Aged amazingly. Even the bit about not being able to come up with a dumber name than “Deep Onion” led to the bit over the name “Monkey Jizz”. This is truly one of the timelines.
So, as I said to others in this comment section, "Deep onion" seems like a dumb name only for people that don't know enough about the web. Nearly all deep web sites needs Tor browser to access. The logo of tor Browser is an onion, for it's a reference to the deeper layers of the internet you get access to thanks to it. One of the major use of crypto-currencies is to buy things on the deep web, using tor. So "deep onion" is nothing more than a very logical name. I'll give you that Monkey Jizz is a dumbfuckery that has no fucking reason to exist.
My wife and I were in London staying in an AirBnB a few years ago now. Hosts invited us to have some wine with them before we went out for dinner, so we did. They started telling us about this cryptocurrency they'd both quit their jobs to start doing full time and how "it was going to change the world". We sat with them, asked some questions and then had to leave for our dinner reservation. As soon as we were in the lift, I turned to my wife and said "Bitconneeeeeeeeeeeeeect!" and we both pissed ourselves laughing. These two sounded exactly as daft and ludicrous as that guy did
Did it today because I needed some papers for an office. Had no idea what I was lining up for, but I didn't want to be late to my next task so I stepped in line ... I needed to be in that line it turns out, but had no reason why until later. FOMO is a strong force. I've done it when I'm aware but like... Sometimes it happens
what are you talking about? It did not age well at all. I had 18 bitcoin that I bought in 2017 for about 600$. I remember being up over 100% when this video aired and I sold them all for over 50k couple of years ago. I prettying much made 800k after paying taxes on a 10k investment and bought a house that I am renting out.
@@bonbonjovi4836 if you haven’t been paying attention the crypto market took a massive nose dive I’ve the past few months because their value is based on nothing. It was hysterical to watch all of the people that drove the price of things like GPU’s and processors through the roof loose loads of money when the market crash and to watch the flail away trying to convince people to continue buying in to drive the price back up.
Ah Dan. I'm curious why they hate him so much. I guess he's just that much of a dick. The way John says, "I hate your belt more than anything in that photo" cracks me up and feels, ... genuine. I wonder if he still works there?
@@joseph-zoramcbride4029 I have this headcanon that Dan served Beef Gurewitch to the staff, causing them to hate him. It wasn't the main reason, but their breaking point imo
Tacet the Terror I think it’s great that he’s talking about being careful and responsible with your money, don’t buy into anything you don’t understand. Having said that people should really take the time to understand the technology. He made some good points but also some misinformed ones. Bitcoin is kind of like the dot com bubble, where people got in without understanding why the technology is so revolutionary, and caused a massive surge and and equally massive collapse. But look at the biggest companies in the world now, and where you would be had you held on to some of those companies stocks. You know, small companies like Google, Amazon, or Facebook. I think blockchain technology (the ones that are free and open) will do for finance and trade what the internet did for information, but you gotta do the research for yourselves before you invest in anything.
@Peng Bian: of those three companies you mention only Amazon actually had public stock during the dot com bubble. Google had its IPO 2004 and facebook in 2012. But yeah it will be a new technology we will use, but invest in companies/coins that have a real and achievable goal and don't invest more than you can afford to lose.
When John Oliver said that almost anyone could create a cryptocurrency, I was dead sure that by the end of the episode, he would introduce a cryptocurrency that they created, just like he did with televanlegism.
That would probably go against the message of this video, which is "be careful and don't mindlessly throw your money into cryptocurrency..." because then a bunch of John's fans would very likely mindlessly throw their money into John's crytocurrency.
nah, he got it right the first time, he was positive about BTC in a funny way... its even worse now, look at all the meme coins, its 99% retards buying this shit. degen gamblers.
What this guy said, but slightly more polite. It was, and still is an interesting technology, but to proclaim it as the "money of the future" at such an early time was overhyped and has led to exactly what the Bitconnect guy was demonstrating. Now you have people dropping six figures on cheap repetitive graphics on the premise that it's "unique", despite the longstanding invention called Ctrl-C.
There's really know need to. Crypto is here to stay. Tons of shit coins, just like there are tons of shit businesses. The best will rise to the top. Some will win, most will lose. Best of luck. Do your own research. Don't invest more than you can afford to loose. FNA
Investing in crypto is just gambling. There is no reason to think it will be the currency of the future. I'm just surprised there are not more pump and dumps. Just look at the squid coin. Long term it seems crypto is not a good investment.
For a second I thought they actually got the bit connect guy to come on and talk about how ppl should use caution, all because his voice sounded so sad when he went "hey hey heeeeyyyyy" from behind the stage.
One thing I've noticed about John Oliver, basically every one of his episodes that aren't about a specific event (and even sometimes then), they stay relevant for YEARS. Sometimes when I'm listening I have to go down to the description and see when it came out because it's way more relevant than it should be.
I still remember going to work with that one dude who went on and on about bitcoin. One time I had enough and just clapped back: "yes yes, you got lucky but let's not forget a whole lot of other people who's in financial ruins over crytocurrency. Now shut the f up and let me work." He kinda stoped talking to me altogether after that 😬

