I think the producers of "The Simpsons" create so much content that the percentage of accurate predictions will go up as they create more and more content.  Wink  You only need a wild imagination and a lot of luck to make some good predictions.

They have used almost all the relevant and current topics to boost their creativity, so they running out of controversial issues to give us more entertainment. Every episode is jam packed with laughs... and excellent angles to every topic... so it was just a question of time before they picked Bitcoin and Satoshi Nakamoto.

Having 1 or 2 coincidences is possible but having dozens of coincidences is questionable.
You have to calculate the success rate not just focus on how many of their guesses came true.
For example if I make 10 guesses in total and 9 of them come true, I have a success rate of 90% but if I had made 1 million guesses and only 9 of them came true I have a success rate of 0.0009%.
That's what these shows are, they make some educated guesses about the future based on what is going on in the world and some of them come true that were usually easy to guess too and most remain jokes.

It is true many of the Simpsons predictions have come true. I remember a time I saw an article about how more than 18 predictions made by the Simpsons have come true. It is certain we cannot write all these off as mere coincidence  but how they come about it, one cannot say.

They aren't even 'predictions' to start with. They just created thousands and thousands of skits concerning lots and lots of peoples and places and it's just the case that some events happen somewhat similarly to the skits they made.

Look, if it's the case that in a certain movie a meteor crashed into the antarctic sea and 5 years later it actually happened in real life, does it mean that the movie director "predicted" it?

Same goes with all these Bitcoin price predictors. They just make 100 predictions with $1000 difference and announce them from time to time. Or simply name a random number. But when the price reaches their number, they start saying "look, I was right" or "I told you".

Simpsons already have 700 episodes. That is thousands and thousands of life situations and no wonder some of them identical with real life situations.

Satoshi Nakamoto is Professor Frink !

The Simpsons is notorious for predicting some iconic scenes in history, though I think they're just playing when they placed that message on of the episodes. At this point, if they turn out to be correct (which I know they aren't), I'll be damn sure to pray to the Simpsons gods that are the writers and producers. With the anonymity Satoshi paired with his work, I doubt people would ever find the person/people behind the persona unless they themselves come forward and reveal themselves.
Well, the Simpsons respect people in a way so I don't think that they are going to delve deeper into satoshi's identity because that is an insensitive thing to do to be honest, prying on the privacy of the people and making them exposed without their consent. It has been ten years or so since satoshi has gone dark and the remaining trail to his/her identity is definitely going to be cold so I think that no one is going to be able to know who satoshi really is.

The simpsons will make a comeback to streaming services instead of TV I guess not too far off.

Of course one of the episodes will have special guest Satoshi Nakamoto himself once Bitcoin hits mainstream  Cool Grin

I guess we can wait for that episode if we want to know who is Satoshi Nakamoto Grin

I wonder that will be not a popular person that we already knew because Satoshi Nakamoto is not one person only and they work in a group that separates in many places.

But I do not watch The Simpsons too often, so I do not know much about the serials.

The predictions in the Simpsons are specific predictions instead of general obvious predictions that can apply to anything.

For example a general obvious prediction I can make now is by the year 3000 there will be flying cars. I'm 99% sure that I be right on this prediction or my prediction might happen earlier than the year 3000.

However Simpsons predictions are specific like for example where they will show a car manufacturer logo on a flying car shown in one of the episode where no car company has this logo today, the car company doesn't exist today but come year 3000 and people will see the exact same car logo on flying cars that was aired and shown in a Simpsons episode a 1000 years ago created by a future car company that we don't know about.

The mathematical probability of getting this prediction is like 1 in a zillion, negligible not considered aka impossible.

If you look at it at a mathematical point of view its near 0 chance impossible.

If you look at it a scientific point of view then it simply cannot be explained unless the future flying car company ceo watched 1000 year old simpsons episodes and decided to copyright the car logo from that episode which doesn't add up.

Having 1 or 2 coincidences is possible but having dozens of coincidences is questionable.

You still think that the real satoshi will become a special guest huh? Bitcoin in my opinion already has hit the mainstream so I think satoshi showed himself a long time ago. Most of the Simpsons' episode in streaming services are cropped so I think a lot wouldn't enjoy the subtle censorship that is in the streaming services, they don't need a comeback, they have been here for a long time and I don't think that this is the time that they are going to end.

Judging by past predictions and accurate fulfillments of these predictions, it is important that one does not write this particular one off because it might be true.
I, however, think if Satoshi doesn't want to reveal himself or themselves (if it's a group of people) then we shouldn't bother investigating. Let's just remain grateful for the invention of bitcoin.

The Simpsons is not a crystal ball, you shouldn't expect more than just coincidences from them.

Okay jokes and banter aside lets stick to this serious topic:

In mathematics there's this field called 'Theory of Probability'.

For me to randomly guess a random number between 1-10 and get it right 10 times in a row when I ask someone to think of a random number between 1-10 without telling me is like 1 in 1million I believe (someone check the math), which mathematicians call it near 0 chance aka impossible unless I'm some magician or something lol.

The Simpsons predicted so many things that came true and there predictions are like 1 in a million not like 1 in 10 and they got them right consistently which is impossible when looked at a mathematical view.

I'm sure even mathematician Satoshi himself will be surprised on The Simpsons predictions that came correct.

Sure there's predictions in Simpsons that haven't happened yet like aliens visiting and taking over the earth lol or Robots Ai taking over or time travel or clones or whatever the episodes has shown but just because it has never happened yet doesn't mean it can be ruled out. Also remember scientists say we are not alone in the universe  Grin

I never take all the predictions of the Simpsons cartoon seriously, because the Simpsons show is only a comedy to entertain the audience.
So I never took any of the predictions in the Simpsons seriously, although many articles that say the predictions of the Simpsons are mostly
correct. To me it's just a coincidence, because I don't believe the Simpsons creators have the ability to know the future. But if there are people
who do believe the creators of the Simpsons know that Satoshi Nakamoto's identity is their right, but until now I still don't believe it.

