To go with fictionalized cryptocurrency, some cryptocurrencied fiction: OCEAN’S ELEVEN: Danny Ocean, The Organizer, gets a crack team back together to pull off One More Big Heist—of an online casino. He recruits The Acrobat, The Demolitions Expert, The Pickpocket, The Two Expert Mechanics, The Inside Man Who Works At The Casino, and The Hacker—and then he fires everyone but The Hacker, sits in a Starbucks for twenty minutes guessing the right password, and makes off with millions of bitcoin. Or, rather: logs off with. The End. PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: Captain Jack Sparrow, drunkenly interrogating an ancient mariner at a pirate speakeasy, hears tell of a USB stick with millions of bitdubloons that the Dread Pirate Blackbeard had on him when he sank in the Bermuda Triangle. As everyone knows, USB sticks aren’t waterproof, and those funds are mathematically impossible to recover. The End. THE MATRIX: Nothing changes for Neo one day when he learns that he lives inside The Matrix, a new virtual currency. While he admits that such an existence has no intrinsic worth, he is afraid to leave “because what if the price skyrockets, and I miss out?” And besides, getting in or out of the Matrix entails a small fee. The End. SCARFACE: Cuban ex-con Tony Montana arrives in ‘80s Miami with dreams of both being a drug kingpin AND snagging a hot wife to match. Unfortunately for him, the Silk Road—a site on the dark web where people can anonymously buy illegal substances via bitcoins—has long run mom-and-pop drug empires out of business, Amazon-dot-com style, through a combination of customer convenience and economies of scale. Tony works, peacefully, as a dishwasher in a diner. The End. ALADDIN: Jafar, advisor to the Sultan of Agrabah, marries the Princess Jasmine after many years of canny political maneuvering against her dim-witted father. There was a magic cave full of legendary treasure that could have shaken things up, but it’s protected by strong encryption and no one can open it. The End. THERE WILL BE BLOOD: Prospector Daniel Plainview discovers a bitcoin mine in his computer. He doesn’t go crazy or anything, because everyone’s computer can be a bitcoin mine—you just download the program. No one gets hurt, especially not Paul Dano. The End. BREWSTER’S MILLIONS: Montgomery Brewster is in the bathroom one day when an email tells him he’s inherited 7 million bitcoins from his uncle—but there’s a twist: he only gets the 7 million if he can spend a separate, 1 million bitcoin inheritance from his grandfather within one year, under strict stipulations in the relatives' respective wills, both of which were implemented as “smart contracts” on what is known as “the blockchain”. There’s a bug in grandpa’s smart contract which makes the rules trivial to circumvent, and the anonymized nature of bitcoin makes it impossible for the ludditical old executor to enforce the will via his normal legal means. Brewster does some cursory googling, launders the first million bitcoins through a server in the Cayman Islands, and inherits all 8 million of the bitcoins before he gets off the toilet. The End.
