  1. What we need is professionals in the field of security/privacy to create a step by step process to make proven reliable technological changes in our lives and with our devices that will give us the best possible security/privacy as complete system from the ground up, including personal computer operating system, antivirus combination, ad blocker, email, which phones to use, which vpn and or tor, password manager, ways to buy store sell the most recommended cryptos etc, essentially simple standardized list of steps to take in order of practical priority that can be followed by someone new to technology from A-Z, I end up suffering ‘paralysis of analysis’ because I don’t know which options are the best, or most compatible with one another or even where to start

  2. Mr. Antonopoulos. As a citizen of the United States and a citizen of this world. The people need a strong backing! Its seems to me your are the go to man when it comes down to bitcoin and other applications that blockchain offers. We the people need someone like you to stand in and help educate our congressman and other world leaders that play a key roll in todays World economy. I think if some way you could get into a U.N Summit to speek about the worlds future economy. To Express how important this is and how different applications could help improve a individuals security and finances. I feel like the better investment is in the people. If governments dont give this a chance then things, like you know will get very ugly. When I watch your speeches I recognize that you have a unique way that leaves a good taste in people's mouths. Thank god for you & Thank you for doing what you do!

  3. Bitcoin has nose dived, companies are abandoning it leaving it a ghost town and governments are outlawing it or putting strict restrictions on it. I saw this coming months ago. But your typical diehard Bitcoin evangelist will remain faithful (more like stupid) until the bitter end.

  4. Hi, kindly do a video on harshgraph and how people can start making systems like it which are full Byzantine fault tolerant. And can this technology eventually rival bitcoin if it's made completely open source?

  5. AA… this may hit a spot here or there .. and Better late than never … I'm not in it for the money just for the game . I am in it to descover the systems used . Never a dull moment in the learning Phase .. a pitty that most don't understand a free concept and just have $ signs in their eyes !

  6. could you please explain this thing about lightning network, there seems to be a lot of criticism about how lightning network could be taken over and controlled by central authority or governments thus destroying the Essence of Bitcoin, I do not have any computers background could you explain in layman terms.
    Thank you for all your work and videos
