Do you have any ideas on how to start a new thread? Should the list still be in the OP or should I keep an external list (e.g. Google Spreadsheets) to have the opportunity to sort/filter? Or should we no longer keep a list at all and just continue the course of the thread with the mentions as documentation?

I think it is important to maintain a list, even if bitcoin is becoming more and more mainstream. It remains interesting to keep track of the films and series where it is mentioned and featured. It has a sort of historical value, and a list is the best way to do it because it is easier and more practical than to read every post in this thread.
In my opinion, the best option would be an external list (or even maybe a website) that could be updated by a few serious contributors based on the propositions here, and after verification. I have no idea how it could be done, and if it would be easy, but I think it could be great to have something like that.

After some time of less activity here in the forum, I will now be regularly active again. For this reason, I'm thinking about redesigning this thread or even restarting it from scratch. I'm just wondering in which format I should do this, since Bitcoin and crypto are now anchored in the mainstream and there are a lot of mentions in films/series, unlike when I started the thread a few years ago .

I’m not sure if anyone has mentioned this Netflix documentary “Trust No One: The Hunt for the Crypto King” which came in 2022. From the name, you can tell for sure that it is centered on cryptocurrency, however, I did not enjoy watching. Maybe it’s me but I got bored after all the excitement that I was going to watch something based on cryptocurrency. I’m also not sure how possible it is, it would have been great to add the ratings of these movies included in the thread.

Well I think that would go without saying Grin

Oh my, Cryptocurrency is mentioned in the last Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One, that's huge:

- At 37 min, Ethan Hunt/Tom Cruise stops a girl in an airport, pickpockets a flash drive from her and says that there 4 millions in crypto on it.

- Then at around 2 hours and 6 minutes, a strange transaction takes place: someone has to pay 100 millions USD in crypto to the same girl (who is now disguised in another girl, anyway that's bs) and she has to enter her IBAN on an app (wut?), which then take an awful lot of time... "decrypting Blockchain" - I swear it's written as is. They clearly did not put a lot of work into this. NGMI.

Little mention of Bitcoin by Jennifer Aniston in the series 'The Morning Show', S03E04 at 23:59:

"I have a farm.
- You do?
-Completely self-sustainable.
- What do you grow? Bitcoin?" Grin

Don't really understand the ref (mining farm? Because the guy works in tech? Ok...) but it's fun

Bitcoin, blockchain and crypto are mentioned in 'They Cloned Tyrone' on Netflix at around 9 minutes:

"Blockchain. That's right, motherfucker. Blockchain. You remember, uh, Thursday Tony, that trick I used to see on Tuesdays, who lost his house investing in some bootleg Bitcoin? Well, his plight got me researching this shit. Cryptocurrency's a bubble, everybody knows that. But blockchain? Oh, that shit the future."

A bit cliche right? Grin

Like it's 2015. Invert the words bitcoin and blockchain and you get something that actually makes sense.

Bitcoin is mentioned in the 2nd episode of the 1st season of the series 'The Night Agent' on Netflix:

02:33 --> 02:39
Someone's in our goddamn system.
We're completely locked out.
Everything's shut down.

02:39 --> 00:02:41
Um, sorry, what's going on?

02:41 --> 00:02:49
The hackers just contacted us.
They want 7.2 million in Bitcoin, or they release
our proprietary technology online, which will sink us.

Movie: Vacation Friends 2 mentioned about cryptocurrency called SCOM coin.

Actually, it is related to the climax of the movie too.

Ron invested $32,000 despite the volatility of cryptocurrency. The market boomed overnight, making Ron a multimillionaire which he used to pay for the drug dealers 5 million as ransom since it was the demanded amount to relieve Reese.

Leave no FUD unchallenged

I've just started the latest episode of 'Futurama'. In some parts of the world it's labelled Season 8, Episode 3 and in other parts it's Season 11, Episode 3.

The episode opens with the Professor declaring Planet Express is bankrupt because his Bitcoin investment didn't go to plan. But then he sees the news saying that the price has rebounded again. So he gets the idea to mine the rare metal which mining chips are made from.

Expect the usual lazy comments of "pyramid scheme" and jabs about supposed environmental concerns.

Hey everyone! Happy to see the thread still up and running. I watch a lot of TV shows, which is perhaps why I know one that doesn't seem to be on the list, but it mentioned cryptos (and I think Bitcoin specifically as well). It's a show called Atypical, and it's Season 2, episode 5. There's a thread about it on Reddit.
Also, in the category of what isn't in English, Bitcoin was mentioned in a recent Ukrainian movie (in Ukrainian language) "Luxembourg, Luxembourg", I've made a thread about it here.

Bitcoin was mentioned in the TV series Salvation season 2, although I'm not entirely sure, I think it was episode 6, and it was mentioned in episodes after that. In any case, if you want to see what a world looks like in which people are fighting to prevent an asteroid from hitting the earth, and at the same time there is an attempted coup in the White House and Bitcoin is involved.

season 2 episode 6

Where did you get this?

00:07:11,689 --> 00:07:14,913
I found it in my sister's snow globe. From that box of stuff you gave me.

00:07:15,099 --> 00:07:16,488
What is it?

00:07:16,527 --> 00:07:18,148
Some kind of encryption key.

00:07:18,242 --> 00:07:22,611
Sort of thing used by hackers, arms dealers, people with something to hide.

00:07:22,713 --> 00:07:24,328
This one's for a bitcoin wallet.

00:07:24,515 --> 00:07:26,101
Bitcoin, the cryptocurrency.

00:07:26,129 --> 00:07:27,214
Uh-huh.

An outrageous and provocative dark comedy about a mismatched NSA team who kidnap Satoshi Nakamoto, the creator of Bitcoin, and attempt to torture him for the information they need to destroy cryptocurrencies.

Interesting plot. Looks a bit silly but I'll give it a watch as I love black comedies.

Disobey.

I got something to add to the list:

Netflix series: Beef

Quite early on, one of the main characters is accessing his brother's phone and sees he invested in some crypto including Bitcoin.
SPOILER: He borrows money (around $20k) and invests it all in Bitcoin. Later on we see BTC dropping by more than 50% and our main guy losing most of his investment. SPOILER END

In The Simpsons, episode 18 of season 32 titled “Burguer Kings”, we can see an interesting quick visual joke on the bottom of the screen: the price of Bitcoin will be “infinite”. Will this new Simpsons prediction be as accurate as the others? Wink

https://www.ibtimes.com/simpsons-predicts-future-price-bitcoin-will-it-be-accurate-3180756

Nice catch. Here it is:

This is similar to what Saylor said: "It's going up forever, Laura."

It basically makes sense. Bitcoin is a scarce and valuable asset, priced in fiat, which loses purchasing power over time. Double whammy.

Even though over half a year old already, that's an amazing find - new to me. Love it.
