"Facebook's Libra will introduce a billion people to the wrong kind of cryptocurrency just like AOL introduced a billion people to the wrong kind of internet." - Andreas
Best speaker for crypto! I had the pleasure of seeing him speak live in 2014 and was a total genius. He said, at the time, "There is no going back, this $300 $400 a bitcoin in 5 years will either be worth $0 or $5k." If you want to know the future, ,listen to this man.
@@roberto-technology.food.fo5182 I imagine, when it was small, the government could have printed enough money (or just digits) to buy up the supply of Bitcoin and miners and totally buggerize the whole project.
he is not saying anything special, and the fear he has can be applied to bitcoin (yes, bitcoin could be used to support a cashless society where there would be no privacy)
Rothschild warned of a world currency in 1988 . This guy sound like a bitch that trashes Libra but protect bitcoin . They are all the same they all use blockchain and have a leger that is traceable.
Adrian Segura, so? Why did he warn us about it? In 1988, he was profiting off different currencies, almost all controlled by central banks in his pocket. A global currency that he doesn't control is different
@@owenbenjaminshapiro6285 bitcoin and libra can both be used to crush individual liberty and allow cashless society. I see incoherence in his arguments, I really expected more from this "legend"
@@owenbenjaminshapiro6285 Soros is a trader, he will shake markets and countries, but yes if he sees something coming he will take pleasure to let you know what he sees. I shows he knows what's up, and warning people does not mean he will not be in a position to shake that future currency. I am not worried about Soros, I am sure he has plenty of bitcoin
I can't stop watching this dude. He constantly makes me realize that.... I feel like we're all in the middle of this.... real-time, techno-sci-(non)fi thriller, once-in-a-lifetime moment in history ... Keep this guy safe! He needs private security.
first time listening to the legend, and I am disappointed. I learnt nothing, except for the fact that he does not support brexit and Trump...which says a lot about the guy
To speak in front of a geek and finance audience, some of which are crypto hostile, while captivating, entertaining and controlling the audience is impressive.
"Silicon Valley Is Coming For Banking In A Big Way" .. very profound yet absolutely spot on ! Thanks Andreas for what you do ! keep up the great work !!
This may be Andreas' greatest presentation to date. Truly remarkable insight, wisdom, and curiosity regarding fintech and cryptocurrency. From an educational perspective, Andreas serves as my genesis block. Like the blockchain technology he speaks about, Andreas continues to consistently reward us all with enticing blocks of knowledge. Thank you for all you offer to this space.
State and corporations are directly created from the capital. I would therefore try to see what is the interest of the american capital in letting libra doing its shit, maybe swap the dollar that might come to its end at certain point in the world (except USA)? Who knows
@@cvekris8177: The corporations pay $10MM each to become a validator node with an agreement to equally share all the collected human data. Hundreds of corporations are in line. None have ponied up the $$, as I understand it. And won't Libre destroy Facebook? I believe it will.
I always do the same lol :)) I have this imaginary vision, that my one like might somehow contribute to the message he has dedicated his life spreading. Message of a better world with just financial system.
Aww I'm totally gutted as I would have absolutely made the effort to try and catch this at all cost Love this guy he is the real bitcoin Jesus and not the Judas = (Roger Ver)
Antonopoulis never disappoints. His tireless evangelism, humor and vision have been a consistent source of wonder to me for nearly a decade since I first learned of bitcoin and stumbled across his nerdy presentations.
35: 25 mark, he refers to a crypto project specializing and low payment systems who is now changing their principles Outlook in order to fall in line... Does anyone know who he's talking about ? Stellar ? LTC ? Who ?
This guy deserves a bigger stage. The problem is: he might be right. The general "I don't really care attitude" is what makes Andraes cynical. We need to educate, more than anything else.
Agreed. Bitcoin and my knowledge gaining journey since its inception have basically only made me more and more care about financial literacy and education. To the point where I wanna run for politics on a platform based on it and blockchainb
Andreas, get yourself a bodyguard ! 😉 Brilliant speech. Fascinating. As I've written multiple times before : you are THE expert. Andreas for president ! 👍
Wow.... I’m speechless.... you opened up the mind to what’s ahead to come if we make the wrong decisions.... people need to see your video and be vigilant! I agree with all your points..... beautiful speech! Bitcoin is the future of a free society.
Andreas, PLEASE go to the Buffett lunch with Justin Sun. As a long time bitcoin hodler, I'd really appreciate it if you would attend the lunch and impart your knowledge to Warren B. Does it matter the means, to the end that we all want to achieve? PLEEEEASE GO!!!
