Comedy Cartoon Futurama Introduces Bitcoin and Dogecoin

American comedy animated series Futurama has incorporated cryptocurrency into its latest plot. The episode aired on Hulu on August 7th. The episode is set in the year 3023, where people are still mining Bitcoin, but its price is still unstable. Therefore, people are trying to find new ways to make money, such as mining thallium and selling it to miners. The show also jokingly addresses concerns about the high energy consumption involved in Bitcoin mining and features a "cryptocurrency nation" called "Doge City" named after the popular Dogecoin (DOGE).
