I will post the whole thing on youtube shortly.
For those who heard it,   how did it go?


Also,  if someone can make a banner for weusecoins.org

I will change the Memory Dealers banner on this page to the Bitcoin banner.

Any reasonable size for that page should be fine.

I will wait a bit longer to see if there are any more banner submissions,  before I ask them to change it.

Thanks so much for the help!

[btcinstant]

Defiantly, let us know how it went!

I can't wait to see the youtube video, i was only able to catch the last few mins.

they appear to have archived the show... but it doesn't work for me http://www.freetalklive.com/content/podcast_2011_11_19

Since MemoryDealers' interview is tomorrow, let's use the rest of today to critique his 7 talking points and 7 reasons for adaptation. Having them numbered would make them easy to do such. Simply state which numbered bullet point should not be mentioned and which one should be more focused upon. Any suggestions we offer up should also be numbered--8; 9; 10; etc.--for easier referencing. MemoryDealers should stay on this thread most of today so that tomorrow he'll be less prone to trip over himself during the interview. I further suggest, MD, getting plenty of rest tonight so that you're fresh in the morning, therefore state what you're cutoff time for calling it a night.

I post this because this could be to much of an opportunity for Bitcoin to get it effed-up. We (this community) should devote as much time on this today to help MD with his request for input. This may be the only post I'll offer up on this tread today, for I've be to busy in the field and I'm not as bright as some of you other folks here to aid in his TP request, short of short positive/directional asides.

That said, good luck with the interview tomorrow, MD.

For those not able to listen to it live, I hope there's a link to the recording of it somewhere. I'd love to here it.

Stupid me! I thought it was 7AM, hence the bold above.

Listening to it down.

EDIT: Just heard that you're in Japan, therefore my advice was correct.

So far, excellent interview.

[majamalu]

Congratulations! You've done a great job.

[notme]

Nice job, great interview!

[beckspace]

excerpts:

Interviewer:

"That's why they have an entire force of armed man to go after you if you try to do that. It's the U.S. government system for handle counterfeiting."

"But Bitcoin doesn't have a group of armed man."

"How Bitcoin handle counterfeiting?"

Roger:

"Bitcoins are protected by the rules of mathematics."

"If you point a gun at the rules of mathematics they are not gonna flinch. They don't care if you are pointing a gun at them or not."

Nice interview.

more:

Roger:

"I just think that it's gonna help set the world free. It's gonna let people have control over their own money."

"And that's what people are so upset about, with all the bailouts in the USA. The only reason that was able to happen it's because the government can print as much money as they want and do whatever they want. If the world was using Bitcoins, the bailouts would have been impossible. They can't take your bitcoins, they can't make fake bitcoins, they can't give imaginary bitcoins to someone else."

Interviewer:

"It's true decentralization of the money suply."

"It doesn't require anything central. There's no Bitcoin Head Office. There's no Bitcoin Corporation. There's no vault for the Feds to go and raid. There's no server farm for them to take offline. It's COMPLETELY untouchable by the federal government or ANY government."

Roger:

"You have 100% control over your own money."


sorry for any typo, one more excerpt:

Listener:

"Hi, I just tunned in. I was wondering: what backs up Bitcoins? What makes Bitcoin worth money?"

Roger:

"Basically, because people agree that they worth money and they are incredible useful as a currency. You can send them anywhere in the world instantly without anyone getting involved."

Yeah was really great interview... Roger was on for like over an hour!  Tons of callers on the topic, I think it was a hit. Honestly it's the perfect demographic.

[MemoryDealers]

The host of the show told me that likely, around 100,000 people heard the show!

I will be posting the interview on youtube shortly.

  Beautiful, I'm listening to the full thing now while I work. I very much like the 'down to earth' and straight forward nature of your answers.

  All the hype of some past interviewees was disturbing. ;p

[cypherdoc]

Roger,

that was beautiful.

no memorized pithy phrases.  no stumbling, no hesitation.  clear logical thought with an excellent understanding of the underlying technology and its benefits.  the right balance btwn optimism and reality. 

you are also unique in that you are a proven businessman with a solid business who's going to be successful with or without Bitcoin.  you have no hidden agenda except a philosophical support for a new, fair, and revolutionary monetary system.

seriously Roger, the community needs you to step up and become the new spokesperson.

Totally Agree!

Forgive me, but why is it ok to talk about all kinds of illegal drugs on the radio but you get kicked as soon as you say "the f-word". Anybody care to explain that to a puzzled European
