It makes it so more people will be interested in bitcoin. It is a sign that bitcoin is common enough that many people will understand when it if referenced in 'pop culture'

By affirming to the ignorant suspicion that bitcoin is an anonymous payment system used by the underworld to circumvent detection?

it doesn't strike me as bad. It's clear that it's anonymous. I think it's awesome exposure! The slight pause makes the word more noticeable, and it is used as part of the story line, drawing just enough attention to it.
"Prepaid with gold coins" / "prepaid with bitcoins" - nice. I like it!

"Anonymous" isn't exactly something that most people cares as much as the ones who frequent this forums do(besides, bitcoin isn't exactly anonymous).The fact the line was spoken by an outlaw pretty much means they're trying to invoke an underworld connotation .While it may not exactly be a bad (they could do it a lot, lot worse)it may just draw enough attention for audience to conclude that it a "criminal thing" without bothering to look it up.Perhaps if a different type of character(nerd, political activist,fringe economist etc) saying might be less jarring to me.

I'm more interested in the tv's show context ,though.Too bad we don't air that show here.Anyone can provide a summary of that episode?
