This is so pitiful, at least the hosts are entertaining.

So, who still thinks Bitcoin is secure, fast and convenient currency: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vnm4xFC2xNo

I had seen that a few days ago, not sure where I saw the link in the first place though. The whole video is basically showing just how far the entire basis of the movement has slipped. Just seeing that video makes me think of all the backs that have been broken to get this where it is today.

Sad indeed to see such a revolutionary concept being tied to a tree and embarrassingly beaten until it bleeds so freely.

What was once thought of as the vessel to carry us into a new world has become nothing but a real world joke.

It's very apparent, right now, that this is failing miserably. It's a toy with no more appeal to it than a common fad like a child's toy (note the adorable colors of the atm itself).

This movement needs a new face, or someone needs to start standing their ground. Of course, how could you stand without the correct tools on which to base the movement?

Afterthought:
Given this video as an example, I'd love to see different ways of getting this currency traded for a dollar. Easy ways that don't require your ID's, hand print, and eye scan, DNA, first born, a notable percentage of your wealth in the will . . etc. Sadly, representing oneself as a currency trader/exchanger comes with inevitable regulations that can (and are currently) easily be adapted to ruin the sale due to preexisting regulations we've placed on ourselves. Focusing on how easily it can be done .. it would seem some form of representation would be required in order to prevent this from happening.

Of course, the requirement for representation would only serve to centralize the idea of a decentralized currency. I think this is where many people are losing the concept. The basis of decentralization can only serve to clash with the world in which this was brought into. Naturally, the only outcome to this I see is to centralize the coin or decentralize the world. Right now the world is much bigger than the coin, so as a result videos like this will only continue to pop up. I guess I can understand, given that everyone's only trying to fit this into a world that makes sense to them. This is telling me that the concepts and fundamentals are being lost amongst the noise.

It is easier to play clown and ridicule than to understand. Just the way the pronounce bitcoin get on my nerves. I agree that the concepts and fundamentals are being lost amongst the noise. Indeed.
