THELOGICALINDIAN - UK soap opera Coronation Street playedits allotment in adopting cryptocurrency acquaintance this anniversary with a storyline involving theimaginary WhipCoin
Coronation Street is the worlds longest active TV soap opera, with a regular audience of about 8 million. In the programme, Ryan Connor, a semi-regular appearance back 2006, has gambled abroad the money he becoming DJing in Ibiza. He again remembers advance 50 quid (£50) in WhipCoin several years ago. A quick internet chase and he realizes that his advance is now account £250 million.
If alone he could bethink his password!
Luckily, he wrote the countersign bottomward in a archetype of Gazza: My Story (the adventures of footballer Paul Gascoine), so the chase for the book begins.
The book turns out to be absolutely extraneous as Ryan assuredly remembers his countersign in a ‘lightbulb’ moment. Excitedly logging-in to his WhipCoin wallet, he realizes that his antecedent internet chase was hopelessly out of date. His advance is now worthless.
Okay, so it’s not the most absolute delineation of cryptocurrency, but one could hardly allege it of actuality unrealistic. The writers acutely apperceive their stuff, and the actuality that they accede cryptocurrency a acceptable storyline for such a above appearance is absolutely positive.
People (falsely) affirmation that ‘there is no such affair as bad publicity’, but on this occasion, they ability be right. There can’t be a huge overlap in the demographic who watch the show, and those with an absorption in cryptocurrency. So a ample allotment of 8 actor bodies are now abeyant googling “cryptocurrency” and “WhipCoin.”
Possibly a comedy on the average of arctic English folk actuality ‘all collapsed caps and whippets’, although this is authentic conjecture. Coronation Street is set in the fabulous boondocks of Weatherfield in Greater Manchester and generally makes ablaze of such cliches.
It’s appealing accessible that WhipCoin is meant to represent bitcoin. Appealing accessible if you already apperceive article about cryptocurrency, that is.
However, we shouldn’t be afraid if some active smart-arse launches a WhipCoin ICO in the abutting few canicule to capitalize.
