This is in reference to shows that expose watchers to the world of crypto in more than a passing way as they have done on popular shows like The Simpsons and The Big Bang Theory. All of this is evidence that crypto is quickly becoming part of mainstream life all over the world.
In 2022, several top TV shows are helping to introduce watchers to the crypto concept and things like crypto exchanges, Bitcoin, and the term blockchain. Here are six shows where blockchain technology and crypto are somehow integrated into the landscape.
