#simpsonspredictions The endless rise in the price of Bitcoin
In another episode, the showās creators predicted an infinite rise in the price of Bitcoin.
In one of the frames, a stock ticker displays quotes with an infinity sign next to Bitcoin.
Also, in the cartoon, stock quotes for the video game retailer GameStop (GME) are featured. The companyās stock price increases by $1 trillion and immediately falls by $2 trillion. This references the real-life āpumpā of GameStop shares driven by the WallStreetBets movement on Reddit.
Since the episodeās release on April 11, 2021, the price of Bitcoin is still far from infinite. Then, the price of the first cryptocurrency was about $60,400. Now, BTC has lost about 40% of this value, trading at $36,600 at the time of writing.
It should be noted that this is not the first time Bitcoin has been mentioned in the series. Back in 2013, in one of the episodes, Krusty the Clown complained that he had lost all his money on Bitcoins. In the seventh episode of season 25, a billboard appeared on which one of the school bullies offered to transfer his lunch money to him in Bitcoins.Could the Simpsonsā predictions come true?
Many of the Simpsonsā predictions came true in one form or another. No other project has such a number of āhits,ā from the first Apple Watch to the unknown Chinese virus that isolated the entire population of the planet in their homes.
However, when it comes to cryptocurrency, the predictions from the iconic seriesā characters appear overly optimistic. It remains to be hoped for the crypto community that the showās creators still have the gift of foresight and that their forecasts for XRP and Bitcoin growth will ultimately prove accurate.