DogeCoin being taken seriously, Scamcoin getting $70 million in an hour, NFT’s. Yeah, it’s time for a part 2 of this topic Johnny O needs to cover again.
everyone in the crowd laughs while working 9-5 jobs and our 5k investments 4 years ago are already worth over a million. our lives are completely changed and they still laugh.
@@flowmastaflam Cool, still not sustainable when the main source of value is other people buying in to a product that essentially doesn't exist. 5 years from now your multimillionaire investment could get worth pennies.
Inventing a new currency that would probably draw a TON of interest is an entirely different level from inventing a fake church or SuperPAC. It would actually be a thing, and people would want to use it, and all of a sudden Oliver and Co. is stuck managing a cryptocurrency until the end of time.
If it bottoms around 19k that's a hell of a lot higher than the last time it dropped a few years ago. Next Rally will probably break 100k, John might be a year or 5
I'm surprised he didn't mention how taxing Bitcoin is on our ecosystem. It needs so much electricity that it's getting exponentially worse for our environment. Thanks for sharing this amazing information.
@@nedcurfman3486 bitcoin by design is energy wasting to use, particularly mining uses so much electricity and computing power it’s horrible for the environment
@@jessefehr7249 That's a misleading comparison. You should be comparing Bitcoin processing to a similar transaction processor like Visa since that's what it is trying to replace. And it's a well-documented fact that each Bitcoin transaction consumes roughly 1.5 million times more energy than a traditional Visa transaction and that ratio will only get worse as the blockchain grows. Ever wondered why no one has ever implemented distributed linked lists to record data?? Because it is quite literally the most inefficient way of storing data. Bitcoiner's don't care that they are burning the world so long as they make a few bucks off it.
Moot Juh me too - like when they made the Make Donald Drumph Again..... And they sold like over 25,000 - and sold them "at cost" so made no profit. At least this time they could've planned ahead more and give any profits to charity.

