  1. i was realy skeptial and ignorant of blockchain and thought bitcoin was a bubble bound to collapse. now i finally get what it is and this shits indeed the future.

  2. Quick question! Someone please help me out. The amount of Bitcoin is finite… meaning one day all the coins will be accounted for. How do you maintain security if there's no more reward to give to those who Secure the ledger?

  3. The thing is, it isn't borderless, because it only exists on the internet, and the internet is based on IP addresses which are country specific. Also, you have to go through exchanges which require ID checks and KYC etc.

    As China has just so clearly demonstrated, governments can fuck with BTC in a big way of they feel like it.

  4. Andreas, do you foresee how miners may be rewarded to uphold the security of the BTC blockchain at the end of the total distribution of BTC in 2140? I'll be dead but still curious.

  5. The person operating the camera should zoom out a little bit next time. It will be easier to watch without the constant panning of the camera to keep up with your prowling of the stage.

  6. AA, ok don't people to poor loads into bitcoin, but would you agree, for what the technology is, we should be telling folks it would be the dumbest missed opportunity to skip picking up £10/$10 of BTC and save it for their children / grand children… sure it's an investment. It's a micro investment in the potential future of of the world economy… as investments go, there's nothing nearly like it!
