Title: 2013-05-01 CNBC: Ashton Kutcher Bites Into Bitcoin Revolution Post by: elux on May 01, 2013, 09:16:05 PM Quote Ashton Kutcher Bites Into 'Bitcoin Revolution' Published: Wednesday, 1 May 2013 | 3:37 PM ET By: Cadie Thompson Technology Editor, CNBC.com The "bitcoin revolution" is here, and it offers an investing opportunity, Ashton Kutcher tells the TechCrunch Disrupt conference Wednesday. "I think bitcoins are obviously becoming more and more relevant," said the actor, who is also founder of the A-Grade venture firm. "The fact that people are hacking bitcoins really hard, it almost hearkens back to when banks first started and they didn't have safe safes and people were going into the banks and just robbing money out of the safe. It actually validates the value of the money itself," he said. "I think the fact that you can buy drugs and ammo with it is actually (a) validator of the currency itself." http://www.cnbc.com/id/100696230 Title: Re: 2013-05-01 CNBC: Ashton Kutcher Bites Into Bitcoin Revolution Post by: kiko on May 01, 2013, 09:27:26 PM They should just get it over with and rename it the TechCrunch Bitcoin convention.

Quote Because of cyberthreats, governments are trying to regulate the Internet in a way that does not keep users anonymous. By using the same technology as bitcoin, people could anonymously monitor each other on the Internet for criminal behavior and this civic participation would help eliminate government intrusion, Kutcher said.

But I'll take the publicity as a way of making inroads into our Hollywood-fixated society. Title: Re: 2013-05-01 CNBC: Ashton Kutcher Bites Into Bitcoin Revolution Post by: elux on May 01, 2013, 11:07:05 PM http://hereisthecity.com/2013/05/01/heres-why-ashton-kutcher-buys-into-bitcoin/

Title: Re: 2013-05-01 CNBC: Ashton Kutcher Bites Into Bitcoin Revolution Post by: kjlimo on May 03, 2013, 08:13:59 PM Are there any videos of Kutcher on bitcoin from 2011 or 2012? Wonder if his tune has changed. I imagine he would have learned about it related to Dwolla's startup.
"A massive asshole watching farm" - haha Title: Re: 2013-05-01 CNBC: Ashton Kutcher Bites Into Bitcoin Revolution Post by: cypherdoc on May 03, 2013, 09:18:10 PM Ashton is highly regarded by the Hollywood community for his financial expertise.
Saw him on TV the other night interviewed for his investments. Had nothing to do with bitcoin. Now that he's talking about bitcoin... Not to mention that Hollywood is liberal.
