Marvel and The Simpsons go by the Crypto.
Crypto is ready for another exceptional year, especially if the representations of the mainstream are any indication. The search for Marvel Comics for Wolverine: Adamantium Agenda n. ° 1 and The Simpsons: Tapped Out are references to the cryptocurrency in their respective stories and adventures in an attempt to capture some of the excitement regarding the future of money.
Mobile games have been the rage for years, and among the so-called freemium games, The Simpsons: Tapped Out is a popular choice within the genre. In the game world itself, Who Shot Mr. Burns, Part 3 (2018) is what is known as the third minor event of this year, and is the 35th least event in the history of the game. It comes directly after the Springfield Jobs 2018 event, which ends in just a few days. Crypto Cool is a limited time line of missions, and is the first mission of the series.
Crypto Cool begins as usual: Homer does not take his work at the nuclear power plant seriously, having fun with games on his tablet instead of working. Players must keep the nerd character Martin talking about blockchain, mentioning it a trillion times, without explaining exactly what he is talking about. At a key point in the game, Martin admits that he only heard about blockchain "last week. But now I act like I'm an expert on it, "echoing a very real occurrence in the current ecosystem.
Available on iOS, Android and Kindle Fire, The Simpsons: Tapped Out has been around for more than half a decade, and is owned by EA Mobile. The game seems to print cash, as it won much more than $ 100 million due to in-game purchases as players try to progress. And in another point of the game, Martin makes reference to the most popular cryptocurrency in the world, bitcoin. He boasts of having "extracted bitcoin with my computer, and then the value has gone through the roof". Then, players who complete the task with Martin are asked to get three more characters to extract bitcoin on their devices.
Enthusiasts agree with the fact that this is not the first topic oriented to cartoons to refer to crypto. Bitcoin has seen light in shows like Supernatural, Family Guy, among others. The good wife, almost human, person of interest and the house of cards have also kissed the metaphorical ring of the phenomenon, so to speak. For The Simpsons, of course, this is not the first either. About five years ago, Krusty has to admit that he was arrested because "all it takes is bad luck for the ponies, worse luck in the bitcoin markets." A year later, Jimbo announces his harassment services and adds that he "accepts bitcoin." Back in 1997, The Simpsons also alluded to cryptography with a landscape in the background: a store called Crypto Barn, A place for codes.
Written by Tom Taylor and illustrated by RB Silva, Marvel's Hunt for Wolverine - Adamantium Agenda # 1 is the story of how, at one point, Wolverine rescued New York City essentially by helping her avoid being hit by a bomb. The act evidently involved self-sacrifice, saving the entire city. Afterwards, he is nowhere. Iron Man, Spider Man, Luke Cage and Jessica Jones join the adventure, involving black markets, family cliffhangers and more.
Marvel has existed in one form or another for almost 80 years. Now owned by The Walt Disney Company, Marvel Comics features creators such as Stan Lee, Jack Kirby and Steve Ditko. Black Panther, Spider Man, Iron Man, Captain America, Wolverine, Hulk, Thor, Daredevil are among his most notable heroes. Marvel has captured a little more market share than its main rival DC Comics.
Because it is governed by mathematics, and its distributed ledger technology is immutable, Hunt for Wolverine assumes bitcoin as a universal energy delivery system often used by robots. In a moment, without giving too much, Tony Stark needs to make payments. It is assumed that, taking into account the type of characters you are dealing with, you will use the usual cash without checking. This time, instead, you must use cryptocurrency. And reference is made to the "risky" reputation of crypto, to which Tony Stark has a funny answer.
Both The Simpsons and Marvel have incredible ranges, from average game Joes to nerds perhaps more inclined towards cryptography. Any impulse to the dominant culture seems to help alleviate fears and dispels the mystery surrounding decentralized money. And that can only be a good thing.
