In the latest sign of crypto seeping into popular culture, the hit TV show Tad Lasso dropped a reference to Bitcoin in its Season 2 finale that came out Friday on Apple TV.
The Bitcoin mention comes in a scene where the character Sam Obisanya is torn over whether to stay with his London-based soccer club, or to accept a billionaire’s prestigious offer to join a team in Casablanca.
Speaking by phone from Nigeria, his father counsels Sam to let the universe give him a sign—to which Sam responds by asking if the decision might be too important to leave to the universe.
„The universe has always put me on the right path. The universe told me to marry your mother and to buy Bitcoin in 2009. 2009!” his father exclaims and both characters chuckle.
In 2009, Bitcoin had just started trading and was worth less than a penny. When the Ted Lasso episode aired, its price was over $55,000, which makes Sam’s father a true crypto OG—and a very wealthy man if he held onto it, which the show implies.
