that would be good.

I thought this was really good.  He seems supportive and very fair.  I don't see how this hurts.

It was outdated, but accurate for last summer.  Overall, probably good coverage and exposure for average peeps.

It's a pity that it's a bit outdated.  ---> The $600 price tag for 1 Bitcoin might scare off some new people. {They might not understand the concept that you can buy less than 1 Bitcoin} or people would be interested and then, when they go to buy it, they might reconsider when they see the latest lower price.

It is kind of a two edged sword....

Morgan did not come over as a "Bitcoin crazy".. and the newbie feel would attract more attention. People are kind of put off, when "Bitcoin crazies" overload them with all the technical information.

I think he and bitcoin came across very well. It was overly positive and he didn't even exaggerate how it can be used for bad things. I thought him buying something off Silk Road with the FBI guy instructing him was pretty amusing.

Who said it hurts?

Ah, been looking everywhere for this. Thanks a lot.

[okthen]

This is great! Thanks a lot.
Would be nice if it became viral on YouTube, raise some awareness.

When he was buying it the guy explained he could sell 20 cents worth, but I agree, I wish buying one Bitcoin wasn't the starting point.

To be fair though, what is the typical starting point these days?

Getting paid Bitcoin for something, or just buying an arbitrary amount?
