Title: Bitcoin on AlJazeera Post by: alkor on July 09, 2011, 06:36:44 PM Bitcoin is mentioned on Counting the Cost: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qC0S8wgoFJ0&feature=player_detailpage#t=1315s Title: Re: Bitcoin on AlJazeera Post by: Herodes on July 09, 2011, 09:21:14 PM Interesting coverage.
Again there was some errors in a bitcoin report. The 'pro-bitcoin' man showed bitcoin on a cell phone with a big logo and claimed that bitcoins are stored in an 'encrypted' wallet. AFAIK this is not the case yet, although it's being worked on, unless he spoke about a fork. The 'anti-bitcoin' dude was weird, he just stated that it's a wacky currency, with no facts to back up his statements. Anyway, a nice coverage this, I hope more news stations will catch up on bitcoin. I tipped some national newspapers a long time ago, but they didn't even reply.

I agree, the anti-bitcoin pundit was rather oblique and he really didn't say much. Of course, he works for Wired, which has fallen in quality over the past two decades. I wouldn't put much into it.
