Journalists will ask them how their excitement compares to that about Facebook and they answer, and the Gaurdian gets its quote and 90% comments on how these two things technically can't be compared.

God I hate reading anything those two fraternity elitist scumbags have to say. I hate those two silver spoons so much I almost want Bitcoin to fail just so they lose money.

It is not their fault that their parents were rich.

What they did with Facebook was questionable but so is what Zuckerburg did

TCP/IP is bigger than Facebook, but let's not compare apples with oranges.

We need to have Bitcoin simplified for people who are not tech savvy.

People who are not tech savvy would be better off not using Bitcoins. Already robberies and hacks are targeting even the most tech savvy of the users. If the less tech savvy decides to use Bitcoin, then it will be just a matter of time before they are conned.
This shouldn't stop Bitcoin. It's about time that the average user learns more about security. Hacks are damaging the business though (a lot of $ a year for the US alone).

These guys have a history of "almost winning" every time.  They almost won with the Olympics and almost won with Facebook.  I mean sure, they got a lot of money from Facebook and they can say they are Olympians, but it makes me a little nervous how close they call it.

It may not be Bitcoin, but one of the crypto's will take over, Milton Friedman said, twenty years ago, that the future of money was internet money.

What should happen is that people should develop apps that make security automatic and behind the scenes.
