Tuttle Twins cartoon about life and liberty goes viral with ‘Bitcoin and the Beast’ episode

Tuttle Twins, a conservative children’s cartoon intended to help teach children how to develop critical thinking skills to push back against modern social activism, recently released a new episode explaining bitcoin that has since gone viral.

The episode, titled “Tuttle Twins: Bitcoin and the Beast,” was shared across multiple social media platforms.

“People are really resonating with the message,” show creator Daniel Harmon told the Washington Examiner. “We had one fan comment about how they were trying to explain bitcoin to someone for seven years. We did it in 20 minutes what they couldn’t do in seven years. So, that’s really rewarding to see. People are understanding it, especially how money that’s hard to create is so beneficial to society.”

The bitcoin episode describes the digital currency as “hard money.”

“Digital money that can be sent directly from one person to another without any bank or government involved, and the best part: it’s hard money,” the episode explains. “Bitcoin is very hard to make more of. Each new coin gets added to the supply only after a computer works very hard to solve a math problem where there’s no shortcut, and solving it costs a lot of energy and time.”

The cartoon, which is now in its second season, is based on the children’s book series written by Connor Boyack. The show, which is distributed by Angel Studios, is based on a crowdfunding production model that broke the crowdfunding record for the most funds raised for a children’s multi-episode show, with $3.7 million raised for its first season.

“I don’t think they are hearing these kinds of messages in other forms of media, for the most part,” Harmon said. “They’re not getting it in schools, not getting it in culture. And for us to talk very clearly about things like rights to life, liberty, and property, about things like bitcoin, inflation, entrepreneurship in a way that kids can understand is very refreshing to parents.”

“It’s something that they’ve been craving for a long time,” he added, speaking of parents’ support of the show, in addition to its popularity with children. “They’re very much noticing that it doesn’t exist elsewhere — that’s why the show is having its success.”

Harmon said the show will release 12 episodes for Season Two, which premiered on March 7. As for the trajectory of the show, Harmon said he does not have a set number of seasons in mind.

“We just want to beat The Simpsons,” Harmon joked. “So, what is that, 35?”
