one simple explanation from my part , its because he speaks English , simple as that . nowadays we speak something else , full of arrogance and selfishness . Andreas is greek first of all and English is his second language , so I guess he uses what he needs to use of the simple English out there . peace
Andreas spreads the great word and awareness across the globe. And when people come around with this new thing and catch the interest.. the first places they go for more is logically Bitcoin -twitter account and Bitcoin.com. And the first propaganda FUD battle starts there.
If i had to choose which are the top 10 speaks of Andreas i would for sure put this one in the list. He is a real teacher of free life and living. I am glad i had the opportunity to listen to him from near and shake hands. Keep up the good teaching
What a beautiful mind. What a clean mind. The presence of Spirit (and lack of ego) are gleaming... as always. Continued prayers for Andreas to stay protected in Spirit as he continues his journey.
Government regulations are what scares me. In my 60 years on this planet, I have never known any government to do anything right, other than line their own pockets.
Your comments on the creation of enemies by extreme polarization were clairvoyant as fuck. Continually amazed at the duality of your technical knowledge and social awareness. Killer combo, and exactly what's needed.
I love it Andreas! You could call this video " The Emergence of Democratic Anarchy". Democratic because bitcoin is consensus based and Anarchy because bitcoin is leaderless and without appeal to authority, governed by code created through consensus and enforced through the incorruptible laws of mathematics. Great video!
Dear Andreas, Thank you again for a great speech. Please allow me to ask: How does the consensus work, when good devs try to make Bitcoin better? Are there 50 devs in total who vote for implementation of something 1 dev made? Or are there 1000 devs who have that power? You said that any change will only be implemented when there is consensus in the community. Who is the "community"? I have a few Bitcoin... I am very active in "the community" by listening to you on TH-cam, and a lot of others. I follow good people on Twitter. But nobody asked my opinion/vote when a change is suggested. When there is a change implemented, is that called a softfork? Is every little change a softfork? In other words: What exactly is the structure of how changes are made? And more important: Who are the people that have to agree and how many of them are there in total? Thank you so very much for clarifying this. It puzzles me already longtime.
Consider this: There are 100 devs and 60 of them agree on what they think is the best modification to implement forward. They have majority among the 100 devs so they commit these changes to official bitcoin software. The remaining 40 devs, or anybody that thinks this is a bad idea can fork the source code and work in a different direction. Now say those 40 devs in the minority were actually right, based on the opinion of bitcoin users around the world. People would keep using the version they prefer and eventually they would agree on one of the two because there is too much at stake. For each user, the only incentive is to make bitcoin better for every user, not just himself, because that would drive people away and his currency would lose value. So as a whole the users decide the future of bitcoin, if that makes sense.
Also @bugswillbite, to add to your eloquent explanation, humanity has 'soft forked' & 'hard forked' for centuries (if not millennia) w/ their decisions of FAITH. Think of denominations of the Christian religion. Whenever a faction of the church had a disagreement over certain interpretations in the Bible, they decided to mutually part ways & form a new denomination (a type of Hard Fork) w/ others of like mind. In essence, as AA has eluded to in this talk (as well as others around Oct/Nov 2017), cryptocurrencies/alt coins, will thrive in varying degrees on the basis of FAITH/BELIEF of users of each coin's protocols/governance as stated in their 'white papers'. As coins evolve based on scale, consensus steers the direction of the coin causing the users to make a choice whether to continue use or Soft Fork/Hard Fork or discontinue use of said coin.

