Good overview, but I'd suggest you look up how people's names are pronounced. Neither Ulbricht or Bankman-Fried are pronounced that way, and it makes it sound like you've only just heard about them. I'm also not so sure about the casual dismissal of "blah blah blockchain, doesn't matter". It certainly does matter when the bitcoin network is stuck on abysmally low transaction rates for this exact reason, and consumes ungodly amounts of energy for the very same reason - both making it completely unusable as an actual currency. There's also so much more that is made possible by smart contracts and the whole tech around blockchain, all the while having massive problems with the slightest mistake being made irreversible, not at all what we'd want from a real-life system.

Happy $100K Bitcoin fam!!!!!!! Great video btw!
Great overview. Thanks.
Great video as always. Informative and you broke things down so that was easy for someone like me, who knows nothing about this topic, to understand.
Thank you! It’s a topic with LOTS of info, but I feel like I broke it down to its most important points.