Wow, this was education on a whole other level! I'm still trying to digest all that was said here. It is incredible how he can take a subject and put you through a roller coaster of emotions, one moment you are excited, happy and filled with hope of a new world, in the next you a horrified by what this new world could become! And come away thinking what the hell did I just listen to! His grasp of so many different subjects is incredible, from tech to finance to history to politics. And the articulation as he goes from one to the other is just pure genius.
Anyone can explain what he's referring to with the "fast payments, no decentralization" bit? I didn't catch the reference there. Thanks Besides that, very compelling as always!
Yes hes talking about the btc fork for bch and then BSV and how Craig is pro compliance and SV is a permission blockchain not permisionless and basically will sell their data to the Gov coz he believes privacy is only for criminals
Secretly, those closest to you want to see you fail. "Are you okay??" Made me laugh so hard...bc I get the same calls/messages. Even those that love you want to see you fail. These "concerned" phone calls are so transparent.
@@owenbenjaminshapiro6285 she was, she was indeed... I told her she's worth so much better, someone who can at least get his male function working FULLY...
Andreas is as captivating a speaker as always. Great talking points to think about, where we have the money of the people (techies, speculators, and hopefully more to follow), money of the state, and money of the corporations. Anyone notice that his accent is a mix of British, American, and.. do I detect a tinge of Scottish? 😂
Something about your mention of SDRs made me think, can Facebook replace, or competition China on global development, would it become another level of East vs West on who will control Africa, or other countries in dire need of money resources to grow?
Hey ANDREAS, starting at 30min, you say that a society should want their financial transactions private because we do not work as a penopticon. Do you think that society will begin to conform and we will end up sharing not just our financial data, but health and behavioral data too? I agree that privacy provides a layer of freedom that allows a social creature like ourselves to express their individuality. I love innovation and using technology in new waves that affect the way we live and interact. Is it possible that the government will actually realize its true role: governance (detached from monetary fiat value coupons)! I would appreciate it if you can make some videos about my questions. Thank you for work.
So in America we got these numbers given to us at birth, for a social program. Could we the people all have our own individual cryptocurrency on a global blockchain? We become our own banks?
are you sure it's not just going to be a way to add in game power-ups without transaction fees? I think the main issue with implementation is people will need a reason to convert to Libra and use it. Why will they be getting in, other than to pay for some silly virtual downloads and stuff. It's not like facebook is a 'real' shopping or services platform. What will be the incentive for other retailers to accept libra?
Well, it seems to have been stopped in it's tracks by the U.S. Congress. Did they not anticipate this major roadblock? How will they pivot from this immediate roadblock? Surely, they have a plan for this eventuality.
Andreas admitted that Facebook is owned by the NSA. So how can the corporate coins be any different from the government coins if corporations are owned by governments?
They're not owned, it is a beautiful collaboration for the enslavement of humanity. Its works for both parties to on paper have the other at an arms length.
@@invanorm Yeah I think that's a fair point I can't obviously prove if it's true. But it makes sense for the money makers and the law makers to work in unity.
"We now have a three-point stand-off... money of the corporations, money of the people and money of government." - Andreas Also, such good advice to the bankers 2014, to hire an ex- music industry executive!
No because like bitcoin they are borderless and further they aren't a liability of a third party. So while the world is heading towards cashless, there will still be parts of the planet, although not many were gold and silver will be used. Also as the current system implodes, Governments in a desperate attempt to maintain power and keep the system alive will resort to repricing gold much higher to back all fiat. Perhaps it will be too late, but people are gullible!
Great talk. This cheered me up after watching the Senate hearing with David Marcus. If Facebook gets regulatory approvals from the US government for it's Libra coin then won't there be impetus to impose bans on the use of cryptocurrencies that don't have these approvals?
@digicoiner d It seems that it would go that way, but since this is such a threat to the establishment bankers, I doubt they will get regulatory approval. Unless it is severely regulated/restricted, or unless they pay off the government...
dewd you are the best. So many of out lives are better because your in it. thank you. Im so glad I got to meet and talk to you once at coins of the kingdom years ago.
"All your financial data belong to us" - On that comment: What are your thoughts on the fact that KYC (know your customer) identification apps already exist (E.g. Flinks) for the purpose of helping the banking industry track your financial history?

