| In this digital age, be careful what you show. Bloomberg News TV anchor Matt Miller gave bitcoin certificates to co-anchors Trish Regan and Adam Johnson during a segment. He showed images of both the public key and the private key QR codes used to redeem the certificates on the air. A Reddit user by the name of “milkywaymasta” claims to have taken the certificates worth $20 and suggests Bloomberg run a segment on the importance of not showing the private keys on the air. | |||||||
