Bitcoin goes Mainstream in Germany!

in #blockchain • 8 years ago (edited)

I just stumbled over a video from the state owned, German TV station "Das Erste"

Das Erste on Bitcoin

It was broadcasted on national TV in the first week of 2017.

Content.

  • What is Bitcoin?
    -> Proof of Concept Martijn Wismeijr buying a can of red bull with his Bitcoin wallet implant in his hand
  • Mining (german: "schürfen")
    -> basic concept of how Bitcoin is mined and the current state of mining facilities
  • Value of Bitcoin
    -> Bitcoin is referred to as digital gold, I quote:

"Damit sind Bitcoin ein endlicher Rohstoff, wie Gold"

translates to:

"This makes Bitcoin a finite resource, just like gold"

  • Genesis Mining
    -> visit to mining facilities in Iceland (cold air helps with cooling facility)
    -> talk about building new, steam powered facilities in Iceland

We can be sure to see Bitcoin interest surge in Germany over the course of 2017.
