How can this guy not mention any of the recent merchants that have accepted bitcoin.  Then he didn't mention how it saves merchants money by not having credit card fees and charge backs, thus the savings could be passed onto consumers.  Are the people that are supposed to speak on behalf of bitcoin all retards?   
He is less informed about bitcoin than the vast majority of people on this forum.

I can't argue with you there.  I think the piece hurt BTC's image there.  Not even an interview with some luminaries either. 

Though he is "holding" his investment of his BTC.  That is really the only positive I heard him say.

Yes, but better interview with someone more familiar with Bitcoin.

He is not less informed. He just mentions what will catch the public's attention.  :)

This is almost as bad as the The Wall Street Journal video they did about the guys that wrote a Bitcoin book the other day. Hosts are legit clueless about how the whole thing works.

One time the evening news did a cover story on how torrents work. The poor guy they put there didn't know what he was talking about  ;D

Lol. The guy in TSJ was blaming Bitcoin about the MtGox hack, he said "Bitcoin can get hacked, look at MtGox". They are clueless and think exchange errors are errors within BTC itself.
