Are there “social good” use cases for Bitcoin and open blockchains, like women’s rights or escaping economic chaos? Is there a distinction between legality and morality? How do we progress in adoption outside of first-world economies? Building basic on-ramp infrastructure, and translating educational material.

These questions are from the March monthly subscriber session and the Seoul Bitcoin Meetup, which took place on March 30th and April 5th 2019, respectively.

  1. Andreas, PLEEEEESE go to the Buffet luncheon. Do it for all of us, your devoted followers, beyond all other excuses not to go. SPEAK for us, as we hold you accountable for opportunities like this!

  2. Basic morality is not using force to steal value.. that value could be stealing someone's life (murder), stealing their body (rape, taxes), stealing their property (property tax). Voluntary interaction is moral, defending against theft is moral.."law" is just death threats, that's all law is.. got a problem? The government gang's answer (any government) is to threaten death. There are usually a million and one solutions before you would ever have to threaten death, but that's not what government does.. government passes "laws" which are just death threats.

  3. Amazingly honest talk about immoral laws. I mean many people say the same things, but not many are public figures. Usually well known personalities only imply these things. Very good job.

  4. Why not put ads on these videos so that they get recommended by the youtube algorithms and more people see and hear this knowledge. If it's a problem that you would directly make money of these videos then just donate the money or something. These videos would get roughly 50% more views on average if you just turned the ads on so I don't see why not turn them on

  5. I really appreciate the perspective Andreas shares, I'm originality from Argentina, i've seen the economy not work many times.
    What I don't understand is why Bitcoin hadn't gained way more traction there yet.
