Bitcoin Forum

Was on my news feed yesterday moderately good summary of bitcoin

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-22817522

Thanks for the link!

Seems a lot better than the usual media coverage of bitcoin.

Nice, thanks!

BBC has generally had very good, objective coverage on Bitcoin but this is the most comprehensive video I've seen yet from them.

Great! Is good they not only speak about bitcoins in the bubbles.

BBC has been Bitcoin friendly for awhile.

BBC prob the only good reports about Bitcoin.

Great, let's make an alt-chain fork called "BBCoin" to honor them for their good coverage. "British Broadcast Coin."

It might get confused with BBQcoin, but, all's well that ends well.

Great video. No dumb shit, only thing they got wrong was the paper was released in 2008.

Can't help but wonder what barbecued bitcoins would taste like.  Virtual bratwurst?
Oh, wait, this is the net. It's gotta be virtual BACON.

lol wrong
he wrote the paper before 2009 because the paper was used to then make bitcoin which came out in 2009.. so dont confuse when bitcoin went live with when the paper was made/released

Ah that's right it was 2008 Point to the BBC

Nice coverage

Nice but over emphasized the ability to steal a wallet.  There are many ways to secure a digital wallet. But surprised they did not mention how bitcoins are lost by forgetting passwords...

NO DATE?

I think explaining armory to the masses or isolated pc's with receiving wallets and sending wallets might just make the darn thing a lot more confusing

I disagree. Having a wallet stolen is much easier than what you think. If that video is meant for new users, then it is better that they know that they MUST protect their wallet otherwise they will lose everything and NO ONE will be able to help them.

Your thread does not follows the press guideline!

Great video indeed! As a bitcoin fanatic even I learned something about bitcoin.

Also visually very well done.
