Benzinga - In an episode of Family Guy, the animated sitcom known for its humorous take on everyday life, a significant financial breakthrough occurs after family prayer. Peter Griffin, the show’s protagonist, comes up with an idea to escape financial hardship: Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC).
What Happened: The scene, depicted in an eight-second video clip from Season 14, Episode 11, showcases a conversation between Griffin and his wife, Lois Griffin.
Lois says, "Peter, every day our savings get smaller and smaller. We've really got to figure out a better way to budget for this family," to which Peter responds with the word “Bitcoins.”
While Peter’s suggestion is played for laughs, it has taken on a different meaning in hindsight. At the time of writing, the value of a single Bitcoin is over $29,503.

Why It Matters: To illustrate the potential impact, if you had invested $100 in Bitcoin at the exact moment when Peter uttered the word “Bitcoin,” your investment would have skyrocketed to $6,637.08. This represents a profit of 6,537.08% within the given timeframe.
It should be noted that Bitcoin was trading at $445 on the date when the episode was aired.
