Because http://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=6311.0 is locked.

Quote from: grondilu
Haven't watched the whole video yet but I predict discussing it is going to be fun.

Edit.  Ok, watched it all.  My quick answer:

Bitcoin is a decentralised accounting tool.  It is pretty much as useless as a pen and a piece of paper are.  Which means it is not.  A pen and a paper is useless only for someone who can't write.  Or for someone who can write, but in a world where nobody else can.

Continue (without the offtopicness)!

Make sure you back up your wallet regularly! Unlike a bank account, nobody can help you if you lose access to your BTC.
