Always amazes me
The Bitcoin software, network, and concept is called "Bitcoin" with a capitalized "B". Bitcoin currency units are called "bitcoins" with a lowercase "b" -- this is often abbreviated BTC.

Yes, that it is!  Expensive in a sense but utterly worth it.

Masterful deception in the video; everything he says about how he makes the pads is true but misleading. Full story is at http://archive.woz.org/letters/general/78.html

Yes, he implies a lot but does not seem to say that he PRINTS them himself.  He buys the paper from a printer (the us government) and then pays a local printer (who does not print the money) to turn the sheets into perforated pads.  Clever.

So each $2 bill costs him way more, and if he does ever offer to sell a whole sheet to you for $5, TAKE IT.
