Crypto historian Pete Rizzo just unearthed a digital fossil: the first time Bitcoin ever graced the television screen. This broadcast event occurred 14 years ago today, back when BTC was worth a mere $3—a price that sounds as mythical as Satoshi's actual identity.
The cameo took place in "The Good Wife," specifically the Season 3 episode "Bitcoin for Dummies." Julianna Margulies' character, Alicia Florrick, casually dropped the line about purchasing one Bitcoin online. Jason Biggs, playing Dylan Stack, delivered the legendary prediction: "It's the future." He also famously defended the pseudonymous Satoshi Nakamoto in court, refusing to dox the creator to the US Treasury—arguably the most based legal stand in crypto history.
Fast forward to today, and that humble $3 investment has skyrocketed by a mind-bending 3,187,230% to over $95,000. Bitcoin has since matured into the digital gold standard, birthing an entire ecosystem of altcoins like Ethereum, XRP, Dogecoin, and BNB, while spawning countless exchanges and even US-approved spot Bitcoin ETFs that Wall Street can't stop buying.
Bitcoin maximalists still insist BTC is the only true king of the crypto zoo, citing its unchangeable 21 million supply cap and pure decentralization—no founder left to tweak the code or crash the party like some VC-backed shitcoin.
