In his usual style of comedy and editorial John Oliver provides a humorous account of Bitcoin and alt-coins (alternative coins) on his show LastWeekTonight.
Oliver highlights both the dramatic fortunes that have been made in Bitcoin trading but also the teething problems that it is undergoing as a new technology. Oliver also reflects the dangers of some alt-coins and translates the lingo that have been ‘coined’ in the crypto-communities.
