Bitcoin is mentioned in the first episode of the second season of The OA (Netflix) series when a woman whose missing daughter comes to a private detective to ask for help - and when asked if she has money, she shows a mobile wallet with 30+ ETH, and a friend of the detective explains that it's something similar to Bitcoin.

yep confirmed:

She wants to know if you'll help look for her granddaughter.

00:04:48
She got any money?

00:04:58
What is that?

00:04:59
Ether.

00:05:01
What's ether? Is that some kind of, like, digital currency? Is it like a bitcoin?

00:05:10
She was getting it on her phone.

00:05:12
It's basically virtual money, but...

00:05:14
...it says here she's got $31,000.

00:05:18
Then why is she homeless?

2. Hacker - There they also used it.
3. Unfriended Dark Web

Could not find any hint on the web that Bitcoin is mentioned in these movies. Can you provide more information like where it is mentioned (at what point in the film) or do you know any Youtube clips?

Movie name - Hacker
Used bitcoin - watch from 41:15 ( Movie link )

Movie name - Unfriended Dark web
Used Crypto - Movie part

Leave no FUD unchallenged

'South Park: Post Covid' special (set several decades in the future) mentions Bitcoin at 10:02 and (as you'd probably expect) not in a particularly flattering way. Grin

A motel reception worker:

Now, of course, we only take Bitcoin and other cryptocurrency 'cause, you know, it's the future. We've all decided centralised banking is rigged, so we trust more in fly-by-night ponzi schemes.

In the second season of the German-Luxemburgian fictional series "Bad Banks" (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt6258718/) Monero gets some protagonism, as two of the main characters (who are bankers doing some shady business) use it to hide money and pay a group of Ukranian developers for work their team should normally do themselves. Bitcoin is mentioned too, but they finally choose Monero for the operation.

It's in Season 2, Episode 4, at around 8:20 (scene starts at 7:35, just checked it). A wallet is shown at ~10:00.

Thanks, I watched the series myself and liked it but could not recall the scene. So I did a short rewatch and can confirm

Added to the list.

In Homeland, Season 7 Episode 2, Carrie Mathison's laptop is infected with a ransomware and the hacker asks for $5,000 in bitcoin in order for him to decrypt her hard drive. Honestly, I hate that we keep seeing Bitcoin as a criminals' tool to blackmail people.

I think it's being mentioned somewhere in the middle of the episode; didn't see the exact minute.

Thanks, added to the list. Surprisingly this is the first entry of Homeland in the list, even I read that in an recent article that they must be several mentions of BTC in the series.

I know there are still some submissions open. I will check them in the next days and add them to the list.

There have been a lot of series and movies in which Bitcoin has appeared and with the popularity of the cryptocurrency increasing, I expect many more series to present the subject of Bitcoin to the general public. This is just a need to actively attract the attention of viewers who mistakenly promote BTC widely. The movie aims to help people know about BTC and bring BTC closer to users, maybe they want to imply that BTC will be a widely used technology currency in the future.

Since late 2017, bitcoin was mentioned almost daily in different news channels. Although it's still better to be mentioned in art works as it could reach larger community. Not everybody is watching the news nowadays Cheesy

Did anyone have notice this topic :

Quote from: OgNasty on October 08, 2021, 05:58:04 PM

I was surprised to see Bitcoin mentioned in the Ted Lasso finale. That has to be one of the most popular shows out right now on AppleTV and nowadays that’s barely newsworthy. We’ve come a long way…

In the scene a man on the phone says he bought Bitcoin in 2009 and repeats 2009 while laughing. Pretty cool.

I checked Op of there is a field for Tv shows but found nothing. This so cool to see bitcoin in one of the most popular shows nowadays.

