When I was a kid, I used to watch Batman Beyond, which was set in the future.

The money they used was called “credits” and was digital, with no banknotes/coins. People would swipe cards like credit cards, but also when doing a bearer asset payment, they would hand a card with credits on it to someone who would take possession of it. The same type of card could be loaded with various amounts of credits for various sizes of transactions. Normal people used the money (it was ubiquitous) but also criminals used it, implying the funds couldn’t be frozen or taken back or anything like that, much like cash.

Turns out they were satscards, I guess.

Indeed! A glimpse of the future.

The new Star Trek communicator to cellphone

Are you sure it wasn’t Satman instead of Batman?

William Gibson and Bruce Bethke both wrote the first Cyberpunk genre books, so the concept of creds comes from them actually.

I love all fiction cyberpunk, including Batman Beyond.

Fiction is great, felon musk is the Batman story but error didn’t happen.

I also enjoyed that show very much. But i was a bit older than a kid back then.

Satoshi - the real world batman

Holy crap! I watched that all the time growing up and totally forgot about this! Thanks for the reminder.

It was always given that something with those properties would come to exist.

Or L3 eCash?

Then why did they call them "credits"?

OPENDIMEs hate him, fiat bills wants to be him

Bolt cards!

Yes, the new bolt cards look so cool, I saw one that lights up

low key good show

In the late 90s there was a show Called Earth Final Conflict. It had a character on that show that was your cyberpunk archetype. He took cash cards for payment. When I saw Satscards I rewatched that show. I think Johnny Mnemonic with Keanu Reeves had a similar thing going.

Are you saying... Satoshi Nakamoto is...

The Batman?

Nostalgia 🌞

Great retrospective insight nostr:npub1a2cww4kn9wqte4ry70vyfwqyqvpswksna27rtxd8vty6c74era8sdcw83a

To be honest I haven’t used one yet but I’m collecting them just so I can move money around privately when I want to.

And now my day is complete

Will likely crawl into fruition, they, the billionaire criminal class enjoy their C-notes or cash in general. Banks are the biggest money launders. What gets me, is all the expletive Zombie flicks and tv 'programming', 'shows', as if they expect us to lay down and march around mindlessly for it all. I'm so enjoying Nostr instead.

Thanks for the heads up ! peace

Batman Beyond is now...

Wen cashu card nostr:npub12rv5lskctqxxs2c8rf2zlzc7xx3qpvzs3w4etgemauy9thegr43sf485vg

Holy Sats, Batman!

You lie jsyk that was a giftcard. Here is a picture of cash with giftcards being robbed from a register in batman beyond.

They use cash everyone shoud know this because the penguin only deals in cash.

batman beyond =D i knew u were a cool cat!

Haha great promo note 📝

Looks more like a credit card to me. Let's not forget that Gotham was probably run by the same people we have in government today.
