I welcome you to check out some of the BTC references in the thick picture, but why shouldn't we remember it?
I'm not interested in motion pictures and lately Hollywood shows a lot of unobtrusive and medium speed pictures.
Why not join a larger section of mainstream society rap. Uncertain
Some rappers have mentioned bitcoin in their tone. I think Rice Da 5'9 mentioned it during a tune.

Hello guys.

So I have really watched a lot of film again for 1 month and I bumped into something really great.
There is no script about bitcoin or blockchain but it is about cryptography.

After I watched the film I have a lot of question in my mind.
Started to wiki the person behind it and then all of a sudden tries to think about Satoshi.
Is he good at mathematics too? Or is he a genius at it? Something like that.

I bet you will have the same idea once you finish the film.
It is a little old though, so some of you might had already watched it.

Title: The Imitation Game (2014)
This is a war story but for those who are scared with blood spilling around (like my wife) no worries, it is more like a drama also.

Undoubtedly, any films and series that mention cryptocurrency and blockchain at least in passing make cryptocurrency more popular and attract interested people to cryptocurrencies, among which there can be a huge number of potential investors.  Of course, this is only for the benefit of each cryptocurrency user.  But I’ve watched several episodes with criminal overtones several times, where very often criminals, including drug dealers, use Bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies for their financial transactions, since no one can trace neither the owners of the cryptocurrency nor track the information about the product for which they paid  cryptocurrency.  I believe that this moment negatively affects the popularization of cryptocurrency in society.

Mostly, yes. It was always glued to a bad scene or plot.
But that could change. We are still in an era where people are lazy enough to research with what the real deal is.
Judging everything just because of one bad event or an experience of one know person.

Somewhere in the future those will change.
These movies will surely use it just like a normal currency should be.
Negative to positive. They are making it more popular even with those bad plots they make.
Today, life is quite complicated and therefore the mentality of people is almost similar in every country, because they perceive negative things much faster than good ones.  That is why I am worried about the fate of cryptocurrency, since the directors show the cryptocurrency in a bad light, because they show how criminals can use cryptocurrency to finance crime.  Although if you think about this topic more carefully, then Nobody forbids dollars, when the forbidden funds are most bought and sold for this currency.

But I don't like the whole concept of this movie when it comes to the credibility of Bitcoin.

Unfriended: Darkweb
I watched this movie and I freaked out when I saw this scene where the hacker is trying to get his laptop back with bitcoin in it. The concept is pretty clever and smart, I find it natural for a hacker to settle with bitcoin than fiat since they are internet guys. Nothing is new about a movie is all about computers, we'll might see tons of this scene in the future. The credibility of bitcoin is questioned but it is natural after all.

 Perhaps, bitcoin is used in some kind way like scams or frauds then it would hit the community badly.

if I'm not mistaken, things that smell of cryptocurrency also appear on Deadpool movies, it's just that I don't know whether Deadpool goes into Hollywood Movies or not.

Really? Deadpool too?
I will watch both 1 and 2 again later on.

It seems like I have been missing those parts because I don't usually use subtitles.
Even if just one word of crypto currency, bitcoin or blockchain will be worth the watch again.
Besides, it is a good movie so it will be fun.

I also noticed this movie Deadpool talking about cryptocurrency on their line script.

Actually I have created a thread last year in our local the same like this. A movie that has a scene of Bitcoin and Blockchain but I dont know if this belongs to Holywood movies. The title of the movie is "Unfriended: Darkweb". And the story was related to Bitcoin when a guy saw a laptop that has a 15 Bitcoin that owned by the hacker. But I don't like the whole concept of this movie when it comes to the credibility of Bitcoin.

Let the movies make cryptocurrency popular... So that after some time governments of all nations will remove the restriction on it.
In India crypto is ban.

In india cryptocurrency is neither banned nor is accepted as a legal tender. You can HODL, trade , Buy and Sell cryptocurrency without any issue. Recently banks have also started allowing cryptocurrency based transaction after the Supreme court of India rejected RBI's ban.

