On December 31, 2011, bitcoin ended the year at a value of $4.60. The much needed boost came after TV show, The Good Wife aired an episode called, “Bitcoin for Dummies” on December 19^th reviving awareness and interest in Bitcoin.

The episode focused on an attorney who was protecting the identity of his client, “the creator of bitcoin”, from the US Treasury’s demand for his identity and prosecution. The show inevitably sparked real world intrigue over bitcoin’s mysterious founder, and the prospect of bitcoin being a threat to the US Dollar, as it reached out of the tech sphere, and into the common household viewership of America.
