- "Bitcoin is not smooth jazz," says Andreas M Antonopoulos, an entrepreneur, author and cryptocurrency expert. "Bitcoin is punk rock."

That means you can't control it, centralise it, turn its disruptive elements into something palatable for an executive board room... or rename it 'blockchain' to make it more palatable for mass adoption.
"Bitcoin is not just a minor incremental change, it's not a payments network. Bitcoin is one of the most fundamental transformations on the basis of money," he said.
So why is it still so misunderstood? Antonopoulos told the audience at WIRED Money 2015 part of the reason is that its implications are changing all the time. His 300-page book 'Mastering Bitcoin' has to be updated every three months to avoid becoming totally obsolete, he said.

First they ignore us, then they ridicule us, then they fight us , then we win
Andreas, such a brilliant and passionate educator
Only 11k views on one of the most revolutionairy talks? We trully are still at the very beggining of adoption.
he might be overestimating gen z's intelligence. hardly anyone is using swift or lightning and most are just holding in a wallet or an exchange and doing nothing with it. the perception of robustness just isn't there.
25,000 in 2024 ❤
Yes, i think the same in 2024. How it it going?
Or at the end of native humanity. Feels there more and more simulations around me instead of humans
Wow I tought I’m late in this whole game ….
This dude gives me goosebumps.
He'll give even bigger goosebumps in future when we will all see the things he explained in motion
This should have millions of views...
..then it wouldn’t be punk by defn...? ;-P 🖕
I just found this today. Wish I seen it 2 years ago.
@@Jimo225 just found this today, you were here 2 years ago.
Andreas is a great speaker!
Great StoryTeller
Real
He's a class act.
1 pound in 2015 would have bought you 0.0035 bitcoin when this talk came out, which is now Ofcourse worth 106.10 pounds
Love Andreas! Merci beaucoup pour tant d'information ❤

I have a question for those who know something about the topic.
Andreas Antonoplus said they send Bitcoin from person to person without any fees.
How can it be that if, for example, I want to send someone Bitcoin from the exchange or my soft wallet, I have to pay very high fees every time.
Why are the fees so high ?
Try it with a wallet you hold the keys to. An exchange wallet will have fees so avoid exchanges.
Very good explanation of btc!
PREACH
Punks not dead
The speaker of whiteboard crypto, has the same voice WTF
4:49 probably the only point I disagree with AA, I think the name is brilliant. He is right that "coin" points to something physical but the prefix "Bit" tells us that is something imaterial.
Bit=information
Coin=money
Data on currency.
Bitcoin is not btc.
AA is knowingly deceptive.
He knows Craig Wright is satoshi.
He knows BSV is bitcoin.
@@jpbsvCraig Wright is not Satoshi. And who said AA thinks Craig is?
@@youjustreadthis897
I've seen AA interact with CSW.
@@jpbsv Seen quite a few people interact with Craig too. But did AA specifically say he believes Craig is Satoshi?
Craig is not Satoshi. The real Satoshi Nakamoto, be it a person or group of people, will remain anonymous indefinitely
@youjustreadthis897 no.
CSW is satoshi 100%
Proof of work.
BSV doing over a million tps.
Proof of work.
The case will be successfully appealed.
It was a crooked verdict.
Wait and see.
"De-banking all of us". Thank you.
Go Andreas! $0.99 *****

ayy thanks dude haha

Legend!
I love punk-rock! So I am good!
Can someone explain to me what good is a "money" whose value changes by extraordinary amounts on sometimes a daily, and certainly at times weekly and monthly basis? I can see how it's great for speculators but I fail to see any attraction it would have as money, i.e. a stable medium of exchange and store of value for at least long enough to park it while you look around for the next place to spend/invest it.
try venezuela or argentina. if you travel to a country that isn't as stable as the privileged one you're obviously from, you'd realize how important this is because currencies' values shift sometimes more dramatically than bitcoin or other altcoins. unlike some currencies that force their citizens to use home currency, bitcoin will continue to grow as more and more people use it, which will make it more stable.
There are many agencies that allow you to peg it to a set price if you are using it as a currency for good and services. Its very early days for bitcoin in a few years when 1sat is worth 1cent you will see stability, and at that point it will be too late to make money off it.
If a country fully adopted it as it's only legal tender, like every country already does with their own currency, it's volatility would reduce in domestic markets. *People can exchange any currency.* I don't care much about the currency exchange market in the short-term lol. It doesn't mean anything. Revenue streams average out & people are encouraged to save within the currency, because timing the market in any other is too random. It's easier to just keep the currency & use it's higher purchasing power directly onto buying goods & services, instead of trading it for something depreciating & then buying stuff 😆
Worked out as a great store of value didn't it
Bitcoin is the internet of money. I gotta sit with that one
It certainly is an interesting sale's pitch, but he really didn't address the biggest problem: stability. Saying that crypto currencies will always be around doesn't mean that the exchange rates won't fluctuate massively.
don't confuse stability with volatility. Fluctuations in price are part of bitcoins emergence. It's still a baby, give it time. Bitcoin is very stable. It's been attacked and is still being attacked from every which way and it's still very much alive.
1 BTC = 1 BTC

I highly doubt that Hunter-Gatherers had something like money. If you live in large families, roaming the land, with no specialisation, no division of labour, being only able to possess what you can carry, money doesn't make much sense.
What you know about "Hunter-Gatherers" is just speculation. We don't know how much they hunted vs. how much they gathered, but they certainly traded, and money is the intermediary for trade.
right on. trade IS money... store and transfer of value.
Native American hunter gatherers used shells and beads as money.
