Why do we need universal access to basic finance? Do we need to replace all traditional financial markets? Will Bitcoin still work in places where they are trying to or have “banned” it? Why should we be worried about encryption backdoors? What are the key components of money for the people?

These questions are from the CryptoCompare Digital Asset Summit and the Scottish Blockchain meetup, which took place on June 12th and June 19th 2019 respectively.

  1. Andreas, genuine question not based on any critical view at all I have great respect for you. But why when you say bully for you you don't need crypto is it always to a forum and conference full of those people who don't need it. Even in Argentina or Venezuela the people that can afford a conference are not the people that need Bitcoin the most. I know you have to make a living too, but what would excite me is an open air talk to 3000 regular people in Mumbai, Zimbabwe or Lima. It's not true to say they all already see bitcoins value and even if they do, you can still help them get more adoption with your wise words. Speak to those that need it, but don't know they do. Just a thought.

  2. Andreas is sounding more and more like a fanatic. I agree with the privacy concerns but why should a bank give an ILLEGAL immigrant a bank account? If you believe in the nation state then we need our borders to be policed properly otherwise we'll end up with anarchy. The only way we'll have an open borderless world is precisely with the totalitarian world government he is against. Look at the Soviet Union or the PRC (&EU) and how they 'manage' disperate regions under their influence! Nation States are good, borders are good, privacy and security is good! Stop conflating separate issues Andreas!

  3. I think it was Theresa May that I first heard suggesting removing encryption, by having a back door. Couldn't believe how stupid she was, and then she became Prime Minister. Several other MPs have repeated that. They should talk to people that understand the repercussions.

  4. There are many layers to privacy … we don't want criminals to use privacy to hide behind while committing their crimes … but we do need important details to be kept private and prevent others from stealing your identity. Getting the balance right is important.

  5. I love what you are doing in this space, making people aware of new financial system; with the humor and vocal qualities coming straight from the heart of yours !! Listen to your heart, listen to within; the way to know the universe …. ANCIENT VEDIC SAYING 😉
