Cute fairy tale.  A bit over the top with paranoia I think.

It was very dramatic.  It made the FED to be the ‘big bad boogieman;’ when in fact the fed is just one of the problems.

It also doesn’t tie into why the main character loses his house; it never hits back home.  (Other than explaining monetary expansion == theft.)

Overall I think that it is a good video to open people’s eyes.  However it is going to take a lot more than this to change how sheeple think.

One off NP-Hard.

There are some misinterpretations in this tale, it is quite informative and attractive, but not entirely truth.

I suggest "money as debt" for more accurate information.

What are you saying? This video is 100% true, and should be a call for arms to raze the red shield bankers (aka the fed).

The money and debt video overall is exactly the same as this, the only difference is the way it's presented, also, you should compare the price of Bitcoins to dollars in the stores you see, it shows exactly what is wrong with our current system, it's actually crazy seeing the prices as they are now and to think it will get worse than this is scary.

Wait, what happened to Cuba?

There is none. The video obviously presents it in a negative way, but the information in it is true.

I watched this, and thought it made an excellent introduction to the truth behind the Fed, cluing people in to a significant aspect of modern society. It's animated, funny and very entertaining; it's short (30 minutes), and everything is presented in an easily-accessible manner. Maybe some of the lessons could be clarified, or presented with more detail (and of course, the pickier among us will note that no citations are given,) but as a primer for most folks I think it's great.

The main thing that caught my eye was the name of the folks producing it: the Provocateur Network. Seriously? And I noticed that *after* I noticed two quick-and-subtle violent promptings in the course of the video... so, make of that what you will. It's the only reason I'm a bit wary about throwing my full support or any money behind the it.

Bitcoin is the ultimate freedom test. It tells you who is giving lip service and who genuinely believes in it.

It's a smaller pool with a fair & low-fee payment method, lots of statistical feedback, and it's easier than EasyMiner! (Yes, we want your hashing power, but seriously, it IS the easiest pool to use! Sign up in seconds to try it!)

The idea that deflation causes hoarding (to any problematic degree) is a lie used to justify theft of value from your savings.

Love the simplicity of the explanation of the Fed, made it easier to explain to someone who has no clue about how economics or money works.

@ inaccuracies:  The part where the amousing tale of Nathan Mayer Rothschild is retold as he bets against the French in the battle for Waterloo, while rigging the news of the empires defeat, is most probably a fabrication, see link:
