Upcoming Bitcoin TED Talk from Bill Barhydt, CEO of m-Via

Bill Barhydt just posted the following to his Google+ page:
Want to participate in preparing a TED talk on Bitcoin? I'm (+Bill Barhydt) giving a 10 minute short-talk on Bitcoin during TED in a few weeks. The talk will happen during one of the TED University sessions.

My goal with this talk is to get people interested enough in Bitcoin to look into it more and get involved in the movement. To help, I'd like to know:

1. What does Bitcoin mean to you?
2. What do you think of Bitcoin's potential future?
3. What are the best uses of Bitcoin that you've seen so far?
4. Do you think Bitcoin will become a mainstream currency or investment asset type or both? Why/why not?
5. Does Bitcoin need to be improved? How?
6. Any other thoughts on Bitcoin?

Make sure you pay him a visit and give him some ideas. Bill Barhydt is an accomplished entrepreneur with an obvious interest in financial services; this will be a great opportunity to spread the word on Bitcoin.

  1. When is the ted talk supposed to be? I think we can expect a price hike right after it. :-)

  2. I am a bitcoin miner in St. Louis. I just found out today on this website that that Grubgo (https://www.eatgrubgo.com/bitcoin.htm) accepts bitcoins!!

    I normally trade the bitcoins I earn for cash, but now I can just buy food and groceries directly from 16 different restaurants/businesses in St. Louis through Grubgo.

    Some of the locations:

    Pi pizzaria
    drunken fish sushi
    bandana's barbeque and grill
    Serendipity ice cream

    1. This is an amazing step for bitcoin because by grubgo accepting bitcoins, all the places they deliver for do even if they do not at the actual location.
