@@gillipollas754 Vitalik has a lecture where he basically analyzes Bitcoin as having started the field of cryptoeconomics, which is using economic concepts (e.g. game theory) to achieve a design goal in software. E.g. bitcoin uses mining as a economic system to achieve consensus, something not done with code alone, but as the resulting sum of human actions.
agreed about his attitude and disposition. i think in large part why people like vitalik, elon and other smart people are humble is because they are similarly surrounded by smart people. in this type of environment, you can only have respect for your peers and colleagues and be kind of in awe yourself. also, when you're that rich, you are likely only seeing the best sides of people. you're no-one's subordinate where you have to take orders, for example.
And that too when he got more money than he can think of using at such a young age. Although, he has been a great competitive programmer. So, he knew is ability & potential all along :) !
I saw Vitalik in a documentary about Bitcoin, long before he had invented Etherium. Back then he was a guy going around talking about Bitcoin. Even more awkward and shy, he has come a long way and is now helping to reshape the world.
He reveals several hints for being in the autistic spectrum. To me that is a sign of genius, commitment, strong urge to do the right thing, see the world as one big integrated system. And, mostly harmless. I ll buy some more eth.
@@camielkotte If you know more on autistic spectrum it becomes obvious. And it is not very cool to talk about it, it is just a trait, many times its an obstacle. Would you talk about somebody who is ginger in this way?
@@BetaKadn I don’t know personally, however most people who are genius level intelligence-wise are “on that spectrum” if you will, to a degree. It seems rare to find someone like a Richard Feynman who seemed more “normal” but was still very high up there in IQ. It seems to me most geniuses are not like that. I’m not sure it’s even flat out autism, but it’s in that realm generally.

He learned about Bitcoin when he was 17 and created Etherium when he was 19. So around the age when most male teenagers would be after girls and booze.
There were some very tough questions asked in this Lex, you didn't hold back. Vitalik blew my mind with his quick intellect. He could expand so much on the questions you were asking. Hats off to both of you, for a phenomenal interview!

He’s the first person I’ve heard speak highly of non-centralized currency not because he hates centralized currency. He simply thinks it’s better. More elegant.
It is a shame that my Brazilian fellows, for lack of language skills or sheer immaturity, prefer to flood the comments section instead of enjoying this wonderful and intellectually stimulating conversation. 99% of them have no idea of who Vitalik is, they've just flock here because some random brazilian streamer got hacked and vitalik's face was in the scammers account.

Unlike so many other products of its type, this CD does not have bad synthesizer music, does not feature a phony or affected style of narration, and does not make any bogus claims to be subliminal or to re-train the brain or any of that balderdash. What you get is 1. a guided meditation for getting into a pleasantly relaxed state of body awareness while taking a stroll (superb for those easing back into a fitness routine slowly after an illness or injury) 2. A nice long breath-awareness relaxation session that if followed diligently can put you into very deep states of full-body relaxation and mental calmness, and 3. a buddhist-inspired meditation session designed to help you develop and maintain feelings of loving kindness toward not just yourself and your friends, but toward people you don't even like. The CD makes no claims to be designed for advanced meditators or for buddhists or hindus/yoga practitioners looking for very deep and esoteric stuff. It is geared more toward the average person who just wants to develop the habit of relaxation and stress relief through natural, healthy means. him, if you happen to be reading this, keep up the good work fella, and I love your accent. I would also like to note that I have never fallen asleep while listening to this product. I would like to kindly suggest to the reviewer who said this CD makes him fall asleep, that he might want to get checked to see if he has a sleep disorder, or if he is simply not setting aside ample time for restful sleep at night. A healthy person getting adequate rest at night should be able to go into deep states of mental relaxation without dozing off, if not all the time, then most of the time.
I really like Vitalik. He seems a very honest, genuine guy whose values are based on peace, fairness and benevolence. An interview with him about everything except crypto (girls, hobbies,fav books, personal experiences, stories, politics etc) would be fantastic. We all know what he has/is accomplished. I want to who he is in his own time. Great interview anyway, thanks a lot.

