Article was written by Josh Feldman | 11:32 pm, February 27th, 2014 http://static01.mediaite.com/med/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/jon7-300x206.jpg "Jon Stewart struggled to figure out the ins and outs of Bitcoin Thursday night, and concluded that this extremely volatile online-only currency can stay out of the eyes of the feds if they “institutionalize and normalize systemic fraud” like, say, larger financial institutions that get very little to no scrutiny. Bitcoin seemed good enough to Stewart, because clearly “nothing’s more reliable and secure than the internet,” but the government’s been cracking down a bit. Contrast that with Credit Suisse, the multinational financial group that helped wealthy people hide money from the IRS, which isn’t being gone after with the same vigor as Bitcoin is. Oh, and GOLDMAN SACHS HAS URANIUM (though it’s now selling the uranium trading business). And on top of that, just the mere hint of Goldman Sachs involvement sent the Danish into a political frenzy! http://www.mediaite.com/tv/stewart-if-bitcoin-wants-to-avoid-feds-they-should-normalize-fraud-like-the-big-boys/ (http://www.mediaite.com/tv/stewart-if-bitcoin-wants-to-avoid-feds-they-should-normalize-fraud-like-the-big-boys/)" I can't believe I've missed Jon Stewart lately? Maybe next it will be on Colbert... ;) Colbert's 4-13 report not as favorable but still funny... http://www.colbertnation.com/the-colbert-report-videos/425561/april-17-2013/bitcoin-plunge Title: Re: Stewart: If Bitcoin Wants to Avoid Feds, They Should Normalize Fraud Post by: alison03 on February 28, 2014, 07:05:36 AM Am watching this on tv now!

Jon makes the parallel other news outlets won't touch. It should bother us more that the only "news" man who actually does news is a fucking comedian. Title: Re: Stewart: If Bitcoin Wants to Avoid Feds, They Should Normalize Fraud Post by: _Miracle on February 28, 2014, 11:47:56 PM Real news is an extremely difficult commodity to come by, I'll take what I can get and read the rest.
*Seriously though, I watch CNN maybe 2x a year and when elections come I typically watch each parties debates and then the presidential...but it's work, frequently nauseating work. |
