Is the antagonism between Bitcoin and Ethereum harmful? This is a natural process of mutation, fragmentation, bifurcation, and consolidation in a dynamic open-source environment. Keep in mind that the bankers and regulators think we are all blockchain weirdos; their protectionist instincts don’t care about our ideological factions in Bitcoin, Ethereum, or any of the altcoins.

These questions are from the ‘Internet of Money’ tour events in Seattle, Washington, and Paseo La Plaza in Buenos Aires, Argentina, which took place on November 10th 2018 and January 29th 2019 respectively.

  2. The whole reason I love crypto is because I have the humility to admit I don't know what the best way to organize a global financial system is. I support all crypto, even the projects I think are trash because competition will ensure the best will rise to the top.

  6. Hi Andreas, can you please touch on the need for the crypto community and the usefulness of having on-chain analysis and forensic services like Chainalysis, Ciphertrace, blockseer etc. Also, what would be the limits on these type of services? Is there a race between them and others trying to avoid being traced? If yes, who's winning? Thank you and sorry if you already touched on this before.

  15. We are all brothers and sisters. Act like it… though we may fight sometimes, our shared goal is to SURVIVE.

    I fall into the trap of tribalism. I’m guessing everyone does too. Some days I get it and it’s severe.. Some days I don’t.

    But this video has opened my eyes even more. Thank you, Andreas.

  16. – if there is a messiah in cryptoverse it is you , our wise , kind and virtuous lord and saviour Andreas , fuck there are definitely more ridiculous religions out there , i am making you a deity and starting a new religion , that's it

  18. Hello Andreas, thanks for yout great job !
    Is it posible that my hardware wallet , generates a random 24 words , that this words are actually used by other user, in other terms : found a wallet with some funds.
    i am worried that anyone by brute force can have a lucky day and steal my funds like this.
    thank you

  23. Shitcoins and bubbles may be natural, but suggesting that it is OK to be invested in them puts you Andreas in a rather bad light when they go to zero – as the 2013 shitcoins have. The only problem I have with all the endless number of shitcoins out there is that their value is non-zero, and they attract naive people looking for "the next bitcoin" that'll get them rich. Bubbles. Why can't you just take a stand and admit it that every altcoin has NOTHING on Bitcoin and all they are doing is taking away its share of marketcap through and ONLY through pure speculation. Nobody uses Tron, or Ethereum, for ANYTHING. Don't buy the next shitcoin. There won't be cumbaya in the markets.
