Reality show to pit Twitch streamers against each other to win 1 BTC
The series’ website issued a notice in May warning of a “fraudulent cryptocurrency scheme” using its branding to lure investors.
The House of Streams, a Netflix series licensed for the UK and Ireland, will feature online streamers in competitions to take home one Bitcoin.

The series will reportedly have Twitch streamers compete in a series of challenges to win 1 Bitcoin (BTC), worth more than $104,000 at the time of publication.
It’s unclear why the Malta Film Commission, behind the production and filming of the show, chose to focus on a cryptocurrency prize for the contestants, but the creator of the series, Mark Holland, reportedly said “…the final reward couldn’t have been a simple cash prize or a trip to the Maldives.” The website issued a notice suggesting that some individuals had already used the show’s association with digital assets to issue a fraudulent memecoin.
