With all respect, but i cant watch bitcoinrush, is there a single person who finds host appealing? I lasted precisely 2 minutes...
ok, I think I'll have to pipe up here.
Taking a theatrical approach to what is otherwise a very informative show is always going to be controversial because we're used to a 'binary world' where fact is fact and fiction is fiction and where documentaries are presented as straight dialog and theatre is reserved for entertainment. (Another one I always avoid is madbitcoins....

But if you think about it, that's quite a square way of looking at things.
I think it reflects just as much on us as an audience as it does the content because it shows how we are programmed from birth to see the world with a binary mindset - good/evil, fact/fiction, truth/lies, comedy/documentary.
Although I share the reservations of many about this type of approach, I admire the attempt to avoid lapsing into this "square paradigm". It isn't easy to do this type of thing well and I think, despite people's reservations about the character, it's been well produced, is informative and a bit whacky.
It has challenged people's mindsets - not only about cryptocurrencies but about other aspects of communication as well. That's a good thing.
So I'm going against the grain and giving this a thumbs up I'm afraid. I remember feeling like this about Monty Python's because it just didn't "fit" my idea of what comedy was back than. But in passing it over look what a gem I missed. Took me another 25 years to start appreciating it by the time I got loose enough with myself
Now I love it.
It is what it is and whatever it is, an original work that's had a lot of effort and attention to detail put into it is worth a thousand made-to-measure hollywood shows in my book.
You never know - it might become a classic in years to come !