What is absolutely hilarious, is that on Johns orders I googled Brock Pierce Scandal, the entire first page is about how Brock got kicked off EOS as a result of this video. Love you John
I really feel that he should do a follow up on this one. Especially with the hype of crypto in the past few years and subsequent collapse within the past few months edit: my wish was granted
I was NOT expecting Dan Gurewitch to show up in a "stock" photo. I'm glad to know he's got a good gig, the college humor sketches were pretty hilarious!
No its shit. People invest their nest egg and people usually aren't willing to lose that. You shouldn't gamble more than you are willing to lose. On things like crypto and individual stocks.
Seriously, if you treat it like a bet on the big sports final, or a bet with your colleague over who will win the Oscar for Best Director, i.e. as a game to spend money on and have fun, rather than an investment, then you'll probably be fine. Of course some people also get addicted to gambling and spend more than they can afford to lose, but that's a bigger issue.
This segment aged well. Blockchain currency is supposed to be a replacement for the fiat currencies. But, people use it as a gambling tool on stock markets.
Same, but then that would probably go against the message of this video, which is "be careful and don't mindlessly throw your money into cryptocurrency..." because then a bunch of John's fans would very likely mindlessly throw their money into John's crytocurrency.
He could have made a billion dollars doing it. No, I'm not kidding. People watch his show by the millions. A good portion of the fans would buy that coin out of solidarity and just because. Worst case scenario is that he only manages to raise 1500000USD, and the LastWeekCoin's value languishes after that.
He could have but you don't "make" money, you take it from other investors. This money doesn't come from nowhere it comes from other people. He could have gained billions, but it would have been at the expense of his audience and that's religions game, not his. He has morals
maybe the proceeds could have gone to charity or something. so it's not like HBO are just ripping off their audience, but they still get to do their stunt.
Ombro, that's basically what he died with Our Lady of Perpetual Exemption. Legally he could have kept all that money and the IRS wouldn't have complained, instead he chose to donate it to charity. Imagine how much charity could do with a billion dollars made from Lastweekcoin.
@JakeAndBake seriously. when it does crash, or at the very least fall enough that GPU mining stops being profitable, the flood of used high end enthusiast cards will be insane. I just don't know if I'd trust a card that has been run 24/7 at 100% load for such a long time, even if it's only $200-$300 for a 1080/Ti
Definitely needs a follow-up - preferably one that includes shilling crypto influencers on TH-cam and how they're going to end up in prison if they continue this way.
They will not end up in prison b/c authorities are giving crypto holders what they want - currency with no intervention. They sit back and laugh their butts off when people lose $$. They are not going to give up a tool in their economic arsenal - national currency. If they protected investors, they would legitimize crypto. You are on your own - like you wanted. Good luck.
@@Galworld761 There is a lot of noise being made about the bad actors in this space. In my opinion it's a matter of time before they set a precedent and someone ends up in jail. People do want some degree of regulation in the space and it will come as the assets class matures.
People really missed the point of this video. He literally says that blockchain has potential but that is also can be abused. That’s clear and is not anti technology or a statement disparaging the technology, it’s just a warning to make intelligent investment decisions and to make sure you aren’t taken advantage of.
Blockchain is the technology, crypto currency is a currency and doesn't have anything to do with the technology other than being traded in it. Blockchain is good and revolutionizing, crypto is fairytail-money that has value because a lot of people like fairytails. Tokens have expected value, coins have limited real value, the technology is seperate from those two and has real application.
@@MartinSlow Money is fairy tail money. Once, it was backed by something, its weight in gold. Now the only value placed in our paper bills is because we place it there. This is why economies collapse when too much money is printed (example Germany post WWI) and also why the value of a country's money fluctuates so much compared to other companies.
Funny when he brought up how blockchains were impossible to hack..... that is before the ancient primordial art of tricking someone into giving you their login credentials returned from the depths
but EOS is still worth over 3 billion, and you can actually use it. there is not too many dapps, and better alternatives are already out there, but the idea proved successful. the real kicker will be when TON gets released later this year, or so I hope
Yeah that scene when they flashedback to when he was a boy hodling the gang for his master until the only word he could say was “hodlgang” so sad. Broke my heart
Dan's one of the lead writers for LWT, the only other writer that has worked on more episodes than him is Oliver himself. He's funny as hell, he's been doing very well since College Humor!
Yeah, I mean while I certainly wouldn't characterize it as either inaccurate or irresponsible... The tenor of the coverage at least in the early half of the piece was definitely more flattering than the technology deserved

Even wall street fellows don't under the stock market! Its highly speculative and those assholes randomely trade money. Ask any stock fellow what derivatives mean. No one will answer as they do not know. Behind the stock market technicalities, the people who work are the Mathematicians/Physicists(PhD). Have you read the book 'The Big Short: Inside the Doomsday Machine' by Michael Lewis or the movie. Book is zillion times better than the movie. The four guys who bet against the financial market(stock market) clearly disprove your point.
The level of risk on the regulated mass global finance markets is tremendous too actually, that is the whole reason smart young people are avoiding their government's untrusted crap FIAT, Equities like Amazon with P/E ratios over 500 at times(even macys was like 25), and we get 0 interest at the banks who charge 5% to us to borrow the money that they get for free even when its something like student debt that borrowers arent even allowed to go bankrupt from, and even real estate prices are built on low interest rates and suckers from our parents generation who kinda dont have a choice but to keep milking their property for cash.... Most people who are under 35 have close to 0 confidence in our financial system and that it will ever work for them so we are just waiting for the current US economy to die so we have a shot at buying a house and having a family like the generations ahead of us did. Its true that in the last few months there has been a huge amount of dumb money coming into the game but truth be told from someone who worked in IT venture capital, international big 4 consulting, and runs millions in active businesses.. Crypto and specifically the smart contract scene in crypto will unleash the small and micro cap companies to global finance and create a new version of money FAR better than just bitcoin.
The best part of this was the people in the background of that Bitconnect event. They were trying to smile, but you could see the embarassment in their eyes.
I got the strongest sense of deja vu when he said that, especially after the first time, when he said, "They pump and they dump." and just stopped and smiled. Why? (I'm DST-lagged, so I'm having trouble with questions like this). Where do I know that from? ...OH! Mozart in the Jungle! That was it... the intonation and the grin are identical to Maestro's when he goes off on something. :)
Deividas: Sorry. :) It truly was an issue of me not being able to put my finger on what was giving me such a strong sense of deja vu, and I figured it out as I was typing. Do you really think it was a deliberate impression? (I'm guessing that's what you're saying?) "Mozart in the Jungle" is hardly "Game of Thrones," in terms of wide audience... is it?
Well he posted this when btc was about ten thousand. So he obviously wasn't going to post a follow-up when it was near 70k. Maybe now that it's only doubled in value since he posted this, he may consider without looking too wrong.

