In this talk, Andreas explores the context in which Bitcoin matters, how decentralization and open blockchains as a technology will impact our society, and whether our institutions will cope with exponential innovation or continue failing to scale.

  1. Andreas, what's your view and expectations of bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies with the lurking imminence of the advent in quantum computing and the risks that this exposes to the security and stability of the blockchain security?

  2. Might as well throw in a reference to the "sharing economy" in there and maybe we can dance around the maypole, too. However financial transactions occur, the results are still the same. Someone profits and someone doesn't. Whether it's "blockchain" or credit cards, it's exactly the same deal. All this bullshit about how "blockchain" is going to change the world is kool aid. God bless $BTC! It will make all my problems go away!!!

  3. Hi Andreas. One of your students here. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and ideas on process of technological developments. Just for fun, I started to donate $BAT to your YouTube channel using Brave browser. Hope you have verified your channel with them already.
