Binge watching LAW & ORDER SVU and they mention BITCOIN on the show!

in #bitcoin8 years ago

Who loves Law & Order SVU? I know I do. This is probably the longest running show that I have been watching. I remember watching it with my aunt when I was a teenager. These stories stay lit! I have not seen the latest seasons so I thought I'd catch up on Netflix. The series is very controversial. Dick Wolf, the producer, puts real life hard hitting stories on the table and unfold it's in such a compelling thought provoking way. The show is so good sometimes I hate it -lol!

Ok, so back to the point of this post 🤣
They mentioned bitcoin on Law & Order SVU!


This is a huge deal. Millions of people watch this show. The fact that they mentioned it as a form of payment in Season 16, episode 1: Girls Disappeared is telling of the power of bitcoin.

This is a screenshot of my tablet streaming Netflix. I had closed caption on, so although you can't see the picture you can see the audio. The episode was about a deadly prostition ring and the head honcho "Angel" was running a car service called "Quickride", sounded like a rendition of Uber, and the detective asked, "How does he accept payment?"

He answered, "Some billed monthly, some BITCOIN!

Damn it! I wish I could put up the clip....hold on I'm hitting up YouTube now.....[10 mins later] no go guys. No one has ever singled out that clip and I don't know how to do it. I'll leave you with this instead

😁😎This theme song is so catchy my 1 year old knows it and perks up when it comes on. We got one of those self recording boxes and recorded the theme song and stuffed it in his teddy bear. It is his favorite.

The cast has changed over the serious but I've managed to appreciate each character. Here is when Detective Stabler was one of the stars next to Mariska Hargitay. He was a driving force on SVU for a long time. Ice-T is in this series keeping it real, and if you haven't watched it, you are missing out. Seriously, I not a cops buff, but ai like this show mostly because it gives a little of the ins and outs of the justice system. I know it's mostly exaggerated so, take it with a grain of salt. The show is based on NYC and New York City is raw! Q

@Monkimo This is one of my favorite shows. Post made me miss not having a TV at home other than to see our DVD movies. I will watch till I drop when I go to Washington state on vacation.

Lol, I don't have tv either. I used Netflix on my tablet. I also just finished "la reina del sur" I binge watched 65 episodes. I think u would like it. its is so unthralling!

So you are more advance...lol...I don't own a tablet or have internet access at home. I guess I live partially off the grid. But WAPA better not mess with my electricity...must IRON...lol

Lol. I need internet more than electricity! Must Steem on! Wrinkle clothes n all😇

Nah!!! Not the wrinkle clothes...

liked and followed :)

I love this show so much! Olivia is my role model and I love every single character in the show. Sometimes I think it's a bit weird that I like it so much, because most cases are so horrible. I just like how they all have their own struggles and you get to know them so well!

The news is out there. We might get inundated with new stemian once they research this info that was giving trough law and order. I haven't seen it in a while. I' ll record some episode.
Thanks for keeping us inform.

Yaaaaasssss! I’m an SVU superfan! I was hoping to find someone here on Steemit that loves it too. :)
