Bitcoin's Origins and the Genesis Blockade

[@autohog]

Truly a beautiful presentation, I am so thankful and grateful.

[@RusAlexPletnev]

There is no word, how great this video is.

[@FL4NKENSTEIN]

I think I got a little dust in my eyes at the end of that. Not quite Rodger Ver but...

Andreas is the best. One day, we'll look back on videos like this and realize we had an intellectual giant in our midst. -Phil

[@darrylsavage9049]

No one can explain bitcoin better than Andreas.

[@CryptoMange]

Everyone should watch this video

[@maartenarnou]

I agree!

[@adiintel1]

About Henry kissenger?

[@sansegkh]

Hell of a speech. Incredibly inspiring. Always kill it with the last line.

[@FreeSpirit-0001]

Sapere Aude ! Thanks for all the teachings Andreas ! Kudos to you !!!

[@damienwins6185]

Every speech by this man get's better and better. Nobody explains the importance of Bitcoin like Andreas. His talk will really help you rethink the current economic system and how corrupt it really is. I always feel that I've heard it enough, then I'm proven wrong immediately after listening.

[@annmariesorensen250]

Thank you! This helps those who need to understand how important this is to our world.

[@samacumen]

One of the best concise speeches available on the free internet today!

[@expressoclock267]

Andreas you’re a legend. Just wanted to let you know that you introduced me into Bitcoin back in 2016. Yes I’ve made some nice profitz because of you but as you say, that’s not the point. You convinced me of a proper way out of the governmental economy. I can’t thank you enough

[@mtbmachine9152]

Master

[@user-tn3jf1zi5q]

Your work is highly appreciated. Thank you very much Andreas!

[@BladeRunner-td8be]

Andreas cares about what I care about so it is VERY interesting to listen to him speak. He's plugged into the same life electrical wall outlet as I am so almost every word that comes out of his mouth is interesting to me. So glad I found him so early on with my crypto/blockchain journey. Three cheers for my favorite person in this space !

[@immanuelsegol829]

I love watching his videos while working, its just so fun to listen to him, and his books are amazing constantly using them for reference when working.

[@powerof9915]

"Destroyed currency to preserve the illusion of an economy" Wow, what a great summation of 2008 crisis

[@cypherpunk1554]

It's also a clever way of shaking down and controlling the masses. You see, as the value of the money decreases, the cost of goods and services increases. At the same time people loose jobs, take pay cuts and their savings are destroyed. As a result people are desperate again for any work, any pay, and any compromise of their hard won progress. While the people at the top are raking in the profits. Because the cost of everything has gone up lol. What a scam..😈

[@carlob517]

Yes that's the best summation I've ever heard or read about the aftermath of the GFC

[@sh0ckerturb0]

Very inspiring Andreas, I love your work

[@maartenarnou]

So do I. He's THE expert. Period.

[@SurrenderPink]

The Gospel According to Andreas! While political war criminals lord over and profit from nationalistic divisiveness (who drops the bombs that create ‘migrants’ in the first place?) the REAL issues of importance get ignored. Andreas is addressing these issues head on. We all benefit from such an articulate spokesman. As for me; having spent 25yrs on Wall St. you all have NO idea how the sausage is made. Pay attention to this man. He’s right; which makes him dangerous. Many thanks Andreas.

[@Brugllione]

Thank you for providing content that I can show to friends/family that actually makes sense to them.

[@Digitalbux]

What a great lecture. I was lucky enough to enjoy this in person. Easily the Andreas's best video since "Introduction to Bitcoin". This is a must watch video for anyone who wants to under what makes bitcoin so different and unique. Why the technology is so important and will change the world, just as the internet already has.

[@KudretBayram]

Wow. Just wow. Share this with the world. Everyone deserves to hear this.

[@ArtspiritNFT]

Thanks for that great talk, keep doing what you do, greetings from Germany

[@TravelNomad]

Such a brilliant speaker. Respect!