Most of their predictions within past decades have come true to this present day. Its like the producers of this popular cartoon tv show have a crystal ball or something.

In one scene in a episode I don't know which season it shows a crypto holder buying a jet ski with a device that looks like a ledger nano or hardware wallet or whatever. The crypto holder must be rich to walk in a shop and buy his own jet ski lol.

But in that episode the producers wrote a message on screen saying they know who Satoshi Nakamoto is  Shocked

I believe in a future episode they will reveal who Satoshi is when Btc at its price peak or something, who knows?

I'd also very like to learn like many people who really Satoshi Nakamoto is. But I don't think that they actually know that.  Grin  It must have been just for fun that they said they know who Satoshi is but they are not telling. I know that The Simpsons has guessed incredible things correctly so far but I don't think this is also one of them.

I just realized that many of the predictions in this Simpson come true, the question is how can?
I am curious that maybe later there will be an episode where they make Satoshi show himself in public with strong evidence. *only hope from me 'lol'

Nothing more than coincidence their past "predictions". Sure, there's been some pretty good likeliness when it comes to certain events, but we as people are pattern recognizing machines, and therefore we pick out what is familiar in a scene, and relate it back, but ignore much of what doesn't match up. Simpsons, has very likely made several other scenes which may have "predicted" something in another alternate timeline, but if the above post is correct about having predicted things 18 times (this is likely subjective too) compared with the amount of seasons that Simpsons has; which is around 32-35 seasons, with over 700 episodes in total, they've only have 18 scenes which show a likeness to real world events. Considering the creative freedom that a show like Simpsons has, its expected that they'll have these sort of "predictions". Especially, considering how broad some of these predictions are. For example, the horse meat "scandal" was something talked about before it was proven. The auto correct is something which is quite easy to think of. My point is, none of these were particularly outlandish. The equation on the board was probably the most impressive one. However, I wouldn't say most of these are particularly impressive when you consider 700 episodes total, much more scenes than that, and only "18" predicted scenarios. I do believe a few people compared Anthony Joshua VS Andy Ruiz to the scene in The Simpsons where Homer becomes a professional boxer too. Of course, its only so much alike, and not completely accurate down to every level, something which is often overlooked.

However, like I've mentioned there are some instances where its pretty crazy how they predicted it or lead to believe they have some sort of insider knowledge. The Higgs boson equation having being the most impressive. However, getting back on topic I don't think Matt Groaning, and his team actually have much insider knowledge at all, and they are now playing up to the fans by taking part in the "The Simpsons predicts things" movement. So, it goes without saying I don't think they know who Satoshi is, and I don't think it'll ever be revealed in their episodes. They have basically planted the seed in which if they do somehow make a prediction on who Satoshi is, then it will be trending everywhere, and everyone will want to watch The Simpsons from now on for fear of missing out. Although, if nothing happens, and they don't make the prediction it will simply be forgotten with no reputation loss, or viewership loss. Hence, its smart for producers to do this sort of thing.

As for other shows making "predictions" I expect Black Mirror to be one that predicts a lot of things in the future.
Yes, they shoot in all directions with hundreds of bullets, so it's normal they will hit some real things, although most of the shoots will be missed.
The Simpsons TV show works with subliminal message strategy. After an event happens in reality the fans start digging Simpsons' episodes to create a correlation between the event in real life and the TV show episode. Aware of it, Simpsons' directors added the message *we know who Satoshi is*, so if someday Satoshi's identity is revealed fans will find an *evidence* in this Simpsons' episode that will proove they predicted it before everyone else.

I'm guessing that this is the video you're referring to: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SsbLJVMC9nI

And you're referring to this exact part:


..then I'm pretty sure that wasn't meant to be taken seriously.

Why would the creators and producers of the show write that last sentence lol.

So many things Simpsons has predicted in the past that has come true which is strange or a bunch of coincidences that matches the same mathematical probability of impossible  Grin

In this scene they not predicting, they claim they know  Shocked

Maybe the creator of Simpson is just assuming that he knew who is the real Satoshi because even I can say who's Satoshi even if I really don't just to hype people.

World is full of coincidences, luck, and serendipity so it is not that certain that Simpsons can predict everything.

Don't stress yourself too much thinking about who is the real person behind the name Satoshi because that will not help you improve in the market effectively. The Simpson can predict some scenarios but not all the time so it is still a coincidence and full of uncertainty. Don't believe on something you see online, and don't be fooled by animated show's predictions.

Most of their predictions within past decades have come true to this present day. Its like the producers of this popular cartoon tv show have a crystal ball or something.
They actually did some pretty weird predictions with coronavirus, Trump, September 11 attacks and Lady Gaga. They predicted 9/11 before 09/11/2001 and the place where the coronavirus started in China. I have no idea how they've "guessed" these.

But in that episode the producers wrote a message on screen saying they know who Satoshi Nakamoto is  Shocked
If your scene is on the youtube link, mk4 shared, then no. It wasn't to be taken seriously. I don't understand why they chose Sheldon Cooper (from Big Bang Theory) to represent what's cryptocurrency. Although, there was an episode of Big Bang Theory dedicated to bitcoin.

I believe in a future episode they will reveal who Satoshi is when Btc at its price peak or something, who knows?
I hope they will make fun of Craig Wright!  Cheesy
