Watch this interview with Gavin Anderson bit coin programmer/administrator. It's eye opening, especially what he says about working with the government,  using bitcoin is not anonymous, the exchanges are registered with the government and complying with all laws.  This guy also gave a talk to the CIA this week. You can find the link for that yourself.

Uh. Your post might as well say the sky is blue. Thanks for the info?
Watching the link now...

edit: wow...saying bitcoin was made to sell drugs...and there goes credibility....ooh a twitter feed! this isn't biased at all lol
uh and uh garzic uh sucks at talking uh worse than uh ted uhm kennedy

Other than staring as a nice lookin asian girl there is nothing in this but a waste of time.
They even put in a broken cell call moment when he mentioned blockexplorer. lol typical.

He's actually not that bad, but the interviewers are of course really impatient all the time cause they want to hear him admit that it's illegal and dangerous, instead of hearing his pretty well-thought arguments.

That's not Gavin Andreson. That's Jeff Garzic.

And the interviewers are just sitting there trying to get him to admit that everything about BTC is illegal and that everyone who has ever used it should be thrown in jail for the rest of their life. This video is just four people who hate BTC and one guy whose public speaking skills are mediocre at best.

Not that I didn't learn anything from this video, though. It reminds you how many people simply don't understand BTC and how hard it is for some people to understand that Silk Road and Bitcoins are two completely different things.

Seemed a bit biased on the interviewers part. Couldn't shake the feeling that they were pushing the analogy of:

SR sells drugs and guns; therefore SR is BAD.
SR is BAD and uses Bitcoins; therefore Bitcoins are BAD.

Honest journalism has really gone to shit.

I thought it was pretty good all around. Especially him standing in front of a bunch of boxes and computers. Haha. Bitcoin came out looking positive

He's a smart dude for sure
