Will regulation stop scams or bad investments? Regulation pushes things into the background, it doesn’t stop it from happening or fix the cognitive biases (confirmation bias, selection bias, survivor bias) that contribute to addictive gambling behaviour and speculation. Gambling is a tax on people who don’t understand probability. Checking the price of bitcoin or ether triggers your dopamine center. You shouldn’t be looking at these technologies as investments, particularly short-term investments. They’re meant to be learned from.

Anyone remember Andreas before he was promoting centrally premited scams like Ethereum, a project only the most technically illiterate and retarded support, literally known as chain of liars and thieves? 72 million coins that depend entirely on trust in a central party on every chain forever is as centralized as it gets, and he loses all credibility. Andreas is a scammer.
He has very closed body language, it makes me uncomfortable. As if he is hiding something or protecting himself.
Great glue analogy
The audio is not good enough for a non-native 🙁
How can crypto assets be regulated? They're decentralized and operate globally. That's the beauty of it all! Investors should do their due diligence before investing in anything.
Thaks for sharing this!
Andreas is the man!
respect for being pro legalization of drugs!
very nice man, continue to spread the word and knowledge!!!
Great video
Pretty sure scarf man is sleeping 😀
Hey Anton, love the info. The audio isn't that great, please see if you can get better audio equipment for future videos!
