Andreas Antonopoulos - Currency Wars and Bitcoin's Neutrality 

Just listened to this today. When Andreas referred to Bitcoin Market cap in the video, it was 12 Billion USD. As of today, the market cap is 570 Billion USD. Will revisit this video and this comment in 2-3 years and see what it is. Cheers to our beloved Satoshi!

Yet another great talk by Andreas. This guy is a genius.

Questions from the audience needs to be annotated in this video.

wish I listened to this in 2016! brilliant guy

Don't blame the exit for the fire. sweet.

This time, We are writing the history.

Awesome video. Thanks for sharing. A.A. is my all time hero in bitcoin. He never stalls searching what to say next with a lot of Um's and stuttering. He has a real grasp of he says and he delivers every time.

Best bitcoin evangelist ever

This was fantastic

Thank you..anto..

it almost feels like this guy is satoshi xD

Damn, I'm realized that I have missing a lot of information, we need more content about this topic

Legend

such a nice speech. so true.

Man, I love this guy.

Great.

lines at the atm in India are still hours long... i too want to exit :)

just timeless

If *this* is his "More subdued" talk, holy hell I'd like to see what his other talk would be like! WOW!

BIG BANG TALK :>) Walking "all u Need 2 Know source! A true (un)polished multifaceted passionate Crypto diamond! Modern Robin Hood of Economy. Well educated, interested, experienced Metaphorical connecting our financial past and future from with passion! From Technical, Biological, Medical, Economical, Anthropological and IT perspective. Very enriching for navigating (financial) life! Greeting from Amsterdam

I wonder if this guy has taken precautions against his life. He seems like one of those people that gets killed when shit gets real.

Does this guy have direct access to God ha ha wow what an inspiring speech. This guy is the true definition of a visionary.

Good video with similar insight as my own.

andreas is so inspiring

This guy is nuts.

i've always wondered about 1 question that has not been asked: What prevents the market makers in buying huge amounts of BTC and controlling this currency as well?

#genius

In my opinion andreas is no1 in the field of tech.

Just checking, what’s the source for a 60% gold tax in India?

all currency's are created to enrich the creator .............Bitcoin is no different

it gets really dark at around 20:00. Waiting for some positive news. I'm guessing that's where Bitcoin comes in.

Its funny how Andreas wouldn't curse on JRE and now he's swearing left and right to huge applause.

Antonopoulos has to do a better job repeating the questions. When someone rattles on for 3 minutes and Antonopoulos just answers "yes" or "uh huh", that's bad form. Otherwise, brilliant content.

13:50 Ahh jeeeze

I'm starting to think we may be seeing the results of large pressures developing between the two types of fiat money in the globe. The developed world creates its fiat money by clicking computer keys to add "money" into their economy. They can inject "liquidity" or "stimulus" at electron speed. The developing world where more of the population is "unbanked" they use mostly paper fiat. The problem is it takes much more time to inject a paper fiat money into an economy and effect inflation than it does in a digital fiat system. When and where the two systems meet might be likened to when a cold front enters a warm air mass. It causes winds, storms and maybe even tornados. Digital fiat and paper fiat are not compatable and is now a global problem.

Lol, that last question

Last question: Yes we are the religion of Satoshi... /s

We didn't start the (flame)war!

that nifty one at the end tried to sneak in the illuminati hahaha

Let me comment please before the question and answer period, sorry some will undoubtedly come upon some of these things that I am going to comment on and my comments will be redundant in part. 1. This is a person and a speech and a gathering of and Era. We are entering into a 'world' of intelligent systems that once put in place will not be defeated. All will be automated and each action programmed based upon the systems many input points - that will be every point in every place and at every time increment. The technologies exist that this could be in place today, but for the slowness of intelligence amongst humans as a group. I believe we are brought together by a higher power and we are together for a reason. As coder writers and other tech working people and watchers of this meeting by people like I am - we are the important part of this important - biblical - time. 2. Andreas Antonopoulos and you his colleagues and friends are so important to us that I want to put into context what he has just said and why this is so large and you so important. a. Since time Kung Fu Tze and his predecessors of approximately 2000 years have insisted upon virtue. Socrates continued. Machiavelli re-sounding him. Adam Smith re-searching particularly important to us; wealth of a nation and repeating the original message being a moral philosopher rather than an economist- virtue. Each having the same message - virtue! Each; one, by one, by one, by one in his own time was not listened to. And each today completely un-read and soon to pass to oblivion. To be taken by an intelligent system that will unequivocally provide the ravages of the failure to listen; the failure to try to understand. b. Andreas says: The eradication of the currencies that provide private transactions by making all transactions digital (input for the intelligent systems) and on that platform will provide: i. Surveillance, ii. Control, iii. Confiscation, and iv. "negative interest rates" Theft of value from all (in addition to the theft of the value from some by Confiscation). All wealth and all actions soon to be in total or Totalitarian form, governed by the few despots who oversee the system until it oversees itself - Total . . . c. Andreas refers to Nationalism (and an aggressive pursuit of it - fascism). We have again a scholar Victor Klemperer, a German scholar who allowed us to see: Nationalism in Germany was Communism. (It was a lost people searching for a political - moral philosophy when their culture was destroyed by itself through its own corrupting.) Victor Klemperer in his work "I Will Bear Witness", like the early great philosophers for virtue will not be listened to. Andreas uses the word: Precipice. Please listen to him. Regard the great minds from the past and listen to them in this. As you proceed please bring the great, true, repeating knowledge to the fore of your good minds, please. And do great with this knowledge as your guide; for your legacy. Because your success, as simple or mean as that seems is important beyond important in its 'today' connotation. It is important for all time. It is about time we listened and guided our actions by what we have been given as a gift - great gift. Godspeed. And thank you so much Andreas Antonopoulos.

No Wonder why your on the elite listing for this narrative

What's the German word? @ 43:57

Also, the bitcoin is digital so what happens if there is cyber moneyary heist. There are always smartvtech people in the world to do digital robberies which has been done without a trace.

can anyone tldr this plz. aren't there bots on here that do that like on reddit? savages...

Can't believe i finally found a disagreement with Andreas... Nationalism is on the rise, but in Europe it is a very different case of nationalism. When a country is being destabilized by globalist imposition, you get nationalism as a mechanism of cultural preservation. The main problem Europe is facing is Islam. No sugar coating it. If you import a replacement population that shares no values with the native population and sees it's women as chatle, then yeah... you will get populism. I was a highly idealized liberal before EU brought in millions of Muslims in our countries. Now i am forced to vote for nationalism, as it's the only thing we can do to prevent civil war down the line. Don't sugar coat Islam... it is a grave mistake. Multiculturalism is fine, but Islam is incompatible with the west in it's current manifestation. As far as Chiene and Japanese or Turkish nationalism goes... yeah, that is pretty shit. But Europeans are rightly becoming more populist. Hungary is an admirable country right now. Orban will go down in history as the defender of Europe. And we don't even like the guy. That's how bad the situation is in Europe.

if you're worried about being labeled a criminal, might help to google imbatman57. gist is minimizing claims you make, while asking honorable questions that help see there's no controversy

While bitcoin is a better money, it will never solve the problems created by money. Please investigate a resource based economy.
