RE: John Oliver does a good job explaining Bitcoin & cryptocurrencies. But, there are a few things he left out...

I agree! Upwards of 4 million people watch his videos every week, and I wouldn't be surprised if many of them look to John Oliver for regular news updates on what's important in the world. So, this was definitely a big moment. I thought some of his criticisms were out of context and in the wrong direction, but there's nothing wrong with throwing shade at cryptos right now, given how absurd some people can be. Though, it all needs to be very specific, otherwise people will make huge mental leaps that are not factual. It'll be interesting to watch how the culture (US and abroad) shifts in 2018.
