In this talk, Andreas discusses the evolution of technology along a “grand arc”, from grandiosity, to… grandparents. He also looks at how bitcoin expresses money as a content type, changing the nature of payments into a form of generic communication.
This talk was delivered on November 29th 2014 for the BitcoinSouth conference at the Millennium Hotel in Queenstown, New Zealand.
