The long-running American TV show, “The Simpsons”, known for its satirical and often prophetic content, is known for a lot of unexpected predictions, and this time, it’s for Bitcoin.
What Happened: Episode 18 of Season 32, titled “Burger Kings" aired on 11 April 2021, showcases Marge Simpson’s unexpected foray into the world of stock trading. In a twist that caught many viewers’ attention, the episode seemed to hint at the infinite future of Bitcoin BTC/USD.
The storyline of the episode revolves around Simpson’s fascination with stock trading, particularly with a fictional plant-based burger chain called “Ex-cellent Burger.”
This fictional company is headed by the town’s billionaire, Monty Burns. As Marge delves into investment strategies, she finds herself tuning into an episode of “Crazy Cash,” a possible parody of Jim Cramer’s financial show, “Mad Money.”
During this moment, real-time data on the fictitious market channel catches the viewers’ attention, displaying Bitcoin alongside a green infinity symbol.
Interpretation: The appearance of Bitcoin priced at infinity sparked a wave of interpretation among fans and enthusiasts. Some speculate that the creators of “The Simpsons” express a remarkably bullish sentiment toward digital assets, suggesting that Bitcoin’s value will continue to rise indefinitely.
