Juding him on a performance in 2012, is a bit rough. Those critiquing him likely wouldn't do it better.

I'd like to know why it is that people willingly choose not to dress appropriately for a TV interview in which appearance is clearly a vital part of the presentation?

Appearance isn't everything - judge on the content. Do you really want him to look like a bankster!? He looked like one of us; one among many, rather than representing a vested interest perpetuating exisiting power and wealth. Good luck to him I say.

Also, I swaer this thread is going in circles now. Repeat FUD and read again.

Wasn't the BBC video this year? The five or so speeches I've seen him given have all been the same. Rambling and very poor.

I also have more respect for people who don't wear suits or go dressed like something they're not. A person could turn up in flip-flops, shorts and a Hawaiian shirt to give a presentation for all I care, but as long as they articulate their point across coherently and concisely. If I had no idea about Bitcoin, I still wouldn't after watching his presentations, except for maybe Bitcoin seems like it's used almost exclusively for avoiding tax and other such nefarious activity.
