Blockchain technology and NFTs (non-fungible tokens) took center stage in the latest episode of The Simpsons. The writers of the highly successful animated comedy already covered the industry in 2020, when cryptocurrencies were mentioned as the currency of the future. And two years ago, in the episode “Burger Kings”, it was mentioned that the price of bitcoin would rise indefinitely. In the recent episode “Wild Barts Can’t Be Token,” Bart accidentally became an NFT and Marge set off into the blockchain realm to save her son.

Some digital artworks have even been faked, due to their speculative nature. Homer (Marge’s husband, Bart’s father) was initially sad about Bart’s digitization, but was later overjoyed when he saw that the NFT was sold for $1.5 million. Incidentally, the first part of the Simpsons series was published in 1987. In the cartoon, the local culture and society are humorously presented through the life of a middle-class American family.

Haribo, Adidas and Lufthansa, for example, built their marketing strategy on NFTs. We also wrote recently that the new star of the NBA was also “sold” in the world of NFTs, and the German hypermarket chain Kaufland came up with a surprising initiative. Taking advantage of the existing bear market conditions, they are trying to woo the younger generation.
