Sep 9th from NYC: In this special edition due to a slow news cycle, we play movie critic in analyzing how Bitcoin is portrayed by Hollywood in Movies and Shows. Here is the TLDR:
1. StartUp – The new show from Crackle is about an alt-coin called GenCoin. The show acknowledges the existence of Bitcoin and other alts (with Made Up names). The show gets a huge Thumbs Up from me and now that I have finished Season 1, can't wait for Season 2.
2. Mr. Robot – Bitcoin was not mentioned in Season 1 but plays a big part in Season 2 with Dark Net markets and E-Corps attempt to create a private crypto currency to eliminate cash. I am not a huge fan of the show and find some of the unrealistic parts (like one corporation being the only bank in the United States or CTO's going gay for carear advancement reasons) too much to ignore.
3. Dope – The move was pretty good and had a good understanding and implementation of Bitcoin.
