I thought it was pretty good, I didn't notice the transactions he was making lol but the thing is this episode he did was actually very well balanced and they talked to people who knew what they were on about, well except for that prick of a politician of course but we all knew he was full of shit long ago.
My favourite part was the guy who brought in a hacker he knew to tell him about the security because none of the other journalists ever did that.

I actually fairly enjoyed that. Very well presented. Good for mainstream audience to see this wonderful technology.
This whole thing was a joke. If you look at the addresses he used in the coffee shop, they literally have 2 transactions. They havent been used since filming, it was a BS thing.
I figured that place probably only took his bitcoin for the show, but that doesn't make the whole thing a joke. It's important that people think about asking businesses to take Bitcoin. Most of the people he asked if they took it, had never even heard of it.

I almost puked when that Senator said how we need to arrest and bring to justice those who steal from people. Well you politicians didn't do so well arresting those so far involved with known billion dollar financial crimes. Was that the FED he was stood outside?
Well he has a point tho. If nothing is done exchanges will keep bailing out.
The point is hes a hypocrite, that makes his whole credit means shit.
You cant collectively choose to enforce law on only one group of ppl while turn your eyes blind on others. If you look at the damages alone, financial crimes from banks and cooperation alone is 1000x the bitcoin marketcap alone!

What I'm saying is the establishment has allowed billions of dollars possibly Trillions of peoples wealth to be stolen by inflation and other very real financial crimes that have resulted in no arrests. Google too big to jail.
I just finished watching it. Was pleasantly surprised. Seemed pretty fair and well balanced overall and I think the mainstream who will watch it will feel the same and hopefully it'll pique their interest to delve in deeper.
As any journalist should be.
Ha. Maybe he can do a full feature length doc at some point in the future.
Just saw the whole episode by Morgan ..
I felt the episode is actually pro bitcoin even though he tried to be neutral in his take on bitcoin..

Watch the Rise and Rise of Bitcoin if you want a full in depth documentary of Bitcoin. Well done:

Was expecting some snark or some dismissal or this is monopoly or funny money or some biased slant...but this documentary piece was surprising positive!
Morgan Spurlock does a fine job, no condescension, and actually transacts with Bitcoin like he intends to throughout. Wish they'd show more Andreas though.

Gotta love the senator..... ban it because its used for drugs.... yet USD is not banned?
"Its something that Fed Reserve should regulate, just like our currency"
" but our currency is bad right now"
" at least we know its bad "
Who the fuck vote for this guy?
Hes dumb no doubt but his supporters must be beyond dumb.

Here is how I imagine it happening: old Rockefeller or whoever is in the control looks at Bitcoin and says: "holy shit you mean we can track everyone using this forever and basically assume control of the network with enough equipment, shill it to the moon!"
thats how mainstream came to love and accept Bitcoin.

Not bad for something from the mainstream media.

It was a great documentary, pretty objective. The regulation thing is indeed a problem. People don't want to get robbed without possibility of finding the chiefs.
Although not a fan of the presenter I think it was actually one of the best shows I have seen about Bitcoin (that doesn't come across as being created by "fan boys").
I particularly thought it was great that he bought a fake Rolex using Silk Road 2.0 with the help of an (ex?) FBI agent.

from my research, the video was done last year and was going to be released on CNN mid year, but with the whole price dump and financial fears, cnn money decided it was not the best time to release it.
but now that it has stablised at what many people consider a collective opinion that bitcoin should be around this price. cnn money decided it was time to release the show and get the public awareness up so that they can start talking about it more just as the winklevoss and other 'wall street' people start coming in on the action

Yeah, I was wondering why they took so long to show it, as the price has fallen a lot from the 600 range they're talking about. But I'm sincerely glad they finally showed it.
I was telling people to share it with their friends and family (and I did to mine), the youtube link made it that much easier. Morgan retweeted someone linking to the youtube video himself, so maybe it won't be taken down. Who knows though.

Thanks for the review and link. I had to double check because I missed it too.
