I think this is the beginning of Max fulfilling his and Tony's prediction of obtaining a million new Bitcoin users in 2012, as espoused at the Prague convention.

A next move would be to get Alex Jones fully on board.

Great video!

Some people mean 'backing' to mean a central authority promises (lies) to give you something else valuable in exchange for it. Bitcoin is not backed in that sense.

But in our case Bitcoin is the valuable thing itself. I almost think some people would rather a promise to pay bitcoin instead of bitcoin itself. Afterall the promise is 'backed' by somthing. Same thing with gold. A paper dollar used to be a promise that you could get gold, gold is not a promise to get anything and that's why it's better.

But somehow without central promises gold can be exchanged for stuff and so can bitcoin.

I'm a gold bug, and I love Bitcoin.

Anyone who understands WHY gold is good money should "get it" with bitcoin. Those who like gold for the wrong reasons probably wont, but whatev.

Stacy Herbert rocks too!

most folks fear what they don't understand. also the "not backed by anything" again and again. it's not a rational, but psychological thing. we have to learn to deal with that.

Bitcoin is not backed by any thing, because it's backed by people, by you: 2 billion internet users (soon  )

That's because Max was a Wall Street trader even back before they became the one percent. He saw the corruption that led to the "Greed is Good" mantra firsthand.

did you just say something good not resulting in something bad is the problem?
binary logic fail 

The first Bitcoin Episode, great!
