What a gem, 6 years later I'm amazed of the clarity and conviction behind his reasoning. I guess future wise this will become even more evident. Thanks for sharing.
Great Wences, fantastic explaination, good also for people like me that already know a bit (and hold) btc and\or other cryptos. it's not surprising that BTC attracted your attention being an Argentinian (lived personally there 8 yrs) with all the crazy past of Argentinian banks and government economic scams & "failures" lol
@Graham Perich i stumbled upon your comment now and i want to thank you for the recommendation. very nice interview (the podcast). i discovered that Wences has my age and when he talked about Argentina he brought me back in time.I had left the country in 2010 and i was subject to currency control even before when , as a foreigner, i could even do less than an argentinian (money transfer wise) even being a resident. in 2011 the situation got worse and currency exchange was simply banned. when i was there i was lucky because there was a limit but i could send money abroad.i also witnessed the fall of the banks in 2001 when argentinians (not me, a tourist back then) got all their accounts frozen. it was mayhem, supermarkets getting looted and express kidnapping (200 $ ransom) was the norm.
Great presentation. Why on 'quality of sound money' slide, gold is shown as superior to bitcoin on fungibility? A bitcoin is a bitcoin - no difference.
Thanks for the good explanation. Perhaps in the issue of transparency will be addressed at additional transactional layers over Bitcoin by applying CoinJoin-based mixing and similar methods. Here is a more recent talk by Wences Casares, I would recommend, on How Bitcoin Makes a Fairer World: itunes.apple.com/au/podcast/unchained-big-ideas-from-worlds-blockchain-cryptocurrency/id1123922160?mt=2&i=1000401579085

8 years ago....amazing

Great video! Wish i had found it 8 years ago 😂
oldie but goody. Now we're got El Salvador gearing up in September. Who would have imagine? probably this guy.
6 years later roughly 150MM ppl use the Bitcoin network and on-boarding hundreds of thousands a day. Nice presentation

Not everyone to buy bitcoin, but much more people want to buy gold. If I want to liquidate some gold, it will be easier than liquidating bitcoin.
If you buy or sell please we are here for you.
This video is before 2017, Bitcoin (BTC) lost those properties, now they are still in (BCH)
4:31 me picturing bankers (and central bankers) picking tree leaves.
2:16 Todo muy bien, pero no es un bufalo sino un bisonte
Bitcoin would have been great it if weren't for all the alt coins
Anthony Abelardo have faith, wait a couple years at it'll be back
I heard dApps prefer cryptocurrency
Anthony Abelardo like Bitcoin?
5 years later this has aged rather poorly
