In this talk, Andreas covers the history of financial regulation in the United States, and how banks became the cop of last resort in countries around the world. He questions why we have come to accept totalitarian surveillance in our financial lives while protesting against other invasions of privacy. Finally, he argues that Bitcoin will thrive outside the golden cage of the banking cartel.

This talk took place on June 27th 2019 at Technische Universität München for the Bitcoin Munich meetup in Munich, Germany: https://aantonop.com/event/community-event-munich/

  1. this is by far the best video i have ever seen !!! lets all unite and distinguish world poverty. thank you Andreas for spreading your knowledge and opening our eyes to a world we dont know to the world we can become.

  2. Very powerful and touching speech. Thank you sir! By the way I was one of those Iranians kicked out of banks too until a company I worked for wrote a letter to the bank saying we gotta pay him in a way…

  3. Andreas, to your question "can bank buy this bew competitor called bitcoin?"
    I am sorry but the answer is YES.
    Bitcoin is a 100 billion $, well banks can print 90 billions every month doing Q. E so they can buy all bitcoin for sale and own this new competitor as they did with paypal and all orher.

  4. 24:00 history doesn't repeat but it rhymes. Andreas sounds like the Richard Stallman of crypto and this sounds a lot like Microsoft's attempts to crush Linux in it's early days. I would have loved to be in the room when Gates and Ballmer were told that they can't just "buy it".

  5. Andreas I know u r doing this by yourself, but dude, Have yourself some nice video equipment, I mean a good mic, a good camera, some zoom, some quality to the videos. I know all the excuses but at this point, Please! the viewer deserve it. Your subscriber at least.
    I appreciate everything that u do 4 the people, I'm in crypto, and thanks to you I'm learning a lot and i'm very grateful and i thank you 4 all of it.
    keep pushing .

  6. The Illegal immigrant talk was not very relevant. Banks themselves push for illegal immigrants and globalization. Pick a side and stick with it, there's a problem when you devalue people's labour by bringing in more foreign workers.

    They are ILLEGAL because they got into the country ILLEGALLY. Seems pretty simple to me

  7. 4:50 One of the signs of the collapse of the American empire (besides the world going off the dollar as its reserve currency and the electric car taking over the traditional one, just like digital photography took over the film) will be the Swiss reinstating their bank secrecy laws. My guess is it's less than 20 years away.

  8. You were doing great right up until the unnecessary dig at Melania Trump (who can’t be blamed for any of this, just as your Iranian friend can’t be blamed) and the absurd and irrelevant “concentration camp” line.

    Honestly, Andreas, you can do better than Orange Man Bad. In case you hadn’t noticed, the Orange Man is being attacked by this very same cartel you’re pushing so hard against.

    Additionally, its supporters of Orange Man who are being de-platformed by the payment processing and banking cartels, just like the legal marijuana businesses.
