  1. I want to change humanity, I want to change technologies and adopt them in real life, but I cannot do it without cash, I cant do it living on a street. So price and making money is important.. i'm fascinated with Bitcoin, I want live only using Bitcoin, but I dont know how. i cant find a job, I have no cash, I'll be homless by the end of the year. Right now I have only 0.005 BTC and I have no idea how to live for this… what I can do? How to change my miserable life with BTC? I wanna be like NEO and take the red pill, but still have no idea how… Morpheus, I need You!

  2. how we can use this technology to disrupt leadership
    itself. what is meant by being a leader?
    how far we have gone from the real properties that a leader must have to the political leaders we have today..

  3. I am moved to tears at the power of humanity. This is a tool that will give back freedom and power to the people. A true freedom, resistant to the tampering and tyranny of the few, because we are the many. I am moved to tears because of what this means. I want that humanity. I don't want the tyrrany that rules over us now.

  4. inspirador y muy ilustrativo, hagamos que la comunidad de bitcoin sea aún mayor y llegue a esas personas y familias que nunca tuvieron accesos a los servicios financieros, no mas trabas, no mas controles, no mas injusticias, esto es una plataforma para la confianza global sin fronteras igualitaria, wow esto es tremendamente maravilloso y hagamos un mundo mas justo. bendiciones en tu vida Andreas Antonoupolis.

  5. Merci Aurélien de ce gros travail perso. Je ne peux m'empêcher de songer aux parole de Vitalik, disant : "Essayez de tirer la quintessence de mes/nos/vos idées, avant de vouloir en tirer quelques sous ou qq bénéfices…"

  6. Damn that was powerful. I've done the same since i learned, disappeared somewhat. Good to know im not alone on that front. The most amazing world changing technology is now among us, what will i do about? I will try and speak it the as many people as i can. Even if they think im mad. Respect andreas ?

  7. I wish i could explain Bitcoin in a manner like you do to my family, friends and neighbors. I wish i can learn how to do it right in a very simple systematic way Andreas. GOD bless you always.

  8. I am so grateful to you Andreas Antonopoulos for giving us this amazing learning about technology. What Bitcoin and how it works into human lives and in the future of monetary system and economy.
