The use to a pov begger of a Bitcoin is the same as the use of a 438.9 ounce gold ingot; it is somebody else's item of value to covet and tell stories about.

According to rumour, it was remarked by a London begger in early 1994 that the total stolen by Ronnie Briggs et al in The Great Train Robbery was less than the total taken by the newspapers and film about it.  The 1969 Micheal Cain film "The Italian Job" took even more.  Therefore making up a fictional robbery story should be more gainful (to someone) than going ahead and doing a robbery for real, and best of all won't get you sent to prison for it.  Next followed the entire pre-draft story "Oceans 12" of a PG rated fictional ideal robbery which must contain no nasty violence of kinds which could cause death or permanent injury (screen knockouts being about the worst), must contain no porn (though strippers could be mentioned and present, just don't show them doing that); their use in distraction of stupid men is allowable where it advances the robbery and shows nothing detrimental to those women.  Blatent distraction of security while the CCTV suspect recognition was tampered with was specified in a way which made it comicly obvious to the audience, on big screens behind the back of the head of security.  That "Oceans 12" predraft-screenplay was put forward as a contingency plan to spend loads of money in Vegas if some other scrounges and plans had made an embarrassingly fat pile of dosh which could not be moved back to London without upsetting the Federal Reserve.  Reportly, the begger was quite amused that the story got made, implying that the pile was quite fat enough to do that.

Now, can anyone make up a PG rated story for 2021 or later (preferably anticipating a few interesting advances in technology, security, and society) implementing a legendary scale cyberheist, and make the whole scam so totally cool that people buy tickets to go and see it ?
