jamie foxx's character mentions paying for burner phones with bitcoins. i say this because many people thought bitcoin would never be mentioned in a multi-million dollar movie in 2014... well.. it now has Interesting, might this actually give Bitcoin extra exposure to non-tech people?
Let's hope the Bitcoin part won't get blurred or beeped out in some countries.
I doubt this by itself will help. People who don't know what Bitcoin is won't go looking just because of this. Especially for non-tech people, who will assume it's just some nerd thing. Censorship is the least of Bitcoins' problems. I think it can. If you're watching a film and there's something you don't understand or know it will pique many people's interest or intrigue as to what it is and to look it up after.

is buying a cell phone bad??
A criminal talking about buying a jailbroke(I hope he's a talking about the phone, how do you jailbroke bitcoin?) untraceable phone to mask other illicit activity doesn't sound like ringing endorsement to me(its at best shady at best) .So we're rejoicing because they didn't portray it as bad as they could(they need to make Jamie's character likeable or at leas tolerable, after all) ? Hey at least he wasn't trafficking cocaine or hiring a hitman with it

Hey at least he wasn't trafficking cocaine or hiring a hitman with it it doesn't strike me as bad. It's clear that it's anonymous. I think it's awesome exposure! The slight pause makes the word more noticeable, and it is used as part of the story line, drawing just enough attention to it. "Prepaid with gold coins" / "prepaid with bitcoins" - nice. I like it!

It is a sign that bitcoin is common enough that many people will understand when it if referenced in 'pop culture'

By affirming to the ignorant suspicion that bitcoin is an anonymous payment system used by the underworld to circumvent detection?

"Anonymous" isn't exactly something that most people cares as much as the ones who frequent this forums do(besides, bitcoin isn't exactly anonymous).The fact the line was spoken by an outlaw pretty much means they're trying to invoke an underworld connotation .While it may not exactly be a bad (they could do it a lot, lot worse)it may just draw enough attention for audience to conclude that it a "criminal thing" without bothering to look it up.Perhaps if a different type of character(nerd, political activist,fringe economist etc) saying might be less jarring to me. I'm more interested in the tv's show context ,though.Too bad we don't air that show here.Anyone can provide a summary of that episode?

By affirming to the ignorant suspicion that bitcoin is an anonymous payment system used by the underworld to circumvent detection? For all intensive purposes, using bitcoin is anon. This is especially true for smaller transactions. Unfortunately bitcoin is used by criminals to hide their identity (although there are many other uses for it as well)

Give it a year or two and I'm sure we'll see bitcoin being mentioned more prominently or maybe even a film based around bitcoin (or at least heavily featured).

Simpsons did it, simpsons did it.
Watched the scene, not bad, lets just hope bitcoins gets mentioned in as many legit ways as quirky or illegal ways.

It is also mentioned in the series "Silicon Valley"
Haha, yup I remember that. Bertram Gilfoyle asks to be paid in Bitcoins: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SqlVU1VWAhwGood to see Bitcoin get more mainstream mentions in movies, TV, news, and media. Now if we can somehow get a huge blockbuster Marvel movie, James Bond movie, or dedicated episode on like The Big Bang Theory...that would be even better.

That could be interesting. I agree that the more exposure the better, but I think better results could come from targeting a more willing audience. Anyone want to phone the guys of the big bang theory and pitch an episode plot?

Notice they've got shitload of product placements in their series.
