Bitcoin -- more than just money | Dug Campbell | TEDxUniversityofEdinburgh

This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. Dug Campbell explains why Bitcoin is not just the money of the Internet, but it’s the Internet of money.
He has been avidly following the impact of technology on society since the late 90’s and he’s convinced that the cat’s out of the bag when it comes to digital currency. As well as working as Product Marketing Manager at Skyscanner, he writes on how digital networks continue to influence the modern world. Oh, and he’s pretty sure the robots are coming, but doesn’t want to give an exact date.
About TEDx, x = independently organized event In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

Bitcoin is technology. You can't stop technology. And you can't either stop the INTERNET.

[@odinigwechigozie3315]

Exactly

I'm absolutely thrilled by the potential for no trust transactions. The multi sig implementations from different wallet providers alone is a huge leap to trustless exchange. The no-party escrow ability of the blockchain and other features are equally remarkable techniques for revolutionizing trade. The reputation system of Ebay is powerful, but this is far superior. I am very excited to see what openBazaar and other sites come up with.

I am trying to find a negative comment with merit... Can do it... Hmmm. This looks good for bitcoin... Buy now while the price is low and the cost of mining is extremely high, general demand in low. Eventually the cost of mining will decrease as the transaction fees take over to offset the lower return from mining.... Bitcoin is nothing short of a major paradigm shift. DO NOT ignore this.

10 000 bitcoin now 600 million

so "we" hop in, pay the car, the car buys it's own maintenance, probably from robots, why not ... my humble question is: how can "we" pay the car if "we" can't be cabdrivers, car-mechanics ... whatever it is "we" do to earn our living? Or is that "them", who'd be the unemployed then? Or will "I" be given bitcoins just like that?

[@kinositajona]

What about switchboard operators? We shouldn't use telephones with automated switchboards because how will the switchboard operators be able to afford a telephone if they don't have jobs? Answer: Learn new skills and get a different job. If everything under the sun is done by robots, then I guess the only job left would be to make new robots that a robot would never think to make using our creativity. I am more interested to hear what you would propose we do? Just stop all technology from innovating so that we can have a less efficient society where people do jobs that are unnecessary so they feel important?

[@kimrollo8606]

technology is a disruptor it always has been....yes it will destroy some jobs but it always creates many many more

[@ulalaFrugilega]

true, what we need is a change in evaluating people ... so they can earn money in new ways

[@jasonwelder1]

+A. DUBITANTE I like the idea of working towards a world where people have their business worked out so well that nobody is forced to labor, and we can all spend our days the way we please, following our passions. And I'll wager it would turn out to be a very productive time in history, like a second Renaissance.

[@ulalaFrugilega]

Jason Welder me too. But sadly, I've found that very few people can handle spare time, even in small doses ... ;O)

Cryptocurrency is amazing revolutionary opportunity for every one and more than many cryptocurrencies are available but onecoin has more powerful blockchain and attractive compensation plan

[@ShikuNgigi]

All was well until he said M-Pesa has now included a Bitcoin wallet. 14:34 So not true.

[@ghadafihussein]

Shiku Ngigi, I bet they wished they had it.

[@anthonyg6221]

bitcoin. just like the tech stocks in the 90s, just like real estate in the 2000's. nothing backing it except hope n faith it will be sold tomorrow to a bigger sucker for a higher price. physical gold and silver will emerge from obscurity and be proven to be the ultimate money! bitconners be like tech investors in 99, this time is different!

[@Cegorahsprankcaller]

This is why Tedx talks are garbage. JFC

[@Cegorahsprankcaller]

***** 'fact'

[@RobertNasiadek]

Do you actually understand the technology and have something valuable to say, or are you just trolling?

[@abah2077]

Robert Nasiadek he is just angry cause it looks like bitcoin will take over the dollar and every other fake paper money on the planet
