Thomas Edison predicted the need for Bitcoin... kind of. (infomercial)

Note.. this is a very long video and you cannot pause it. Only watch it if you have a lot of time.

Sorry if this is posted elsewhere.

This is a good video to send to people that are new to Bitcoin. It is quite long winded, but informative for new users too learn all about it.

I'm not sure if they're trying to sell something or what.. I'm still watching it. However, they are doing a good job of explaining Bitcoin thus far.

Oh, click to pause it. Thank god.. I was about to start wondering if I could make it through the whole thing.

Did I mention this video is long?

I'm going to continue it in a bit!

EDIT: Annnndd.. I'm at the end and realize it is for sure selling something. LOL. At least it was somewhat of a good video on Bitcoin at first. I liked how it tied Bitcoin into history at the start of it. I never realized Thomas Edison was such a proponent for Bitcoin well before it was ever started.

It's a good video - I saw it a few days ago and it's obviously an infomercial to sell books. But it isn't anything new and Edison was not the only/first one to conceptualize such a thing. There are many in history who've tried to prevent such awful things as centralized international banking cartels. I just wish people into Bitcoin would be more supportive of the principles and not the get rich schemes or the wolves in sheeps clothing Fabian Wallstreet scum around. It's about breaking the bonds of enslaving centralized banking/government and bringing back true free trade among the people. Not this garbage Rockefeller "competition is a sin" stuff that's infested business for a hundred years.

The stories about Thomas Alva Edison beeing a great inventor are simply a pack of lies. The truth is that he was successful in acquiring patented inventions from poor inventors under advantageous circumstances, to describe it nicely. One of his methods to blacken his "foemen" was intentional defamation. E.g. he organized an official presentation about the dangerous kind of alternating current, invented by his nemesis Tesla. Edison knew Tesla's method of transporting current was way more effective than his method of continuous current. Edison cooked the elephant Topsy with AC in front of a shocked crowd, claiming the danger of AC. This was the natal hour of the electric death-chair. This badass had a great sense of doing business, nothing more, nothing less.
