Liberty Forum 2013: Bitcoin Introduction

bitcoin_v1patchThis video set from the New Hampshire Liberty Forum details what may become the most significant technological and economic innovation for advancing human liberty. Bitcoin, a crypto-currency that has multiplied in value over the last year, seems to be replacing silver and other precious metals as the best investment and inflation hedge. With a fixed rate of production, there is no counterfeiting concern, from either third parties or the issuing authority. The digital platform allows for any quantity of payment to be distributed to anywhere that can connect to the internet, almost instantly. Bitcoin eclipses modern financial institutions in terms of transaction processing abilities, and the decentralized design of the program provides multiple layers of security to meet the user’s custom needs. Hosting the panel on the revolutionary alternative to fiat currency are Erik Vorhees, Roger Ver, and Charlie Shrem. Since being uploaded three days ago to the Fr33manTVraw channel, the first of eight videos from the presentation has over 1500 views.

Telegraph, Union Leader Report on Keene Bitcoin Network

BitcoinI didn’t even send out a press release for it, but a recent post here announcing the Keene Bitcoin Network facebook group has resulted in the story being picked up by both the Union Leader (their NewHampshire.com division linked the story here) and the Nashua Telegraph. The Telegraph’s David Brooks of the “Granite Geek” column took the time to write up an original piece about the network.

Thanks for the coverage. Just for the record, Bitcoin isn’t new to the liberty community – the Free State Project’s Porcfest 2012 was reported as the biggest Bitcoin event in the world, with vendors across the campground accepting Bitcoin as payment for a variety of goods.
