Famous children's author R.L. Stine mentioned the first cryptocurrency in his latest work Goosebumps: Haunted Halloween Movie Novel. The Reddit user under the nickname u/tbaycrypto began reading the book to his child and suddenly found in it several paragraphs devoted to bitcoin. He decided to share his finding with other users. In the story, two children open a secret passage, and then a crate. Characters reflect on what treasures may be contained within. One of them suggests that it could be "gold, diamonds, and bitcoins."
The book was published in coordination with the movie Goosebumps 2: Haunted Halloween, which just came out on big screens. This is the sequel to the 2015 Goosebumps movie. R.L. Stine is called "Stephen King" of children's literature, and its bibliography includes hundreds of books, many of which have been very successful. He sold more than 400 million books worldwide and was named the best-selling author of children's books of all time in 2003.
It should be noted that cryptocurrencies are beginning to find more and more recognition in pop culture and other areas of life. For example, the previously popular board game Scrabble added the word “bitcoin” to its official dictionary. This move was a great gift for crypto enthusiasts. The game is so popular that numerous tournaments are held around the world.
In 2012, the CBS episode "The Good Wife" was released. The wife of the Chicago Attorney defends a lawyer who, under the threat of arrest, keeps the name of his client, the inventor of the digital currency. This is the first recorded output of cryptocurrency on the big screen in a non-documentary film. After that, bitcoin has repeatedly hit the big screens. It was talked about in “The Simpsons”, “The Big Bang Theory” and many other films and TV shows.
