The Simpsons, XRP at $100K, and Bitcoin at $1? You Won’t Believe Who Fell for It!

Oh, do come in and pull up an ottoman, darling. You simply must hear the latest teapot tempest that’s brewed up in our caffeinated corner of the internet. Some crypto character calling himself “WillyWonkaXRP”—I suspect he wears a very tall hat and a mischievous grin—has declared with all the subtlety of a circus barker that The Simpsons have foretold XRP soaring to $100,000 (one presumes per coin, rather than per supermarket loyalty card), and Bitcoin nosediving to $1, which would barely finance a 1992 episode of the show.

The claim is lashed to the hull of a so-called ‘Season 38’ episode. Do indulge in a wry smile here: Season 38, as per the gospel of Fandom Wiki, won’t even grace television screens until the autumn of 2026. As for winks, whispers, or rogue animators scribbling crypto madness into Springfield lore—absolutely nothing from reliable sources. Not even a crumb.

In all likelihood, dear reader, the X post in question is a fine specimen of internet satire: grandiose, suspiciously specific, and tailor-made for the delightedly gullible. It’s riding the coattails of The Simpsons’ prophetic reputation and the dollar signs swirling in crypto enthusiasts’ starry eyes.

The video also posits—brace yourself, Basil!—that Bitcoin collapsing to a solitary dollar is all a ruse for XRP’s inevitable coronation as the new world currency. Yes, and I suppose Marge is the next Federal Reserve Chair. The wild notion has, of course, been catapulted into stardom by virtue of attracting hundreds of thousands of gawkers, most of whom were, I suspect, searching for sense in all the wrong places.

All this, despite the sheer improbability, is a demonstration of social media’s wondrous knack for wafting nonsense into the stratosphere—a sort of digital soufflé forever threatening to collapse under the weight of its own absurdity.

To be frightfully clear (one must, occasionally): While The Simpsons do have a rather unusual batting average when it comes to predictions, this delicious little tale of XRP’s triumph and Bitcoin’s swan dive is, alas, as authentic as Krusty the Clown’s stock tips. Pure amusement, with a generous dusting of delusion. Pass the sherry.
