Bloomberg anchor gets Bitcoin on live TV and is promptly robbed by a viewer

[derby378]

A business news anchor who was given a Bitcoin certificate on air was promptly robbed after he briefly displayed the digital currency.

Bloomberg TV anchor Matt Miller gave two colleagues, Adam Johnson and Trish Regan, $20 in digital currency in a “12 Days of Bitcoin” segment.

But Johnson unwittingly displayed the digital QR code for his money to the camera, and a viewer was able to use the private key to take his Bitcoin.

My Monopoly money will outbuy your Bitcoins in the tulip market. When that happens, everything will come up roses.
