Bitcoin is officially cool, thanks to Broad City

A new episode of Broad City season five aired in the UK this week and Bitcoin featured heavily.

For those who don’t know this awesome Comedy Central show, it was created by and stars Ilana Glazer and Abbi Jacobson and was developed from their web series of the same name. It is based on Glazer and Jacobson’s real life friendship, and focuses on their surreal antics and attempts to make it in New York.

In the aforementioned episode, Glazer visits an old flame to cash out her Bitcoin share for around eight grand. All is fine until she runs into some protesters who inform her that Bitcoin is killing the environment. Oh, and it is also the preferred currency of pedophiles.

It’s a genius set up. All it lacks is a cameo by everyone’s favourite crypto/blockchain grump Nouriel Roubini. But, hey, you can’t have everything, right?
