"chainblock", "a silicon valley partners with a bitcoin miner", "bitcoin becomes harder to manufacture". Yeah, but here's what we didn't hear: "terrorists"... "money laundering"... "cyber crime" |

I think this is one of the most intelligent piece of video related to bitcoin.

"Harder to manufacture":
I don't have a problem with this.
It gets the point across of the rate at which bitcoins come into existence in layman terms.
"Chainblock":
The guy obviously did about a day's worth of research and couldn't remember the exact term. Happens to me all the time.
The reporter also understood the difference between BTC and fiat. I loved the QE and Bernanke references at the end.
Overall, a great piece of news from MSM and helps alleviate some of the fears and obscurity of BTC for the sheeple.
I'll take that any day of the week.

Very awesome, positive segment. It seemed the interviewer was more interested in actually learning about Bitcoin then trying to hurpderp discredit it offhand.

It's been a while since we have seen the last real FUD article, hasn't it? Overall tone in the press is quite positive recently. |

It's funny to watch someone being interviewed as an expert on bitcoin when he clearly knows very little about it.

Nice one  Bob Rice is working for the same company as Jim Rickards. I would be curious to know if his opinion evolved on bitcoin. |

Listening to this, I think the guy is very new to Bitcoin. Still, the essence of his story is correct, and I think he deserves credit for that.
It took me a week to understand Bitcoin, and I have a masters degree in a technological direction, and I already had a strong affinity with computer science and cryptography. But then I had a very skeptical attitude and really wanted to understand how it works under the hood.
I think this guy had access to some resources that really explained Bitcoin well for non-technical people. I think we need more of that type of resources: they can really work in our advantage.

He looked a little nervous, maybe distracted by the Bloomberg babe sitting across from him - but he did a good job.
"Chainblock" was pretty amusing though.
The best was the bloomberg girl saying "Hear that Bernanke, no QE!" - SCORE.

Except some minor inconsistencies he did a good job and I am happy to see the enthusiasm instead of the constant bashing.

For those of you who are (like me) ignorant about many of the details of how the whole banking system scams everyone but themselves. QE is qualitative easing http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantitative_easing |

Although he wasnt great technically (by our high standards), this is amazing coverage for the mainstream. I guarantee more than a few people will be googling after watching that  |

I have a similar tech background, and I have to admit that it took me almost two weeks before I 'groked' Bitcoin. After that, I drove my family crazy about it for months. I agree that this guy shouldn't be faulted for a few correctable misconceptions, his intention is obviously favorable. |
"The powers of financial capitalism had another far-reaching aim, nothing less than to create a world system of financial control in private hands able to dominate the political system of each country and the economy of the world as a whole. This system was to be controlled in a feudalist fashion by the central banks of the world acting in concert, by secret agreements arrived at in frequent meetings and conferences. The apex of the systems was to be the Bank for International Settlements in Basel, Switzerland, a private bank owned and controlled by the world's central banks which were themselves private corporations. Each central bank...sought to dominate its government by its ability to control Treasury loans, to manipulate foreign exchanges, to influence the level of economic activity in the country, and to influence cooperative politicians by subsequent economic rewards in the business world."
- Carroll Quigley, CFR member, mentor to Bill Clinton, from 'Tragedy And Hope'
