The Bulbapedia page lists regional changes and censorings, but says nothing about the crucifix not being original.
As a side note, the plot summary section is worth a read, holy hell. “…After leaving Acapulco”, “…After being shot with a bazooka by Jessie…”
I think I don’t remember this episode because it’s overshadowed in my memory by the very next episode, Bye Bye, Butterfree.
And the real problem with being a bitcoin multibillionaire is that all transactions are public, and Satoshi’s wallets have never been touched. Though, from this article showing that early, once-dormant accounts are now dumping may mean that they were the true stashes all along, and the Satoshi wallets were just a burn pit (intentionally or otherwise).
Regardless, will be fun to watch the value of bitcoin over this next week.
