Dark web shouldn't be introduced...wrong way of showing the use of BTC.
watch the episode. it wasn't about BTC specifically, it was about the dark web.. which BTC is a part of. not everything is bitcoin-centric.

Almost certainly in a negative light... the BBC is so so wrong all the time on Bitcoin.
I feel like bitcoin came out of it ok tbh. The BBC is often a right pain but overall they seem to be Pro BTC. The bit at the end about market demanding more anonymity = greater security for us was interesting. The baby boomer domination is coming to an end.... get ready for the rise crypto currencies, legalized/decriminalized drugs, housing market restructured, online employment surging and more.

i don't watch the BBC much, so i don't get why people dislike them. they seem to be as good as you could expect. CNN, on the other hand, asks shit like "who or what is this 4chan?"

They are probably slightly "better" vs some of the large American news broadcasters from what i have seen but we have our own style of bullshit over here. Cant rely on mainstream media no matter where you are.

Only felt like a superficial glossing over of the important details, didn't have a great deal of depth to it. Maybe they're trying to keep it simple for the non-tech-savvy people out there. Hardly any coverage at all on Bitcoin, barely scratching the surface there. But I suppose that's to be expected for now until the learning curve gets a little less steep. Probably took their researchers a while just to produce what limited info they did.

This was actually quite an informative, neutral and impartial documentary for the BBC. deeper summary
...
21:50-21:52 suggestions that tor has a bug to de-anonimise people and 'kaspersky' wants standardised world identification
...
Eugene Kaspersky's views on internet anonymity and Tor are quite frankly astonishing. He basically stated that anonymity was a bad thing and that its not related to online safety, privacy or security. ~ Everyone should be made aware that the Kaspersky company is currently running Tor nodes! Obviously they are not running them to help with Tor users online annonymity, but most likely for their own commercial gain / insight (at best).

Regular people don't want to study economics in order to be able to pay for their coffee. It's the same when it comes to mobile phones. Tech savvy people always complain that people don't 'get' technology. But what they're missing is, that they themselves don't 'get' people.

I should have gotten into Bitcoin back in 1992...

Its a legit point, people need a reason to get into/use bitcoin, right now it seems to be a nice fit for youngsters to build wealth while they have limited skills & life experience. Also political activists, tech enthusiasts and tech wizards. On boom periods speculators of all ages can ride the train.

indeed its not suppose to be too techy, it is made to inform the laymen
..to everyone claiming that they didnt mention much of bitcoin.. sorry but the TV show is titled and described as being about the darkweb so dont treat it like a bitcoin program that wasted too much time on the darkweb, treat it like a darkweb program that mentioned bitcoin.
just be happy that they gave bitcoin a fair balanced view

I DO NOT TRADE OR ACT AS ESCROW ON THIS FORUM EVER. Please do your own research & respect what is written here as both opinion & information gleaned from experience. many people replying with insults but no on-topic content substance, automatically are 'facepalmed' and yawned at

one could argue that i was bias in favor of bitcoin. the way the episode was formatted was basically: governments around the world are snooping into your shit, but there's hope. and bitcoin is one of the reasons for that.

Or this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fTjNkbLBEqgEdit: Just finished watching. The show is more on the social implications of encryption, examined against both the need for individual privacy, and the overlords' desire to know everything about everybody. Bitcoin plays a role. I thought it was well done.
