"The Universe has always put me on the right path: the Universe told me to marry your mother, and to buy bitcoin in 2009. 2009!
(They laugh)
- Ok Dad, I will keep an eye out for any messages from the Universe"

Ted Lasso, S02E12, 15:45

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 :
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.

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 ?

Cryptocurrency is mentioned in a Ted Lasso episode, S02E09, at 25:05, by an hotel manager who don't want to lend his phone (he's afraid it's gonna be hacked).

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.

There’s power in script writing. Bitcoin is getting the publicity it deserves.

Farewell, Leo
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.

Decentralization Maximalist
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.

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 Smiley

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.

And in Brooklyn Nine-Nine S08E08, there is a running gag with Peralta investing in all sort of shitcoins and losing money each time. He also buys one or two NFTs.

Thanks, added it to the list. I guess its the first series I know where NFTs are mentioned  Smiley

Thanks, added them to the list. This is exactly the kind of documentation I am looking for at the moment. Will definitely have a look at them.

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.

I just found a nice one!
In 'The Kominsky Method' on Netflix, S01E01, 18:40, one student says: "I'm gonna cash the check, buy Bitcoin. It's the money of the future."

Added both, thanks for the proves Smiley

Thank you for all the submissions. I have reviewed all of them up to this point as far as possible and included them in the list.

This Giant Beast That is the Global Economy: Is Money Bullshit?

Season 1 Episode 7 On  Prime video @ about 19:30

This is the only post I haven't added yet because I couldn't find enough information on it. Do you have a film clip or a film description somewhere that shows Bitcoin or cryptocurrencies? Would be cool, then I would also add it to the list.

Only a brief mention in the trailer---and the bitcoin clip is only O.K.
I'll try to find a full copy----it can be watched for free on Amazon Prime Video

Oh yeah, I remember! That's in the 3rd season I think... Do you know which episode ?

And in Brooklyn Nine-Nine S08E08, there is a running gag with Peralta investing in all sort of shitcoins and losing money each time. He also buys one or two NFTs.