Damir Kruljac Ivan on tech is a shyster; witness his hurry up and give me the money course promotion, especially the 18k vip option. If it was up to me I would even let him in the room.
Damir Kruljac exactly. Got to learn to review my comments before I commit. Anyway, nothing wrong that Ivan the techie is trying to make some money off his knowledge/research but his approach says sleazy. There are only a few people I would trust in this space, Andreas is one of them. Worst thing I would say about Andreas is that he is a tad naive, maybe, but he is absolutely genuine.
So precise and clear and deep. Thank you Andreas. This presentation is visionary. Freedom, connection, oneness, open to everyone, boundaryless, instantanious, these are also qualities of the field of consciousness, which is a real thing. Bitcoin is going to effect global change on every level, en mass. It is the foundation for all that follows. Keep sharing your message.
IMPORTANT: The community needs to learn about a place or places where and average user can know what are the latest consensus from the paperWallets address algorithm all the way to the new accepted forks rules from legitimate forks
If only we could structure our society like this, to have rules without rulers... Too many people that have no skin in the game want to make calls in how I should use my property!
Andreas for president 😁, even if we dont need rulers anymore, sb should can still have the title. My vote goes for Andreas, even when, sadly, he is a BTC guy.
Great words. Bitcoin is opening up the possibilities to a life without rule sets at the whim of someone who is unnecessarily acting as your boss. Being free to choose your associations, to be financially empowered, to be censorship resistant and to live decentralized is what it is all about. Make sure to make the choices in Bitcoin that will keep enabling that.
the best way to achieve something is not by democracy. is by testing many things and then keeping the best. thats why i love the creation of many altcoins. im hoping for the best one to win
@@LightWorkerBass People living hand to mouth like this can't take risks with money and fluctuating exchange rates. They don't have capital and therefore are unlikely to need a system that allows free movement of capital. Using the Bitcoin network *requires fees*, and (on-chain fees at least) are beyond the means of someone in that position. Bitcoin can help people in a financial position like this, but only indirectly IMHO. A village of people in such a position for example might collectively accumulate the knowledge & capital to leverage this technology. Samson may also be wrong, who cares? He is just a guy with an opinion. People can and will use these tools if it makes their lives better. It just doesn't make sense to *push* this stuff on people that have more important and urgent things to deal with.
I may be wrong, however, I'm seeing a bigger picture evolve in my head while watching this, mainly, a political blockchain. What would happen if we have a political system "governed" within the blockchain concept?
That is what Etherium was suppose to solve, but it has become misguided. You have touched on the endgame problem. Andreas is correct BTC will never be shut down but I fear it will be rendered useless. What happens when the government (say the USA) or more correctly the Fed or IMF or BIS announces their hard fork of BTC. "BTCUSA" or "BitcoinFed", now all you btc owners get a 1:1 coin. The government restricts any corp from receiving btc and requires all commerce/taxes, etc... in the country (say USA) to be conducted in btcusa, using the full power of the FTC, IRS and the rest of the governmental alphabet. I think most noobs will roll over because they don't really understand what is at stake. Little will they realize the BTCUSA white paper will allow them to make more coins or some centralized nonsense involving mining. Something that will allow every citizen to start mining and basically receive a universal income. All the sheeple will go for it and then a few years later after the point of mass adoption they will demand all paper cash be turned in, then start making BTCUS coins or reducing mining fees and squeeze the basic income down.
Andeas's expressive wonderment of our future society''s exchanging crytpo-values for goods is sweet & sour. On three occassions in this talk he used the word 'economy' when the word society was more apt. Sadly this brilliant, international fiducial, cultural & social therapist is ignorant to the fact that ALL socialism/capitalism economic theories are unjust and the alternative to both is an equality of oppertunity arising from Rasrism. Digestion will not include the tart and tangy face pull so common in audiences when taxation theory is promolgated by those of whom know better but choose to Kowtow to the encumbent public office holders who serve a private corporations operating as a government institution. Of which the citizens is compelled to serve.
There are a few hundred developers working on the core protocol. There are tens of thousands working on applications such as wallets, exchanges and other infrastructure. So no, it's decentralized and becoming *more* decentralized all the time.
“We love the idea of freeing the world from monopoly money, freeing the world from monopoly banking, of bringing economic participation to 7.5 billion people.” Ahem, brother.
Santa Claus is a fascist dictator... LMFAO !! As always, you're THE best advocate of the crypto space, Andreas! And to the people that will inevitably reply to this post: It's a joke, he made a joke. Don't get hung up on it too much....
This is only way funner for the people that are in it early. What about the last guy that gets into bitcoin after it completely takes over at its highest price
If you look at this from a sexist point of view men are more willing to take risks than women are. I have explained about crypto to my sister and she struggles with the concept and investing in anything.
This might sound strange but the power of the blockchain is its decentralisation - yes. And yet it's as though the bitcoin blockchain is currently a focus of centralisation. I'm not familiar with the intricacies of the coding and mathematics involved, but is it possible to have a system where a new blockchain is created every time someone wants to participate in the trade of a particular commodity? So let's say there are the people who trade wheat or salt or whatever. They have their own discrete blockchain. I guess what I'm suggesting is that rather than scaling up bitcoin, is it possible to separate it into many smaller blockchains that are used by communities whose members will quite naturally do a lot of trading with each other. I hope this makes sense to someone.
There might be coins for particular commodities but there might also be coins for local communities who do regular transactions amongst themselves. So each person would have wallets for a variety of coins and those coins would reflect the "circles" or communities of which that person participates as a trading member. I'm seeing Venn diagrams here.
Nature is such a source of inspiration! When a living thing seeks to grow, it divides its cells - and then those cells grow, and then it divides those cells again ... Can such a thing be done with crypto coins and trade?
I think ultimately the world will trade in numerous "small" coins which are locally based. And dare I suggest it, I think one day bitcoin itself will no longer exist. But for now (and for many years to come) bitcoin will be the primary method by which people transition and exchange from fiat currencies to cryptocurrencies. Once they have bitcoin, they can then exchange that for other more locally-based cryptos which pertain to their particular trading habits.
I think if banks were smart (and here I mean local banks, not those dead shits that have monopolised world money) ... but if local banks were smart, they would act as exchanges from fiat to bitcoin. But then citizens would need to be able to exchange their money through the bank anonymously and I'm not sure that banks would or could do that. The government, in its grasp for tax dollars, will no doubt seek to monitor people's use of money via banks. Poor governments. They're in so much debt to the dead shit monopolisers and people are going to progressively hide their money in cryptos and not pay tax. I predict Trump is going to declare the USA bankrupt.
So naif that idea of freeing the world from monopoly of currency and banks and also to refuse to consider the possibility of some intelligent agency behind the whole technology even when it's of public knowledge that SHA 256 was devised by NSA and that ARPANET, the predecesor of Internet, was a US military project. What will happen when government goes global? Will it be then possible to regulate bitcoin and crypto currencies? By the way this guy is so good as a speaker. I'd like to be like him 😅
Andreas, it seems to me that we have a shift in the way people invest in companies and their technology. The shift is occurring, I think away from traditional model of people owning shares of a company to people investing in companies via they are number one asset, their token. As such, could you please inform us which companies are offering tokens for supporting the core ideals inherent in Bitcoin. I am particularly looking for companies that are working on actual infrastructure and the ecosystem.
I watch these videos because it's Andreas and it's his channel, but I gotta be honest these videos aren't informative at all for me, and are usually dated as fuck. NO way of knowing how old the video is or if he's uploaded the same clip to his channel already. The information on this channel is limited.
No notes, no slides, no teleprompter. No fumbling for words. No ums, no ahs.
Tim Felsky Andreas is the best speaker in the space 👍🏻
Unlike every politician ever.
@aantonop for decentralized president!?!
hahah! funniest oxymoron I heard in a long while :D
Such an eloquent speaker
He has become so good at speaking. Confidence without being cocky, difficult concepts with 100% clarity.
Seems to me he has always been good at speaking. He is just becoming better and more polished. Brilliant man.
I really wish I could express my ideas verbally as well as Andreas. He's so clear and convincing! Something I need to work on.
Find something you're passionate about, learn it, and then share it! :D
one simple explanation from my part , its because he speaks English , simple as that . nowadays we speak something else , full of arrogance and selfishness . Andreas is greek first of all and English is his second language , so I guess he uses what he needs to use of the simple English out there . peace
Me too

