Title: Bitcoin got it's own segment on The Daily Show Post by: Lethn on February 28, 2014, 03:56:15 PM Bitcoin appeared on The Daily Show yesterday and got it's own small segment, I don't have a clip unfortunately but I'm sure someone will get one up, 2014/02/27, you can get it off piratebay, he talks about MTGOX a bit and then proceeds to mock them for committing fraud all in one go rather than systematically like long-standing financial organisations do :P

That humour :-\ :-\ :-\ :-\ :-\ Title: Re: Bitcoin got it's own segment on The Daily Show Post by: ChuckBuck on February 28, 2014, 05:14:36 PM Good stuff, just being on a heavily watched show like Jon Stewart as the opening segment is a compliment even if he doesn't entirely understand it.
Loved the zingers like "Tamagotchi of currency", "Bitcoin grills", and "MtGox deleting tweets only to resurface as Carlos Dinero". :P I'll take any media exposure to the mainstream, good or bad, at this point. Can't get worst than Gox's news. Title: Re: Bitcoin got it's own segment on The Daily Show Post by: Flunder707 on February 28, 2014, 05:18:43 PM It's funny as hell, have a sense of humor.
Title: Re: Bitcoin got it's own segment on The Daily Show Post by: hellscabane on February 28, 2014, 05:32:05 PM Admittedly, when I saw this, I saw it more of a neutral slant on BTC and the usual negative slant on Big Banking.
Sure there was a bit of misinformation, but as is the case for a lot of the Daily Show, that's not their primary source of news. In fact, in a study, a lot of viewers are fairly well-informed and they actually question some of the segments on a regular basis. If this effect happens with Bitcoins, in the end, I find it much more positive than negative.

Bitcointalk is run by a bunch of humorless Deans of Economics at a variety of Ivy League institutions across the globe collectively known by the alias Satoshi Nakamoto. Hitherto, no one may laugh when discussing the Bitcoin. Title: Re: Bitcoin got it's own segment on The Daily Show Post by: jmdon1 on February 28, 2014, 05:44:59 PM It's funny as hell, have a sense of humor. I do have a sense of humour, hence why I didn't find it funny. Only airheads would find hilarity in that cheese-fest.

Lighten up Francis, Stewart is hilarious and it's COMEDY central, what did you expect?
