a free advertisement for bitcoin. And it could also be part of their marketing as they know there's a huge community that supports bitcoin so with just 1 or two mentions of bitcoin, it will spread quickly to the community that there's this movie that has endorsed or mentioned bitcoin.

Simple;
Not all people are into Bitcoin in Bitcoin or interested in Bitcoin or know Bitcoin.
If you are the movie producer, you will probably have a target audience, base on what genre your movie is.
You will use all terms that your target audience will easily understand the movie and everything talking in the movie.
So it's difficult. Just my 2 cents.

And if they will dedicate a movie only with bitcoin as currency, they will only gain small percentage of audience. And one of their aims is to generate money from what they are making. So nope, they can't sacrifice with that. Unless, their aim is to educate people with bitcoin and they don't aim to earn money from it. But that I think is still far from happening.

[sheenshane]

IMO, why not.
I have seen many movies that talking about Bitcoin in a short scene.  There's nothing bad using Bitcoin as a currency in a movie as long it has a good concept.  But my concern most is that most that I have seen are that Bitcoin was commonly used in illegal activities which makes people think that Bitcoin is for a bad purpose, if there's new to Bitcoin and saw that movie might think not to use Bitcoin at all.

It has been used so many times and if this will continue using it gives more benefits to Bitcoin becomes well known but this will depend on the concept of the movie how Bitcoin will use.

[ziennakarishma21]

I heard that it is quite interesting with such movies, it is like advertising BTC cryptocurrency, if the director is a person who also plays BTC, in his mind, he wants BTC more and more more known users. that's my personal opinion.

[Wexnident]

Honestly, the only movie I'd only consider to actually be about Bitcoin is first, a movie about its development, which would probably be short, but if added with its purpose and it's kind of a makeup story of going against the government, then it'd probably work. But if you consider it, that's almost directly going against the current government, since you're plainly trying to advertise that the current system is bad, while Bitcoin could bring innovation to it, so I highly doubt anyone would actually make it.

Other than that really, it's rather unimaginable, since Bitcoin is a currency after all. Other movies would simply talk about Bitcoin in a small part and not really the center of the story in most cases.

[Peanutswar]

Most of the movies today are referring the use of the bitcoin in terms of investment and hacking movies because this is the most used coin to get transactions in investment it can give you a profit by holding it in hacking movies it's used for the payment method because of using the term "untraceable " for those people who makes an investment to the bitcoin and sees this on a movie it gives a different experience and to that newbie with the word of it they become more curious and trying about the bitcoin itself. I don't think it's intentional its part of the movie to deliver a good story.

[SacriFries11]

The popularity of a bitcoin will be further boosted if it is included in movies. Because the movie is a great platform to express and promote something. Many will be curious about bitcoin and how to use it. Like sport events where it already gets promotion and exposure. The demand of a market will also increase when this happens. This will be a good result and healthy in the world of cryptocurrency

[Fundamentals Of]

Look at all the cases where bitcoin was used in movies. It is either as some get rich quick scheme or used to buy drugs!

Or simply as an underground currency, which is still related of course, but not necessarily referring to it as a criminal's currency. But this is still the old way of looking at it. Their understanding of Bitcoin must have been stuck many years ago during the Silk road days. That is obviously not anymore the case today. Bitcoin is already thriving in the open. I guess the way Bitcoin is portrayed in the movies should also change.

[Iceblast]

don't be too high for bitcoin expectations in the film world because what we know will be cons from countries that don't approve of bitcoin and that's for sure. because they think differently from the point of view of the film scenario. but there is a positive side that the audience will know what crypto is even though I'm sure I don't understand globally

[fiulpro]

I do hope that we can understand for a fact that we cannot live in Bitcoins entirely. There are places where it would be a big problem. In places where it's not really a big deal to use online cryptos and the local businesses have not integrated themselves with Bitcoins and other cryptocurrencies right now, it's a really big deal.

But it would definitely be an amazing step if in the future such things are done since people would not actually watch the news but they would rather see the movies and videos. So I do think that this does not only depend on companies making the films but also the cultural influence, how the whole culture is accepting Bitcoins. We have to still wait for a fully fledged society to do such thing.

[Keila Faith Villanueva]

I very much support your idea. I also hope that Bitcoin will be known to the world, but as far as I know, most of the Bitcoins that appear in movies are due to the particularity of Bitcoin, and because it cannot be censored, many of them are bad transactions. When these film directors mentioned Bitcoin in his work, it was not because he believed in Bitcoin. I don't like his motivation.

Movies seek for audience, so they will introduce any subject that is being commonly discussed by the society at the present moment to grab that public to the movie. Bitcoin popularity is increasing along the years and even more recently after the crash in price and statements from different celebrities and whales about the digital currency. Movies' directors will take this opportunity to turn all this talk talk into money for themselves.
I can't say I'm excited about introduction of bitcoin on movies because movies' industry isn't exciting anymore since at least a decade ago, but I hope it helps bitcoin adoption to increase, as movies have the power of captivating interest from the public for the elements presented on the film.

Or movies can challenge subjects that are not being discussed by society to spur this discussion:) Which is what a really good crypto movie would do. Because all it does now is feed the "crypto is used by criminals and evil people" narrative,,, which we all know is false but if Bitcoin is continuously talked about as such in films then can we blame people for believing so?

[Mistafreeze]

This is a way of marketing goods and services where the latest trend in the society that is a talk of the the town will now be use to illustration or presumptuous display so that people can agitate on it bringing more consumers and interest of people to long for it. Bitcoin is use just to attract more viewers that are lovers and holders of Bitcoin to patronage them.

Although it is not normal seeing such kind of scenerio which can also give awareness to people who does not know about Bitcoin and it's existance. But it depends on the actual illustration that is being passed to the society without affecting the altimate reasons about the development of Bitcoin. Some may see it as a means to escape money laundering attention from the government.

Just imagine if all currency in the movie are Bitcoin. If this occurs then their would be lesser currency in display minding the price of Bitcoin. This is a good innovation in display which will attract more viewers, the same time publicing Bitcoin and it altcoins to the society.

[ropyu1978]

I think if they make a film all currency is bitcoin, I think this is less interesting, and becomes a boring spectacle, because every scene that is shown there is only money and money, but if they want to make a film about bitcoin's journey from zero to development, and for the benefit of many people, I think it will be better, because in every scene there will be sacrifices, sorrows, and challenges..

I really agree with your opinion, bitcoin is indeed good for showing, so that everyone will know more about bitcoin, but I think this film must be full of controversy, because the government will definitely ban all of that, so it's better if we introduce bitcoin through media networks , although slow but sure .. and the government can't find our faults ..

[Dhoe]

what if all the currency in the movie is bitcoin,,?? I think this will add a new problem, don't add to the wound, don't sprinkle lime water on the scratch, because it's definitely sore, bitcoin is currently in trouble, price declines, China prohibits bitcoin mining and the world bank closing the krypto exchange, when it comes to the film the government will definitely do everything possible to bring down bitcoin, and scare weak hands, etc.. we better introduce bitcoin through social media, so it's safer and more secure..

LOL, that is a good point, I could probably count with one hand the movies that I like that have been produced during the last decade, producers and directors have concentrated themselves on giving the audience the best possible viewing experience they can but the storytelling and the stories themselves are awful.

So even if bitcoin was introduced in many shows and movies then most likely I will not watch the movie anyway as for the most part I do not really watch too much TV these days.
