Teletubbies are trading coins! A popular children's TV show has posted about Bitcoin and stated that there will be major news this week.
The theme song, well-known and often used to create memes, of the popular British children's show Teletubbies was referenced in an official tweet on Twitter about Bitcoin, introducing Bitcoin to a younger audience.

Teletubbies Speak: Bitcoin
The official Twitter account of Teletubbies posted a tweet yesterday with the #Bitcoin tag, stating:
"What is Teletubbies hiding from us? Stay tuned, major news coming this week."

In addition to the Bitcoin tag in the tweet, the image referenced the recent trend in the overseas cryptocurrency community of the laser eyes.
While the majority of cryptocurrency investors are young people, the Teletubbies audience seems to be a bit "young" for this. Some speculate that the tweet may be a preparation for April Fools' Day, while others believe that as Teletubbies is celebrating its 24th anniversary, they may be planning to release digital collectibles (NFTs) or Bitcoin-related audiovisual content. A netizen commented below the tweet:
"If Teletubbies start educating children about Bitcoin, then banks are truly outdated."
Further investigation revealed that the post referred to Teletubbies' April Fools' joke of introducing "TubbyCoin."

Youth and Cryptocurrency
Interestingly, this is not the first time that the younger generation has been associated with cryptocurrency. In February of this year, a three-year-old girl's video explaining Bitcoin went viral. Lily Knight, the young girl, used candies to explain Bitcoin transactions and the reason behind the high price of Bitcoin.

In addition, Tesla CEO Elon Musk mentioned in February that his 10-month-old son is now a holder of Dogecoin (DOGE).
