steve wozniak. that should be interesting to see., and i know you loved all as well. >> i did. i think it's fantastic. robert redford did a great job and he should be nominated for best actor, the way he carried that movie. >> and what a hard job that was. the way way back, fruitvale station, marvelous film, and finally, american hustle, though you didn't care about the people, it was a great sense of fun, and quickly paced. looking forward to seeing that, haven't seen that one yet. >> frozen for the entire family, one of the few movies. it's about two girls for once, and filimena,. >> i loved it and the films that you mentioned all belong on a top ten list and i think you did a fantastic job with that, it just shows the richness in hollywood this year, which is so refreshing to see. >> yes, we need it. we definitely need it. it's not lawrence of arabia and the king's speech, but it certainly has a lot of value in it. >> there were a lot of strong films. i think you're right. there was no memorable movie that's going to last for deca

reminds me of the home brew computer club where steve jobs and steve wozniak first introduced the appleazing universe going on around the software with bitcoin to do mining. >> have you imagined to unearth a bitcoin? >> i have not. do you feel how hot these are right now? >> yeah, that's warm to the touch. >> i was afraid to leave it running overnight in my office because i didn't want to burn buzzfeed down. i think i can get to a dollar a day. my friend who helped me build this thinks we can get to about a dollar a day if i leave it on continuously. >> you probably do better on your day job. >> absolutely. this is the point, bitcoin is staggering. there must be hundreds of thousands of people involved in creating software, mining applications, all these different platforms to run it on, hardware keys on amazon for $49. there's people selling mining shares in iceland right now if you want to get into that market by basically buying a fractional mining share. it's a whole elaborate ecosystem. >> what makes you think this has staying power as a currency? why is this not going to be a fad

this diy has backers like steve wozniak and nancy strict ler. alex, i want to ask, we've seen a couple of these products so far where kids can piece things together and kind of code. how big is the market for smart kids? i mean, seems like it might be kind of small particularly in the u.s. judging by the stats. so is this a labor of love? or do you think it's really going to take off? >> well, you know, you look at the raspberry pie, the kind of single board machine that powers the computer. that alone has already sold 1.5 million units in just over a year. i think there's a real urge out there and not just among kids to start tinkering and playing with technology again. which really takes us back to where computing really started. i think, you know, not only is there a big market for people who want to start making their own computers, but there will be a big secondary market down the line of people who are kids today inventing the next machines, the next devices that shape our cultures in the next decade. >> so best case scenario, what can kid

collaborations in the internet and computer age, and one of things i discovered is people like steve jobs who form a wozniakn with steve or mark zuckerberg, who cooperates with sheryl sandberg, tended to succeed. i also think about bill gates, 10, 12 years ago, saying we will be in internet-centered company. it did not happen at microsoft, but about one year ago, mark zuckerberg said we're going to be a mobile-focused network, and he would not even attend a meeting in which people pitched products that were first for the pc as opposed to mobile-first. he wasnings showed that able to turn a company and make it mobile-first. that is awesome. >> where is the trajectory of a mark zuckerberg question rick where do you see him in the next 10 years? >> i see him running a great company. facebook is getting into new content. i look forward to pages, something i will be able to hit and have a microphone -- magazine on my phone. unlike google, where you have to logon, facebook, in some ways, is allowing you different apps. >> one of the things that comes story that you have right there, zuckerberg is a pragmatist. fa
