  1. Governments actually want everyone to use digital money – but only so that they can have an eye on everything that goes on, and tax it, censor it, freeze it, confiscate it etc. Therefore it's best that the people use their own digital money, not the governments' versions.

  2. If quantum computers become commercial then it should be easy to hack in to any banks database. So using cryptography and storing money and decentralized network is the future hope for a solid economy!

  3. 04:40 cash today is the only way we can pay each others 10:47 question 1, what gives trust to bitcoin, algorithm, rare, scarces 13:40 question 2, lightning 14:54 question 3, freedom, anonymous 16:25 question 3, mining, china, iceland, moore's law 19:23 political risks 19:58 question 4, bank, role, disparition, centralized blockchain, banking is an app 21:59 question 5, terrorist

  4. Can someone help me understand something? So if I'm using bitcoin unlimited for a wallet and I send bitcoin to a bitcoin core wallet, it will work right? if so, at what point will it not as the two change?

    Also I'm trying to learn to create blockchain apps. As a musician and web/sound engineer I want to help the music industry like Imogen heap is doing with ujo music. So feel free to contact and/or donate if you want to help or be involved. Thanks everyone and thanks Andreas for staying honest, please don't change 🙂

  5. No fees… at the current state of bitcoin and i say… ehm… 🙂

    Also what happened to the statement that bitcoin can easily replace credit card issuers… at the current stage- again i say "ehm"… (withotu segwit or some other form of scaling BTC defaultly CANNOT handle more than … ehm… 7 transactions per second… Visa can and at peak does handle… (drum rolls)… 18 000… So BTC… ehm…

    I didnt know this. All people were saying han btc will replace all these things and voila… it cant handle even more than fuck*ng 7 t. per second…

    A little bit dishonest marketing BTC people…?

    (and no, i do like bitcoin and wish it would succed, but these kind of statements are for me almost "snake oil saleish").
