Bitcoin, Anarchy and Freedom with Roger Ver

Money is the common denominator in our current financial system, the currency that facilitates all of our daily interactions. We take its existence for granted, and while the debate in recent years has grown to include whether or not the government should "print more of it" or "print less of it," the lack of comprehension about how dollars, Euros, yen, pesos and other government regulated national currencies are themselves the very root of the problem, conceived in iniquity and born as debt owed to the commercial banking system itself has prevented the conversation from moving past this infantile debate.

Or...

Did I see a masonic handshake at the end? Check out the guest's wiggling thumb. Or maybe it's just RSI from fiddling with non-performing PDAs/iPads.

Video doesn't explain how or why bitcoins should be attributed any particular value or at all, no conceptual linkage e.g. to monetisation of executory promises among citizens. So host/guest think Bitcoin is good as gold, just ... 'valuable'.

Also is it really correct to say Bitcoin is anonymous? Doesn't the chain link all holders of a particular bitcoin in historic sequence?
