  • That's the problem with good vs. bad economics. The good takes a long time to convey and explain while the bad is relatively easy and short. Plus advocates of the bad can dismiss the good views as overly intellectual and thus out of touch with the common man. Sucks, but that's how it is.

  • I prefer the continuity of having a speech like this, all in one stream, rather than chopped up like most YouTubers do.

    That's just my opinion, but I find them handy. You don't have to keep restarting the video.

  • the problem isn't a matter of choice. Unless you gain special permission from youtube by becoming a partner tyhen your video uploads are limited to ten minutes. Whenever I upload long videos they have to be in ten minute segments.

  • I've had "diced and sliced" videos, connected in playlists, simply not reliably jump to the next video.

    Having them as single files is much, much easier all around. Especially with the DownloadHelper firefox extension, which I cannot recommend highly enough.

    Now if only YouTube would give up on this idiotic flash format, and move to a rational open video standard.

  • 'Till it goes up.

  • NicNasty1981 pretty much got it. Try buying gold coins. The French and Swiss Francs are all sold out.

  • gold and oil have been falling cause hedge funds, banks and countries have been selling of things with REAL value to pay off their debts. However this has all changed. Gold is bouncing back but hasnt gone below its trend line if youre into market analysis. Anyway gold and oil are now on their way up. Check the charts.

    Also gold in the black market and real life has been selling for more than its market levels!

  • Youtube's law: bad videos drive out good one's.

    And why were people so serious back in the 80's?

  • perhaps break this vid into parts?  no editing, just <10 min. parts. this vid could be a 4-part playlist. since misesmedia doesn't upload a new vid everyday, this vid could be posted 1 part a day.

    the gold std. is important for people to understand. i think that shorter vids are easier to finish and comprehend for voters with short attention spans like mine =).

    besides, when you have kids running around the house, breaking shit, every min. is priceless.

    i do agree: more info is better.
