Official Rating: G
"MoneyCraft, the game where you mine wealth and sometimes throw kids into volcanoes!" The twins are selling their retro MoneyCraft gaming system at a yard sale, but they can't decide who to sell it to: Karinne, who is offering one hundred dollars in US dollars, or Kyle, who has offered to match her price... but in Bitcoin. Which one should the twins pick? Join them as they learn all about cryptocurrency, the block chain, and the Hidden Ruby Cave of Rubies!
Good Parts: The Hidden Ruby Cave of Rubies was mentioned in a livestream as a choice to vote on, and it won! Throughout the episode one may find fun references to past and present technology. As is typical of the Tuttle Twins, great history and educational value are to be found herein, most importantly about Bitcoin. Also as usual, there's lots of funny bits.
Religion: None.
Violence: The twins are chased and thrown into a volcano by a rock monster--who turns out to be their dad, and they're all playing a video game. Grandma set up anti-Karinne booby traps. Grandma pokes a government agent who is spying on someone through their webcam.
Sexual Content: None.
Language: The Tuttle parents indulge in some video-gaming trash talk to Ethan and Emily. Karinne is insulting as usual. Grandma's comments are often double-sided.
Supernatural: None.
Other: Grandma abides by the philosophy of "forgiveness, not permission," a life strategy that only works in VERY select situations and should not be your default. A volcano burps.
Summary: This episode teaches about cryptocurrency with their trademark education and humor! Just remember, as Grandma says, "Investments, although potentially lucrative, are inherently risky." If you want to try crypto, you assume all responsibility for what happens and we advise you not to spend too much on it, like anything you would put your money into. But we accept crypto as payment for all our products... In short, Bitcoin and the Beast is one of the Tuttle Twins' best episodes and is well worth it for everyone to watch! Score 10/10.