Actually Earthly Earthly, your private key is your pass-phrase (typically a series of randomly selected words), not your password. You can use your pass-phrase to recover access to your cryptocurrency on a specific blockchain if you lose or forget your wallet password for that currency. You should never store your pass-phrase in electronic form on your computer because once someone else has it, they can take your crypto. Always keep a hard-copy (printed or written on paper) with your important documents in a secure fire-safe (or safety deposit box).
I treated crypto like long term lottery tickets. Instead of buying a scratch off ticket, I bought some crypto, think I spent $60 or so. Year and a half later, I’m still scratching a couple “crypto tickets”. 🤷🏽♂️
I think the reason he brought up Dogecoin was because they *wanted* to make up their own crypto and then realized someone already beat them to it and it did everything they expected
Jacob Jensen probably because they didn’t want to feed into the hype. If they did it, it would be very similar to dogecoin which already exist and they addressed.
Had a friend try and talk me into it over 2 years ago. I told him I just unsure about something that has nothing to support it and has no legal standing yet. He invested 2k in one. Last week his 2k investment was now worth almost 200 dollars.
What did he invest in? Bitcoin is still worth more than it was in 2020. So are the second and third biggest cryptocurrencies. So is dogecoin for that matter. I would guess for that kind of loss he put a large chunk of money in one relatively new crypto, which then crashed. That's not a good investing strategy for *any* asset.
k and i invested 2k and im up 60k. i have friends that invested in the stock market a few years ago and lost upwards to 50%. doesnt really mean anything my guy

Ah Dan. I'm curious why they hate him so much. I guess he's just that much of a dick. The way John says, "I hate your belt more than anything in that photo" cracks me up and feels, ... genuine. I wonder if he still works there?
@@joseph-zoramcbride4029 I have this headcanon that Dan served Beef Gurewitch to the staff, causing them to hate him.
It wasn't the main reason, but their breaking point imo
NFSF1McLaren this is the response I was looking for. I no longer need to read this comment section.
I am disappointed , as John Oliver didn't start his own cryptocurrency :(
Zack Smith I think he meant “Yeah, like when he made his own religion,” not “yeah he should have made his own religion”
Ahah yes
You must feel so smart for knowing that.
OMG can we have a rat faced crypto?
It's because he's for once positive about a subject.
Because blockchain will solve shit.
I completely lost it when he yelled out responsibility with that much enthusiasm. xD
Tacet the Terror I think it’s great that he’s talking about being careful and responsible with your money, don’t buy into anything you don’t understand.
Having said that people should really take the time to understand the technology. He made some good points but also some misinformed ones. Bitcoin is kind of like the dot com bubble, where people got in without understanding why the technology is so revolutionary, and caused a massive surge and and equally massive collapse. But look at the biggest companies in the world now, and where you would be had you held on to some of those companies stocks. You know, small companies like Google, Amazon, or Facebook.
I think blockchain technology (the ones that are free and open) will do for finance and trade what the internet did for information, but you gotta do the research for yourselves before you invest in anything.
Tacet the Terror My catholic girlfriend used to do that when she made me put it in her ass.
Peng Bian Eh... I might not be as optimistic as you but I still agree that people should be responsible and think before they invest.
@Peng Bian: of those three companies you mention only Amazon actually had public stock during the dot com bubble. Google had its IPO 2004 and facebook in 2012.
But yeah it will be a new technology we will use, but invest in companies/coins that have a real and achievable goal and don't invest more than you can afford to lose.
same here, I'm still laughing :-)
When John Oliver said that almost anyone could create a cryptocurrency, I was dead sure that by the end of the episode, he would introduce a cryptocurrency that they created, just like he did with televanlegism.
They have learned that that was a bad idea.
Dude he's trying to become prime minister of Italy.... he can only do so much at one time lol
I'm sure they asked Dan to make one, but he read the script to this episode first.
That would probably go against the message of this video, which is "be careful and don't mindlessly throw your money into cryptocurrency..." because then a bunch of John's fans would very likely mindlessly throw their money into John's crytocurrency.
YourMomz07 The italian elections are over ;)
Do another episode on Crypto now. Would be a good follow-up
nah, he got it right the first time, he was positive about BTC in a funny way... its even worse now, look at all the meme coins, its 99% retards buying this shit. degen gamblers.
What this guy said, but slightly more polite. It was, and still is an interesting technology, but to proclaim it as the "money of the future" at such an early time was overhyped and has led to exactly what the Bitconnect guy was demonstrating.
Now you have people dropping six figures on cheap repetitive graphics on the premise that it's "unique", despite the longstanding invention called Ctrl-C.
There's really know need to. Crypto is here to stay. Tons of shit coins, just like there are tons of shit businesses. The best will rise to the top. Some will win, most will lose.
Best of luck.
Do your own research.
Don't invest more than you can afford to loose.

