Almost human has mentioned it a few times... I'm just waiting for it to show up on Shark Tank now... lol
 Cool

pfft.... i would never expect those sharks would understand any tech phenomenal. There is a reason why those guys are only millionaires except Mark Cuban (whos clearly too cocky to admit a paradigm shift)

In short, it will be like this.....

"Bitcoin? i heard it was a scam"

"How do i get my money back? I want a loyalty on every.... whatever bitcoin related tx...."

"Your evaluation is way too high. No cash flow only bitcoin flow... that means i will only give you $100k max"

although i do not like highlighting the silk road history. The TV show 'person of interest' series 3 episode 13 mentions bitcoin  in context of (kinda loosely) the arrest of DPR.

so thats
the goodwife
simpsons
almost human
person of interest.

big named TV shows mentioning bitcoin

Bitcoin just got a shout out on Criminal Minds. Wasn't in the best light...paying for hookers, but any press is good press?
Lol let's be honest here; a hooker that accepts Bitcoins probably isn't your typical corner-trash hooker. That lady is probably a high-end prostitute!

That's kind of what they were talking about.  Apparently, with the internet, prostitution has left the streets and moving more online.  Definitely, a situation where you want cash bitcoin involved.

None of them can touch The Good Wife though. First it debuted a full two years before any of the other shows mentioning Bitcoin, but it was also completely dedicated to Bitcoin too.

I bet you guys got pretty excited about that round here back then lol.

I was jumping up & down inside my house watching that episode (my wife can confirm), haha.

And I would say, that you can make good movies with Bitcoin as (on of the ) topic(s). Because Bitcoin has something mysterious and revolutionary - in the real world.
- Satoshi Nakamoto (alone this)
- Silk Road
- hacking
- copy it and bring up a new coin (that maybe overcome Bitcoin). In a movie you don't have to be accurate. Someone invents a proof of work that can spy on people, cure cancer, search engine, what ever.
- the goverment destroys the money, hyper inflation and Bitcoin come
-...

And like I said: A movie don't has to be a documentary. It can be inaccurate to get more dramatic Wink

PS: What is about that Bitcoin documentary? "The rise of Bitcoin"?

OR just an entrepreneurial hooker. I like her vision.

Ha ha, you mean 'liked' her vision...it didn't end well for her.

You do realise she's just a TV character? lol But I recommend all sex workers and any other businesses start accepting Bitcoin.

A few of us decided to do shots of "insert appropriate alcoholic beverage here" every time the show actually said "Bitcoin" (expecting it to be very few). Boy... did that turn out to be an interesting night. My memory isn't as good as it used to be (probably because of that night) but the final count was somewhere above 70.
