Bitcoin featured in children’s cartoon amid brewing legislative battle
Angel Studios’ Tuttle Twins, which started its second season in March, is in the news for an episode featuring Bitcoin.
Executive producer Connor Boyack, and the author of the Tuttle Twins books, took to Twitter to call the episode the “first cartoon for kids learning about Bitcoin!”
Bitcoin and the Beast
On May 2, the third episode of the TV series Tuttle Twins will be broadcast. The episode is titled “Bitcoin and the Beast”. It delves into the debate about whether Bitcoin surpasses traditional payment methods or is just “settled money”.
Elon Musk is also parodied in the program trailer with Shiba Inu dogs.
The show is known for including political, social and religious themes in its episodes. For example, one of the episodes introduces Gandhi’s non-violent philosophy. The episode contains “the principles of Hinduism and the teachings of Jesus”.
Another episode of the show discusses capitalism and the “true meaning” of free markets.
The website introduces the idea of free markets and at the same time raises the question of whether children today are being “brainwashed”. The Tuttle Twins were referred to as “ring-wing children’s entertainment” in a CNN post. The article made claims that the program champions conservative leaders while defending children against “socialism, Marxism, collectivism and media lies.”
As a popular sermon among conservative parents, the site notes,
“Our books recognize that the world is full of companies, people and politicians who want to expose your children to ideas you don’t support.”
The Tuttle Twins website claims to have sold 4 million copies of their books.
OTT launches amid Digital Asset’s legislative battle
Sherrod Brown and Elizabeth Warren, both Democratic senators, have often emphasized that the Bitcoin industry was created to cover up participation in illegal behavior.
On the other hand, Republican Senator Bill Hagerty has criticized the aggressive enforcement against crypto firms without defining legal requirements. Meanwhile, Congressman Tom Emmer has advanced cryptocurrency interests by advancing proposals favorable to the sector.
Bitcoin has also recently started appearing in many TV shows and movies.
Trust No One: The Hunt for the Crypto King, a 2022 Netflix film, sought to shed light on the mysterious demise of cryptocurrency mogul Gerald Cotten.
Dope was the first movie to offer Bitcoin ticket sales back in 2015. Malcolm, a character in the movie, talks about how “money as we know it is dead.” He soon says that “the world is only going to buy and sell products using Bitcoin,” describing it as complicated mathematical equations.
Meanwhile, content on the broader topic of digital money and virtual currencies dominates OTT platforms.
