How will the culture change as Bitcoin becomes more widely adopted? What will we see in terms of older people vs. children interacting with this technology? What are the most effective ways to promote, inform, and inspire adoption? How do we know when Bitcoin is succeeding? What are some things we should watch out for? Why should we stay away from custodians? Should we encourage them to meet others in their local community?

These questions are from part of the Denver talk and the September monthly Patreon session, which took place on August 6th and September 29th 2018. If you want early-access to talks and a chance to participate in the monthly live Q&As with Andreas, become a patron: https://www.patreon.com/aantonop

  1. The best most effective way to promote cryptocurrency adoption is by rendering the payment method chosen by the buyer (credit card, bank account or cryptocurrency) irrelevant to the seller, so buyers can spend their cryptocurrencies in any store. That's exactly what Valsto does.

  2. Don't put all your eggs in 1 basket. Bitcoin will always be around
    because of the coin exchanges and its own blockchain. Given.. I Ran into
    a video in Feb Early this year, I found so many people showering
    Accolades to a man named Alessio Rastani who has made a great Impact to
    so many young crypto investors since last year, some said he has the
    best strategy to trade Bitcoin,I was tired of Gdax and Binance small
    profits i was getting, so I reached out to him and he gave me the best
    tips to excel in the world of Crypto. Now I don’t just Hold, I make more
    Gains, after 3 months I can Boast of increasing my Portfolio from
    $20,000 to $140,000*, all Thanks to Paul’s Almighty Formular for
    Trading, Y'all can reach out to him here.

  3. You cannot protect your friends from pyramid schemes and shitcoins…bc they KNOW they can do it and win.

    You can tell them until you're blue in the face…it will do nothing.

    I've learned you need to let people make their own mistakes with this stuff.

    The same reasons they ignored you since 2012 are the same reasons they will ignore you about BITCONNECCCCCTTTT!

    Humans learn best by losses.

  4. @andreas, from approximately13.23 to 13.43 in the video you really hot the nail on the head. This (shifting from a money=hype culture to a use case=hype culture) is something I'm working on through a new initiative which I would love your feedback on! Let me know

  5. Andreas, I am curious about a good non custodial phone based wallet. Or at least how to research to find a good one. Is it a good idea to try to get a multi currency wallet rather than just bitcoin? Also my understanding phone wallets are the least secure, is this true?

  6. Thank you for your amazing and awesome Talks. 🙂 I'd like to know if Multi algorithm altcoins POW are more secure ? more decentralized ? Those altcoins with short time blocks have a lot of orphan blocks. How this affect the network ? Does it matter so much ? is this really an issue ? Thanks

  7. is something like exodus a wallet that gives you control over your keys? I deinstalled in in december due to the high transaction fees. What is a good wallet in general and how can I make a backup?
