Homer Simpson mines bitcoins
It took quite a bit of time and the words “bitcoin” and “blockchain” have become a commonplace, today we hear them every day. And it would seem, where else could you hear about bitcoin and blockchain? The latest version of the popular mobile game The Simpsons: Tapped Out has a new mention of bitcoin and blockchain technology.
In general, the game has not changed anything except new terms. In a new quest called Crypto Cool, Homer traditionally dodges his job of looking after the nuclear station, playing instead on a tablet in a variety of games.
But, another hero of the game and the cartoon — Martin during a conversation with Homer repeatedly says the word “blockchain” without explaining what it is.
However, he mentions that he has mined on his computer a few bitcoins, then the price skyrocketed. From the dialogues it becomes clear that until last week Martin had never heard of blockchain, but now considers himself a real expert in this field.
And the most interesting thing is that after the quest the user is also offered to stimulate three teenagers and start mining bitcoins on their computers.
