I saw this 6 years ago and was impressed then; now in 2023, I am more impressed with how much more relevant it is today.

Anyone else sometimes sit and listen to andreas all day at work ?

Seriously, this guy could do a comedy show about economics. His talk is so funny and entertaining while still being very clear and informative.

Had the pleasure of seeing Andreas speak in Seattle in 2018. Honestly, nothing short of a life changing event.

Antonopoulos is quite simply, the best.

Thanks a lot Andreas. I´m from Venezuela and I´am living through the bitcoin since a year ago.. like you said, this shit is real

I regret not seeing this 4 years ago. Thank you, Andreas.

Thank you Andreas.You have an extraordinary skill, of breaking down the complex with clarity

- How does money work, mommy ? - I have not a freaking clue, kid. I think it's something to do with the allocation of special drawing rights through the international monetary funds and world bank in a free floating system of market exchange currencies that compete through trade balances across an international spectrum of inflation-adjusted exchange rates that then could be used to create local debt that is issued by the treasury in return for currency that is printed by the central bank distributed to the banks that leverage it through a system of partial reserve leverage of approximately 10 to 1 and distributed into the economy creating either inflationary of deflationary effects allowing us all to experience the velocity of trade to the exchange of an abstract token that represents the promise of future value depreciated by the rate of inflation and adjusted for the return on investment. - So why can't we have more of it mummy ?

Andreas Antonopolous, you deserve our worship.

Andreas Your talks are really amazing. Explaining complicated concepts in a simple fashion. You're presentation skills are excellent, never once using any flashcards or notes. Giving this continuesly flowing indepth masterpiece of a talk.

Hats off to Andreas for making such complex thing so simple to understand !

Apart from his vast knowledge, Andreas is gifted in how he delivers his talk.

This is probably the best talk you've given, and the best talk delivered on this subject by anyone, ever.

A couple of tears ran again. Andreas has the power hidden in the BTC algorithms. Thanks forever!

About 12 minutes in, discussing the internet as a free flow of information without censorship….my how things have changed. Excellent content thank you.

Thank you Andreas. I always look forward to sharing your videos with friends and family.

I come back to watch this video every few weeks. It is so good and any time I feel like I'm losing myself to market hysteria or getting discouraged by decisions our lawmakers are making this cheers me up. Thank you Andreas!

This is the third time I've watched this video. Each time it inspires me. Brilliant! Thank you Godfather of Bitcoin: Andreas.

Watching for the first time in Dec 23. Though I have seen lots of his video’s. This is the one I will use to show others that are interested. The best.

Andreas is the Carl Sagan of crypto :D

Thank you Andreas. From the bottom of our hearts. The way you walk us through such complex and deep topics and the passion with which you transmit them is unmatched. I would have loved to be there years ago at one of these conferences. Pure (digital) gold Long live Bitcoin and its Revolution.

just finished to translate all this talk into hebrew, the country which i live in (israel) is so behind with about all this Internet of money idea ! I hope KZread will publish my translation soon enough. I hope it will make this idea to be spread over another "ordinary" millions of "hebrew talkers" around the world and espacially in Israel. really great work Andreas ! when it comes to describe what is all about with the "internet of money" concept you are the best !

the invention is flawless, ethical and clear making it easy for a speaker with the same characteristic to explain it with joy , well done andreas. Logically It is happening, it will adjust humanity and provide them growth and continuity like any previous systems , but finally peer to peer where adventure and creativity are not layered and the sweat is not traded.

@@bard1250 and yet, terrorism, trafficking, and organised crime exist all over the world using the dollar, euro, sterling etc. Bitcoin is a neutral technology, the fact that criminals can use it is a good thing because it means it doesn't discriminate. Anybody can use Bitcoin, whether you agree with their use or not. Besides, Bitcoin isn't anonymous, it's pseudonymous, and the entire transaction history is open to view by anyone. If anything it will make it more difficult for the biggest financial criminals to conduct business.

I recommend this video to anyone who is trying to understand where Bitcoin gets its value from.

When ever I watch Andreas's videos I look at how many views there are and how little likes have been given. Then I realized that after every video I was so sucked in I forget to "smash the like button". That stops today. Thank you for all the great knowledge sir

This talk is different! No one has understood the concept better than him

Andreas, You should demand better audio recording. Listen to the difference between your best videos. Maybe you should travel with your own recording sound system. Best! keep it up.

Great video, but one point to note is at 06:42. There are one or two corporate third parties and that is those providing (or denying) access to the internet. Bitcoin doesn’t need the internet to work, but it does need the internet to update and validate transactions. However, they won’t cut people off for the most part because business would lose income, governments would lose tax, and governments would lose some surveillance powers.

I dont know how you do it. But every next video i watch still impresses me.

You are just the best! 👍 Thank you

Thankyou Andreas very insightful I'm a big fan

great talk as always, well done getting excited about bitcoin all over again, every time ;)

But who is in charge, Andreas?, :) This is one of the best clips about bitcoin i have ever seen.

Very good speech. Thanks for sharing

Wow BTC has ETFs now!! Unbelievable -- Andreas is a legend.

Great keynote Andreas, as always.

Hands down, best thing today.

I imagine this is what the first disciples of Christ felt like when they first heard him speak! I don't believe in Bitcoin, I believe in Andreas.

One of the most competent speakers on how blockchain cryptocurrency will affect the planet.

everytime i watch one of his videos i end up buying 0.01 BTC LOOLLL. i should have bought full BTCs when it was at 200 $/BTC a piece ahah(or earlier) , i bought another very cheap crypto back then that anyway gained 1000,s %% in value. The blockchain is the future. well done Andreas, very simply and well explained
