    PLEASE be wary of scammers in the comments. Don't send anyone any funds. Assume everyone is trying to scam you. Follow people like Preston Pysh, Stephan Livera, Jeff Booth and Michael Saylor for bitcoin content. Thanks for watching.

      Trying to keep on top of the scammers by removing the comments when they are posted but inevitably I can't get them all immediately so be aware.

    To the woman who was concerned about someone just wiping the Bitcoin away, I'd ask what's more likely, having a ledger kept by a private bank in maybe 3 places manipulated or a verified confirmation of a correct ledger kept in thousands of places across the earth manipulated?

      I also want to add that it's funny how firmly some people hold onto narratives that they hear in headlines without doing any research of their own, but interesting to see their lightbulb reactions go off when you have a counter argument that sort of makes sense to them. Such as the energy FUD and helping the unbanked use case

    People don't trust something they don't know or understand. But ler me tell you that even children don't know how the smartphones and tablets are working on technical level, but they use them. I don't know on technical level how the debit cards works, but everybody today is using them. So my point is you don't need to know how the technology works to use it.

    • @johndavies729
      @johndavies729 Před 2 lety +3

      I think most Bitcoin haters fall prey to their own cognitive biases, particularly confirmation bias. Most skepticism seems to come from an emotional standpoint than a rational one. People decide they don't like Bitcoin, and *then* they look for reasons it's bad. This young lady has decided she doesn't like Bitcoin and because she doesn't like heterosexual white men she's found a way to associate the two.

      Bear in mind ownership in nice parts of London might be higher than the rest of the country.

    A bit of advice you can take or leave - you might need to read up a bit more on points supporting Bitcoin in regards to the environment. There are plenty of environmental benefits to Bitcoin as an alternative to the banking system, and it incentivises renewable energy usage. But implying that the environmental impact of Bitcoin is worth it in order to sustain Bitcoin may not be as well received, since the people you are speaking to already are uncertain of the need for Bitcoin.
    But either way - good stuff and appreciate the content!

      @TheMaynn Před 2 lety

      Yeah, people say it uses a lot of energy without even considering how much energy the current system uses, the fact that the dollar is backed by the energy use of US army (look into how freaking environmentally unfriendly that is). Not to mention how inefficient and corrupt that whole system is!
