  1. Fantastic speech and well spoken as always with my favourite sense of dry humour. Keep up the great work Anthony. I’ve bought your book on Mastering Ethereum and can’t wait to get through it all.

  2. Oooh, I just realized why is there a field in the ebanking pages that wants "reason for the transfer" or something like that. I guess if you just type there "terrorism" they will cancel the transaction? 😀 Which is kind of crazy, cuz it does not immediately mean that it will actually be used for terrorism, right? 😀 That's insane and make no fucking sense. The story for the publisher is crazy…

  3. You seem to be a very conservative guy….. I don’t understand why you would pick on a president who embodies those same principles. I’m
    Talking about trump. Love ya and agree with all your points. But trump is the one that represents freedom and liberty and a government of the people.

  4. What "neo-nazis on facebook" is Andreas talking about!? It seems like everyone even slightly left of Stalin is getting deplatformed. Why doesn't Andreas mention the "neo-commies" or "neo-marxists" who openly infest media, schools, etc? Cringe-worthy.

  5. But Bitcoin is just another PayPal or Venmo right? What's the point? Love how Andreas shows the fallacy of thinking this way at the end. Excellent speech!

  6. So are money transmitter licenses required?? You make a strong argument ??

    Just googled the cost for a MTL: $1-1.5 million dollars (!) and the license takes ~2 years to acquire! Insane. ??‍♂️??

    Apparently PayPal and Venmo are Money Transmitters.

  7. If you were to write another book on a blockchain project other than Bitcoin or Ethereum, one you're interested in and has a real reason to exist and its network grow, what would it be on – if there is one? 🙂