Bridgett Ann I concur totally!
Your videos are pretty much the only ones on TH-cam that I watch in regular speed! Simply because they are worth it.
Thanks a lot for your work!
Government regulations are what scares me. In my 60 years on this planet, I have never known any government to do anything right, other than line their own pockets.
It's called freedom, finally. What a concept..
Your comments on the creation of enemies by extreme polarization were clairvoyant as fuck. Continually amazed at the duality of your technical knowledge and social awareness. Killer combo, and exactly what's needed.
This man is one of the best public speakers earth has.

Thank you Andreas!!!
Συγχαρητήρια Αντρέα για την ομιλία σου !
Brilliant. Thank you for posting.
i love Andreas M. Antonopoulos with all my heart. another stellar video!!!!
One of my favorite things to remind people is, opinions are not right or wrong. So refreshing to hear you say that
You are such a great speaker. People should just stand and admire. A great lecture with a lot of beautiful thoughts. Thank you!
I love it Andreas! You could call this video " The Emergence of Democratic Anarchy". Democratic because bitcoin is consensus based and Anarchy because bitcoin is leaderless and without appeal to authority, governed by code created through consensus and enforced through the incorruptible laws of mathematics. Great video!
Democratic anarchy... that is a perfect description of BTC!!! I love it
Anarcho-capitalism.
Awesome speech ...I feel a revolution is coming
This is a beautiful talk..
So refreshing !! I'll never get tired to hear from you aantonop !! :D
Thank you Andreas. Really enjoying the ongoing content.
Bitcoin will win.
Bitcoin über alles!
Where’s my bitcoin emoji already
Heil Bitcoin!
Literally the talk I’ve been needing to share with people - bravo Andreas 👌🏻
It is just delightful to hear andreas, so clear and brilliant.

