The first mention of Bitcoin on a mainstream TV show happened 9 years ago this month.

It came just three years after bitcoin's creation and aired when the price of one Bitcoin would set you back around $6.90 (the price was already double what they recorded it as).

The TV show that mentioned bitcoin was The Good Wife, and the episode was called 'Bitcoin for Dummies' (yes, the entire episode was dedicated to Bitcoin).

In the episode, Alicia (the protagonist) takes on the case of Dylan Stack (played by Jason Biggs), a lawyer who has refused to reveal the identity of his client who is wanted by the U.S. Treasury Department for creating a new digital currency called Bitcoin.

The episode features a surprisingly good explainer on what Bitcoin is, and how it works. You can watch it here.

I wonder how many people this episode sent down the rabbit hole, leading them to the greatest investment (or regret) of their lives.

Coinmarketcap are listing BCH sites as BTC

Under here: https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/bitcoin/ They have links to https://bitcoin.com/ and https://forum.bitcoin.com/ which are no longer BTC sites; they're BCH sites. I'm not good at twitter and don't have many followers but I've tweeted at them here: https://twitter.com/bitplane/status/955918445014585344 Can we raise awareness of this and get them to change it please?

15 years of BTC Power Law

5 years ago I made a post in this subreddit showing that BTC is a power law: Price=A*days^n, (days from Genesis Block), n=5.8. Many didn't believe me and said the past doesn't predict the future. Well, after 5 years it turns out that BTC continues its power law behavior with similar exponent. A power law is not another formula or model but the same mathematical behavior behind river formation, mountains growth, cities development, GDP vs population, and metabolic rate. Everything important is ruled by power laws, so BTC. BTC is a force of Nature.