Quote from: isen on October 18, 2016, 04:16:41 PM

I haven't seen any of the movies or series mentioned above(some of them were added to my watch list) but I will watch this one for sure https://cointelegraph.com/news/coen-brothers-take-silk-road-story-to-big-screen-oscar-in-view
I'm excited and hyped since Coen brothers are among my favorite directors/writers and they are going to write the screenplay about silk road and Ulbricht's case I don't know if this is going to bring some bad publicity to Bitcoin but I am almost sure that the result will be great.

I looked for the movie announced five years ago according to this quote. Does anyone know about this project if it's suspended or still under work ?

TV show
FBI international # Season 1 Episode 3 # 05:21

subtitle - edited to be more conversationally readible

But Swiss police got that these two were hired transporters moving four cryptocurrency wallets to a place called Wellix, a cryptocurrency vault in the Alps.

- I've heard of that place-- it's basically the Fort Knox of cryptocurrency on the planet.

- Full disclosure: my grasp on cryptocurrency wallets is similar to my grasp on "Finnegan's Wake,"

- which is to say loose, in a nutshell. Wallets are the equivalent to a safety deposit box.
If you don't have a crypto wallet, your coins are sitting on an exchange somewhere online.

There were some online hacks in the past that caused some concern over this. Hacks are less likely today,
and companies are being held to higher safety standards, but some people still feel safer having their coins in a wallet. The downside is, if your coins aren't online, they're essentially sitting on a flash drive, or wallet.

If you lose the wallet, you lose it all. Speaking of, this guy in London is paying the city 7 million pounds
to search the local dump to find a hard drive he tossed, the one with 27 million in Bitcoin on it.

I think you should include songs though.

Oh, I think it's a great idea when there are already so many songs Bitcoins is mentioned. Unfortunately, for professional reasons, I currently have very little time. I plan to have another thread which expands the fields of where Bitcoin has entered the mainstream (shouldn't someone do that before me Wink

Thank you for the submissions. I would like to include them in the list, but if this thread also list such daily shows, then the list quickly becomes much too long. That's why I would limit it to movies, series and documentaries. Maybe that would be an idea for a new thread. Nevertheless I gave you some merits for it

Yeah, I don't think mentions on these sorts of shows or other news programs should qualify them for inclusion here. There'd be far too many and I don't think it would be notable. I think you should include songs though. I can think of a handful of rap songs where bitcoin has been mentioned. I'm sure there's a lot more out there too but not so many that it'd become a mess or unable to keep on top of them.

Anyway, if you wanted to add songs here's probably the biggest one:

Eminem's Not Alike:

https://cointelegraph.com/news/bitcoin-gets-a-mention-on-rapper-eminems-new-album-kamikaze

Quote

Rappers Eminem and Royce Da 5’9’ have collaborated several times throughout their careers, having recorded a combined 66 songs that have made it into the Billboard Hot 100 record chart.

Eminem announced his tenth album “Kamikaze” in a tweet Friday, August 31, without much preceding promotion. According to Forbes, in "Not Alike," the ninth track on the new album, co-starring Royce Da 5’9’ sings:

"Remember everybody used to bite Nickel, now everybody doing bitcoin."

The line is described by Forbes as an important sign of Bitcoin’s presence in mass culture and the realization that the cryptocurrency has a range of use cases beyond criminal.

I don't know if this has been mentioned before so I will just delete this if it's already mentioned. It's a small mention though. In one of the episode in the TV series Ozark, Marty. Byrde's son Jonah is trying to copy what his father does which is money laundering, he says that we was using cryptocurrencies and some unknown game items to circulate the money that was given to him because before that, they were trying to escape the cartel that they work for and Jonah has his own side hustle in school, making essays for the bullies.

It's not yet in the list. Do you have further prove? Season and Episode would be great to know.

Of all the TV series listed, I didn't expect Supernatural to be one of them to mention bitcoin or cryptocurrency. In the movies, the Deadpool one is hard to find since it's probably not that shown explicitly but as just some sort of easter egg. This is a nice list, although I can't add any since it's been so long since I've watched a movie.

Quote from: Remsjack on September 18, 2021, 10:51:36 AM
