  1. You don’t have to register, be identified, or authorized? How? How is he transacting Bitcoin without coinbase or any other exchange that has these requirements……??

  2. No time is better than now to buy bitcoins. Reason is that we are at the verge of a strong bull run. Another approach i have taken that has been so profitable for me is not just buying but also strategically growing my portfolio by trading using the well known signal service of Mateo Alejandro. I tried it first though freely on a demo account and it worked so well i invested and traded my first 1btc which 3x in just 2 weeks so i keep growing my coins steadily with just my initial capital. Its a very interesting and easy to use approach and i am sure this will not be news here cos most people that would come across this post would probably already have used and benefited from his training or trading services. His contacts are *mateoalejandro177@ gmailcom for those who don't know him and would love to try a different but very successful approach towards realizing dreams in the cryptocurrency business.

  3. The federal reseve note is a fraud and the method of debt enslavement of much of humanity. Thus bicoin value epressed in dollars will soon be irrelevant. Fake money will die and, since even a gold backed currency is inferior to bitcoin and similar cryptos, they will dominate until something better is invented and globally adopted. The banksters days are numbered. Thist is the best news perhaps of all time.

  4. I'm very pleased to discover this video: Andreas had been in Malaysia before! Unfortunately at that time 15 months ago, I didn't know who he was. And I had yet to be involved in Bitcoin or cryptocurrencies. That would come three months later when I discovered how to buy my first (fraction of) BTC with Ringgit from Luno, transferring it to the Jaxx wallet and changing to other cryptos via ShapeShift. Then I discovered Bittrex. Was fascinated by how I could register with a US company and trade using BTC. That convinced me cryptos will be a significant alternative to fiat for various things in the coming years.

  5. Why is it that u can buy bit coins with currency, but can't but currency with Bit Coins. This is just a con traders game and will fail. Any way credit cards are already used as cryptoexchange. Bunch of exchange crap.

  6. The trouble with most Bitcoin lectures is that they are either passionately for or against. Neither side can satisfy my need for objective information showing the pros and cons. Also I find the concept of robots (non-humans) trading in Bitcoin rather creepy, they already have caused uncontrolled sell-offs and other glitches that have hurt people. Why is this a good idea?

  7. Hey, mis disculpas, pero creo que te di el link equivocado…, por eso es mejor si lo buscas por su nombre: Dario Esdruani. Trata con Google, que se yo… Y para responder, si, pude ver un retorno de 5X en mi inversión, no solo Bitcoin, también ENG, VIA y otras alts, pero siempre cambian, lo básico que necesitas es gratis, un abrazo!

  8. Descentralized means ( orbiting around the earth with no connection ) great for bitcoin, but a crypto world that is totally imposible to regulate, because it lives in space, it is doomed to stay there, in a non country space.
    The crypto world today is nothing more than an outer space las vegas, that has quit its connections to earth .Because there is no way to rule in space, then is no way of being legit. No matter how hard governments try to regulate it. They can regulate the airports that take you in and out of that space but nothing more.
    Crypto world would be left there by governments , and it would orbit into the oblivion. Forever
    Descentralize= no country= no rules= no contracts= no warranty.
    Good for bitcoin ? Yes, as a store if value alternative to the ones in earth .but converting to dollars will always be require to be inside the law.
    Your friend accepted bitcoins ? Nice. your company accepted bitcoins? Why the need?, if bitcoin is measured in dollars , the companies need regulated money.= dollars.

  9. This guy explains how futurisc bitcoin is
    But when you can print crypto dollars (stable coins with no backing in dollars) to buy bitcoins, bitcoin technology would still be amazing, but the price will be tottally corrupted.
    Stop believing in a magical world and do a research of how the price of bitcoin is being manipulated by this scams
    “Tether”
    “Dai”
    “ Basecoin”
    “Descentralize capital”
    “Jibrel Network”
    “Stabl”
    “Staticon”
    “Havven”

  10. a key question going in my mind when i saw the video is, if it is going to replace money then why do we have to pay money to purchase bitcoin. why the other person or anybody needs that money for.. i should be earning this bitcoin for my services or products to earn bitcoins to start with and then transact to buy other things… very tricky

  11. Maybe this will sound like nonsense, but here are my thoughts about thi: The implicit philosophy of the government is that it is not legal to own anything without the government knowing about it. When you stop to think, not about the explicit law, but about the implicit philosophy directing the various things they make the citizens go through, this is what is at the core.
    That the citizen is here to be regulated by the government and that it is reasonable and normal for the relationship to be like that.

    And so, it is only a matter of time before they catch on to HOW exactly they will try to regulate the use of Bitcoin (and/ or the internet), because they have the power, and to combat that power you need philosophical and moral clarity; technology won't be enough…

  12. I dont understand why i have to pay for a withdrawal and a deposit fee at the same time, i was shafted twice in one transaction moving bitcoin to omesiGo from coinjar to blockchain and lost over $150 in that experience over a $500 withdrawal. It is WAY worse than a bank man!. To hell with that, i was never charged that amount in the banks. Ripped off the page bro.
    obviously not at all happy. what a fucking scam.
    Looks like sticking to the devil you know is the better option, i would have been charged $2 for that transaction to move my money. and $0 to deposit that money into another account. Stupid humans fall for anything.
    Maybe i can sell stupid in a bottle!. plety around , thats for sure.

  14. one of the best youtube vloggers in cryptocurrencies imo. I must admit i struggle to explain bitcoin to anyone who asks me without seeing them roll their eyes.This has helped me to explain it better. Bitcoin is the first and for me the best coin but i am worried about the fees now. Also with government agencies and the tax people showing an increased interest in things i think privacy coins could really start to take a bite out of btc's crown. coins like shield or Deeponion are showing a big growth now and i would love to see what Andreas thinks of these new coins on the block?

  15. Very happy that you're doing what you're doing. Spreading the word about Crypto in an intelligent manner that everyone can understand. I've been in Crypto for over 2yrs now and the easiest way I've found to explain to people what it is and what it's going to do for our planet, is to share your videos. Great job Andreas. The community applauds your hard work.

  16. Thanks for the great video mister. I use this video a lot to show to friends and relatives that are new to and have questions about bitcoin. I saw people's opinion completely change based on your story. I would love to hear your opinion on the following: As bitcoin is not so private as people think and with governments keep creating rules and legislation to gain controll in the crypto world. In my opinion we will see a big shift to privacy coins in 2018 and beyond. Because of this, I sold part of my bitcoin holdings and invested in some relatively newer privacy coins such as DeepOnion and Shield. What's your opinion on the future of privacy coins and do you think I made a wise investment choice ?
