Cryptos in shows and movies

Hello gents,

I started watching the new Netflix show called Beef (I’m only through the first episode, so no spoilerinos please) and I noticed something that I never noticed before: cryptocurrency is mentioned in the show. Not only that, they even show the main character using the Coinbase app.

First thing, It is the first time I noticed cryptos are mentioned in any mainstream show or movie. I would like to hear from you if there is any other case where cryptos are mentioned, and even shown, in a movie or a show. I found this to be pretty interesting.

Second thing, of course the way It is represented is not really a positive one: the main character first defines it as "gambling" and then puts a huge amount in it (about 20k usd, did not really notice if the actual coins/tokens He invests in are shown) and then loses almost everything in a couple of days (It shows the balance dropping to about 2k usd in a couple of days).

On one hand, I think It is cool that cryptos are starting to be present in shows/movies; in a way It makes It feel kind of "more real" (If that makes sense). On the other hand though, I did not really like that It was shown as the way the main guy loses a bunch of money (even though the guy clearly gets into It without even knowing what It is).

PS this is not a post about the show, It just served to kickstart the my thoughts lol
