This could be the moment that rockets the popularity of bitcoin. Most of the people watching mainstream media don't know what bitcoin is.

The central idea in most countries is the banks are screwing the average joe. Billions in bailouts, billions in fees etc. Now there is this new e-currency that basically has no banks. We need to use that to our advantage.

Loved that video, good find

LOL. This hack got us soooo much easy publicity.

I know. There are a couple more fuck ups in that video. But that is what you get for watching mainstream media.

Wow, not bad. With this and the incoming article on the economist (a new one, according to the following post http://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=19030.0) bitcoin's popularity could reach unforseen heights.

I, for one, though that the hack on mtgox would have a worst effect on btc's economy. Glad I was mistaken.

they want to regulate a decentralized system?

best wishes  to cnbc.

Never underestimate human curiosity.

The news about the hack will have a more positive than negative impact on curious parties. Epic win!

yeah, those hacks is just prove that bitcoins have a real value
