In that sense, The Simpsons managed to predict the appearance of the immersive 3D Internet that everyone knows by the name of Metaverse, as well as the end of all cryptocurrencies.
Furthermore, it can be said that the most impressive of these predictions to date has been the election of President Donald Trump and even Germany's victory over Brazil in the World Cup. That way, whenever something new is shown in this cartoon, theorists worry that it will also happen in real life, making everyone stay tuned for new episodes.
The last prediction of The Simpsons is the creation of virtual worlds, a new way of interacting on the internet through virtual reality.
The season 23 episode "Year's End of Future Past" shows the future of the entire yellow family, as well as various technologies that existed at the time. Also, specifically, Lisa Simpson goes to the Ultranet (what we call the Metaverse) to be able to find her daughter, where she ends up spending a lot of time.
Already the 13th episode of season 31, titled Frikcoin, presents a terrible scenario for all Bitcoin enthusiasts and the cryptocurrency market. This episode shows Mr. Burns trying to destroy the Flink coin, created by Professor Flink.
With that, according to the animated comedy, all cryptocurrencies become worthless if all the equations on the board are solved. The specific equation that is brought up in the series requires it to be proven that SHA 256 (the algorithm currently used in Bitcoin and various cryptographic assets) is not a secure cryptographic protocol. Don't worry, as Bitcoin is also predicted to hit an infinite price in one episode.