If we talk about bitcoin and blockchain it is rarely found in hollywood movies. I also wonder why the producer and famous directors
in Hollywood are not very interested in bitcoin. In fact, if there is a Hollywood film that is made specifically for raising the theme of
the world of cryptocurrency would be very good for the development of bitcoin. Hopefully in the future there are hollywood movies
who really raised the theme of bitcoin, using famous celebrities like leonardo di caprio, denzel washington, chris evans, and so forth.
It will definitely have a positive impact on the development of bitcoin. While hollywood movies mentioned in the opening post not
discuss specifically about bitcoin, but only in conversation.

I saw bitcoin featured in Billions TV show in 2017.
A moment to remember.
History or moments that will not be forgotten.
In my country in Indonesia, it even becomes trending in one week and is published in print and digital media every day and is the subject of discussion in the government.
The entry of Bitcoin in several films makes Bitcoin more widely known. Especially if Blockchain and Bitcoin enter the world of Hollywood which is the largest film industry, will provide many benefits.

Even so, bitcoin included in the film is identified with illegal payment transactions for prohibited goods such as drugs and illegal firearms etc.

I'm more interested in stuff that'll emerge from stories that originate from the scene itself rather than having it glued to the usual dross. If the full truth ever emerges about Silk Road that would make for a fascinating flick.

Last time was just a documentary encircling about silk road, bitcoin and politics.
Something like a movie but base on true story will be better.


@OP- I watched a lot of films too and heard some of cryptocurrency and bitcoin on their discussion. If Im not mistaken some part on the Marvels Avenger series it was also noted. I'm not sure which one it is. But only an insertion on such discussion they are having. Anyway will search a lot I know, there are more that we missed aside from your list.
The best way is to put subtitles in it.
I have been watching some of the Marvel again but now I input a subtitle just to not miss some words that will come out of their mouth.  Grin
It is also easier to catch up.
English accents are also difficult to understand most of the time. They are really good at using their language.

I appreciate the fact that you did some research about BTC being mentioned in movies,but why should we care about this?
Probably OP's just interested how people already informed of cryptocurrency even in movies its being mentioned.

I'm not that much of a movie freak, but I'll make sure I do watch a couple of the movies listed in this thread at least if not for anything, for the sake or our major concern:Bitcoin

It's a golden rule that the more informed you are about a subject the more outraged you'll be by Hollywood's treatment of it. If you have blood pressure problems you may want to get someone else to watch it and report back to you.

This is really good and I’m expecting more and more movies in Hollywood to be creating awareness for cryptocurrency by doing things that relates to cryptocurrency in their movies. This will, as time goes on, create more awareness and make the government to lift bans on cryptocurrency and allow people to make use of it. Or maybe they will create a cryptocurrency for the people.
I know how important movies/films are in our contemporary society, as a genre of literature and also a source of information and entertainment, if this films that expound the bitcoin will be created even the more, I think the above purpose you mentioned can be achieved through it. This is a somewhat wonderful medium for the cryptocurrency industry to capitalize on.

India and South Korea uplifted their conflict with the cryptocurrencies, so maybe this is the time we'll get to see more of crypto in bollywood and hollywood when the movie is all about the future or something advance. Exposing in movies for like a couple of seconds would really help to the community, reaching billions of viewers are extremely high. I'm sure those who know what crypto is will smile when they see it haha.

Okay, I said that because I have seen the road we are heading to, governments now wants to create their own cryptocurrency and they are going to be centralized. Whatever happens, I am really hoping for the best and not the worst. But I want the government to allow people to be making use of Bitcoin without any problem.

Thanks for the information , I didn't even know that bitcoin and blockchain are mentioned so much in movies.

An not only in movies, but even you can also see the main animated cartoons like The Simpsons talking now about bitcoin. The description they give about cryptocurrencies was a joke, but at least they talk about it.

For me, my favorite representation of cryptos on the big screen was the E-Coin in Mr. Robot.
