Awesome list! Thanks for putting this together.

typo: bitsamp.net

youtu.be, bitsamp.net... strange URL .... ???

This is an amazing list. Will watch the Bitcoin White Paper by Stefan Molyneux later on today. I keep telling myself that I would read it, but a video about it is a lot better (and most likely easier) ;D

youtu.be is the YouTube link shortener for Belgium ;) The other one is a typo.

cool list, this should be a sticky in the noob-section!

Replaced old weusecoins video (http://youtu.be/Um63OQz3bjo) with their new video http://youtu.be/Gc2en3nHxA4.

Added 6th short What is Bitcoin video http://youtu.be/l9jOJk30eQs (5:25) -by CuriousInventor.

I'm glad you added "ignore buckysroom wallet" note, because this was the only thing that was quite biased in this video.

I've watched Bitcoin vs. Political Power: The Cryptocurrency Revolution (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=joITmEr4SjY) before and I thought it was too political. I'm adding it to the list to add some more political flavor though.  :)
