  • "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.

    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 ?

    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.

    • @kurt6399
      @kurt6399 Před 8 lety +7

      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.

    • @tikklemeemo1979
      @tikklemeemo1979 Před 6 lety +2

      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.

    • @austinbyrd1703
      @austinbyrd1703 Před 2 lety

      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 😆

    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.

    • @rezneba101
      @rezneba101 Před 6 lety +10

      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.

    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.