Only the miners can "vote".
Dear Andreas, Your talks are music to my ears!
Separation of state and money is the best idea I've ever heard.
THANK YOU ANDREAS
Sometimes i'm convinced that this guy is either Satoshi Nakomoto "himself" or part of the intimate team that used the pseudonym...
Andreas is such a great orator

Peter Elios yes, I agree. Many of them get paid to promote certain crypto or ICO.
Thank you for your permanent commitment
Thank you! Much appreciated.

Those words sound even more powerful now, 5 years later

Most excellently said.
About who is he talking at 16:30?

Andreas, what's your opinion about hashgraph?
Alexis Rodríguez probably thinks it' a bullshit and boring tech.
This man is a fucking genius I love these talks

This man is inspirational and foward thinking. Impressive
Thank you.
very informative lesson!!!
Samson Mow - "Bitcoin isn't for people that live on less than $2 a day. "
Hopefully, lightning will change that
Why not ? please elaborate.
Bullshit. Replace those $2 a day to people using 0.0000002 BTC and watch how things change quick.

Run for prez
Anytime I'm pissed off at this space I always find my way back to these speeches. Can we reset and remember wtf this movement is about?
Awesome speach Andreas. I need to speak with you about what a democracy really is.
I may be wrong, however, I'm seeing a bigger picture evolve in my head while watching this, mainly, a political blockchain. What would happen if we have a political system "governed" within the blockchain concept?

8:20 I gotta write that down
everyone is in control
imagine Antonopoulos , Harari and Harris at the same table
Hi Andreas, are there only a few hundred bitcoin developers in the world, does it make bitcoin centralized?
There are a few hundred developers working on the core protocol. There are tens of thousands working on applications such as wallets, exchanges and other infrastructure. So no, it's decentralized and becoming *more* decentralized all the time.
Ivan on tech I see you there front row!
“We love the idea of freeing the world from monopoly money, freeing the world from monopoly banking, of bringing economic participation to 7.5 billion people.”
Ahem, brother.
Santa Claus is a fascist dictator... LMFAO !! As always, you're THE best advocate of the crypto space, Andreas!
And to the people that will inevitably reply to this post:
It's a joke, he made a joke. Don't get hung up on it too much....
When was this speech given, right after segwit2x fail?
This is only way funner for the people that are in it early. What about the last guy that gets into bitcoin after it completely takes over at its highest price
Why are they now taxing profits made from bitcoin?
I swear to God I just saw Socrates give a speech on Bitcoin!
28:29 Ivan on tech :D
GREAT WORK
You're a good person Andreas
Is there a way I could pay Bitcoin to see your videos in a more timely fashion? I would have liked to see this when you did the talk.
Join his Patreon channel.
DECRED is much closer to solving the decentralization problem
Look at that crowd. What a dude ranch. I'll know Bitcoin has made in when I see rooms like this filled with both men and women, old and young.
If you look at this from a sexist point of view men are more willing to take risks than women are. I have explained about crypto to my sister and she struggles with the concept and investing in anything.
BOOOOOM!
Brilliant!
Wonderful!
NOT YOUR KEYS = NOT YOUR COINS
Awesome video dude.
en what is bad and good!!

By the way this guy is so good as a speaker. I'd like to be like him 😅
his hairline is non inflatable too, and he has been a bit eager mining it.. saludos andreas!
Liberty > convenience
Uau!!! Thank you!!!
Andreas, it seems to me that we have a shift in the way people invest in companies and their technology.

Don't blind by bcash. Always looking long term
Electroneum to the moon!!!
13:10 Ethereum today lolol...costs too much
It's not a battle of BTC vs ETH
#JediWisdom
I watch these videos because it's Andreas and it's his channel, but I gotta be honest these videos aren't informative at all for me, and are usually dated as fuck. NO way of knowing how old the video is or if he's uploaded the same clip to his channel already. The information on this channel is limited.
Can we get a talk a week? This feels dated already.
