haha, I don't know that I would use "best" to describe this "analysis."  Not sure I would use the word "analysis" either.

Hahahaha this is terrifyingly ignorant. This video must have been created to scare the mentally handicapped, and that's just wrong.

Very harsh. It is an in-depth 90 second video that raises many perceptive, new and original points:

1. Bitcoin is volatile

2. Bitcoin is a bubble

3. It is used by bad people

4. The taxman will get you

5. Hackers can steal bitcoins

6. It's bad to lose your private key

Thank goodness for serious journalism.

How many "facts" can someone who has done even cursory research get wrong in 191 words?  Lots, not even getting within 1 million of the correct number.  The "analysis" was equally as bad. "Private and totally anonymous"?  Really.

Not to mention the downfall of organized religion: How will a person drop bitcoins into the collection plate? And how will the Church know who to shake down?

Johnjay Van Es has talked a few times about having recurring electronic donations and feeling awkward when the collection plate is passed around. Maybe churches should just put donation QR codes up on the projector screen, one for bitcoin, one for PP, etc... then everyone scans and donates at once, and have a vacuum tube for cash donations.

Saying that you don't trust someone because of their behavior is completely valid.

Bitcoins are contaminated with a much higher concentration of cocaine than banknotes are, due to their predominant use in the drug trade. Fact.

All newspapers and media outlets like this, like I've seen people on here say, it's only when you know something about the subject that you realise the media knows nothing Tongue or something along those lines.

She may very well have a point, but is she committed to saying that she would rather invest in North Korean Won (if she could) than in bitcoin?
