great final quote: "Money is a confidence game; people are starting to gain confidence in bitcoins"
It just proves that non-techie medias could get things right if they really put some time to do their homework, so all the journalists ot there, stop slacking.

It took me a week to understand Bitcoin, and I have a masters degree in a technological direction, and I already had a strong affinity with computer science and cryptography. But then I had a very skeptical attitude and really wanted to understand how it works under the hood.
I have a similar tech background, and I have to admit that it took me almost two weeks before I 'groked' Bitcoin. After that, I drove my family crazy about it for months. I agree that this guy shouldn't be faulted for a few correctable misconceptions, his intention is obviously favorable.
Although he wasnt great technically (by our high standards), this is amazing coverage for the mainstream. I guarantee more than a few people will be googling after watching that
He looked a little nervous, maybe distracted by the Bloomberg babe sitting across from him - but he did a good job.
"Chainblock" was pretty amusing though.
The best was the bloomberg girl saying "Hear that Bernanke, no QE!" - SCORE.

For those of you who are (like me) ignorant about many of the details of how the whole banking system scams everyone but themselves. QE is qualitative easing http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantitative_easing
Except some minor inconsistencies he did a good job and I am happy to see the enthusiasm instead of the constant bashing.

Listening to this, I think the guy is very new to Bitcoin. Still, the essence of his story is correct, and I think he deserves credit for that.

I think this guy had access to some resources that really explained Bitcoin well for non-technical people. I think we need more of that type of resources: they can really work in our advantage.

Very awesome, positive segment. It seemed the interviewer was more interested in actually learning about Bitcoin then trying to hurpderp discredit it offhand.
It's been a while since we have seen the last real FUD article, hasn't it? Overall tone in the press is quite positive recently.
Yea, but it's still nice to see
Nice one
Bob Rice is working for the same company as Jim Rickards. I would be curious to know if his opinion evolved on bitcoin.

It's funny to watch someone being interviewed as an expert on bitcoin when he clearly knows very little about it.

"Harder to manufacture":
I don't have a problem with this.
It gets the point across of the rate at which bitcoins come into existence in layman terms.
"Chainblock":
The guy obviously did about a day's worth of research and couldn't remember the exact term. Happens to me all the time.
The reporter also understood the difference between BTC and fiat. I loved the QE and Bernanke references at the end.
Overall, a great piece of news from MSM and helps alleviate some of the fears and obscurity of BTC for the sheeple.
I'll take that any day of the week.

I think this is one of the most intelligent piece of video related to bitcoin.
