Te Simpsons is a visionary show.
They talked about trump as president before he was elected.

Thanks for sharing.

Yes it was back in 2000. It was the episode when lisa became president or something like that.
They have done it in the past again and again. It ceases to amaze me how accurate future predictors they have become.
I think they did one of tesla and elon going to mars one day too.
Anyways, I was late on this episode as I posted it on another thread way later then seeing this post. Lips sealed

This picture makes me think. lol
Well, several times this cartoon shows some events where some time later becomes a reality, like when the election of President Trump.
For those who like a conspiracy, this will definitely be a good material to be connected. Though it could be just a joke and coincidentally happened. Everyone has a different view, of course, and I am more relaxed.

The last line got my attention because it says "we know who Satoshi is, but we're not telling." I don't know whether to believe this or not because it's just a mere cartoon but this part is really interesting. This episode was already talked on twitter and even the Binance tweet this. I want to look more on the video to look for a hint or something that's related to crypto. What do you think about this episode?

Will Craig Wright appears in the next episode? let's wait Roll Eyes

IMO, this cartoon is truly extraordinary. many of the predictions presented in this cartoon have become reality now.. Cryptocurrency is "Cash in the Future" and hopefully, this prediction will become a reality in the future.

Even though I believe, like many others, that this show has degraded a lot, and its best times are deep in the past, it is still influential, so it's great that there was a talk about cryptos there. It's still watched by millions of viewers, so it's quite a big advertising for Bitcoin. As for that visionary stuff, I remember South Park did a whole episode on the impossibility of doing original stuff because Simpsons already did that. So my point is that there's been so much stuff there that some of it actually came true. It reminds me of "The Library of Babel" by Borges where there's literally everything that has ever been or will be written.

The Simpsons have always given messages of that style, it is impressive because in a program that I saw of them, the scriptwriters look for specialists in each subject, in a chapter Homer placed some formulas of quantum physics, but they were formulas of current demonstrations, they were not fiction , in the case of Bitcoin they are showing in some way the future that exists, the great development that brings humanity apart, they talk about Satoshi, that is recognition, I am sure that many bitcoin skeptics are beginning to take the crypto world seriously.

They have to, its impossible to know about everything. Maybe they even consulted people that participates in this forum, or did some research that landed them here.

This IS Satoshi's forum, after all, with many Satoshi posts and all.

They sure took their time to remember Bitcoin, since 2014 no more Bitcoin mentioning? really? That's disappointing. And i do remember that billboard...

Well at least their joke about Satoshi did not point to any of the faketoshis...

This is one damn creepy cartoon to be honest. There are way too many events predicted in episodes for me to consider them purely coincidences. If they had predicted once or twice it would've been something, but it happened so many times I can't even count.

The Satoshi part is honestly really interesting. If these "conspiracy theories" are true and Simpson is directed by some shadow figures, then my older question pops up in my head once again: what if Bitcoin was created by some of the most powerful figures in the world in order to give us a false image of freedom when, in fact, the true purpose of it lays in providing us a smoother transition from fiat to digital?

Very interesting indeed..

The Simpsons is a shadow of its former self, the show went from having above 20 millions of viewers to below 4 millions as of now.

Yeah, but look how long the show has been on the air! It would be hard for any show to remain relevant for that long--30 years if I'm not mistaken. Anyway, the Simpsons has been incorporating contemporary issues into its episodes for quite a while now, so I'm not shocked to see this. It's kind of cool, actually.

The Satoshi reference is just a joke to those in the know. It's their attempt to be clever, which is another hallmark of the Simpsons.

I saw a detailed exposure of these predictions in The Simpsons. And I'm really glad that they advertise cryptocurrency, but this has nothing to do with the fact that it will somehow affect real life, it's ridiculous Grin

Well, we never know how complex people's minds function, people tend to take jokes seriously and serious matters as a joke. And The Simpsons is quite successful in that, confusing people on what is a joke and what is not.

Nevertheless, this is quite an advertisement for the crypto industry.

That's why I find it interesting, it's also because some of their predictions came true and in this episode, they mentioned something about cryptocurrency being the future cash. They're talking about the future. And because of the Simpsons correct predictions, we can expect that what they said will happen in the future.

It is either a coincidence or someone made it happen. If it is the latter, then we can say people behind The Simpsons are very powerful and influential.

Degen in the Space

There's a lot of vision that came true from that cartoon show.
The recent vision of that show was when Kobe Bryant die.

