In this talk, Andreas looks at the importance of charity and building infrastructure to facilitate remittances, while it is being stifled not only by the parasitical and immoral financial class but the overbearing and inefficient system of monetary regulations which have only made these problems worse. He also argues that being able to honestly express ourselves and participate in a community through our currency choices matters more to adoption than the sovereign authorities who think they still have a monopoly on value. Currency is an emergent artifact of a social species.

hey anton, Canadian Tire in Canada has their own currency.
Just a new version of the insurance stuff, i think in the 100 thousands at first, then it will evolve
Thank you for your time Andreas.
Andreas got it right we have 1000s of coin right now after 4years next 5 years will be interesting maybe 100,000 or millions… choice freedom is the answer to the world povety not control and monopoly.
I hope ethereum classic blows up, I have 10 so far.
ahahahah omg the first 2 minutes so savage lol
@aantonop Did you choose the thug life or did it choose you?
Doge will survive if for no other reason than kids like it. It has a huge following.
Love watching his older talks like this, please post more of his old stuff:)
So Andreas' vision for the future is a world up to its eyeballs in worthless tokens and shitcoins? Blech. Most probably not, sir. Money is inherently monopolistic and one will definitely win displacing all the others in time. And that one is probably Bitcoin due to first mover advantage and accelerating network effects. Clearly the entire crypto market, including Bitcoin needs to crash much deeper to shake out this kind of nonsense. It's time to read "The Bitcoin Standard" Andreas. You're a very smart guy but you don't have a good grasp on the nature of money.. It's definitely NOT a form of self expression. Good grief.
In the corner of my eye I saw Goku talk about bitcoin, but then as I looked directly at the thumbnail I realized Goku was actually Andreas.
ΑΝΤΡΕΑ ΠΟΥ ΤΗΝ ΒΡΗΚΕΣ ΑΥΤΗ ΤΗΝ ΜΠΛΟΥΖΑ ΘΕΛΩ ΚΑΙ ΕΓΩ ΣΥΝΕΧΙΣΕ ΔΙΑΦΩΤΙΣΤΗ
I love this man!!
I hope Andreas did step in any poop, or on any dirty needles while in San Fransisco.
Andreas has a way of making what appears to be difficult to understand very simple. His point about watching children in primary school create their own currencies based on what they value is gold.
This is being shadowbanned…
Doge then – 110 sats
Doge now – 100 sats
Those who disliked this video, please spend some time studying about the potential of Bitcoin.
You are the man. Thanks.
When I was in school we used trade / gamble with pokemon tazos, cards and WWE cards… lol #throwback
Thanks for explaining. There is more justice with adoption as a precursor, I agree.
I will tour with you and fix that audio!
Smashed the like
Four years old yet as relevant as ever. Huge thank you to Anthony to your crew for putting out such honest and authentic content around some of the largest global issues. You are truly inspiring and you had carved a special place in the history of this technology.
much wow
THANK YOU ANDREAS!
"Currency is now a choice"
love the 'Bitcoin Not bombs' shirt

@aantonop What do you think of the crazy badly moderated debate between Jimmy Song VS RogerVer? very hilarious and embarrassing at the same time ?
