Title: How about this for a good laugh ...
Post by: Armis on March 13, 2014, 12:04:09 AM
Here's the setup, a Princeton professor is answering questions about bitcoin on Cspan, almost all of the questions span the range of the bitcoin audience, but this one question just threw everyone (including myself) for a loop, it wasn't until he repeated the quested that I simply could not stop laughing ...

enjoy

The question transcribed:

"could the Bitcoin foundation federally produce a gold bullion through princeton universities personal treasury investives
to be governend to a state welfare corrential policy?"

Watching the guy try and answer it we see his brain almost go into some recursive lock and blow the stack.

The question after that was worse.  "Uh, I've been using Bitcoin since 2009, and I don't want to pay $600.  What now?"
