In the latest episode of the animated series 'South Park', which aired on Wednesday, US President Donald Trump and his connections to cryptocurrency are mocked.
In the episode titled 'Sickofancy', there are scenes where technology company leaders try to curry favor with Trump, lining up to present him with gifts and shower him with praise. CEO of Microsoft Sundar Pichai and venture capitalist, who became the 'king' of cryptocurrency and artificial intelligence in the White House, David Sacks, gift the US president bitcoin.
Trump is constantly criticized for his ties to the crypto industry, as he and his family have created crypto projects and own digital assets. However, this situation was illustrated for the first time in the animated series, which has been on air for almost 28 years.
Indeed, in 2021, there was an episode that discussed the use of unreliable bitcoin as a primary means of payment in the future.
We all decided that the centralized banking system is corrupt, so we trust short-term Ponzi schemes more, one of the characters in the animated series said at that time.
