it is great to see these types of programs come out recently that are covering cryptocurrencies. i just hope they don't turn into a hype and advertisement of different altcoins just because the creators have some stake in that altcoin and want to make profit.
in this case i really hope they cover things such as centralization of Ethereum, its premine, the lack of immutability and other issues on top of explaining what it is and what it does.

What's the point of posting such thread here with that kind of Subject title? You can put it on Off-topic if you want to talk about Netflix.

Netflix is a great platform to introduce cryptocurrency. Their subscribers apparently already know bitcoins, and now Netflix introduces the altcoin ether to their hundreds of millions of subscribers worldwide.
The way people in the series was earning ether was from a game, young people already know digital money in games, and later on, they will use cryptocurrency as a natural thing.

In episode one of the second season of the Netflix sci-fi series OA, we are introduced to the cryptocurrency Ethereum.
Around 5 minutes into the opening scene of episode one, we meet an older homeless immigrant woman, who needs help from a private inspector, she doesn’t look like she have any money, but when she was asked for money, she quickly navigates on her Smartphone and find her Mobil wallet, where she has $31.000 of Ethereum. We are then told that Ether is virtual money, a digital currency just like Bitcoins.

Without making any spoiler, we later learn that ether is used as prize money, smart people can win on a Smartphone game, the better they are, the higher the payouts.