Try to read more here:

The Simpsons Accurately Predicted the Future

Even it's a show, there's a probability over 50% that the content of that episode might happen in the future 'cause why would they make a joke with specific details of what happened? It's too accurate.

The Simpsons' author said to be a time traveler, I wonder how that is possible? Anyways, I'm excited about the revelation of the real Satoshi.

Wait till Simpsons start to talk or predict cryptocurrency prices and buy/sell it. Because what they show during the cartoon usually happen in real life (like showing Trump would be a president). I trust them more than to any other predictors that shows market graphs and analizes it Wink

Some of their predictions were right and that's very fascinating. If ever they will predict on bitcoin's price in the future, I don't think I'll rely on it that much. I don't even rely too much on other predictions when it comes to Bitcoin prices. But if ever they will make predictions and it will come true, then that is something. But don't expect too much that they'll make predictions about it.

Bitcoin needs you!

Any mention of Bitcoin in mainstream TV , has got to be good for adoption.
In fact bitcoin has been mentioned at least twice in the past in The Simpsons

1. Episode 7 Season 25 - Yellow Subterfuge -2013
Krusty talks about his bad luck in the Bitcoin market
2. Episode 1 Season 26 - Clown in the Dumps - 2014
The bully Jimbo Jones is pictured on a billboard, that says he now accepts bitcoin

On a final note here’s a Bitcoin Bart figure

Simpsons are a comedy show so this is made for funn. They talk on a funny way on all sorts of thems and persons so I don't actually see any special relevance regarding Bitcoin. If you think appearing in Simpsons was kind of progress for Bitcoin or a marketing move, no it's not, it's only a funny stuff.

I don't request loans~

If this was before Bitcoin was initiated, I would've wowed at it. The Simpsons of the past were well known for producing episodes that actually happen in the future. Coincidence or not, this brought Simpsons a lot of attention plus, it was really enjoyable. But that was back then. I believed the Simpsons of today is a shadow of its former self, and well, isn't really anything good.

Plus, it's a marketing campaign/joke. I mean, why wouldn't Binance talk about it? It features crypto after all. Why wouldn't it be shared to The Simpsons? It's getting quite relevant after all, especially in the major countries such as US and China.

I highly doubt that they know who Satoshi is - probably just a marketing gimmick..

It's great that cryptocurrencies is featured in a classic cartoon that many Americans and not only, have emotional attachment to. Overall it is a simple explanation of how crypto works and I think it should be kept this way. Most people are not technically-driven although they should be!

It's not a marketing gimmick.It's a joke.
The Simpsons are joking with Bitcoin,which is perfectly fine.I'm OK with that.After all we,the crypto supporters and enthusiasts are not a religious sect.We can handle a joke or two and maybe laugh,if the joke is really funny,which isn't the case.I'm waiting for other popular animated shows like "South Park" or "Rick and Morty" to start talking about Bitcoin.Love it or hate it,Bitcoin is becoming a part of the western(and global) pop-culture.

Have you seen the video of The Simpsons talking about cryptocurrency in episode 13, season 31 on February 21, 2020? The short clip is about when Jim Parsons gave a brief explanation on what is cryptocurrency and blockchain's function to crypto. Here's a YouTube link for the video if you want to watch. I suggest that you should watch it. It will only take 1 minute and 49 seconds of your time.

It's amazing that cryptocurrency is also being shown in an episode of The Simpsons. I remembered that they have also mentioned Bitcoin before in an episode, I just forget what episode. But what's more, fun is that we're aware that there are times where The Simpsons predicted the future. There's this line in the video where a ledger character is singing and said

Quote

"Each day I'm closer to being cash of the future. Not in your wallet, I'm in your computer"

This idea is already starting since we're slowly achieving mass adoption. Although they didn't mention Bitcoin in this episode with this, it gives me strongly believe that crypto can soon be widely accepted and can be the cash of the future. Also, this statement was shown in the video

The last line got my attention because it says "we know who Satoshi is, but we're not telling." I don't know whether to believe this or not because it's just a mere cartoon but this part is really interesting. This episode was already talked on twitter and even the Binance tweet this. I want to look more on the video to look for a hint or something that's related to crypto. What do you think about this episode?

Is there anything that the Simpson's haven't talked about ? They have talked about everything and everyone .
I do not think that they would know who Satoshi is , I mean why would they ?
They are just trying to stir up some passive advertising. This is a well known trick that the companies uses therefore I do think you don't need to actually focus on something like this .
At least they are brave enough to teach their audience about things like these . Good thing for us Cheesy
