There was a show which came out earlier this year called Almost Human, about a cop in the future with a very human-like android sidekick.
They mentioned Bitcoin in the show several times. The problem with it, was that they used it as a plot device for shady / criminal activities. They would find a body and pull out some sort of stick looking thing and say something like, "Bitcoin...this guy must have been into some bad shit."
Maybe Hollywood isn't quite ready for Bitcoin. On the other hand, any publicity is good publicity. Remember the movie "The Net" back in the mid-nineties with Sandra Bullock. It came out at a time when probably less than half the population had ever even heard of the Internet, let alone ever actually used it. It was an awful movie, but the fact that they made a movie about the Internet meant it was ready for mainstream.
