Crypto and Blockchain Explained in ‘The Simpsons’ Episode: WATCH

“The Simpsons,” the longest-running primetime TV series of all time, has just included an explanation about cryptocurrency and blockchain in its latest episode. 

This crypto tutorial was voiced by none other than Jim Parsons of “The Big Bang Theory” whose character Sheldon Cooper became the embodiment of the nerd culture.

Parsons touched upon the basics of how decentralized consensus-based cryptocurrencies work. He explained that each separate transaction is recorded on a distributed ledger.

Bitcoin, the coin that started it all, was never mentioned during the episode. However, Parsons seems to know who its creator Satoshi Nakamoto is, according to his text note. 

“Also, we know who Satoshi is, but we are not telling.”