The way you deliver the ads makes me interested to hear the sponsors, something about the transparent, direct, no bullshit way of delivering, not only a way out if we want to skip the advertisements, but in addition your delivery avoids upsetting us like other channels might when they hid their sponsors behind a smooth, unexpected, sudden transition to an advert especially when they’re in the middle or at the end of a video (when our interest is peaking) so I really appreciate that youve delivered them in the way you do
How come our politicians aren’t as well thought out as these two who are young and very smart and able to realize both sides of a situation and have studied in philosophy no we have some old timers that are 70 years and can’t possibly guide us through these complicated issues

Since, I started trading with Mrs. Karis Mathew I made HUGE profits on my investments, her trading strategies are top notch with small commissions on her trades.
I also invest with Mrs Karis, she charges 20% commission on the profit made after each trading session and it is fair compared to the effort she puts in to make huge profits.
Amazing I just started trading with Mrs Karis Mathew she is the best at what she does with initial investment of $2750 I made up to $7890 in just one week of trading with her, her strategies are amazing .
As a first time investor I started trading with Mrs. Karis Mathew with only a thousand dollars. Within a few weeks of trading with her my portfolio value increased.

This may be one of the best showings of Vitalik that I've seen to date. He is quite fascinating. I had the joy of sitting behind him at Microsoft Build even though we never met...and to think he was more consequential in his young life than all the other folks in that room. Wild stuff. I do like the quote at the end from Lex. I would like to find a Lex Parser someday.
One of my favorite definitions of an oft-misunderstood word, "humility," is "One's ability to remain *right sized*". In other words: not too big, haughty, or arrogant; but *also* not too *small*: and not being *too small* involves being cognizant of one's abilities; accurately recognizing them, then using them appropriately.
37:16 Vitalik just illuminated me (blew my mind) to the full understanding of a programers exact view of the blockchain technology, in a nutshell. thank you, great interview
Amazing interview. I find it remarkable that Vitalik is able to break down complex theories and processes in such a way that us mere mortals are able to understand. Beautiful!
So great to see you two in the same room. My mind is blown by Vitalik's brilliance and humility. I've been buying Etherium for a few years and it's good to know how he thinks.
Lex - you seriously make me want to become a better human being. Your podcasts has brought true joy and knowledge to my life. Thank you and continue on your journey. I’m praying and rooting for you!

@Heath Sims not really, when compared to those at savant status. The fact that he's holding a full conversation means he's at least more towards the social/interpersonal end rather than the autism end. He's a lucky man, in some ways - these sorts of people are the next to rule the world because most of them are just a step or two above everyone else when it comes to thinking about this kind of complicated tech stuff. The only boundary holding some people back from being the figure that Vitalik is, is that they don't possess the ability to deal with interactions and conversation that he also has. I went to high school with a guy that Vitalik really reminds me of. A bit of an odd child, he didn't talk to people much by choice but he was an absolute wizard with computers. He was the kid that had hacked the school network by the 8th grade and used the breach purely to load game files for CS, Quake and Doom etc so that kids could play these games on any pc on the network and they only needed to know the folder address to type into the Explorer url field. All these teachers were freaking out about this security breach and here's this "big cyber threat" sitting under their noses and playing games when they left the room. Sadly, im an idiot and never bothered to learn much more about him. I wasnt mean to him, but we weren't friends either so I don't know what he's up to, now, but I wouldn't be surprised if he was incredibly rich... I hope you were all kind to these kids if there were any at your schools, because they'll be our bosses soon...

