Thanks for links mate!

This is very positive for Bitcoin. Guy is having good time and his colleagues are bit jealous :D

Bitcoin community is doing great job. I truly believe this movement will shape the future for good and we are part of it.

Keep up the good work!

I liked how Matt referred to Kasmhir Hill as a "bicycling vegan" from SF.
He's a funny guy that's for sure. And he seems to be having fun with this experiment. (maybe because he gets all those tips)

Looking forward do the next videos in the series, keep them coming oldtimer!

Funny how that annoying woman is mentioning the risk of a 30% decrease in value (not mentioned the 400% uprise) and gets dissed one minute after. 1 - 0. Bloomberg, you will become a Bitcoin believer once!

Cheers!

Betty Liu?

Oh shes an idiot, i dont understand the news media,..... they must select employees based on how good they suck ..... no pun intended.

I generally enjoy these videos, but trying to explain the technicals of transactions and mining when you yourself only understand it partially is a really bad idea.  Only leads to more confusion.

Still, very enjoyable tv overall, and a positive attitude, keep it up Matt !

It's funny, in the beginning he was all negative - complaining about how hard it was to get bitcoins etc..
Now he's explaining how BTC works without complaining on how hard it is too understand.

I don't think he was that negative in the beginning, but you can see that he is really getting into it now. 
That's what bitcoin does, the blob of bewonderment assimilates you  ;D .

The people in the studio still mentioning volatility & drugs...
I wonder how many times Matt has gotten a question about the volatility during these Bitcoin days?

He is starting to sound too much like an advocate. People are going to start dismissing him. On the other hand, the reporters at Bloomberg seem to be catching on.

In this one he gives his coworkers paper wallets loaded with bitcoin and one of the coworkers promptly exposes the private key on camera:
...Which of course leads to this:

Fail by sam.ro:

As long as there are no laws in place for such thefts, one could probably argue that the money was indeed "earned."

There is a law against theft in every jurisdiction in the world, you can usually find it by searching your law books for the word "theft".

This is California:

484.  (a) Every person who shall feloniously steal, take, carry, lead, or drive away the personal property of another, or who shall fraudulently appropriate property which has been entrusted to him or her, or who shall knowingly and designedly, by any false or fraudulent representation or pretense, defraud any other person of money, labor or real or personal property, or who causes or procures others to report falsely of his or her wealth or mercantile character and by thus imposing upon any person, obtains credit and thereby fraudulently gets or obtains possession of money, or property or obtains the labor or service of another, is guilty of theft.

that should have been said in other words but i think that the idea behind this was to teach people something about bitcoin security