[@gansheit]

This is some real deep dive into why a system like bitcoin is overdue. Both thumbs up!

[@fredi1356]

The ultimate educator.

[@CYI3ERPUNK]

everyone in the world needs to hear this speech... thank you andreas for being an awesome human being

[@ru42112]

Best and easiest to understand video. Everyone needs to share this.

[@jpr5792]

unbelivable, best speaker ever....

[@cypherpunk1554]

I love your lectures. You describe #Bitcoin and it's potential so well. When I found #Bitcoin over 9 years ago I was stunned. I was a geek too. With an insatiable hunger for the Internet and the bleeding edge. Like you I was an idealist too. With an unrelenting dream of a just world where everyone had enough. I believed then, and still do believe that technology and the internet opens the door. And #Bitcoin leads the way..👍😀🗽

[@EGOS42]

One of your best. And the bar has been set so unfathomably high already!

[@miket.8289]

Andreas is a gift to humanity.

[@jordanroberts7931]

This video aged like wine when looking at what happened with Russia and the SWIFT system.

[@driver55]

This is a five star lesson on the global changes happening right now and why. About a power shift in humanity, from control & oppression, to liberation, independence, & free thought. Peaceful revolution, by opting out of the current economic & political order. -“Permit me to issue and control the money of a nation, and I care not who makes its laws...”-Mayer Anselm Rothschild

[@tom5red]

Where everything is a lie, Speaking Truth is Revolutionary

[@DesKennyDublin]

Love your talks Andreas and agree with your ideas and ideals

[@kennybush2004]

Trade wars adressed. Aantonop is good

[@dpapa2175]

please do a video about how banks (or preferably countries) borrow money. (or just one about how banking works in more details)

[@austingilbert3935]

The message in the genesis block was more pragmatic than philosophical. The software needed to demonstrate that a group of miners didn't collude to manufacture blocks prior to the public launch. In order to demonstrate the public launch was the first time the network was up and running, we had to tie it to a known point in time in the physical world in a verifiable way. We decided to use newspaper headlines which were easily accessible to all as the means to do this. IIRC, The Times of London was chosen because of proximity to UTC.

[@taladesign]

Very inspiring, thank you andreas

[@rustyshackelford6372]

Andreas Thank you for your work and everything you do for this cause. I never wanted to raise a child because I use to think the only way things would ever change was through bloodshed and a revolt against these overlords that hurt humanity. However not only am I now having a kid but I’m seeing the possibility of a better world thanks to bitcoin. My child will never have a bank account, will never know of those silly pieces of paper that have blood and drugs on them, that fund terrorists and all sorts of evil and corruption. Your talks have helped me see a better way, and give me real hope that my kid might just grow up in a world that’s better then the one I did. Keep up the great work!

[@FranksHairSalon]

I wish this video popped up in my feed 6 years ago................

[@np1663]

31.00 minute mark. Turkey. How right you were Andreas.

[@theanimalix5877]

Give this man a medal!

[@MawaMaverick]

It's really interesting that there was a message in the first bitcoin blockchain...so does this mean that bitcoin't strongest roots are based in England?

[@d0palwh56]

MAWA Analysis of SN’s writing style and his online schedule does suggest that he may have been based in the UK, but no one really knows.

[@ryana6494]

Everytime you do a new talk on "Why Bitcoin?" you outdo yourself. No one explains it with the passion or the clarity that you do!

[@Needlestitch]

This is about the actual vision from the start that so many people appear to deny or cover up for their own interests.

[@michael4383]

1 thumbs down.. im sorry for this guy. andreas is a genius.

[@jericooper7053]

Andrea, you are a genius!

[@fernando-2160]

Awesome Andreas :)

[@MrHarrilasagna]

Thank You Andreas!

[@goodlifebdg]

In my opinion, bitcoin will dominate. There will be other currencies, but they will not be used as money. As Andreas said in a video, other currencies will just be tool currencies / loyalty currencies / play currencies. Right now in our life we already have loyalty points, reards points, tokens to play games etc.

