Will mainstream adoption affect the culture of crypto? Are enterprise “blockchain” projects signs of gentrification? Banks will train the developers for us. They can’t ignore Bitcoin forever. Why is there so much development and marketing around private blockchains? Not all blockchains are created equal. Immutability is not a characteristic of all blockchains. Is proof-of-authority or committee-driven dynamics (i.e. standards war) in federated systems interesting?
These questions are from the Polish Bitcoin Congress (Polski Kongres Bitcoin) Warsaw, Poland, and the November Patreon session, which took place on May 12th and November 17th, 2018, respectively.

hey Andeas, please adjust your microphone input level. For some time now your beautiful voice is being distorted … just turn it down a tad …. it will be so much better than!!
The content must not be adjusted =)
– 100% right , private blockchain is nothing but marketing trying to profit from buzzwords
Smashed the like
Great video! What are your thoughts on interchain tech like dragonchain or ark?
Thats too freaking funny. I love it.
Andreas, could you give us a video on your thoughts on XRP in 2019? Is it still a shitcoin? Have their 'decentralization' efforts actually done anything to decentralize?
Thanks very much!
5'18' [flips through a handful of minidiscs] … now, we're supposed to start with these operation programs first; that's major boring sh!t [chucks those aside]; let's do something a little more fun …. how about … combat training!
Did someone say 2030 Nobel price? Shhhhhhh ?
Bester Mann!
What are your thoughts on Radix? Just made a splash in the media.
Radix claim: "This passive consensus mechanism is both very reliable and incredibly power efficient as no extra energy is expended apart from to resolve conflicts."
Thanks.
Just like when they call freedom, it is not really freedom. Same crap LOL.
thx
The last sentence about the intranet of money is genius
Andreas is the best
Those last several minutes it sounded like he was describing Ripple and all their payment protocols, to include XRP.
The Ripple people should see this. I Can't believe they can't see the difference between xrp and bitcoin! Oh well… "but it's just 37 cents!"
My favorite channel
Share to help ur media, Thanks AA
We have this problem in Malta. Hype Hype Hype about blockchain and little talk about Bitcoin. But as Andreas said, eventually they will discover bitcoin 🙂
upload more of your full talks pls Andreas. They are always interesting and full of fantastic insights.
Hey Andreas, thank you so much for sharing all this. I really appreciated your cartels talk as well. Your videos are part of what's inspired me to start chronicling my own journey with Bitcoin and other crypto-currencies as I'm working towards financial independence!
ok the guy that had the question of 5% of world pop using btc
reality check btc does 288k transactions a day or so at current stats
if allowing them to touch the base layer once a year
how many would be able to touch the base layer
1.5% of world pop
ok segwit adoption i hear you!
so allowing 5200 txn a block same again 1 txn each how many can touch the base layer in a year
3.9%
and that's assuming every block can pack that whopping txn count
do remember dust consolidation has to happen link to btc biggest block ever with a txn count of what 230 not k just two hundred and thirty
messing with that avg
https://www.blockchain.com/btc/block/00000000000000000021868c2cefc52a480d173c849412fe81c4e5ab806f94ab
better hope schnorr will help a lot cause 5% seems unattainable on small block
better question how much to lock up if you can only touch that base layer once a year
there are other bitcoin forks that do focus on bigger blocks luckily
cause real world quantities and btc not compatible
