This could be the moment that rockets the popularity of bitcoin. Most of the people watching mainstream media don't know what bitcoin is. When they hear the basic concept some of them will be like, "holy crap, thats a great idea, let me check it out." Then they start reading more up on it and might join the community.
The central idea in most countries is the banks are screwing the average joe. Billions in bailouts, billions in fees etc. Now there is this new e-currency that basically has no banks. We need to use that to our advantage.

I know. There are a couple more fuck ups in that video. But that is what you get for watching mainstream media. |

Wow, not bad. With this and the incoming article on the economist (a new one, according to the following post http://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=19030.0) bitcoin's popularity could reach unforseen heights. I, for one, though that the hack on mtgox would have a worst effect on btc's economy. Glad I was mistaken. |

I know. There are a couple more fuck ups in that video. But that is what you get for watching mainstream media. Yeah, I don't blame them though. Took me weeks to get gather all my knowledge about Bitcoins. So I don't hold it against them for a few small errors. Also, great find. Thanks for posting it. |

Never underestimate human curiosity.
The news about the hack will have a more positive than negative impact on curious parties. Epic win!

Hilarious. Great finds and great news. She is damn right, they certainly haven't heard the last of Bitcoin. I'm from the UK and I measure the damn things in $ becuase the volume over here is so low.  |
