This video is a waste of time.

The guy doesn't even know what mining is for and why difficulty is rising.
And many more half-backed answers...

The interviewee refers to the Bitcoin bubble and says

This is a 20-minute video interview between the author of an Australia-based investment newsletter (Doug Denning) and a guy who writes on tech issues for investors ( Sam Volkering). Volkering's level of tech sophistication is above the mainstream media but well below the level on this board. On the other hand, he has a good understanding of traditional investments and markets IMHO. He comments that price volatility undermines BTC's use as a currency because it's a poor store of value. He thinks that long-term, the best thing for Bitcoin's future would be a crash from present exchange rates, leading to price stability.

The interview is designed to pique conventional investors' interest in attending a conference in Australia being promoted by Denning and his newsletter publisher.
