How should we prepare for the next monetary crisis, particularly in Argentina? Will those governments target people? Does respect for the law matter? Could a government or bank buy up all the bitcoin?

These questions are from the February monthly patron session and the Athens’ Bitcoin and Blockchain Tech meetup, which took place on February 23rd and July 12th 2019, respectively.

  1. i was just reading about asteroid mining recently. where there's trillions worth of gold & other precious metals. Gold won't be a limited resource in future. which leaves only 1 option cryptocurrency and bitcoin will stay the king of it.

  2. Thank you Andreas for the video. Did you ever thought that Bitcoin as a creation was given to this civilization as antagonist of fiat currency. The question is – if such genius mind could create this miracle Bitcoin, can that genius mind manipulate/amend it at some stage in the future?

  3. Andreas raises a very interesting point regarding the price of gold. If the price goes too high then people rip open mountains everywhere trying to get more of it… In much the same way, if Bitcoin’s price rises too high too quickly, then an unbelievable amount of electricity will be produced (dirty and clean) to chase down and mine those remaining bitcoin. Solar, wind, coal, oil, and the big one nuclear power plants could proliferate around the world at a rapid pace. The difficulty adjustment would deter some but won’t stop the growth of miners.
    There is a certain ecological responsibility that we have to keep the price of bitcoin down and to keep potential miners disinterested.

  4. @andreas I know You don't want to increase the number of BTC in circulation above 21m, I certainly don't, what are your thoughts on adding more decimal places however as it gets scarcer? 8 will not be enough.

  5. @Andreas, I wish you could transcribe the audience questions and make them appear as subtitles, because all the questions were mostly inaudible. Keep up the awesome work. TY.
