The apparatchik looked scared. He should be.

Sure, he was arguing with Bitcoin Jesus!

The only miracle this Jesus can't do is the multiplication of coins. It's a mathematical sin.

From the professor ... "Too shadowy, too speculative" ...

There's not much more transparent than an open protocol implemented with open source software.

At some point bitcoin will have enough total dollar valuation (TDV) so that Wall Street will get into it with an ETF.  That will then provide a method for shorting and that will provide resistance on the way up and support on the way down.

Good one Roger Ver.

Georgetown University Finance Professor James Angel - "Bitcoin's a game"
This one is a keeper for the history books. How many more Keynesian fiat apologists (dinosaur relics) are going to regret even opening their yaps as this revolution plays out I wonder?
I hope these guys know how to secure their IT wealth, assets and livelihood because sticking your head above the parapet may not be the brightest idea for powerful from a fast receding era who now ride a wave of technology, but do not create it. Where we're going they are on a fast track to obsolescence.

Edit: upon re-watching I noticed the crucial moment when Angel conceded that people are free to voluntarily use bitcoin if they want. In essence, they cannot fundamentally disagree with monetary freedom because that would make them facists ... they just strongly disagree with anybody else choosing not to play their version of MMPOG money game (USD digital fiat).

Rodger is so Awesome.

This Professor is outsmarted by him several times.

Kudos Rodger. Way to go. We can be glad to have you.

"Don't confuse it with a real monetary system because it's not"

So my dad, who recently retired, should be supporting a real monetary system like the USD?  So he can watch the last 40+ years of his savings become worthless in 5 years?

I'm sorry Professor, you really have spent too much time with Gilligan.

Hope the Professor doesn't piss off the wrong haxxors - eh nevermind, those big banks are to big to fail...

BTW, Davi (The Muslim Agorist) is a great artist. He's done stellar work for Shire Silver.

Thanks. Those badges look cool.

You sure? The badges site says it's a "Voluntaryist Pin". They do have a lot of pins with triangular formations, but none of which really seem Masonic to me, other than their shape.

so why does our Fed insist in operating in the "shadows"? 

they continue to resist all audit proposals by Ron Paul.  its disgusting to watch a Washington DC based Georgetown Keynesian apologist make these arguments.

LOL, I saw Davi post on his FB that the pins Roger is wearing were his. I have the "Free People of the Shire" pin myself, which I got from Davi at Liberty Forum.

I loved the part where the Fed apologist was bitching about Bitcoin being full of criminals. Irony supreme.

i'm sure if asked to prove that statement, he'd just point to the blockchain and say "see?!".

I'm glad to see more Bitcoin exposure, but I'm not sure this is the best kind of exposure.  Roger is a valuable contributor to the Bitcoin ecosystem, but in this interview he sounds like he drank to koolaid of the Bitcoin Cult.  His fanaticism is a little over the top.  It appeals to people on the Bitcoin forums, but not those who've never heard of Bitcoin before.

Bernanke's Boys can just smell the illicitness of transaction hash 77ad155602b3990c28c865c3f0feedc212bb26403b66455ac9a2ed6af73a63b1. It's like a sixth sense with them.
