What are the opportunities for Norwegian's Data Centres with their almost 100% use of renewable energy?
Warning Cryptocurrency exhanges are scam that are ill equipped to deal with the general public .. I am writing the authorities after my experience the last 2 weeks of scam crypto exchange after scam crypto exchange that does not respond with zero customer support.. Crypto looks to be a money laundering SCAM for banks .. THEY shut out the general public.. I couldn't buy a crypto right now if my life depended on it this 2 weeks of this crap.. I have it all documented as well.. Cryptos are going down
Etherium market cap, $31,516,282,598, lol.
"The good about Ethereum right now is that it's not at the 20 billions dollars scale"
Well, that escalated quickly…
Loads of value in this talk, thank you
Great guy!

Andreas anonopoulos is a complete badass. So impressed.
I like it…who knows, Bitcoin/Ethereum could be the Netscape of Cryptocoins…or not
Only time "govt" and "benevolent" should be used in the same sentence is governments are NOT benevolent. Govt is a collection of individuals who fall prey to the same old adage of "power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely."
Knowing that, decentralized systems not dependent on humans being benevolent to function is the most ideal system a society can work with.
thumbs up
Hi invite to the Bitcoin community https://plus.google.com/u/0/communities/116725590063715116983
So is there going to be two coins or not!
Pride is a Sin. You are humbled to have Andres there. 😉
Sorry, but Sweden is a scandinavian country – and you couldnt have a better example of an intrusive, centralized government quasi socialist state that has come to control every aspect of personal life – even using tax payers money to make people "want to get rid of cash payments", so that every financial transaction can be traced – and taxed!
I'm sure banks are under the influence of "well-meaning" politicians as well – with the widly know effects of paths paved with good intentions …
Andreas is THE expert.on this subject. A true visionary!
If even Scandinavian countries are taking an interested in Bitcoin, then that's a good sign for the future of cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology more generally.
Be an interviewer, not a parrot!
"Money and state should be separate". Now I am an even bigger fan of you than before.
SECOND !
