If You Had Invested $100 In Bitcoin When Peter From 'Family Guy' Said "Bitcoin" For The First Time, Here's How Much You'd Have Today

In an episode of Family Guy, the animated sitcom known for its humorous take on everyday life, a significant financial breakthrough occurs after family prayer. Peter Griffin, the show’s protagonist, comes up with an idea to escape financial hardship: Bitcoin BTC/USD.

What Happened: The scene, depicted in an eight-second video clip from Season 14, Episode 11, showcases a conversation between Griffin and his wife, Lois Griffin

Lois says, "Peter, every day our savings get smaller and smaller. We've really got to figure out a better way to budget for this family," to which Peter responds with the word “Bitcoins.”

While Peter’s suggestion is played for laughs, it has taken on a different meaning in hindsight. At the time of writing, the value of a single Bitcoin is over $29,503.

Why It Matters: To illustrate the potential impact, if you had invested $100 in Bitcoin at the exact moment when Peter uttered the word “Bitcoin,” your investment would have skyrocketed to $6,637.08. This represents a profit of 6,537.08% within the given timeframe.

It should be noted that Bitcoin was trading at $445 on the date when the episode was aired.
