When are we going to see mass adoption of open blockchains, especially by “big sellers” and merchant services like Amazon? A system of closed, centralised, weaponised poltical control vs. open source, localised / peer-to-peer commerce. Will the user experience improve?
This question is from a talk which took place on May 18th 2018 for the WeAreDevelopers World Congress at Austria Center Vienna in Vienna, Austria: https://www.wearedevelopers.com/speakers/

I agree with Philipp. Andreas has such a profound grasp of the information, and a masterful way of communicating his understanding, it's intoxicating (and I'm not gay. Not there's anything wrong with that. 555). This guy is FANTASIC!
Andreas is the man!
amazon like, open, neutral blockchain is particl
Security & fungibility its PART
Excellent talk Andreas, mass adoption is coming. All it will take is one decentralized app to open the flood gates. Developers all over the world are hustling to find out what consumers want
Great vid! Thanks I believe you're pointing out Particl's Marketplace?
Andreas confirms again. There is only one thing that stops the illusion of control… it's the real control exercised by people… Oh and also a little sprinkling of Pandora's magic internet permission less truth.
Is possible to do peer-to-peer with Bluetooth?
Satoshi Nakamoto built BTC as a test subject a precursor if you may for 10,000 projects on Blockchain in the future
Maybe I shouldn't say this again but Particl will blow up. Marketplace will be huge and decentralized.
Hi Andreas,
are you aware of Roger Ver's plans of "releasing" your own book, with parts thrown out and bcash propaganda added in?

Lol banks dont make it easier to understand money. Its exactly the other way around. They obfuscate and fake the money and offer less functionality to the brainwashed user. THE MODERATOR IS BIASED
cheers Andreas
Corporation will struggle to build blockchains because no one will use it they need to adopt the already successful blockchains tried used and trusted by millions like bitcoin even ethereum and ripple the big three and more but bitcoin is the king crypto
Always the best from Andreas!
Can't wait for the mainnet!!!
How can companies that transact up to hundreds of millions of $ rely on something like bitcoin right now, where your money can literally evaporate due to human error. Lose private keys=fucked. Blockchain is not people friendly at all. It was designed by and for paranoiacs, who live in the dark, underground, self-sufficient, anomymous most likely single and with no friends. In a normal world, maybe machines will use it somehow one day .
As for p2p transactions, does anyone singing praise in these here comments actually use the blockchain? i made a btc purchase a couple of days ago, i checked the mempool first, there were 600 transactions in queue (most at 1-2sat/byte), i paid 4 sat/byte certain that i'd get in the next block. It took 50 more minutes for the network to find the next block i fell asleep, that block only had the highest fee transactions so i made it in the next one after that. I was dealing with a merchant who required 6 confirmations. Enough said. Bitcoin right now is useless and pointless.
Bitcoin Jesus!
so you sold a car for bitcoin and waited for 3 confirmations before handing over the key. 30 minutes spending with a unkown person, I hope it was a nice lady then ?
Andreas, thanks for your contribution to the block chain space I am a rather new to crypto and I am from Sri Lanka which is beginning to see hyperinflation of native currency (50% devaluation within four years compared to USD, which is also devaluing) so planning to put some money into Bitcoin through dollar cost averaging. I have this question bothering for some time. What will happen if miners switch off their rigs because in the case mining is not profitable and what will happen if Chinese government decide to ban mining therefore knocking off 80% of hashing power. Hope you will clear my doubts
Love your work Andreas!
Great video!!
At the end i wouldnt be surprized thats you R
THE – SATOSHI NAKAMOTO ( or his son)
This man is genius! Thank you for everything Andreas!
can we please get this whole seminar?..
You can do peer-to-peer marketplace buying and selling with crypto on OpenBazaar. 😉 yw
My man.
3:13
love it!
in the future i might miss people chilling their shitcoins all over the comments xd
When are you coming to Toronto
A.A. Don't do any more late night meetings in a parking lot please.
What a great speaker ! I really hope he will see that particl is trying to create his decentralized e-commerce vision. The same marketplace that satoshi wanted in the first place
Particl with it's privacy features is superior to BTC. Whether you realize it or not, privacy is a key feature needed in cryptos for security and fungibility.
Everytime my faith flounders, this man refills the tank! ??
Thank you Adreas
The marketplace he describes is literally Particl. Maybe a few other projects. But that's what comes to mind first.
Jesus.. Andreas has an intelligent answer for every question. Not only that, his responses are elegant and have the cadence of a great speech maker.
Any chance to find the full conference on the web ? I'm currently studying blockchain trough your book ("Mastering Bitcoin"), cryptoeconomics.study (WIP, but exciting project) and JS tutorials. Another day slowly learning, and this one is conclude by such a great talk from yourself.
You, and a lot of other folks, are changing people lifes, changing the world. We were expecting that since a while, their's no word to explain how greatful the community is
