I believe we also have a new development:

Who came up with the theory that Satoshi is Grigori Perelman ?

Its much better interview than the one with Expensify CEO.

I can see how its hard to explain bitcoin to the mainstream media folks. When telling them about mining and mathematical equation..... their faces looked ..." yeah right,,,, scammers"

Thanks a thousand for sharing. Jeff Berwick, love that dude!

Loved it when he stared confidently right into the camera and said: That's the great thing about the free market, there will be all sorts of free market inovations. The monetary system today is much more dangerous than anything bitcoin has.

The Expensify interview was a set-up job, and 2 vs 1 to boot. I think both guys are good spokespeople for how bitcoin is becoming a presence in ordinary, non-geeky people's lives.

Way back in the Dark Ages, I had a marketing professor who said that it generally takes 7 impressions of a new brand before the light bulb of recognition begins to go off. In general, more people spend a lot more time watching CNBC than they do reading Reddit or Mashable.  Or bitcointalk.
