ALBAWABA - The latest episode of the beloved animated sitcom The Simpsons "Treehouse of Horror XXXIV," has gone viral online after making another prediction but this time, it might be for the worse as not many people are fond of NFTs.
The fifth episode of season 35 follows Bart Simpson as he turns into an NFT leaving his mother Marge on the quest to rescue her only son by fighting her way through the blockchain.
On the other hand, her daughter Lisa Simpson turns into a serial killer leading to an outbreak that transforms Springfielders into a plague of lazy, beer-loving oafs.
The Simpsons predict that NFTs are making a comeback
Fans took to social media platforms such as X (formerly known as Twitter) to say that The Simpsons series will predict the comeback of NFTs since the series has always been known to predict the future.
an X user by the name of Legen added that The Simpsons is predicting NFTs will be worth $1,500,000 in the future.
Comments on X included:
"Simpsons are known to predict ze future."
"They never miss. We’re so f$*kng back."
"Matt Groening is frighteningly accurate at making predictions - this time NFTs take the limelight."
Some fans also took to X and posted the full episode for the whole world to see but for legal reasons, we won't be sharing the episode here.
Other users had a conspiracy theory to share and said:
"The Simpsons don't predict the future, the masonic forces behind them create the future."
The rise and fall of NFTs

What was once a fast-paced billion-dollar market is now going down the drain with NFTs such as Justin Bieber's Bored Ape losing 95% of its value.
For those who are not familiar with NFTs, they are a series of similar-looking images drawn by digital artists but instead of selling them for real money, they are sold using cryptocurrency such as Ethereum. They can't be copied or changed for legal purposes in case of theft or fraud.
It was born in the desire to make cryptocurrency more than just a currency but something people could own digitally, hence the series of artworks.
The sector first gained traction between 2018 and 2021 according to Verdict UK and at its peak, the market saw a 60-fold growth.
It was mostly prompted by rich people, celebrities, and artists who all shared the same goal of making bank in a short amount of time and that's why NFTs didn't last long but knowing The Simpsons, could NFTs be making a comeback in the future?
