Paxman talking Bitcoin... I need to sit down!
Nice and balanced, though Trace definitely came out on top there.
Topic: omfg bitcoin is on newsnight (Read 3255 times)
Enjoyed watching that link, Paxman seemed genuinely interested.
$0.25 to $80 in 3 years should get just about anyone genuinely interested.
BTW Trace, that was a killer apperance, you were amazing!
Sweet, Bitcoin is heading slowly but surely for the mainstream!
Just seen it. Yeah, Paxman, he's gotta be worth +$5 on the Mtgox price all on his own!
And I don't think the 'anti-bitcoin' guy was a muppet. He made reasonable points, but Trace Mayer countered them effectively.

If anything I thought anti-bitcoin-guy had it written all over his face that he had a wallet full of them
Haha maybe. The anti-bitcoin guy certainly didn't convince me. Did you hear him describe the problems with the gold standard

I think his GCSE Economics held up well

Really good coverage!
Nicely impartial and grownup - don't expect that too often!

Their bitcoin rep. came off very well, right away he came out with 5 or so key features of "why bitcoin", and continued to give sound answers.
Their "anti-bitcoin" guy came off as a complete muppet, who seemed like he probably learned about bitcoin from the intro of the show.
"uhhh, the price, is umm up, but it's not good ehhh...mumble...gold...hmmm...drugs?"
+1 for bitcoin

The "skeptic" on there seems smart but he should stick to writing haha
its paxman
Yea it was Paxman
Maybe he is just afraid he'll come over as an idiot if he criticizes something he doesn't fully understand?
Could any TV pundit/commentator/interviewer/newscaster actually HAVE that level of self-awareness and intellectual integrity?
Actually I rarely watch Newsnight. Can someone just tell me, is it Paxo or not?
Best coverage ive seen yet in the UK. As a brit i can tell you the presenter of that show is an extremely aggressive interviewer normally, so for it to go that passively is huge!

Doing that when something is going down is no problem for most people, when it's shining.. not so much. (Didnt stop Chris Duane though
)

I just heard about this, a mate who ive been ranting at for the last 8 months text me, big massive lol! Thats a real mainstream show, millions in the uk will see that. Gonna go try and go watch it now 
This is cool but there has been tons of coverage on mainstream news tv in the past so this isn't a first. Hopefully people will see the growth and see the various companies accepting BTC and it will help continue to grow the market.
if you live in the UK you will know this is major serious shit!