[@themistdu]

18% is the lowest percentage in the world for the unbanked? That´s not true. Norway, Finland, Denmark 0% unbanked, Sweden, New Zealand, Netherlands, Canada, Uk, Australia, Germany, Belgium, Switzerland, Estonia, Spain all have more than 96% of banked population. From the western countries the US is probably one with the biggest number of unbanked people, it´s indeed impressive. Apart from that major gap, always a pleasure hearing you Andreas!

Just beautiful. Thanks

[@getmorpheeus]

Awesome talk! Once again...

[@telltruthgoddance]

Simply explained!

[@XaYaZaZa]

Excellent presentation!

[@TheJourneyingEngineer]

Watched this 3 times like a fave movie 🍿

[@lastmanstanding5423]

Andreas just scratched the top layer of the meaning in the genesis block message. To understand the whole meaning you need to go deep in Austrian economic theory. Bitcoin is not created to "kill the banks", that's just the side effect. ;) But the fact it's so hard to see the whole message is one of the Bitcoin's strengths. Sneaky revolution...! :D

[@thedreamerisme6275]

this is fantastic

[@chiefsittingstill6061]

Do the marks on the map (in the outro image) indicate where Andreas has been publicly speaking about bitcoin & blockchain? Or does it signify something else? Anyone know?

[@alaa85hu]

Great video, by title is different than content

[@mithumor4595]

What was that 1971 Kissinger reference?

[@mithumor4595]

It is mentioned very briefly at 20:45

[@aantonop]

The agreement with the Saudis that created the "petrodollar": military protection in exchange for a pledge to never sell oil for anything other than USD.

[@NoHandleToSpeakOf]

[@zombiestation]

Crypto... for the win!

[@deathmetaldxb]

This is Amazing ( as usual amazing)

[@BitcoinNoddy]

Awesome as always

[@pierluigialbano2283]

Andrea please help me better understand your statement saying 16 million people in US (18%) don't have any banking facilities. 18% of 350 m = 60 m ... Could you please give us reference on where you found this information. Thank you

[@pierluigialbano2283]

@aantonop

[@michael2275]

Languages consolidate over time due to network effect. They do not proliferate as you suggest. That analogy implies that 95% of the currency transactions would occur in 3-4 currencies. That seems more likely to me. Sure you can have 1000's but only a few will matter.

[@jaw709]

Andreas, I feel we have a nearly identical world view. Maximum individual freedom, no countries, no borders, and peace through voluntary association and collaboration. I know people have asked previously, but IF you happen around San Fran Sept. 13 or 14, we would be elated for a visit at the Litecoin Summit :)

[@danconnor8422]

No borders? Hes not advocating for the population of Zimbabwe to show up in Jersey.

[@dpapa2175]

I'm just thinking what will happen when we figure out how to create devices which don't rely on oil. I'm assuming at that point Bitcoin is reaching abut a 1/4 of its ascendancy as more and more people die (sorry folks) involved in trad banking.

[@mtbmachine9152]

Hey man, my name is alex. If you get a chance. Can you contact me some how. I have some concerns about something I'd rather discuss privately

[@Am0rPHiA]

This time technology is trying to change something bigger in the sense that the financial system is intertwined with the governance model , The division of "church and state" was an essential step toward improving civil rights and quality of life. Crypto, in turn, allows for the division of economics and state! Maybe future societies will look to the division of economics and state as an essential element of a free and modern world (all made possible by cryptocurrency).

[@halfik83]

Its easier to communicate if everyone are speaking same language. Same with money. Its way easier to do commerce when each party is using same currency. Thats why there is going to be one main currecy used for global commerce.

[@michael4383]

imagine a world where it does not matter. it will come some day.

[@Jason-yt8ch]

You almost got it right. If everyone was able to speak all language there will be more diverse thought. Opens up a new world of possibilities.

[@halfik83]

What possibilities excaly? I think you dont know what you are talking about.
