Most of John Oliver's send-up of cryptocurrency was spot on.
On Sunday night's episode of "Last Week Tonight," the HBO host poked fun at bitcoin community icons and reminded viewers to exercise caution when investing.
"The important thing to remember here is this is a brand-new, very complicated space and literally nobody knows how it's going to develop, so you need to be careful," he said.
Oliver's explanations of blockchain technology and the nascent cryptocurrency industry were generally accurate, and the notes of caution were appropriate. Speaking of notes, guest star Keegan-Michael Key's parody of Carlos Matos, the exuberant Bitconnect promoter, drove the point home when he bellowed: "Re-spon-si-bility!"
