It's worth watching this for its comedic value, rather than educational uses  ;D

The Triad mafia based in Hong Kong's wet dream. When they see this video, they will realize some of their problems are solved lol.

Most of the facts in the video are not wrong: they are just emphasizing China's regulatory stance.

Seeing a 2014 video with CPU mining was a little weird though.

its not really bad propaganda, i seen worse. its just highlighting that people should be very cautious,. no where did it say people will be arrested for using bitcoins or saying anything bad about businesses would be shut down.. just a "caution" message.

much like chocolate sometimes says may contain nuts or a movie that says may contain violence and scenes of a sexual nature. its not saying dont use. instead just be very careful.

I don't see much wrong with the video. It was fairly accurate and not very negative. It basically warns that bitcoins can be stolen and stolen bitcoins are impossible to recover, and it talks about money laundering. I think the biggest issue is that it mentions mining for no good reason.

Bitcoin fan boys won't like it because it doesn't have many positive statements promoting Bitcoin. It did put the value of a bitcoin at $2500!

maybe the video is a pre-release that wont reach TV screens for 3 months, so they raised the price in the script ready for the up coming rally lol
knit pickers: im jokingly speculating, chill

Surprisingly without much propaganda, there is more propaganda in the communist U.S. than communist China.

Pretty sensible video TBH

Watch it a second time with the sound off and some K-Pop in the background.

I don't speak chinese, but she said something like "cinq cin man-ga" not "dollars". They say "online" and "Bitcoin" in English.

I suspect they are valuing the Bitcoins at 5000 CNY or 400 USD each. The '$' would be an error in the caption.

Watched it, laughed at it, gave the finger to it, moved on.

This was incredibly stupid.

"Oh, it looks like your money was sent to Columbia."

And you know the owner is in Colombia how?

Classic inside job ;)

Bitcoin has no fixed price but fiat currencies neither.
They don't seem to understand that bitcoin is scarce because the rewards of mining enter circulation and exist in a timely fashion.
When they talk about real money it becomes clear they don't understand that solving equations with processing power has nothing to do with creating material value. It actually just makes the network more secure and tamper-proof, allowing for the consensus achievement of what were the past transactions. The value of bitcoins is only due to its scarcity and utility, as they enter circulation and exist in a timely fashion.

By the ip address associated with the transaction, I guess.

" i can remote controled my PC that it have my bitcoin wallet " ...  ::) TRAP !  ;D

Looks like they have the same problem as us of needing to go into way too much detail when explaining it to average people.
Video seems sound enough though, apart from that fella holding the gun up near his face in the opening credits.

I just checked the address in the video.

LIES!!! she never had 2 bitcorns.

Well that was a very balanced report. But still better news than cnn  :D

Yeah, for us people who know how mining works these days and that CPU mining is bogus now, it is strange, but the general public does't know jack about Bitcoin in general, so it wouldn't even matter to them if they showed CPU mining, GPU mining, FPGA mining (everyone seems to be forgetting about that), or ASIC mining.

They explained what Bitcoin is even better than many news sites. Do all TV teaching programs there always use "dramas" to explain everything?

The most terrifying is the fact that they start explaining bitcoin with 'mining'.

Damn it, Asian Holiwood!
You lied to us again!
Haha

When Trezor is perfected, China will sing a different tune.

Hahaha this is awesome. It looks like some sort of joke film you'd see on a british sketch comedy show. It even has the obvious, but not over-the-top, factual errors.

That was a hilarious video! Can't believe it's so new still, you'd think people ought to know more about bitcoin nowadays. Tss

To check your BTC balance on your phone is not the safest thing - I was thinking on that while watching video.

i always check my wallet at mining.bitcoin.cz when my friends want to buy drinks. it's just what i do 

Because the transaction ledger is public anyway, checking your balance is OK. Logging in remotely to a  machine with a hot wallet...maybe not so much.
