The science fiction series based on the cyberpunk novel "Bay City" by Richard K. Morgan, Altered Carbon do not It could have been filmed in its version for the small screen without the use of cryptocurrencies.
Here there is one screenshot taken from one of the episodes of the second season:
Altered Carbon optimistic towards Ethereum
Those who enjoyed entering prices using blockchain based trading systems They had very clear ideas about the future of prices in this sector.
Certainly, the expectations of the authors, taking into account the price tags on the shelves of the store where the actress moves, They see Ethereum today as a very underrated project.
The same product costs:
In a dystopian future in which technology will allow our memories to be transferred from one body to another, Ethereum will be appreciated ten times against Bitcoin in Comparison with current prices.
Once again, among filmmakers and producers, there are financial and affectionate analysts They do not miss the opportunity to comment.
Cryptocurrencies for the exchange of goods and services.
The question arises why it is still a science fiction issue imaginar an exchange of goods with cryptocurrencies. Probably because, despite the great success of the last decade, these instruments lThey are used as a means of payment.
A very speculative and small market like the cryptocurrency market suffers intense volatility. Price shocks and a high emotional coefficient are enemies of the currency used as a medium of exchange.
Although there is a large part of the community that still has high expectations of seeing your favorite cryptocurrency used to drink coffee or buy bread, the sector is looking for alternative models To find greater adoption.
Stable coins could become the killer application of the underlying blockchains, that through a token linked to a stability managed by mathematics, they could finally see adoption in stores as well.
We are not talking about centralized stable currencies such as USDT, of course, but those more similar to DAI.

As you can see, the reality sometimes beats science fiction and what this sector is experiencing has already surpassed what seems to be the future in a series set in the 2400s.
However, Altered Carbon can be so advanced that it has already experienced the period in which stable currencies will help adoption. Maybe in the 2400s, we could finally see that the same cryptocurrency is used as a store of value and medium of exchange.
