He made a couple comments about Bitcoin at 33:40.

Paraphrasing ...

Bitcoin is a good thing. It will be used primarily for illegal transactions, but that is not necessarily bad. I own no Bitcoins.

Well, He might change his mind, if someone want to pay him in BTC

I just wonder what kind of banking fees these guys have per month. I guess if you have that kind of money to play with rockets, banking fees are the least of your worries.

Most of the rich people, pay no banking fees anyways. {At my Fiat bank, you pay NO banking fees, if you keep your balance above a certain amount, but you get nearly NO interest too}

Money transfer, will be another matter entirely and this is where the crux of difference will come into play.  :D

Well I think he's right as that's what it was mainly used for initially, but we all know it's growing away from that side. I would like to know what percentage of transactions are used on the dark market compared to legit merchants, though.
