Of note is the video linked from the page: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PrK-152xfy0 ostensibly in association with ebay deals.

Pretty good video summing up bitcoin in 2 minutes.

I would edit the part where the narrator says, "the anonymity of bitcoins make them a perfect medium for facilitating illegal transactions and crime." Well, yes, they are pseudo-anonymous, but cash is a much more perfect medium for illegal transactions than bitcoin is. There is no public ledger of all cash transactions.

That's right. I wouldn't feel good to buy anything illegal with bitcoins cause I am verificated and every bitcoin I bought there could be traced. Cash is way better to buy drugs and so on.

Great job for a summary short concise and to the point
I agree with the public ledger and pseudo-anonymous systems of exchange that can be traced and verified through the blockchain needing to be mentioned in more or less context.