Investing in crypto is just gambling. There is no reason to think it will be the currency of the future. I'm just surprised there are not more pump and dumps. Just look at the squid coin. Long term it seems crypto is not a good investment.
@@chaydonofallon1352 anyone who invested into squid coin is an idiot just like you whos saying its not long term😂
For a second I thought they actually got the bit connect guy to come on and talk about how ppl should use caution, all because his voice sounded so sad when he went "hey hey heeeeyyyyy" from behind the stage.
mikerms12 I was so hype when I heard the heeeeeeey
...and then I saw who it was and, although I was still excited, I was a little disappointed lol
Who is he?
.....since you are already on youtube, type in to the search bar "Key and Peele". You are welcome.
mikerms12 me too lol
Tyler Miller I think they know who Keegan Michael Key is. They just thought at first glance it was the actual guy he was parodying.
This aired 4 years ago and it never gets old. still true to the end of 2022
One thing I've noticed about John Oliver, basically every one of his episodes that aren't about a specific event (and even sometimes then), they stay relevant for YEARS. Sometimes when I'm listening I have to go down to the description and see when it came out because it's way more relevant than it should be.
I still remember going to work with that one dude who went on and on about bitcoin. One time I had enough and just clapped back: "yes yes, you got lucky but let's not forget a whole lot of other people who's in financial ruins over crytocurrency. Now shut the f up and let me work." He kinda stoped talking to me altogether after that 😬

God it's so strange watching these old episodes with laughter now. I'm so used to his new format.
It's true, but i kinda want the old format back
All they did was turn off their laugh track
It’s pretty cringe to use audience laughter to make home viewers more likely to laugh-especially when it’s politically driven content.
I know they’re gonna bring it back but I really hope they don’t
I love seeing this comment on every one off these old videos. Gets me everybody🙄
Like watching an old episode of Seinfeld or something.
There should be a sequel to this video..
DogeCoin being taken seriously, Scamcoin getting $70 million in an hour, NFT’s. Yeah, it’s time for a part 2 of this topic Johnny O needs to cover again.

MythicTyrant dude what arent you i just saw snl comment for eric and trump jr
I half expected John Oliver to start his own crypto currency when he said that anyone can make their own crypto currency!
Olivercoin would be a hit
He'd probably report all the profits and donate them to charity like Colbert did with his SuperPAC
came to comments exactly to write this! :D
Inventing a new currency that would probably draw a TON of interest is an entirely different level from inventing a fake church or SuperPAC. It would actually be a thing, and people would want to use it, and all of a sudden Oliver and Co. is stuck managing a cryptocurrency until the end of time.
the daily show did and it was hilarious
Love to watch this as crypto is failing and some of the fraud is finally being investigated
I would not say crypto is failing at all.
@@louisporcellini3756 No, it's blooming.
If it bottoms around 19k that's a hell of a lot higher than the last time it dropped a few years ago. Next Rally will probably break 100k, John might be a year or 5
It’s basically going to be fine as long as people are stupid enough to put money into something that isn’t real. So it’s going to be fine, forever.
Yeah yeah it's failing and global warming isn't real correct?
Dan was the best part of Collegehumor back in the day, good to see he isn't sleeping on the street
Man, I knew he looked familiar. Damn I miss Collegehumor.

