Bitcoin- in bullish time
As far as i can remember the movie called "Dope" uses the term bitcoin. In that movie the main characters are just a school guys who are invited in a party by their drug dealer friend and somehow the police raids the party and the drug dealer passes/put the drugs on the back pack of the school boy and then they decided to sell it on black market and accepts bitcoin as a payment.

From mainstream series and films? I think just Mr. Robot, a series in front of their time with an perfect production and writting...

It was a shock to see the "we accept bitcoin" posters in the series however I think no-bitcoin people don't recognise those details.

edit: can Elliot be Satoshi Nakamoto?  Roll Eyes

Interesting question. I've seen both seasons, but I did not get such a thought, although it might be possible. The character of Elliot could also be that of Satoshi. Both seem rather selfless, fight against monopolies, high talented and want to give the world something. In addition, the personalities of both are hard to grasp.

I've seen some and saw some documentaries on youtube.

Life On Bitcoin - A Documentary Film

Life Inside a Secret Chinese Bitcoin Mine

for me this was very good

Bitcoin Documentary - The Rise and Rise of Bitcoin

and this

Good Bye Money Welcome Bitcoin Full Documentary-2016


Mr robot is crazy, I mean, that guy is crazy. In the early episodes of the series I thought he was talking to his father and then find that he spoke alone. Shocked Shocked Shocked

I will try to look up these documentaries you posted. I hope it would also be a lecture for me, so I can learn more about Bitcoin.

I agree with Mr. Robot. I was really surprised that he was both his own self and his dad. I guessed that that was his dad. It turned out right, but one thing that I wasn't certain was, he is really dead. I thought he was still alive. Oh no spoiler alert  Roll Eyes Shocked

It's not a movie or filme but I remember when I listened to Gramatik sound called Satoshi Nakamoto talking about the cryptocurrency and it's a great sound btw...

"I never take a break
That shit is too commercial"

p.s. is Mr Robot any good, i keep hearing about it?

I love the first season and the concept behind the series. The second season unfortunately can not keep up with the first. It focuses more on the main character instead of further story. I was a bit disappointed. But still very worth seeing and recommended.
I had watched few episodes of Mr. Robot, nice film and concept of hackers and the main  character looks so good with his social interaction problem. I've watched some film and documentaries that mentions about bitcoin as anonymous payment, it quite good introduce and explanation about bitcoin and could attract people to learn more about it.

Most of these films/series mentioned bitcoin as a "high tech, difficult to understand" form of money. Good advertisement but also may make people think that it is just a myth and it is something that "may" happen in the future.

I do not remember what episode it was, but it "Almost Human" tv series. It mentions physical Bitcoin Wallet

'Almost Human' is one of my favorite sci-fi shows of all time. Too bad they cancelled it because it had great potential and they should have kept developing the story. Such a gem of a TV show gone to waste. Anyways if someone is interested to see the Bitcoin reference featured in the show it was a Bitcoin wallet stick:

i think there was a similar thread, not that i can find it though.

the only Movie that i have seen bitcoin feature in it so much like in being the main story was called "Dope" it is a 2015 movie where a teenager used bitcoin to sell drugs anonymously online and get out of his neighborhood Smiley

p.s. is Mr Robot any good, i keep hearing about it?


Mr. Robot is really good it's about a hacker who wants to change the world. The cinematography, actors, and concepts are good. They show real codes that are used for hacking/programming. Things that are possible in real life can happen.

Yea, bitcoin has been mentioned in the series

I just found the brand new series "StartUp" by coincidence about a female programmer who invented a crypto currency called Gencoin. This somehow reminds me of Satoshi. In any case, Bitcoin is also mentioned when she is speaking with investors.
The first episode of the first season was aired recently. The first episode was really promising.

Here is the trailer of the first season.

Since many are interested in the Bitcoin mentions in Mr. Robot, I've picked out a scene on Youtube.

Mr Robot - character wanting Ecoin to take over Bitcoin before it's too late S2E11
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BPPjZ7TbmgE

Unfortunately, I could not find scenes for further mentions and where Bitcoin sign is shown.
in the last 10 episodes this tv show really accentuate cryptocurrency as main plot , everything always related to cryptocurrency. love this tv show so much every time they mentioning bitcoin. btw someone have cut the scen where bitcoin mentioned in several movies/tv series i just don't remember where it is.

There's Deapool, as from what people are saying. Though I did not verified it myself in spite of having watched the movie three times especially for that purpose, I believe it considering how many people told it.

I do not even pay attention to the signs that bitcoin in the movies. They are thus want to popularize cryptocurrency. Here are just a need or actively attract the viewer's attention. Because if I had not noticed, others do not give value.

I'm an avid viewer of Mr. Robot and yes, Bitcoin was there in some of the episodes. I read a lot of reviews and after that certain episode. Honestly, I couldn't remember what episode is that. Some of the viewers ask themselves about what is bitcoin? Many tutorials came up on youtube on how to have one. That's how TV Series could affect lives of people and that is how bitcoin was also freely advertised.