I would love to see that
He has there a lex episode on j.r.e
@@MeatCatCheesyBlaster Yeah Rogan's an NPC
Joe "Whats your stance on edibles?" Rogan
Thats like asking a calculator to talk to a hot dog
The deep and wide knowledge plus the humbleness in Vitalik's explanations are just extraordinary. This guy is trying to create a new better world using computer science while I'm working on building a CRUD app to gather customers information. omg man, you're making me question everything about me now. I feel so stupid when I listen to these people lol Respect Respect Respect.
I'm literally doing that while listening to him, feel shitty tbh😂
So, have you made a change?
I'm on the same page rofl
The way you deliver the ads makes me interested to hear the sponsors, something about the transparent, direct, no bullshit way of delivering, not only a way out if we want to skip the advertisements, but in addition your delivery avoids upsetting us like other channels might when they hid their sponsors behind a smooth, unexpected, sudden transition to an advert especially when they’re in the middle or at the end of a video (when our interest is peaking) so I really appreciate that youve delivered them in the way you do
he delivers it so good u never realize the whole thing is an ad
How come our politicians aren’t as well thought out as these two who are young and very smart and able to realize both sides of a situation and have studied in philosophy no we have some old timers that are 70 years and can’t possibly guide us through these complicated issues
Because they are elected by the masses. The masses are generally extremely idiotic, so their choice of representation reflects their intelligence.
Politicians are about people, Buterin is about tech. Neither probably understand the other's world.
@@JunkBondTrader your awnser sounds beautiful and correct, but in the core is just dumb as fuck. No offense intended.
You can tell he has a huge brain.
Brains ain't everything. You have to also be working on the right problem, and a real solution to it.
Shit you can see it, literally.

Would you rather have a huge brain, or born handsome?
@@rappinron1384 didn’t even say he was bad looking. Clearly has a larger than average head. If we are speaking hypothetically, I’d rather have both.
Lex is Zen AF... So glad I discovered this channel of ideas.
Is that millenial for "extremely basic"?
Weed me thinks
Yes! there is something so calming about him.. who knew learning about Crypto could be so peaceful. I watch this when I can't sleep.
Just listen to his voice, you know he is a genius
No doubt
Good thing I saw the thumbnail for the or I would have had Marvin the Martian talking in my head for the duration of the podcast.
@@DJMMLJ bro no dumb person talks like that
he's got that nofap bass in his voice
It definitely seems like his brain is working a lot faster then his ability to articulate it
Thanks!
It surprised me to see an interview with Vitalik, great job Lex
I want to like your comment since I was also surprised, but i'm not sure if I should break the '69'.

I think we will be looking back on this moment in multiple decades.
Why is this not in 256k holores??
I wonder on the implications of being able to engage in contracts with anyone in the world? I hope that the regular people who will become rich in the next few years will lift the poor out of poverty and give back to our communities and humanity at large. We stand on the precipice of a momentous change in human history, economically, politically and socially.
Yeah I'll be looking back wondering why I spent so much on gas fees to trade pump and dump shitcoins on shady exchanges
@@Ginormousbeans Or why you spent 1eth into a worthless shitcoin once 1ETH = 20k
Vitalik has such fascinating thoughts on a wide spectrum of human activity. Thanks for asking great questions :)
@@LOL-hc5fv ok boomer
@spike speigel. Vitalik and Sergey of the crypto space are true living geniuses. Maybe you can count Musk but he is capitalizing from ‘saving humanity’ they are freeing people with computers and fair money
Just DoIt Musk is proxy of deep state. Viltalik’s intention is pure and is working for the sake of saving humanity from enslaved by the Fed printing money n ripping us all
I can't listen to this in the background, this stuff deserves full focus
I feel that I was trying to multitask and kept having to rewind
I love how Lex gets down to the most fundamental questions..doesn't beat around
Russian asset 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Great talk. One of our living geniuses.
Moorish Brooklyn - And Vitalik Buterin.
YOOOO you got Vitalik. I enjoy his Quarky personality.
Great conversation to witness 👏👌☝️💯
Quarky? As in its got a lot of quarks?
Maybe we are all quarky and he is the one that is normal? :-)
I think you mean quirky, but in Vitalik's case, quarky might fit better :)
Spike Speigel jelly? 😏😡😂
You can’t help but like this kid and clearly see he will change the world
He already did!
Thanks Vitalik thank you for making Ethereum!
He probably also made bitcoin same guy if we’ve never seen the person who made bitcoin? Too !mysterious
@@meorme6603 it's absolutely obvious to me anyways. You have bitcoin maximilists not understanding the ecosystem he has created.