I… what?
@@nedcurfman3486 bitcoin by design is energy wasting to use, particularly mining uses so much electricity and computing power it’s horrible for the environment
@@jessefehr7249 Oh? The entire internet uses more energy than one particular part of the internet? That's amazing.
@@jessefehr7249 That's a misleading comparison. You should be comparing Bitcoin processing to a similar transaction processor like Visa since that's what it is trying to replace. And it's a well-documented fact that each Bitcoin transaction consumes roughly 1.5 million times more energy than a traditional Visa transaction and that ratio will only get worse as the blockchain grows. Ever wondered why no one has ever implemented distributed linked lists to record data?? Because it is quite literally the most inefficient way of storing data. Bitcoiner's don't care that they are burning the world so long as they make a few bucks off it.
@@jessefehr7249 key difference being that the internet and corporate servers are useful.
Keegan Michael Key is the literal Everyman. He’s played basically all ethnicities, all accents, and even often times women and children.

I honestly expected John to start his own Cryptocurrency named Olivercoin or something.
Moot Juh me too - like when they made the Make Donald Drumph Again..... And they sold like over 25,000 - and sold them "at cost" so made no profit. At least this time they could've planned ahead more and give any profits to charity.
I feel if he did that, the coin would grow a lot of money and lose the point it was trying to make, like Dogecoin.
Moot Juh how bout ratface coin?
I would pump and dump Olivercoin any day ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Coin Oliver or John Coiniver
Oh man. Missed opportunity. The dog Beatles cover band should have been the Beagles. We can move on but I've lost a little faith in the writing staff. :p
They wouldn't do that because there is a real band called The Beagles.
That would’ve been the obvious joke.
Even aside from the whole "Beagles are an actual name for a rock band" thing, it could have also been a way to emphasize how lazy the idea is
Miles Zimmer-Benz has it exactly right. The point of the joke is that it’s dumb and lazy.
Missed opportunity with the Monkees, because they were pretty much exactly what he was describing, except also somehow real.

What is absolutely hilarious, is that on Johns orders I googled Brock Pierce Scandal, the entire first page is about how Brock got kicked off EOS as a result of this video. Love you John
I'm gonna assume that they didn't know about that scandal until after this video went up.
He didn't get kicked off, he voluntarily resigned.
lol
Or possibly good chance for him to stay.. EOS prices crazy if you check its price changes since release... citicoins.com/eos
ye but EOS is a garbage crypto lol, lots of mo0ney beeing invested but that doesnt change the fact that they lack purpose and direction ^^
I really feel that he should do a follow up on this one. Especially with the hype of crypto in the past few years and subsequent collapse within the past few months

He did. Just watched it.
I was NOT expecting Dan Gurewitch to show up in a "stock" photo. I'm glad to know he's got a good gig, the college humor sketches were pretty hilarious!

John Oliver had a missed opportunity to start his own cryptocurrency
He could have made a billion dollars doing it.
No, I'm not kidding. People watch his show by the millions. A good portion of the fans would buy that coin out of solidarity and just because. Worst case scenario is that he only manages to raise 1500000USD, and the LastWeekCoin's value languishes after that.
Craeful Coin, the responsible crypto.
He could have but you don't "make" money, you take it from other investors. This money doesn't come from nowhere it comes from other people.
He could have gained billions, but it would have been at the expense of his audience and that's religions game, not his. He has morals
maybe the proceeds could have gone to charity or something. so it's not like HBO are just ripping off their audience, but they still get to do their stunt.
Ombro, that's basically what he died with Our Lady of Perpetual Exemption. Legally he could have kept all that money and the IRS wouldn't have complained, instead he chose to donate it to charity. Imagine how much charity could do with a billion dollars made from Lastweekcoin.

