Thanks! Wanted to know if you guys could do a lecture about the FinTech/venture class the professor was referring to?

[@kamrantahir4389]

Can you upload lecture 18?

[@BK-ek1pz]

Why?

Satoshi Nakamoto stopped by to give a guest lecture that day.

I love this entire courseware. It completely explains all the movements that Gary Gensler is doing while he's at the SEC.

an example may be SDRs used by International Monetary Fund trading paper between central banks .... a space where blockchain can sufficient record ledgers and account authorisation, clearing between central banks & final settlements.

The video about the history of ICO was easy to understand.

It completely explains

[@pragmaticamente4734]

I've audited this course through OCW and I did the readings, because he was the former "SEC guy", so I wanted to know what "these people" truly think about cryptos. And 1 year later, he's appointed, again, as the Chair of the Securities and Exchange Commission.. heh! This is perfect. I know what the "SEC guy" really thinks about Bitcoin, in the short term, in the medium term and in the long term. Long live Gary Gensler!!.. hehe..

[@digitalperplexities]

CFTC not SEC the first time around

[@andsama]

how are those ico developed though , and why are they all on ethe network

Why is it called an opencourse, but not fully open? Missing session 18!

[@xrpkidotec520]

Maybe 18 talked about ripple and XRP...? and since there's a lawsuit going on they removed it...? 🤔

[@vladyslavbandrovsky9202]

Try on the MIT website directly. I think they have the whole course with papers published

[@andso7068]

The assignments and readings are published. The only thing that is missing is the lecture.

[@ermagerdh]

Who's gonna regulate the ICOs. Gary: Its gonna be me bucko

[@zhengxunwu2060]

where is jeff sprecher's talk? why is the 18th lecture missing from the lecture lists? is it possible to publish that?

[@mitocw]

Note that Lecture 18 is not available. There could be a number of reason it is not available: the lecture was not recorded, the recording was bad (e.g. no audio), the instructor did not want to publish the lecture, IP issue (permission of a speaker not given), etc. No reason is given on the course.

[@mikehimes7944]

@@mitocw was this a case of it being hosted and pulled, or a case of it was never available?

Opposite of FOMO is FUD (fear, uncertainty, doubt)

[@harambeinhumanform]

no it is not fomo & fud r the same

[@lennon_richardson]

@@harambeinhumanform FOMO drives higher prices. FUD pushes prices down. Check the meanings again. They are not the same.

[@harambeinhumanform]

Not with bitcoin

[@harambeinhumanform]

Ever heard of pump n dump

[@harambeinhumanform]

Fud creates prices to soar like steroids and fomo makes the investor buy when the price drops like dogecoin and shiba inu . Nobody bought Shiba Inu, at least it wasnt really the buzz until October happened.

[@auntlynnonline6206]

DOES ANYONE HAVE LECTURE #18? Or know anyone who might? The internet has been absolutely cleansed of it... It is really important that we get it. Any videos, transcripts, etc? Thank you.

[@mitocw]

Lecture 18 is not available. The topic was "A New Approach to Crypto-Exchanges & Payments". See the course on MIT OpenCourseWare for Study Questions and the Readings for lecture 18 at ocw.mit.edu/15-S12F18. Best wishes on your studies!

[@saggy359]

Watched

[@RealTrader93]

Lecture 18 is lost media. What happened with Lecture 18? Why is it not available?

[@mitocw]

The most common reasons for videos to not be available are IP (guest lecturer doesn't sign the IP forms), technical (no audio, files missing), practical (class was cancelled, camera crew missed the lecture/). There is no specific note on the course (ocw.mit.edu/15-S12F18), so it was probably one of those reasons.

[@DJ-hy8wf]

For Gary to say Ripple had no use case for XRP is dishonest. The whole idea of the XRPledger from the beginning was to be a universal bridge for exchange of any value. The team realized that it was far too advanced at the time so they developed a plan to slowly rebuild the plumbing of the total financial sector..... incremental baby steps.. xrapid was just the first step. ...all the money was the plan from day one.
