Yes that was a very lame interview and comments...overly simplistic. You have been able to purchase hard assets with Bitcoins for years and there are many other virtual currencies where you can do that, just not as widely. This is a story for noobs...and those who can't comprehend anything but the most simple explanations.
The good thing is many people just need to be made aware of the options and simple media attention helps the general public know that big money is turning their attention at Bitcoin. |

The network tries to produce one block per 10 minutes. It does this by automatically adjusting how difficult it is to produce blocks.

I think it was an awesome interview, not only did O'leary say "its here to stay" & "he would consider buying 1-3%" of his net worth in BTC but he also opened the door for Canadians looking for a reason to buy some BTC. I showed a few family members this video and all and now getting the message and are buying up coins. This was by far the best Bitcoin report I've seen on Canadian TV. |

Exactly, the general public needed something like this, and that's probably why O'leary kept it simple. I'm sure he could tell you all the technical details about bitcoin considering he said he's looking to invest 1%+ into it, but he is smart and knows that the details aren't what the general public are capable of understanding or even want to hear. |

Well, there are plenty of bitcoins to buy. Now roughly 4x as many on the book as there were 4 days ago. Probably means we're going up, right?   |
Bitcoin Fact: the price of bitcoin will not be greater than $70k for more than 25 consecutive days at any point in the rest of recorded human history.

He would say "I'm a dumb ass for not buying back then...I said i would look into it but that was just TV talk " He cant say anything publicly because hes too proud to say he lost out.. I doubt he will advocate it but instead troll for a downturn so he can buy... Which makes me uber bullish and thinking we wont see. Sub $500 |

Even Greenspan and buffet can't singlehandedly do that. Plus Kevin is already rich... He doesn't need to troll anything. |

I highly doubt he bought a sizable amount or we would hzve heard sbout it as he made money. |