People really missed the point of this video. He literally says that blockchain has potential but that is also can be abused. That’s clear and is not anti technology or a statement disparaging the technology, it’s just a warning to make intelligent investment decisions and to make sure you aren’t taken advantage of.
What makes you think people missed the point of the video?
Blockchain is the technology, crypto currency is a currency and doesn't have anything to do with the technology other than being traded in it. Blockchain is good and revolutionizing, crypto is fairytail-money that has value because a lot of people like fairytails. Tokens have expected value, coins have limited real value, the technology is seperate from those two and has real application.
Cryptocoins is a digital asset, not currency. To be a currency it has to be widely acceptable as a legal tender, which cryptocoins are not.
Who missed the point?
@@MartinSlow Money is fairy tail money. Once, it was backed by something, its weight in gold. Now the only value placed in our paper bills is because we place it there. This is why economies collapse when too much money is printed (example Germany post WWI) and also why the value of a country's money fluctuates so much compared to other companies.
Funny when he brought up how blockchains were impossible to hack..... that is before the ancient primordial art of tricking someone into giving you their login credentials returned from the depths

it's called a cycle. it will happen again and again. right now we're in the middle of another bull run making our millions
@@flowmastaflam middle? you were at the tail end of it. hope you took profit.
@@JewTube001 you implying it’s done? No recovery over the coming weeks? Also, always take a percentage of profit duh.
@@flowmastaflam yes the cycle is over. this is what cycles are. they cycle. just not within the weekly time frame you were hoping for. the down cycle can last as long or longer than your wished for bull run.
@@JewTube001 we are actually halfway thru the cycle, check the stock to flow and rainbow charts, its history repeating again
Watching this now while the whole internet is trying to make Dogecoin go to $1 is weird
Eat a Peach!
@@newton2013 It's not increasing 1 cent a day, don't follow the hype. DOGE will slowly crawl up to 1$ with a bumpy road ahead.
Don´t let your memes be dreams!
@@newton2013 what smoke are you on?
If it Dogecoin can do what Bitcoin did, now is the time to sell! sell! sell!. Let Dogecoin get back down to less than one cent and we can all buy massive amounts and be millionaires within 4 to 22 months.
good work guys. its nearly impossible to explain these risks to people who hardly understand even the stock market, you guys did a good job.
Even wall street fellows don't under the stock market! Its highly speculative and those assholes randomely trade money. Ask any stock fellow what derivatives mean. No one will answer as they do not know. Behind the stock market technicalities, the people who work are the Mathematicians/Physicists(PhD). Have you read the book 'The Big Short: Inside the Doomsday Machine' by Michael Lewis or the movie. Book is zillion times better than the movie. The four guys who bet against the financial market(stock market) clearly disprove your point.
True that. Tho I thought about risking it a year ago but did not have the money to loose. Damn it.
The level of risk on the regulated mass global finance markets is tremendous too actually, that is the whole reason smart young people are avoiding their government's untrusted crap FIAT, Equities like Amazon with P/E ratios over 500 at times(even macys was like 25), and we get 0 interest at the banks who charge 5% to us to borrow the money that they get for free even when its something like student debt that borrowers arent even allowed to go bankrupt from, and even real estate prices are built on low interest rates and suckers from our parents generation who kinda dont have a choice but to keep milking their property for cash.... Most people who are under 35 have close to 0 confidence in our financial system and that it will ever work for them so we are just waiting for the current US economy to die so we have a shot at buying a house and having a family like the generations ahead of us did.
Its true that in the last few months there has been a huge amount of dumb money coming into the game but truth be told from someone who worked in IT venture capital, international big 4 consulting, and runs millions in active businesses.. Crypto and specifically the smart contract scene in crypto will unleash the small and micro cap companies to global finance and create a new version of money FAR better than just bitcoin.
In 2018, a month after this episode aired, EOS peaked at 18.76. By December it was down to 1.83. At the end of 2022 it is "worth" 0.88.
The best part of this was the people in the background of that Bitconnect event. They were trying to smile, but you could see the embarassment in their eyes.

I got the strongest sense of deja vu when he said that, especially after the first time, when he said, "They pump and they dump." and just stopped and smiled. Why? (I'm DST-lagged, so I'm having trouble with questions like this). Where do I know that from?

Most explicit explanation of joke telling i have ever read! Well done.
Deividas: Sorry. :) It truly was an issue of me not being able to put my finger on what was giving me such a strong sense of deja vu, and I figured it out as I was typing.
Do you really think it was a deliberate impression? (I'm guessing that's what you're saying?) "Mozart in the Jungle" is hardly "Game of Thrones," in terms of wide audience... is it?

