Oh, ok.  You were talking about the video or the magazine cover?

[trabber]

The magazine cover. It's very nice to see all the attention bitcoin is getting.

[Anonymous]

That is epic.

Where do we get a copy ?

I guess you can order one online (paying with bitcoin2cc for instance).

This is seriously big news.  This is going to be in every town in Nederlands.

I mean who lives in the Netherlands and wants to buy and ship one out to bitcoiners for a small fee ?

Who said it's going to be on the cover?  Somebody else needs to READ CAREFULLY.

The fact it is in TIME at all is gigantic, assuming it is true.

Well whatever, don't be nit picking ..

It's NOT true. But I'm hoping SOME DAY it will be true.

Yes dude, that's what I'm saying. I do not get why you think bitcoin is appearing in TIME magazine.

I very much like this video from the guy of "howtovanish.com":

It's a pretty good exposé.   Make it buzz.

I like it, too. It's well done.

It tells 3 very common inaccuracies, though:

• "all transactions are completely free"
  
• "transactions are instantaneous"
  
• "there's much higher security than with traditional online banking"

True, apart from your point #3 (I really think bitcoin is much more secure than traditional online banking).

Still, it is a good exposé.

So it looks like it is the TIME.com tech section, not TIME magazine:

Still pretty amazing, I'd say.

D'accord with point #3 being true. But the argument ("256 bits must be more secure than 128") that is often used is fail.
