Very disappointing coverage - especially in that the core USP were not covered in any depth and we ended with a feeling that they were a big silly.
Not that I would expect anything else from the BBC, this is how they operate.
The BBC is the most advanced propaganda machine on the planet - they were the inspiration behind George Orwell's 1984.
What they have done with this story is prove that they have not censored bitcoins, and given the subject a fair amount of airtime with a financial expert. By leaving out the questions that would have revealed why the growth is potentially justified, they have ensured that most listeners are satisfied with the result of the coverage they got - that its just a fad, and nothing to be taken to seriously.
That is what the European Union would want its residents to think, and the BBC delivered!
Well done, Auntie!
