Topic: bitcoin mentioned in Horrible Bosses 2 movie - page 3. (Read 3731 times)
Good news indeed! Even movie directors now acknowledge bitcoin existence. Hope to see some high-budget movie been made specially that focuses solely on bitcoin. I'm not talking about documentary series, I'm talking about a full-fledged movies by top actors or actresses.
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.
Besides, the context in which it is mentioned is more "criminal-underworld"tone rather than nerd/techie type thing.
It is also mentioned in the series "Silicon Valley"

That's not how it works. You probably won't go and research what the bitcoin is because of the single mentioning in some comedy movie. But if you hear/see bitcoin references from different sources, over long period of time, that builds the awareness. You never show any interest in researching bitcoin, but you're aware (to some degree) what it is and how it works anyway. That's always a good thing.

It has been interesting seeing the word make its way into TV regularly and now movies.

While preparing to launch the scheme, the three friends reconnect with Motherf—er Jones (Jamie Foxx), a seemingly street-wise character who spent ten years in prison for recording movies illegally. Jones uses his black market connections to buy prepaid cell phones, which the friends intend to use to communicate with the father of their now-complicit captive. How does Jones know the cell phone purchase was untraceable? He paid with “Bit Coins,” of course. However, Jones simply mentions the transaction in passing; the audience does not see him make the Bitcoin purchase.
jamie foxx's character mentions paying for burner phones with bitcoins.
