The story went over well, for the most part, with the Bitcoin community; less so with The Good Wife community.

'The Good Wife' recap: Alicia versus the Internet
Meredith Blake
2011-01-16
http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/showtracker/2012/01/the-good-wife-recap-alicia-versus-the-internet.html
Apparently, Bitcoin is actually a real thing, invented by someone with the possibly pseudonymous name of Satoshi Nakamoto. I was totally ignorant of this phenomenon until I googled it after the show, and the discovery makes me sympathize with Alicia when she tells Zach, “This stuff makes me feel so dated.”
Executive producers Robert and Michelle King must have anticipated this response from their audience, because the episode does, in fact, play rather like “Bitcoin for Dummies.” One of the things I like about “The Good Wife” is how it educates viewers about specific legal or political issues, but even still this episode veers too far into didacticism for my taste.

An interesting observation from this reviewer..

--I wonder why the writers didn’t bother to come up with a fake name for “Bitcoin,” the way they’ve done with “FaceBranch”and “FactSwim” in the past.
Presumably this is because there is no 'bitcoin' corporation to sue the producers 
19th on Google Trends Whoo hoo!
It was at least as high as 6th at one point.

‘Good Wife’ Watch: Jason Biggs, Jim Cramer and Bitcoin Get in on the Action

It was a curious choice for “The Good Wife”: an episode built around an obscure digital currency called Bitcoin that many of the show’s viewers probably assumed was fictional. (If any Bitcoin evangelists find their way to this post, they can abuse me for calling the virtual money system, which went online in 2009, “obscure.”)

Perhaps this reviewer's perspective is how many regular viewers of The Good Wife will perceive the bitcoin aspect of the story.

Susan Toepfer is Entertainment/Features Editor of More magazine, but judging by this quote, perhaps fashion is more her thing than storylines.

lol wtf 30 cents???
yeap mtgox is not bitcoin!!!1!11 there is not only one exchange rate in the world for bitcoin!
I also noticed in other context (e.g. social networking and diaspora) that there are many people who cannot really grasp the concept of decentralization. Evolution still has some work to do.
+1
pretty much work indeed
It's not the main TED though. This is a TED university session. Had one at my University once a year ago. Thnk they're generally called TEDx, rather than TED.
TEDx events are never listed at the main TED conference page. TED University seems to be: http://conferences.ted.com/TED2012/program/

The digital currency called Bitcoin was conceived as a rebellion against the banking system. But it may also present business opportunities for banks that can get comfortable with the risks.
"There is a big role potentially for banks, just as banks deal in all sorts of other currencies like Euros and yen and dollars," says Gavin Andreson.
"As long as Bitcoin is a couple thousand mathematicians playing with each other no one cares, but when real transactions start to go on, that raises the question of how we tax this," says Bruce Abramson, the intellectual-property advisory partner for Rimon Law Group Inc. of San Francisco.
"The anonymous transfer of significant wealth is obviously a money-laundering risk, and at some level we are aware of Bitcoin and other similar operations, and we are studying the mechanism behind Bitcoin," says Steve Hudak, a spokesman for the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network.

Over the past summer, the price dropped to 30 cents after a hacking incident at a prominent Bitcoin exchange

Still a good thing though, just not Bill Gates level stuff.
