No reason to be bashful about the work you've put into those videos, Charles.  It's good stuff.  When do you think you're going to upload the wallet reviews?

Another very thorough video series for "intellectuals" is here" https://www.khanacademy.org/science/core-finance/money-and-banking/bitcoin/v/bitcoin-overview

I love Khan, but its pretty dry.  To get people excited about it, we really need to tell them what's in it for them.  What are the benefits and how does it address pain-points they are currently feeling.

This is a cool high level video that's pretty interesting as an intro to the bitcoin economy: http://vimeo.com/63502573

It all depends on how much someone wants to learn.

This is really good. Upbeat and i like the idea of the BTC timeline. I thought it was a bit political at times and the Silk Road thing was quite prominent at the start but i suppose thats the history of Bitcoin

Search for the video: 'United Colors of Bitcoin'.

{ Imagine a sequence of bits generated from the first decimal place of the square roots of whole integers that are irrational numbers. If the decimal falls between 0 and 5, it's considered bit 0, and if it falls between 5 and 10, it's considered bit 1. This sequence from a simple integer count of contiguous irrationals and their logical decimal expansion of the first decimal place is called the 'main irrational stream.' Our goal is to design a physical and optical computing system system that can detect when this stream starts matching a specific pattern of a given size of bits. bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=166760.0 } Satoshi did use a friend class in C++ and put a comment on the code saying: "This is why people hate C++".
