Trust without centralization, digital cash without identity, and the currency commons beyond corporations. In this talk, Andreas clarifies what “trustless” means and explains why we should avoid departing from a realm where people can pay people without intermediaries imposing their political choices into every transaction. He also argues that cashlessness represents a fundamental shift in the relationship between people and money, people and the state, people and corporations.
This talk took place on May 31st 2017 for the ‘Talk and Trade’ meetup at the Blockchain Centre in Melbourne, Australia: https://antonopoulos.com/event/talk-and-trade-bitcoin-melbourne/

I think Archimedes, Plato and Aristotle would be proud on Andreas cause I think he can be added to the list of wise greeks
Manbun Australia… i mean…. Melbourne Australia
It's not fair to say any people from a nation don't deserve bitcoin. Individuals from 95% of the globe, just need make a choice to take action to use Bitcoin in any form. They deserve it, the poorest people deserve us using it the most, because it's possible the most tangible modality and modalities to fight poverty…and oppression
Thank you from Peru.
Thank you Andreas for a great presentation to the Blockchain Centre and Blockchain Melbourne community. Look forward to hosting you here again soon.
A fantastic talk… continuously amazing at Andreas' ability to put things in perspective, draw historical connections and explain what so many of us feel but cannot express.
trustless = "principles before personalities," an interesting tenant of AA.
The saddest part here is that your videos don't have hundreds of thousands (or even millions considering the importance of the content) of views 🙁
Amazing speech. True visionary
Another great and very interesting video..thanks!
Thank you for mentioning Venezuela
Great talk, thank you Andreas
Thanks Anton!
AA = Always Awesome !…
Whats your opinion on Dotcoin for a safe hold? It seems not to be affected by the recent volatility.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN IT DOESN'T MATTER WHO INVENTED THE CURRENCY ARE YOU INSANE
"Democratically elected representatives" "represent" us even worse than corporations, and unlike the latter the former can't be fired by us as individuals:

You never fail to deliver the good stuff Andreas! Awesome.
Another awesome talk!
bitcoin is vital to our basic economic freedom
cashless society controlled by the 'banks' is so dangerous , having the authorities controlling your ability to buy food and just live on a day to day basis is a possibility in a time of crisis or political unrest just because you don't agree with there views
buy bitcoin give a big fuck you to the system and control !!
Love it
we dont know who the inventer is? dosnt really matter ????????????
bitcoin is down to 2055 usd. great time to buy fellas
I am helping my friends to open bitcoin wallet, sending them some bitcoins to start with and to learn more about it. It is always funny to answer questions about how is it working, how do I pay with it and etc.. Regarding the bitcoin sell panic that is right now going on, that is those who bought at 2800usd and higher and now there is panic that bitcoin is going to go down even more. Well panic is everywhere right now. People cant you just wait few more days until august the 1st? Price will go again up, that is sure. Great video again with great comment about what and how Mr. Antonopoulos, waiting for next one.
I'm still fairly new to this topic…I don't see how if Bitcoin is such a transparent system how we cannot trace back to the original creator. Can someone start a cryptocurrency today, totally anonymous like Satoshi Nakamoto? And no one can figure out who started it?
Nobody does it better, nobody does it half as good as you Andreas your the best. So lucky to have you on the Bitcoin side.
Everywhere I look, people are just being like: "uhh uhh bitcoin went down 10%, uhh bitcoin didn't %5341 up in a week, crypto is over"… I really wish everyone would start caring more about the real issue here. Bitcoin is much more than a tool to gamble your fiat currency, it's fucking freedom, it's real power to real people. Once you understand this, you'll hodl no matter what; and in the end, will be rewarded for such. Thanks Andreas for enlightening us.
