A review on some “deep history” of Bitcoin… that is, one year ago. What was SegWit2x? Why should block sizes be limited? What is the “real Bitcoin”? What are the interdependent consensus constituents, and how do consensus changes succeed or fail?

These questions are from the MOOC 8.2 session and the (late) August monthly Patreon session, which took place on September 15th 2017 and September 1st 2018 respectively.

  1. great video as always andreas! i find it fascinating how thousands of people around the world speaking different languages can come to a resolution on something as important as the future of an entire currency!

  2. Stick with XRP and BTC as much as you can guys. If everyone sells when it starts to fall, which at one point it will, the dream may be lost because of it being too volatile for companies to get behind. just remember where it's going and don't be put off by short term fluctuations and don't facilitate this dream into becoming a nightmare. The coinbase thing will undoubtedly be replaced by another incident but it will always correct to higher until it's mooned naturally. Don't give up on it and start day trading it, it will take too much time and concentration. Remember XRP is probably bitcoin part 2. It is quite unfortunate that the most popular word lately amongst crypto enthusiasts and traders alike is “hodl.” This concept of “holding on for dear life” in itself may not be a bad idea but why hold on to an investment instrument which could make you some money, or make you very miserable tomorrow? Making a good profit off crypto is easy if and only if you can find the right entry point and exit point in your day trading. Someone I discovered that has tremendously helped me with this is Mr. Steve Bradley. He has a system which is so effective it amazes me. I have been using his signals and strategies and have turned out a very impressive profit over the last two months. I would suggest him for beginners and even more experienced traders who have a problem turning in a consistent profit. His contacts are ( stevebradlee @ gmail com com )

  3. I can not believe that doge just keeps falling, I have to believe a rally is coming for it. I keep trying to catch the falling knife but it keeps falling lol. Anyone have some inside perspectives on dogecoin?

  4. Just ganna say idk what kind of internet you have but my cost of bandwidth is $0 i can use as much as i want per month no charge not sure what kind of internet provider you have that would limit you. Honestly people argue things like this for keeping the blocks small are mostly from the USA where you probs have limits on your downloads, bandwith etc USA isn't the only country in crypto.
