Trivia The title of this episode, as well as much of the story, is based on a real system, also called "Bitcoin."Bitcoin is a decentralized electronic monetary and payments system utilizing peer-to-peer networking, electronic signatures and encrypted proof which enables supposedly irreversible payments between parties without requiring trust.Made in Bitcoins (abbreviated BTC), said payments are made by electronic (or digital) monetary instruments, or currency, which are originated and electronically transferred by the Bitcoin network.bitcoin geld sendenSee more » Quotes : Here's your cashier's check.uber ethereal long warIt only took 20 minutes standing in line in the bank to change dollar bills to another piece of paper.bitcoin deutschland ag aktien

Create » ?bitcoin tunisieAlthough a fairly low energy episode, requiring far too much attention to tedious detail, “Bitcoin for Dummies” delivers a big payoff: In a surprising twist, Kalinda is forced to betray either Will or Alicia.Her decision has the potential to bring one lawyer to ruin.But first, the court case: The drama opens to the ominous beat of what turns out to be Timbre, Timbre’s “Magic Arrow,” signaling a gun fight.

Dylan Stack (“American Pie’s” Jason Biggs) sits alone, anxious but defiant, in the Lockhart, Gardner waiting room.Soon enough, two Federal Treasury agents show up, warning, “This isn’t a game, Mr.Stack.” Alicia, stunning in a shirred jersey dress I believe we have seen before, comes to his rescue.Stack has contacted Mrs.Florrick because of her own successfully resolved troubles with Treasury.He practices digital law in New York; the Feds want him to give up the name of a client who invented “bitcoin,” a new currency traded and spent online.Stack has promised his client anonymity, but the FBI says it’s a violation of federal law for individuals to create currency systems.Confronted with the prospect of 18 months in jail if he doesn’t submit to questioning, Stack tosses wads of cash on Alicia’s desk and asks her to represent him.“I’m putting on a good face,” he says.“Actually, I’m terrified.” Subscribe or Sign In Popular on WSJ Most Popular Videos Film Clip: 'The Big Sick' A New Road to Income: Barron's Buzz 'Bridge Crew': Voice Command Comes to 'Star Trek' VR Videogame Lower Your Wireless Bill With These Tips Opinion Journal: Macron vs.

Oh, that crazy internet with the dot-com and the computers and the gloyven and the floyven!Yes, The Good Wife is back with another look at a fun corner of the brave new world of the internet, but unlike that very shaky Facebook episode from last year, this bitcoin outing was a lot of fun.Much like last week, it gave us a relatively frothy case of the week with some fun twists and turns, while moving the background plot along much more forebodingly.Unlike last week, it also featured Zack cleverly using Jackie’s words to ensure Alicia back off in his growing relationship with Nisa.But I would say inarguably the biggest twist here was the revelation of Wendy’s detailed case against Will and the extent of his wrongdoing, which is fairly minor but enough to possibly land him in trouble.Through one of Elsbeth’s drunken-master maneuvers, they get the names of the judges she’s after – including Winter and Parks, who we’ve seen many times on the show, played by Peter Reigert and David Fonteno respectively.

Will also reveals that he was forgiven a debt of $8,000 by the bookie who worked with a lot of these judges, but insists he did nothing wrong and finds only one case where it might look like a judge went easy on them – “sometimes the ball bounces funny,” as he put it.Hmm, so that seems rather open-and-shut, doesn’t it?Because Wendy also has that possibly forged document that Alicia signed last week and is happy to use that to bring her down unless Kalinda coughs up info on Will.It’s a great twist, a clever one, that’s not too dramatic and uses Alicia’s major psychodrama from last week really well – glad to know that wasn’t just some one-off moment of high stakes.It’s great when a show pays off moments like that throughout the year.Plus it also means that everything from here on is F. Murray Abraham’s fault, since he forwarded the document to Wendy.By the end of the episode, things are looking bleak for poor Will, who shows real fear for the first time when he tells Kalinda he doesn’t want to go to jail.

Diane is already signaling that she’ll need to know when Will is on the rocks so she can plan her next move.Will is allowing Kalinda to operate extra-legally to dispose of some possibly circumstantial evidence that wouldn’t make him look too good.Even Elsbeth’s off-kilter nervousness seemed a little less staged this week.So when Kalinda handed that folder over to Dana, I couldn’t help but gasp a little bit.But let’s remember that this is the 13th episode and there’s much more to come.Kalinda likes Alicia more than she likes Will, sure, but she definitely likes Will more than she likes Dana or Wendy (re: Cary, who made a brief appearance this week, I’m not too sure where she’d fall).So she may have a trick or two left up her sleeve.The main plot, revolving around the mysterious creator of the very real online currency bitcoin, was a bit of a rigmarole with a few too many twists and turns and an ending that was very logical (it turns out pretty much all the suspects were somewhat responsible) but had more dramatic emphasis placed on it than it perhaps deserved.

But, unlike the Facebook episode, it was a fun, inventive, unusual topic to base a network TV episode around and they did it in a pretty compelling legal manner.Plus, we had the return of a great guest star from earlier this year, the squirrely Bob Balaban as U.S.Treasury lawyer Gordon Higgs, and a couple of fun new faces, particularly a (noticeably thinner!)Michael Lerner as a very exasperated, bored judge who obviously wishes every case he prosecuted was an exciting murder trial.Or maybe he just wants to go home and watch more CNBC.His boredom at the proceedings was always amusing, although perhaps a little too reflective of what the audience might be thinking by some of the details of the plot.I say that because the three “inventors” of bitcoin weren’t exactly dynamic figures.You had a rather comely MIT lady played by Jennifer Ferrin (who some of you might remember from The Cape), plus a dorky, lovestruck Chinese econo-physicist (or something) who took a shine to Kalinda, plus the lovely Jason Biggs, who didn’t have a ton to do as a nerdy lawyer who insisted he was just bitcoin’s representative and rolled his eyes at having to give the firm a cashier’s check.

So, I wasn’t exactly at the edge of my seat to figure out who embedded whose code in what ghost and yadda yadda.When Gordon pointed out to Alicia that the firm was perhaps unwise to represent a person who might be trying to frame them for a Federal crime, I couldn’t help but agree.But watching them get out of it and make Gordon look a bit of a fool wasn’t too bad either.I love Balaban’s performance, but there is something irritatingly calm about Gordon’s manner (it was nice to see him get flustered in court a couple times here).For The Good Wife, this was a pretty simple episode – no appearance by Eli, almost nothing from the State’s Attorney side of things.Really just Alicia and Kalinda, with Will worrying away on the sidelines.Plus, a welcome Zack storyline, nothing too major, but it’s always nice to know the kids still exist, and I think Grace usually ends up getting a little more to do than him.Alicia, in a well-meaning way, points out that he’s hanging out with his girlfriend Nisa (remember her?)
