Crypto Goes to Hollywood!
“The Next Crypto Gem” is an innovative reality competition show set to debut in September, bringing the dynamic world of cryptocurrency into the mainstream. Combining the drama of “Shark Tank” with the competitive energy of “The Voice” and the business acumen of “The Apprentice”, the show will see 16 crypto enthusiasts vying for a six-figure prize worth an estimated $150,000.
Beyond mere competition, the show aims to demystify the often complex field of cryptocurrency, making it accessible and engaging for a broad television audience. The fusion of business acumen, intense rivalry, and the unique twist of focusing solely on cryptocurrency promises to make “The Next Crypto Gem” a standout addition to the reality show landscape.
Judges for the show include notable figures from the crypto world such as Brian D. Evans, Layah Heilpern, and George Tung, and guest stars will feature personalities like Kevin Harrington, an original “Shark Tank” cast member, and controversial crypto YouTuber Ben Armstrong, also known as “BitBoy Crypto“.
Under the guidance of Executive Producer Jett Tang, the show’s primary goal is to introduce cryptocurrency to mainstream audiences for the first time. Tang has designed the program to be both engaging and entertaining, featuring elements of teamwork, rivalry, and innovative, larger-than-life characters.
A significant portion of the show is dedicated to education. One of the initial challenges involves the contestants explaining the fundamentals of blockchain to those who are least familiar with it. This educational thread runs throughout the series’ six-week duration, peppered with what are termed “The Big Short” moments, where judges break in to clarify essential crypto terms or concepts.
While the educational angle is vital, the show isn’t only about learning. It also seeks to capture the essence and flavor of crypto culture, including the industry’s diverse and sometimes controversial characters, such as “BitBoy Crypto,” who has been criticized for promoting certain crypto projects.
Executive Producer Tang plans a series of diverse challenges to fully showcase the various aspects of crypto culture. The inclusion of non-crypto celebrities like professional high-stakes poker player Tom Dwan adds another layer of intrigue.
Viewers can catch “The Next Crypto Gem” starting on September 7 on major distribution platforms like Amazon Prime, Pluto TV and DirectTV, as well as on hardware platforms such as Samsung, Vizio LG, and others.
Interestingly, “The Next Crypto Gem” isn’t alone in the crypto reality show scene. CoinMarketCap announced its show “Killer Whale” in May, focusing on entrepreneurs pitching Web3 projects in a “Shark Tank” style. Another addition to the field is the animated Web3 show “Krapopolis,” set for a September debut and already renewed for a third season.
With the debut of cutting-edge shows like “The Next Crypto Gem” and “Killer Whale,” the intriguing realm of digital currency is now a global spectacle. These shows combine thrilling challenges with insightful lessons, bridging entertainment and education in the crypto universe.
As the excitement spreads virally, we stand on the brink of an entertainment transformation that’s set to reshape our view of money and technology. This is just the tip of the iceberg, as anticipation surges for more crypto-centric series.
Buckle up! The crypto wave has just started!
