Stefan Molyneux looks at the rise of Bitcoin and discusses it's history, mining, fees, altcoins, regulatory hypocrisy, worldwide awareness, comparisons to gold, anonymous transactions, possible government attacks and what the future holds for the decentralized cryptocurrency. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w4HGVJjqDVkDon't forget to send stef some love and help send a message to liberty activists that when they shine a spotlight on us they will be rewarded. stef's btc address: 1Fd8RuZqJNG4v56rPD1v6rgYptwnHeJRWs

Perhaps because people around here are already familiar with the facts. Great presentation anyway.

I'm investigating...
I've met Stefan. There will be repercussions if something in the video is wrong
Was he right when he said litecoin, feathercoin, terracoin, novacoin, namecoin had the highest market caps?
PPCoin isn't in there...

idk if its really a mistake per say but he did fail to mention the very important drawback that bitcoin has right now, namely the scalability issue. Also he said transactions are free, which is true, but he failed to mention that they will not be free for long if we ever receive anything close to wide spread adoption.

I listened to this one last night. Love this man's work; I know there's some people here who think he's completely stupid (while presenting silly reasoning as to why they believe this to be so, e.g., "He's a libtard so herpaderpaderp pthhhh"), but his presentation on BTC was spot-on; he not only explains what it is, but explains its role in liberty and how fiat works as a control mechanism of the wealthy, as well as talking about previous failed attempts at the same (such as e-gold and liberty dollar). But I agree with this fellow: Perhaps because people around here are already familiar with the facts. Great presentation anyway.
Stefan didn't really say anything I wasn't already aware of But reinforcement is never a bad thing.

his whole series called "the truth about ____" refrains from most of the "bullspit" and sticks to facts.

his whole series called "the truth about ____" refrains from most of the "bullspit" and sticks to facts. Who said it didnt? I am talking about his YT channel and overall online presence. He appears to be a man-child who was allegedly abused by his parents, trying to work through his feelings through philosophy. Instead of bucking-up into manhood, he whines and complains and cries victim like the feminists and entitled spoiled people. He has also been caught lying and changing his stories (ask YT's StormCloudsGathering about that), then he allegedly takes down videos or alters them, stating the incidents never occurred. If you disagree with him and he cannot change your mind, then he claims you are a troll and bans you, and when confronted in public on a live stream about it, he simply disconnected, taking the faux moral high ground of feigned righteous indignation. That said, I reiterate my approval of this video as being extremely well-researched and well-done.

I'm curious--what does "bucking-up into manhood" actually look like? Are you saying he acts in an unprofessional manner, or? I know Stefan is emotional, but I also see this to be linked with his personality, or in other words, out of his hands to fix.
