  • Summary

  • [Contains explicit content] If money makes the world go around, then Bitcoin keeps The Dark Web spinning. But what it is and how does it work? How can you run a currency based on trust when everyone who uses it is anonymous?

    Geoff White, Channel 4 News's former Technology Reporter, uncovers the mystery of Bitcoin — and speaks to the Royal Mint about this potential competitor currency.

BitCoin became the VISA of the Dark Web

I wouldn't say this was an episode trying to describe BitCoin, but sounds more to be something along the lines of how BitCoin evolved over time on the Dark Web. Very interesting simplified method of how something works. I think if you were to truly attempt to describe it in detail it would take several hours if not longer.

Jeezus Christ people are retarded.

If your confused about what this podcast and/or episode is about you need to read the description again. This man is informing everyone about how fucked up the dark web is and what his research found about how bitcoin is used to buy drugs on the dark web. He never claimed to know all about bitcoin or that he was explaining how bitcoin actually works. If you want to find out about bitcoin find another damn podcast. Yall sound petty talking about how he's not telling it right, because of him I know how foul and disgusting the dark web is.... If you don't get that from these podcasts your a moron.

I bought crypto currency for about a year not knowing I was supporting this kind of shit. So yes he's right bitcoins days are numbered...

Not really educational

This is in no way an introduction to bitcoin nor was the journalist really thorough about supporting his idea. Bitcoin is probably the hardest thing to report on given its complexity. Please don’t take this as anything more than a simple opinion. The journalist did not do well in informing himself or the readers of the information he presented. It’s an opinion at best and very shallow.

????? Huh ?????

Will need to listen again. I am very confused and so maybe if I have to listen again & still 🤔 don't understand, then I am going to will blame the person who wrote this article. This person has to make his/her audience understand the headline or there either needs to be more research or this chapter needs to be written in such a way that their audience understands or why write it! Deduct 1 star 🌟 until I am able to update this review. Listening now for the second time!

*After listening to this podcast #3 for a second time, I would say that I have absolutely no idea how to buy bitcoins or how it relates to the articles topic. My rating is actually less than b4...
