Anyone just seen the iTV 3 news just now?

Same as this story but on TV tonight at 10..

You can view it here.  http://www.itv.com/itv/

You may need a UK IP address and postcode.  If not in the UK try using anonymox for firefox and mask your IP address to show as UK IP address https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/anonymox/

And use a random London postcode.  for example SW1 1EZ


To be honest the EU sounds a bit scared of Crypto :)

But expect spikes at 10PM ish UK time tonight.

Yeh lol, my mum called my up to tell me about it, she was like "they just said bitcoin on the ITV news!"
She never heard what it was about, now I know! haha.

I hate ITV, they are going to go so over the top on this. Que dramatic music; Bitcoin/USD crash charts, yardi yardi lol

I watched it lol, just some guy going to a pub and buying a drink with bitcoin. Another guy saying it's risky (no protection like in banks). And the owner of an exchange saying he welcomes regulation.

It was just the usual report , nothing special.
People trying themselves to understand what they are talking about.