as always...thought provoking, accurate, entertaining, educational, consistent and chock full of humility.
Perhaps in the future we will know Who Satoshi is, but for me at this moment Andrea is the best Satoshi we can have. Thank you a lot for your vision.
Andreas, clearly one of the best speaker of all time. Just incredible!
The only speaker whose presentation would be damaged by visuals. Ok...Vitalik Buterin, also.
This video should have at least 2 million views. Someone famous should promote it.
"Silicon Valley Is Coming For Banking In A Big Way" .. very profound yet absolutely spot on ! Thanks Andreas for what you do ! keep up the great work !!
It was a huge privilege to be in the audience for this talk, and just as powerful revisiting it six months on.
This is definitely one of the better talks from Andreas.
Thanks @aantonop every time I listen to your presentations I learn more. Glad you gave Edinburgh Scotland a visit :)
Awesome -- should be required listening in every high school class!
Excelente charla, como siempre. Con un mensaje que todos deberían escuchar cuanto antes...

Thank you, for standing out.
A powerful talk, made the more intetesting by it being given the same day of Libra's white paper drop. ✌💛
Thank you for another great talk, Andreas
Liked the video before I even watched it... Andreas is just the Bitcoin go to guy!

I may have liked it as well, until his pathetic 'orange man' comment. Getting old mate!
This lecture was useless imo

They might wait and see, probably joining later.
@@sciencechatco If Libra is successful they'll be forced to join :-)
If there's any man I admire more than Roger Federer, it's this guy. Hats off Andreas. Hats off.
Good sir, You spelt VER wrong
@@nauh-jaykim1835 I don't understand. Where in my sentence does "VER" come up?
Libra doesn't even send a shiver through my spine for basically the reasons AA said in this presentation.
Andreas explains like noone else can. Learn more than anybody in less than 1 hour what most people will ever understand about Facebook's Libra Project
"Libre Not Libra" is a good heading lead in as he who understands and recognizes the problem domain best wins the end game.
First you listen to a talk from Andreas; then you spend all your time learning to code.
Glad you ruined my social life, I feel much better now !
It's Crystal Clear now, Andreas went all in on Menero
Monero is the best. Although I could not to go all in on Monero, I absolutely love it, it's a crypto for better future for the mankind.
Truth is simple and powerful

What do you think of DOGE coin thanks
It was invented as a joke, it will disappear when people take cryptos seriously.
So what’s the solution ?
Any thoughts about solutions Andreas
Use bitcoin instead of corporate coins. Problem solved.
"Privacy Currencies" ?!?
He mentions these - Can you guys list some examples please?
Great to see Andreas as brilliant as ever.
This man is brilliant. Banks, you had 10 years!

27:44 @aantonop hahaha...real question: will you please consider a standup comedy show? I'm sure community will like it
as a stand up comedies consumer in recent times, I thought the same along this talk; that could be another succesful facet of Andreas haha
AA didn't explain how Facebook can control governments through Libra?
I noticed that FB are already advertising roles in Europe for blockchain public policy directors !
Well, it seems to have been stopped in it's tracks by the U.S. Congress. Did they not anticipate this major roadblock? How will they pivot from this immediate roadblock? Surely, they have a plan for this eventuality.

there will never be an argument that starts with "i do not want to own bitcoin, because..." thats going to make any sense ever.
When we watch this man’s talk we should take pen and paper write down points and think about it
Does this mean that Gold/Silver also suddenly are about to become obsolete, lowgraded assets?
No because like bitcoin they are borderless and further they aren't a liability of a third party. So while the world is heading towards cashless, there will still be parts of the planet, although not many were gold and silver will be used.
