Title: A bitcoin TED talk?
Post by: BadBitcoin (James Sutton) on February 26, 2012, 01:00:11 PM
I was just contemplating, imagine if bitcoin had its own TED talk (www.ted.com), we'd have no problems getting people interested, and to be honest bitcoins are a hell of a lot more interesting than half of the stuff they post on the site.

About the only way that would happen is if Satoshi revealed himself specifically for a TED talk.

he's not doing a TED talk, he's doing a TEDx affiliate talk. Nefario (GLBSE) is doing one too:

It's a start. Either way, they will have a real impact on educating people about Bitcoin.
