Why Open Blockchains Matter

I swear to God, looking out of the corner of my eye, at first I thought there was a cat following Andreas across the stage.

Blockchain technology is the underlying system for cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum. Scores can be developed, or by usage of websites and apps.

may be we should find satoshi , so that andreas and satoshi can make decentralised internet

I love open source software.

Wow he is talking about IOTA

@aantonop please make more videos on the Blockchain. Pros vs cons, current limitations, application use cases. I went to my first Blockchain conference at University of California, Irvine. Many speakers talked about how to use the Blockchain for many things (mobility, agriculture, voting) and even businesses spoke of how to use it. But I left conflicted because I hear you talk about it, then I hear others talk about it. I don't know what to believe, I will do my own research and make up my own mind, but I would appreciate a video from you that focuses on the Blockchain and it's applications more specifically.

Thanks for sharing this awesome talk about the fundamentals it's all about… And thanks for all of your efforts regarding the cryptosphere!

I love you Anton and the work you do. May God bless you.

Hi Sir, The Excuse Government will have to retain control is that
1) Physical Security
2) Somethings are not good for children
3) Somethings are not good for Society, (EX. Human Trafficking, Jailbait, Pedophile, Kidnap etc.) so there should be a system/entity to control. (They will go for entity instead of system because the former eliminate their need)

Incentive for people in Government to do this –
Tax money (Basically Free Money), We are taking away (automating) their Jobs of decision making leaving them high and dry.

at least one guy understands.

Corporations = too messy. too much porn

Thank you the system of communication is the kids know the dark web is bit cons

Am I the only one that wished Andreas would kick that cellphone on a selfie stick out of existence?

Excellent ending. Money is a protocol for the human race. Not a product in itself. That's why Bitcoin emerged and so many are drawn to it, because people inherently know this. Yes you can make money from money or trading but the bigger Trojan horse is equality in global trade. The volatility will slow down as the greed from both the bulls going long and the bears going short. And then the only ups and downs will be effected by human population. Which is what money should represent.

Excellent!

Hi, are you available to visit California for a binational conference in October? Please send me your contact info

We're so early in this space, his videos are only getting 20k views. When his views reach 100k, bitcoin would be worth $30k.

The future is open!

Enjincoin ftw.

amazing how Andreas is able to come up with a new speech every time and hit the nail on its head. Truely gifted

Each time I've watch a new talk of Andreas, I repeat to myself every 4 minutes : "Damn, this guy is one level above everyone else" !
This channel and all of these videos should have 100x more views !

Good one. But why mix some coins that in reality is not decentralized and open (e.g. ripple) with others. You never discuss this issue.

we need more ppl like you, you are the artist of technical words they way you put words in a sentence is really artistic.

your funds are SAFU

So important!

YES

Thank You Andreas ✊✊✊✊✊✊✊????????

What is the correct reward for the contributors on the system? Can somebody survive and contribute full time in an open blockchain scenario?

The talk is being recorded and is now on YouTube, but there is a guy over there with his stick recording the whole thing…. ?

thank you for motivation

I'm sorry, but this is the first time I have to disagree with Andreas. Bitcoin runs on blockchain like html runs on web, not the other way around. Bitcoin is like the opensource web, say wikipedia, yes, but that is not the technology, the technology may be open or closed for better or worse. Being interested in the other applications of blockchain doesn't automatically mean you are a proprietary bank. Blockchain IS in fact that platform of trust, before blockchain we were not able to have truly trusless platform. Whatever you make on top of that platform is anyone's decision. I'm glad the platform was used to build new money system.

Andres is an unstoppable Locomotive!!

The thing about the open blockchains that 99% of current users don't get is that the bigger fork might still lose its advantage later. You probably wont remember this message when it happens with Bitcoin Cash

preach broham

It's hard to say which of Andreas' videos are the greatest because he has so darn many, but this one is really really good! Added to my favorites.

subtitule in spanis, please

Thank you so much for this! I have been trying to warn people about the threat posed by private blockchains, which companies and governments can use to try to take advantage of the technological revolution without the potential for social structure change that crypto introduces. Now I can see that I have nothing to fear, because though private blockchain doesn't need crypto, private blockchain is also shitty blockchain.

Hear hear!! Well said sir! The sooner governments and industry get past this ridiculous idea of closed block chains the better. Although i expect they will try and fail because they just don't get it. Love the use of the "Intranet" analogy..

Top level speak by Andreas, once again! THANK YOU!

2:38 Andreas taking a swipe at Microsoft or Bill Gates? ?

I've submitted a Thai subtitle for the video, if you would be so kind as to approve it so my non-english speaking friends can understand. 🙂
Some words just does not exist in Thai, words like anti-censorship, open, is not directly translate-able. Tried my best.

…..truth, maths & fairness delivered strategically… resueltos, aspecto que se trata con mucho respeto y deliberación. Your diligence is invaluable and admirable too.

This is hard porn.

This is porn.

Legendary.

It’s the LOVE of money that’s the root of all evil, not money itself. This is often misquoted.