Since, I started trading with Mrs. Karis Mathew I made HUGE profits on my investments, her trading strategies are top notch with small commissions on her trades.
I also invest with Mrs Karis, she charges 20% commission on the profit made after each trading session and it is fair compared to the effort she puts in to make huge profits.
Amazing I just started trading with Mrs Karis Mathew she is the best at what she does with initial investment of $2750 I made up to $7890 in just one week of trading with her, her strategies are amazing .
I saw the recommendation before but i didn't bother to talk to her, I really keep losing, I still don't understand how the crypto market works
As a first time investor I started trading with Mrs. Karis Mathew with only a thousand dollars. Within a few weeks of trading with her my portfolio value increased.
Yes it is true, you can only appreciate someone who tries to teach everyone how to invest and make profit in multiple ways.
Buterin is my hero, a “happy nerd” and so humble. I imagine it must be lonely in ways when your mind is literally light years ahead of the rest…. Thank you for your vision, I am forever grateful for your contributions to society.
Lex, I found you on Rogan last year. I used to watch JRE every day, and have since switched to your podcast. I really appreciate the high level, intellectual conversations you have. And as a junior developer myself i love all of your dev podcasts. Keep up the great work
That's great. Have you tried DMT?
Yeah, I used to listen to Joe Rogan every day. Now, maybe once every two months. His guests got boring.
Me too, the greatest podcast
I can't help but like Vitalik. His brain is just thinking about 10 different concepts while letting his mouth keep the listener occupied.
talk talk talk talk, breath... talk talk talk talk
either an alien or computer
Vitalik is such an incredible human! I just want to give this man a HUG 🤗
His unusual body language is contagious it makes me exited about crypto.

1:13:33 I had a revelation last night. Ethereum is the one. The world is underestimating what it will become.

Could you elaborate on that? How do you mean the one? In a positive or negative sence? Grtz :)
@@rolvoveritas In an apocolyptic sense. Ethereum has the most to offer, it evolves, mutates, it's basically a damn eco system, birds live in it. Yeh sure Bitcoin is gold but Ethereum is teenage mutant ninja turtles.

