A new Bitcoin Video

[BittBurger]

This is a really strange video.

Can someone confirm that - if its about Bitcion (which it is) - half the stuff they're talking about isn't accurate?  
"Currently, 200,000 companies in the United States can pay their employees with it and 700,000 American businesses are turning to it, including Wal-Mart, CVS, Lowes, and NIKE."

Seems like they've made a strange parody video with some true aspects, and some things are totally fabricated nonsense that may come true in the near future.  I can't get my finger on this video and figure out if its something I should share on facebook as "Current", or label it "What may come".

Here is a partial transcript of the video at the point where they finally stop babbling and mention Bitcoin.
Are all those facts in the beginning accurate for current-day Bitcoin???  Or is this some weird, somewhat deceptive video, playing partial facts, and partial fiction?

Mike, these are 21st century Edison Dollars.
I'm talking about Bitcoin.
Bitcoin is the Realization of Thomas Edison's Dream.
Mike Ward:
Michael, a lot of folks have heard of Bitcoin.
And it's unleashed a firestorm in the press.
I want to read some of these quotes for you now.
Forbes, Bitcoin: "the currency of a $10 trillion dollar global market."
Time magazine, this concept is "perfect money."
Fox Business, Bitcoin may become "the world's payment method of choice."
The Washington Post, quoted experts calling Bitcoin:
"The Holy Grail"...
"Astonishingly Secure"..
"Anonymous..."
"Invisible to the Taxma..."
"It Could Soon Rival the Dollar."

The website is owned by Agora, Inc.  They sell financial newsletters.  Typically they they use a "carrot" to sell their financial info.  In this case the hot topic they are using to sell their info is Bitcoins.

Ah... we finally arrive at the point... bitcoin was invented by Edison, an American of course.
What would the world be without a proper happy ending

most of these services are worth crap.  but in this case, they're trying to lure you in to their subscription to buy Bitcoin.  kind of a clever hook associating it with Edison who apparently advocated for a fixed supply currency.

Hahaha! I just managed to watch a decent chunck of it, until he stated that french banks had adopted bitcoin and you could get your wages paid in bitcoins rather than in euros.
Which is pure fantasy.

Weird, weird video indeed.

If I made a video about bitcoin, I would just said. What if you are able to monitor all?
