The apparatchik looked scared. He should be.

What's the crest on Roger's blazer?

BTW, Davi (The Muslim Agorist) is a great artist. He's done stellar work for Shire Silver.

Free mason...   Masons run the world and Ver is in on it.

There's not much more transparent than an open protocol implemented with open source software.

At some point bitcoin will have enough total dollar valuation (TDV) so that Wall Street will get into it with an ETF.  That will then provide a method for shorting and that will provide resistance on the way up and support on the way down.

You sure? The badges site says it's a "Voluntaryist Pin". They do have a lot of pins with triangular formations, but none of which really seem Masonic to me, other than their shape.

its disgusting to watch a Washington DC based Georgetown Keynesian apologist make these arguments.

I loved the part where the Fed apologist was bitching about Bitcoin being full of criminals. Irony supreme.

i'm sure if asked to prove that statement, he'd just point to the blockchain and say "see?!".

addtionally, its pretty much guaranteed that bitcoins have never, and will never be used to fund a war.

isnt that the kind of currency system the world is looking for?

SJs are observant, stable and motivated by a need to maintain security. They are realistic, routinized administrators requiring tasks be completed correctly and that people behave appropriately. SJs make thorough examinations to ensure everything is done according to plan. They make sure no more and no less credit is given than due. When a need arises, they are quick to provide a solution, provided that the need is justified. SJs are not driven by impulse, but rather by concrete fact. By virtue of their reliable, diligent, industrious, persevering nature, they make excellent leaders.

ISTJs are responsible, loyal and hard working. They have an acute sense of right and wrong and work hard at preserving established norms and traditions.

SPs are observant, experiential and primarily driven by sensation. They are flexible, aesthetically-aware, “here and now” people that, with hardly a moment’s notice, will go where their senses lead. SPs naturally make an effort (with a realistic approach) not to miss an opportunity that may prove to be thrilling, pleasing or otherwise valuable. SPs are are laid back, open-minded and love to feel alive. They have a tendency toward athletics and anything that involves creating or crafting.

ESTPs are action-loving, “here and now” realists with excellent people skills. Informal, risk-taking, fast-paced and adaptable, they are not always in agreeance with rules and regulations.

You all make it sound like this is some sort of game of who will come first to the finish line.

Roger and the other two presented their views, opinions and they respected each others opinions. I was glad that Roger was so calm without being agitated or anything, so he's good for PR.

...did sense a "deer in the headlights"...

Of course. Rodger is an awesome guy. One of the if (not the) best representative speaksmans Bitcoin has.

Every time I have seen him so far, he has managed to represented Bitcoin in Professional way I really admire him for.


* Gosh this sound like I'm crawling in his a**

"Roger, you only take bitcoins exclusively in your online site. How is that working exactly? Do you hold them? Do you convert them back to dollars?"

"I'm confident that Bitcoin is the most important invention of the entire history of the world, since the Internet. And because the supply of bitcoins is limited, the price is gonna go up."

"So every order that we get at bitcoinstore.com, I just hold the bitcoins. I don't convert them into dollars. I trust bitcoins more than I trust dollars, euros or yen."

"And you can see around the world all the crazy things that governments are doing to debase their currencies. With bitcoins that can't happen. And it is protected by the laws of mathematics, not the laws of man. We don't know what the US government is gonna do with the dollar tomorrow (reporter agrees), what the europeans are going to do with the euro, and the japanese are going crazy printing japanese yen as well."

"With Bitcoin I don't have to worry about any of that. I know exactly how the Bitcoin protocol is gonna behave. I don't have to trust any government (reporter agrees again), politicians or someone else with my money. I have complete control about what I do with my own bitcoins. That'a a wonderful thing."

It's nice to have examples of merchants accepting bitcoins and converting part or all of them to dollars (Evr Bar NY) using BitPay and the bitcoinstore's example, where the merchant keeps the bitcoins.

Personally, I was not surprised by Roger's revelation in choosing bitcoin over dollars, but it's nice such confidence be shown on TV.
