  1. so a "slow database" of some type of information or transaction private or governmental that anyone could "audit" or at least verify easily, that would give transparency and incorruptible credibility in any way possible would be Bullshit and unnecessary? I can think in hundreds of ways I would like to verify how my Government spends my taxes, how private corporations respect legal taxes, their profits, payments and spends, to verify and eliminate diverted money in the financial system? and so on… a Blockchain DataBases gives at least TRUST, SAFETY and CREDIBILITY than a normal Database wich we all know is centralized and there for, highly corruptable and trustless. But that's just my humble and no expert opinion… I also guess he also has his own private Bitcoin investment to protect in the future…

  2. Thank you. Slapping corporations in the face is better than anything else in the world. Corporations stomp on US citizens. Time to turn a page. Thank you thank you thank you thank you!

  3. recently i was in different cities across germany and i recognized.. many of them looking the same.. the same brands, shops, products, cityscape. Unique nature of city cores covert by big brand signs, stereotype designed facades just for shopping, consuming, burning money.. i asked myself, where is the unique lifestyle of the people, the originality. You must take time to find such spots because companies conquered the best spots already.. almost every city has now it's own Disneyland.

  4. amazing! i was in bitcoin March 2017 precisely because my jadedness with the the current monetary system. my hard-earned money which i have no say on how much more of it will be printed to justify governmental spending. just jaded. being very very weird, i instinctively felt a sense of belonging with the then bitcoin community. however, merely a year later, it's only old bold beer-bellied guys from the banks and insurance companies at the crypto-valley gathering… sad…

  5. Revenge of the Weirdos!

    Let's Rock, Andreas!

    Thank you for who you are!

    You never change things by fighting the existing reality.

    To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete.

  6. THANX ANDREAS…everyone should take note of ANDREAS COMMENTS from 20.00 minute mark…very astute and empowering…thanx again Andreas…STAY SAFE OUT THERE…U are our Satoshi replacement…but maybe even better…!!!
