We know that money serves as:
– A Store of Value (SoV)
– A Medium of Exchange (MoE) and
– A Unit of Account (UoA)
But what happens when a fourth use of money is introduced, one which subordinates all the other characteristics: money as a system of control.

When a nation is going down hill, they literally will make it impossible to get capital/money out of the country…. but bitcoin just leaps over their tyranny like the joke that it is.
Crypto currency empowers the people where as this fiat money with fractional reserve system only empowers those who want to enslave.
It’s so exciting to be alive, to see the downfall of these sleazy banks, so awesome!
2019 and this is still Gold!
Thank you Andreas!!! This is such a wake up call!!!
Creators of independent money were murdered immediately (Kennedy, Kadhafi ). If these guys are alive it is another deception.
Bitcoin isn't so different. I tried to get into it early and discovered I couldn't get any mining software to work. And when I asked for help the answer was always "pay us a tax and we'll help you." how is that a revolt against old money?
Apartments can't be rented in America with Bitcoin. Not yet, not in most places. Until basic requirements for life are available with Bitcoin, then money remains king. And why would a landlord offer Bitcoin payments when they know they can't use Bitcoin to buy a car or their own house and so on.
Bitcoin can buy toys and drugs and developer labor and that's about it so far. It seems to be up against a "great filter".
What a idiot…
Paper money is trash….New generation wants Cryptocurrency…….Fuck off Fiat currency…

Absolutely beautiful. I have made many mistakes and do have some regrets, I’ll make sure that my grandchildren understand these truths.
Until Andreas I was ignorant about money. He has become our morning-star.
Best Bitcoin talk I have ever heard, well done Andreas.
??
Hands down one of the best videos anybody needing to " WAKE UP " desperately needs to see
The war on drugs was actually about financial control!
You're the man! Be careful these sick fucks in the "system" don't try to kill the messenger. God Bless!
He panders to little people, but his argument is mainly focused on how the System of Control affects countries and not individuals.
почему описание и название видео на русском?
Fantastic message and increasing relevance by the minute.
How to eat and drink digital?
Genius
Brillant talk from Andreas ! One of the best I think. I am a millenial and I'm already exiting the matrix. #Bitexit
Please german subtitles Andreas. Gearmanspeakers need your inspiration. Great work again.

Fiat money is not a real money.
Six billion people are not going to trade their hard earned money for extreme buyingselling fees, low security, high learning curve, constant hacks, no FDIC security, massive price fluctuation, govt persecution, govt imprisonment, torture from criminals for your keys.
How does this only have 89,000 views….I feel like 7 billion people need to have watched this!
This guy is amazing
Андреас, а вы говорите по русски? )
I think this is the most pissed off Andreas tone among all his videos to date. This would be funny to listen to if he spoke it all in german.
This is by far the best talk I have ever heard on Bitcoin.
after spitting facts, then drops the proverbial mic!
YES ANDREAS!!!! YES !!!!
Love this video!!
Bitcoin enables a system of control as much as any other representation of something that does not exist. Unless the mechanism of capital accumulation is prohibited by equal distribution, massive inequality will never be effectively challenged in the political realm. So, what we use to represent capital will continue to serve a mask for the system of control it represents. .