Well he posted this when btc was about ten thousand. So he obviously wasn't going to post a follow-up when it was near 70k. Maybe now that it's only doubled in value since he posted this, he may consider without looking too wrong.

Very nice and educative video i must say . From a technical point of view of crytocurrencybuffering , the RSI looks promising in favor of the bulls, as the daily RSI is at the bullish territory above 50 (after reversing earlier today). At the same time, the Stochastic RSI oscillator is about to make a bullish crossover at the oversold area. In case this happens, it might assist the market in reaching higher highs. Lots of folks will do so well in the next bull market but you shouldn't be of the mindset to only hodl, can be very dangerous. As hard as it is ƚradıภg Crypto, it sure is way more lucrative and is quite logical if you just learn & pay attention to what's going on, I’m not a pro ƚгadēг but I was lucky enough to make 120k usd btc worth since late last year following the instruct|ons and sιǫnals from results, Nathan Howes.

Don’t invest more than you’re willing to lose! This goes for any investment. Even if it’s almost guaranteed to go up, getting less in addition to is always better than ending up worse off
I was wondering why Dan Gurewitch was no longer with College Humor. Great job moving up, Dan. Even if you are the most hated crew member.

Can’t count how many times I’ve watched this episode. It never gets old.
Decentralized and untraceable currency helps a lot of bad guys, like hackers, smuglers, drug dealers, paedophiles, tax evaders, terrorists, human traffickers...
Why do people think bitcoin is untraceable??? It’s based on public ledger the blockchain…it’s the opposite of untraceable it’s all public open source
@@robertorthwein7680 Point taken, but people present Bitcoin as untraceable, like it's something good. If it's not untraceable, then it has no use for anyone.
Be careful of the spam crypto comments. They are not even crypto. They are serious scams.
It never gets old, and hindsight changes it's humor.

Kegan Michael Private Key
And what is a cardie b?
I'm not exactly sure what a private key is...
Actually Earthly Earthly, your private key is your pass-phrase (typically a series of randomly selected words), not your password. You can use your pass-phrase to recover access to your cryptocurrency on a specific blockchain if you lose or forget your wallet password for that currency. You should never store your pass-phrase in electronic form on your computer because once someone else has it, they can take your crypto. Always keep a hard-copy (printed or written on paper) with your important documents in a secure fire-safe (or safety deposit box).

I treated crypto like long term lottery tickets. Instead of buying a scratch off ticket, I bought some crypto, think I spent $60 or so. Year and a half later, I’m still scratching a couple “crypto tickets”. 🤷🏽♂️
In that way, I bought 5 tickets and 2 of them are now worth almost the same value as what they cost 😂 The other 3 are lost.
Anyone else wanted John to make his own crypto currency?
David Samolkin no.
it would be really entertaining when next week he would give an update and say we are now worth $ 1.5 billion
I think the reason he brought up Dogecoin was because they *wanted* to make up their own crypto and then realized someone already beat them to it and it did everything they expected
Cuckcoin
(Jk i love john pls no hate mail its only my life)
Yes call it the "Toucan" lol.
I am shocked they didn't launch their own coin
Jacob Jensen probably because they didn’t want to feed into the hype. If they did it, it would be very similar to dogecoin which already exist and they addressed.
Probably because if they did, it would do even better than that joke Dogecoin, which would defeat the purpose of their message.
Jacob Jensen I bet they figured they already got beat to the punch by all the other ridiculous coins out there
Yep i kind of expected them to considering that this show has done more wacky things.
Jacob Jensen that's for next time.

Had a friend try and talk me into it over 2 years ago. I told him I just unsure about something that has nothing to support it and has no legal standing yet. He invested 2k in one. Last week his 2k investment was now worth almost 200 dollars.
What did he invest in? Bitcoin is still worth more than it was in 2020. So are the second and third biggest cryptocurrencies. So is dogecoin for that matter. I would guess for that kind of loss he put a large chunk of money in one relatively new crypto, which then crashed. That's not a good investing strategy for *any* asset.
k and i invested 2k and im up 60k. i have friends that invested in the stock market a few years ago and lost upwards to 50%. doesnt really mean anything my guy
Wise decision. Best not to invest something you're not 100% sure in
@@LeMisterRai Better yet, never invest with money you can't afford to lose.
It was nothing but a scam. Multi level marketing stuff. The newbies all got left holding the bag.
