Topic: Bitcoin on BBC 'Click' (Read 1568 times)
I use 'proxmate' for chrome to watch US only videos. Not sure if it works vice versa.
Seemed a pretty fair representation of Bitcoin to me.
Seems like it will only play for people in the UK. Anyone know a simple way around this. I have this problem a lot from Countries like Canada, USA and UK. F(*%ers.
It was quite a well paced intro to how bitcoin works, but it did have some major omissions:
A) The supply is predictable and capped. (21M was not mentioned at any point).
B) It's been the best alternative investment on the planet for the last few years. (That's kind of crucial point when doing a news story on a new currency, no?)
C) No mention of its global nature, A viewer could be forgiven for thinking that this new money only applies to the UK.
Paraphrasing their summary of its value: "It fluctuates wildly and could collapse at any time". Talk about one sided.
Still, no such thing as bad press. I'd air it daily if I was in charge.

can someone put up a copy please?
Pretty fair piece, and decent explanation of the idea.
Did anybody catch the segment about Bitcoin on the BBC click show?
I'll post a link as soon as they publish it.
But I thought it was a fair representation of the currency.
What did you guys think?

You can watch it here, http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b02xdtd4, (toward the beginning of the show).
