It's a shame that Amir Taaki bloke was interviewed. He doesn't say interesting things, he speaks as if every sentence is a question, he confuses instead of clarifies... it's a dire shame Gavin Anderson or one of the other more 'grown-up' talking-heads on bitcoin wasn't on the show instead.

There were many good points that could have been made here that were not. Max managed to cover for him in the interview but I hope Max will still take bitcoin seriously and will discuss bitcoin on his show again.

This guy is the master of tangents, he barley answered one question directly even though the interviewer was asking all the perfect, easy answer, 'bitcoin is great' type questions. facepalm

^^this.

I have a great deal of respect for Amir in setting up Britcoin, but that's twice now I've seen him do a complete disservice to bitcoin in front of a very large potential audience. The other being that Amsterdam payments conference video. Both times I could not stop hearing "And this one time...at band camp..."

It's tough on the guy as a young programmer thrust in front of a camera, but this early stage exposure is too important to mess up. We might not get another shot at mainstream tv. sigh. Why don't they invite Rick Falkvinge on to talk about bitcoin? Odds on he would knock softball questions like those out of the park.

This is why the weusecoins animation style video are so much more valuable, it takes the showmanship out of the equation. People intrinsicly trust a voice over
