John Oliver Did a Segment about Crypto on His Show Last Night! What Did You Think of it?

I have to say that I was pretty impressed with the segment John Oliver did about crypto last night! If you haven't seen it you definitely should watch it now!


He does a pretty good job explaining blockchain tech which is important! I also think he was being pretty objective about the whole thing considering he doesn't own any crypto.

I was a teeeeny bit offended that he was poking fun at EOS....since I do own a decent amount of EOS and do believe it will be HUGE. He also mentioned Doge, Deep Onion, and others!
So, what did you think? I think that any information presented in a clear and non objective way is good for the whole crypto-sphere.

I also was really hoping that he was going to mention something about Steem and Steemit, alas he did not.
(I also wanted to post this on @zappl as a Zap since I wasnt writing a whole blog post about it, and I just woke up but it doesn't seem like its working...is Zappl working for anyone else? I tried a couple times and it never went through!)
I'm looking forward to connecting with you in the comments below! Steem on!

haha I'm Dan

Haha as I watched it I was thinking "oh no...I wonder if people think of me that way..." I think I'm Dan too...

That should be a new crypto phrase like hodl and fud. SOmeone should start makign shirts saying "I'm Dan" or "We're Dan" lol

the more the mainstream media covers us good or bad! Its great!

Ah the old saying "all publicity is good publicity!" I guess I was just relieved he was pretty objective, considering how much FUD has been circulating recently...I was pleasantly surprised!

It is good that he gave a neutral point of view on the cryptoworld. Okay, it is not CNN or another business channel, who is presenting this to the world but he will probably reach more regular people than other media.
Every drop helps, and someone needs to be the first. Others will follow him!

Yeah I agree! Im so sick of hearing all the negativity, we need some good news :)

Im glad mainstream media is picking it up and to be fair he gave crypto a fair run and didn't try to nail it like ive seen on the news. I love John Oliver and its really the first time he gave both pros and cons equally on a topic. usually he makes up his mind and he goes for the jugular in histerical fashion

The first time I watched his show (years ago) I really didn't like him but he grew on me, and now I love him! His humor is so strange, lol. I was pleased how he presented both sides!

It is good to see it being talked about more, but I would prefer it receive some serious coverage instead of from a comedian hack.

I understand what you are saying! I think that comedy though can bring in new people that wouldn't have considered investing in crypto before. Some of the crypto talk can go over the heads of people who have no idea about it. Its pretty dense information but he presented it in a funny way which people can relate with.

we have the same post content and more older than your post, but still you got more votes.. lmao.. anyway congrats.. no hurt feeling.. lol :^D

Yeah I wanted to post this as a "zap" on Zappl which is like the Steem version of Twitter (since I just woke up and cant write a whole blog post) but it wasnt working. Im lucky that some people vote for me regularly. I also use @resteembot to get some more views.

Me too... Thanks for sharing.. :-)

I thought it was really funny and he made some great points but I had to take issue with what he said about EOS. In fact I decided to do a whole blog post about just that. Would be cool if you checked it out.

I'll check it out right now! :)

I watched it. It was funny but with so little info.
I did not like how he criticised EOS so harshly.

hello my friend new in steemit, i see your post many interesting, may i ask my friend advice, because my purpose in steemit this one. If I succeed, then I plan to petrify my brothers of distress and lack. that's my goal
