How do smart contracts in Ethereum work? How are operations conducted without middlemen? Do smart contracts work with external inputs or real-world events? Can we make sure that oracles are not corrupted?

This helped make this concept a lot more clear. ?
Hello, Im almost sure I already know the answer, but i would just like to know what you would say about TRX. Just a yes or no (or shit) is ok xD In my opinion, I really feel like every direct competitor to ETH will die, or at least ETH will always be the king at what it does. TRX is a dangerous illusion in my opinion :/
Andreas, What is your opinion about quantum technology regarding Bitcoin? Can you destroy the technologies that involve Bitcoin?
Smashed the like
Do you think an organization will be created, like OPEC, which will regulate bitcoin mining, between state mining pools?
come on man! I am already unsubscribing! It's just another NWO agenda… cut it out! I could never dowload a node up to date! Ever! Never! Not ever!! Cut the bs!!
Computation needs to become cheaper. Hopefully pos will help.
So which application is best for it? None for the foreseeable future? I'm left with the impression even that's a generous statement, as apparently smart contracts are suited to automate all those things we really don't want automated.
SCAM
SIGH it's going to take a long time for useable offchain-data-integrated smart contracts to become useful. I just wish there were some legitimate decentralized oracle projects out there, instead of scams like Mobius and Chainlink.
good work marines
Chainlink
If only some Link could help with the chain.
Gia sou.. New haircut?
Did you borrow the shirt from Sergey Nazarov?
Hi Mr Antonopoulos. I've tried searching your channel for your views on Algorand but couldn't find anything. Is it that bad?
It's not often I watch a Youtube video and wonder if I've accidentally taken drugs. Good work Andreas.
how did you make your shirt turn pink? is that a bitcoin jesus miracle? ??
Interesting talk on oracles. aeternity is doing some good work in the area with oracles integrated in the main chain, sensors and crowd sourced data
We need some open source ai to verify real world events and then eli5 to humans how it came to that conclusion
Always good. Keep it up. We are counting on you!
Would have loved for you to reference Chainlink (decentralized oracle provider) in your discussion on the 2nd question. Maybe next time 🙂
Andreas.!! Thank you so much for your insight. I learn so much from you. The clarity in which you speak makes things so simple & easy to understand. I really hope to meet you some day.!!!
Be well.!!!
Ethereum is already dead. The only thing that Vitalik and co. are doin is the so called HIT AND TRIAL hoping it would finally click and work and they might finally build a world's super computer. Ethereum wasnt developed to scale from d scratch. Ethereum was built too early widout strong foundations. Those who arnt able to see the consensuschange from PoW to PoS are literally FANBOYS.
