Thank you soooo much for this.
Watched day 1 and was like w00t! Then day 2 just blew my mind. When people said it was a lovefest they were right lulz. Gonna show all my friends when they come over to drink 2night.

you ruined it by including Sen. Mark Kirk!

I considered cutting him out, but I actually think it might be a good thing to leave him in there.

You have several Senators who have clearly put the time in to research Bitcoins who talk positive about Bitcoin.

Then on the other hand you have this guy who doesnt even seem to be able to operate his microphone, make an absurd statement; "it is so complicated it can be used for terrorism". He is such a perfect picture of someone who is so stupid and lazy no one will ever take him seriously. I mean you have to be pretty stupid to think that is a reasonable argument. I think he provides a hilarious contrast to the other Senators who seem very bright and well informed.

The hearing was for 2 days (monday-tuesday) or for the whole week?
Also is there an article covering the highlights of all days?

If you don't have 5 hours to watch the entire hearing I just put together a video with the highlights from the Senate hearing focusing mainly on the positive stuff. Each video is about 10 minutes.

It should also be a nice reference whenever anyone says the goverment will make Bitcoin illigal.
