South Park, the animated television series that often tackles topical issues with a comedic twist, has been shown to be used as a mainstream payment method in the not too distant future.
In the ‘Post COVID’ episode of its 24th season which aired Thursday, South Park portrayed one of the show’s protagonists, Stan Marsh, paying for a cheap motel stay using Bitcoin (BTC) in about 40 years, when the pandemic is jokingly about to end for good. The fictitious Super 12 Motel Plus – in a future where almost all brand names have ‘plus’ and ‘maxx’ included – will only accept ‘Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies’, with the show charging Marsh using a plastic card with the BTC logo and a QR code.