Lex asks great questions to get an interviewee to break down topics in the most comprehensible manor.
Lex. Great interview. Now You need to try and interview Andreas Antonopoulos! He is a great speaker with immense knowledge in the crypto space! He has been interviewed by Joe Rogan many times.
Many times. I have seen only one to be honest, I may be wrong though. The one I watched, Andreas has not been taken seriously by Joe, I felt.
This is such a good interview. Lex is asking some really asking some unique and very profound questions.
What a Humble guy, wish him all the success with the eth project! Thanks Lex!
Absolutely wonderful conversation, feel smarter from just listening
Excellent Podcast from beginning to end with a strong, beautiful finish.
Vitalik is such a genuis. Great interview.
Dawn Hodges wonder if he plays chess ?
WIT RESPECT IF HES SUCH A GENIUS WHY CANT HE SOLVE HIGH GAZ AND SCALING ISSUES
@@michael53572 He is solving it. Ethereum was not ment to scale. Ethereum 2.0 is especially due to the evolution of the technologies. Oracles, sharding, etc .. .
This may be one of the best showings of Vitalik that I've seen to date. He is quite fascinating. I had the joy of sitting behind him at Microsoft Build even though we never met...and to think he was more consequential in his young life than all the other folks in that room. Wild stuff. I do like the quote at the end from Lex. I would like to find a Lex Parser someday.
99% of all calories consumed is used by Vitalik's brain. Just look at the rest of his body; he's basically starving everywhere else. lol.
He is too busy thinking, so he has no time to eat
Gavin Wood was the actual CTO of Ethereum, not Vitalik. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gavin_Wood
You're hilarious! Truly comedic gold!
How dare he not be fat like us in America. Shame on him for being skinny. 🥴
hahahes a genius
One of my favorite definitions of an oft-misunderstood word, "humility," is "One's ability to remain *right sized*". In other words: not too big, haughty, or arrogant; but *also* not too *small*: and not being *too small* involves being cognizant of one's abilities; accurately recognizing them, then using them appropriately.
I love this conversation and realize it’s importance, however I believe I need a beginners course on crypto and then re watch this.
Crypto is you and me sending and receiving money from each other, without Government or bank knowing for the most part.
@@vinodchhabria8738 key word "for the most part" haha
Study macro-economics
correct, don't invest on something you don't understand
Check out for dummies books
We need PART 3!
37:16 Vitalik just illuminated me (blew my mind) to the full understanding of a programers exact view of the blockchain technology, in a nutshell. thank you, great interview
This podcast helps endure the lockdowns and quarantines.
This was an incredible interview. Vitalik is exactly the kind of guy that I am happy to be innovating the future of money.
Digital to fiat to fiat.
I'm still convinced Lex is his own AI project
We are all our own AI project

Amazing interview. I find it remarkable that Vitalik is able to break down complex theories and processes in such a way that us mere mortals are able to understand. Beautiful!

Great interview. Vitalik is such a brilliant mind.
Please can I invest in Bitcoin on my own, I have been practicing on my demo trading account, I don’t want to make any mistake whatsoever.
yes
You can if you have fully understand the Bitcoin market
if you haven’t I will advice you to look for a professional around your vicinity to help you understand the Bitcoin and forex market.
I’m from Belgium I have been an investor in the crypto market for over 3 years now.
Now is the greatest time to purchase and invest in Bitcoin.
Obviously trading in Bitcoin is very volatile and risky to trade that’s the reason most traders trade with a company.
Can we get a part 2...!!! Best show on the webs
I’ve had to rewind and rewatch this so many times to wrap my head around these topics. Thank you
Same here.
Currently doing this myself taking notes
Vitalik actually sleeps inside of the Blockchain database where dreams are always 100% lucid ...
Would love to learn about the "Stable coins" that you mentioned some time ago. Make a video on that if possible.
I totally agree. A Lex Frldman level research stable coins would be really helpful and informative. , Lex Frldman consider this.
Yes pls make a record on this.

@Heath Sims not really, when compared to those at savant status. The fact that he's holding a full conversation means he's at least more towards the social/interpersonal end rather than the autism end. He's a lucky man, in some ways - these sorts of people are the next to rule the world because most of them are just a step or two above everyone else when it comes to thinking about this kind of complicated tech stuff. The only boundary holding some people back from being the figure that Vitalik is, is that they don't possess the ability to deal with interactions and conversation that he also has.
I went to high school with a guy that Vitalik really reminds me of. A bit of an odd child, he didn't talk to people much by choice but he was an absolute wizard with computers. He was the kid that had hacked the school network by the 8th grade and used the breach purely to load game files for CS, Quake and Doom etc so that kids could play these games on any pc on the network and they only needed to know the folder address to type into the Explorer url field. All these teachers were freaking out about this security breach and here's this "big cyber threat" sitting under their noses and playing games when they left the room.
Sadly, im an idiot and never bothered to learn much more about him. I wasnt mean to him, but we weren't friends either so I don't know what he's up to, now, but I wouldn't be surprised if he was incredibly rich...
I hope you were all kind to these kids if there were any at your schools, because they'll be our bosses soon...
Two brilliant, thoughtful, articulate people in conversation. Vitalik is clearly a compassionate being. Thanks to both of you.
