Actually a really great video and totally not what I would have expected from John Oliver. I really thought he would be making a lot more fun of cryptocurrencies in general, but the actual explanations were pretty good.
On the other hand, the comparison with Beenie Babies is a bit wrong though.
It was super wrong. A someone who not only has an Etsy store that had a Beanie Baby, but ended up selling it just last week for Bitcoin on OpenBazaar, I only charged $10 and I made sure in the description it stated what the value of it was (Good for cuddling only!). Writers on the show obviously had a an anti Bitcoin beanie bias going on, otherwise really great reporting, entertaining and informative.

I agree the beanie baby reference wasnt accurate Instead he should of held a $100 bill and told us that this piece of paper is technically worth less than a cent, but we have all agreed that it’s actually worth hundred dollars
