when an interviewer asks you what is backing Bitcoin say "it is backed by hundreds of thousands of ppl who have made a conscious decision to not let their govt's devalue their money every time a bank demands a bailout".
when someone like David Birch says that fiat money is backed by the govt's power to tax don't just let that go w/o a response. say "oh that's just great...you mean our gov't can not only devalue our money by printing it for their own purposes but also back that same money by taking even more of it away from us via taxes?".

Are there any 7-11s or CVS in Canada?
Canada has 7-11s and Walmarts but you can't buy bitcoins at any of them yet.
its funny the other guy next to you (Dave Berch?), appears to be becoming more open to bitcoin
But he doesn't buy the idea of it becoming a, "uhh, World Currency, or, Galactic Currency," or... something.
Who proposed Bitcoin as the currency of the Solar System? That was a strange, enjoyable digression.
Bitcoin!
the only way to trade in the milky way

Charlie, well done once getting past the initial nerves. 
edit: what i liked most is that when you're relaxed you're able to speak about alot of important concepts quickly which is helpful when you don't have alot of time.

I don't quite know what to say except... WOOOOO! gjgj!
gjgj!
Nicely done Charlie! Any other interviews in the works?

Sound's like he's blaming the Euro for the crash, instead of the real problem, which is fractional lending mixed with deregulation and tax funded bailouts.

You can't make a single currency work for Germany and Greece, so the idea that you can make it work for the whole world, or the whole solar system, is ridiculous.

I'm fairly disappointed by your reply to the "what is Bitcoin backed by?" question. I don't think they were looking for a lecture on "Econ 101: Supply and Demand".
Otherwise, good job!
Otherwise, good job!
so where's our video link?
@charlieshrem and Dave Birch look at digital money. Is it safer than traditional currency? Find out here: http://ow.ly/bABm5 @CTVNews

Charlie mispronounced "Keynesianism" but other than that he did great
I tried reading that slowly in my head and mispronounced it so I think I'll let it slide...
THANK YOU..RIGHT?
Damn, its a hard word to pronounce especially when your arguing with someone on national tv live.
Oh well, it was only Canada so no biggie
Good job Charlie (and Erik!)
Keep spreading the good word!
