The Simpsons Predict Infinite Bitcoin Price

On August 17, 2021, the iconic television show “The Simpsons” aired an episode that humorously suggested the price of Bitcoin would surge to infinity. 

The episode in question, part of the show’s 32nd season, depicted a financial news segment where the price ticker humorously displayed Bitcoin with a green infinity symbol next to it. This comical prediction was a nod to the bitcoin frenzy at the time and reflected the show’s cultural commentary on the speculative nature of Bitcoin’s value.
 

“The Simpsons” has a storied history of making eerily accurate predictions about various cultural and political events. This particular episode, while not a serious financial forecast, played into the show’s reputation for its prophetic storylines. The infinite price prediction for Bitcoin was seen as either an extremely bullish stance on the digital asset or a satirical take on the unpredictability and volatility of the digital asset.
 

In the same episode, other fictional financial data points were presented for comedic effect, including wild fluctuations in GameStop shares and a quip about Tesla stock that said, “If you have to ask, you can’t afford it.” These elements underscored the show’s playful approach to current events and market phenomena.
