  1. Hello Andreas, thanks for your videos. I have learnt so much in such a short time.
    You mentioned 4 technologies underpinned bitcoin. And that blockchain is just one of those 4 technologies. Which are the other 3?

  2. Thanks for including timestamps for each topic in the ext. description above. This would be much appreciated going forward for all of these speech type vids as every BTC user/viewer here has limited time & different levels of knowledge within the BTC space. Jumping directly to the timestamp of BTC ignorance saves us time listening/watching the topics we've learned/heard in the past.

    As usual, Andreas was well aware of this I'm sure; hence he spent his time to timestamp topics discussed to save us all time.

  3. Loved the ending! Open question to all: If I'm a compliance officer at a bank, what can I do to bridge the gap of innovation? What moral responsibilities do banks have re Bitcoin/blockchain? What would you do if in this position? The more genuine and detailed your response, the better.
