Title: Bitcoin on BBC 'Click' Post by: FFMG on June 08, 2013, 06:50:27 AM Did anybody catch the segment about Bitcoin on the BBC click show?
I'll post a link as soon as they publish it. But I thought it was a fair representation of the currency. What did you guys think?

Title: Re: Bitcoin on BBC 'Click' Post by: kiko on June 08, 2013, 09:56:07 AM It was quite a well paced intro to how bitcoin works, but it did have some major omissions:
A) The supply is predictable and capped. (21M was not mentioned at any point). B) It's been the best alternative investment on the planet for the last few years. (That's kind of crucial point when doing a news story on a new currency, no?) C) No mention of its global nature, A viewer could be forgiven for thinking that this new money only applies to the UK. Paraphrasing their summary of its value: "It fluctuates wildly and could collapse at any time". Talk about one sided. Still, no such thing as bad press. I'd air it daily if I was in charge. Title: Re: Bitcoin on BBC 'Click' Post by: medicine on June 08, 2013, 11:02:28 AM Seems like it will only play for people in the UK. Anyone know a simple way around this. I have this problem a lot from Countries like Canada, USA and UK. F(*%ers.
