This is the right video that explains the real concept and the need for blockchain.Almost all the videos and blogs i referred gave big big descriptions and difficult phrases that confuse a man more rather than understanding it.Ur speech is excellent Mam

[@annahn3881]

This gives me one new perspective of blockchain.

[@StatisticallyChallenged]

Amazing talk! Majority of people are yet to realize the potential here.

[@halalmeatshophk]

can anyone explain how a simple person who don't understand computers earn and spend bitcoins? example like if i want to earn money, i go to MacDonald for work and get paid $/hr or $/day. Then i can spend these $ and buy coffee from Starbucks. can anyone explain in simple words? every where on the internet, they explain how to buy bitcoins but no one explain how to earn bitcoins with simple elbow-grease+time.

[@울라이트조나쉬]

She's correct and I love the concept of freedom in different aspect! This is the future!!

[@koechwesley4163]

this is the way to go.

[@oskarsvard2030]

Anne Connelly, what a speech !

[@dakotapeters5654]

The problem with the world is lack of trust acceptance moral support and attention in many areas it starts in homes and schools the easy fixes are all available for all the problems anybody has if everyone could just simply band all the results of the best ways to teach, learn, deal with insecurities, parent, be patient, know how to disagree peacefully, realize that talking about your finances and love life is a good thing if you have troubles as well as how important it is to solve problems together and integrate the best ideas for the betterment of the world as a whole. In America many people think it's important to make more jobs for our economy Wich is illogical being it makes the family pull apart why don't we just use knowledge to design quick replenishable low to no maintenance methods of transportation for everyone and all goods. Design a free self operated garden for each house and free unlimited power source/ water source. Pre-emptivly find ways to prevent or set up accomodations for people in case of hurricanes mass fires and earthquake as well and design our city's/cultivate the land to best reduce any natural disasters from occuring as well as for even if they do happen how to reduce the damage done.

Blockchain is about crating a new society with less inequalities.

[@krzysztofchylinski6252]

Now increasingly we need freedom of speech in the West as well.

[@salahsedarous7616]

External freedom without internal freedom is another form of slavery. We are all internally chained. But and despite that reality, the struggle has to continue. Thank you

[@habitatLP]

Blockchain, Smart Contracts and Starlink are the tools in the future to decentralize everybodys lives.

[@johnnynodraw6009]

You know decentralized means no single authority on a system or service right? How is Starlink, own by a company, makes your service or system decentralized? It enables a "complete" network coverage around the globe sure. But still, it is owned by someone and owned by someone is the exact opposite of decentralization. Even if it was free. Even if it was open sourced. Distributed does not mean decentralized.

[@Patrick-ud3vu]

This video should be seen by a lot more people!

Bitcoin is the future, Investing in it now will be the wisest thing to do especially with the current rise

[@pipereva4830]

For real it's very profitable

[@christopheraustin7541]

How does this whole bitcoin thing work, I'm interested in it and I'm willing and ready to invest heavily in it but I'm gonna need an assistant from any trusted and productive professional

[@maisonfoster3896]

You don't really need someone to tell you how to invest your coins, you can make research on your own and also try doing it yourself first.

[@jordanalbert3117]

Wow I'm just shocked you mentioned and recommended Walter Trading Services, I thought people don't know them... they're really awesome!

[@waynerandy6835]

Haha you don't have to be surprised Walter Trading Services are really good and everyone loves genuine services, they've helped me recover what I lost trying to trade on my own

[@rosej5029]

Other than decentralization, digital transfers through online bank accounts does the same thing.

[@pipmick2775]

The Cardano (ADA) blockchain is already doing this (through an application called ATALA Prism) and Cardano's ultimate goal is to bank the unbanked worldwide and democratize money for all of us so no one organization or government can ruin you financially ever again (and cut out the greedy / corrupt middle men at the same time)

[@darbsllim]

What a great talk!

[@shreyasjain4all]

Great 🌟

[@mikkevalon9381]

I think that for us, the people, the blockchain could guarantee the imutability of the votes in an election. And the people will be able to check that everything is good, and the results are accurate.

[@michellewhitney6841]

That would have been nice for this 2020 election

[@jct3439]

Investing in blockchain technology is probably the wisest thing you could do right now... ESPECIALLY IF YOU’RE IN YOUR 20’s!! We’re on the cutting edge. Think how efficient the world will be 5, 10, 20, 50 years from now from all that innovation and development

[@talkvids]

African counties have been using mobile money for years long before this video. I love crypto and a early adopter but this is not revolutionary that Africa needs crypto. Village people use cell phones, solar panels and mobile money. People need to realize Africa is not what the media portrays . China is investing. Think .

[@thembanitheone]

Word. I'm Zimbabwean and we've been using mobile money for a long time. I wouldn't be too thrilled about the Chinese investments though. It's quick cash go solve our short term infrastructure needs but in the long term our debt to them will bite us.

Blockchain will come and go; it won't be around forever.

[@NotraNaum]

lol you sound like the people who said the internet was a fad.

[@tidepoolclipper8657]

There are plenty of crypto currencies and there is no guarantees that blockchain won't be rendered obsolete at some point in time.

[@NotraNaum]

Obviously there are no guarantees in anything. But that is not a very interesting argument.

[@Metaroids]

@@tidepoolclipper8657 We have a solid use-case which is sound money. Development is still ongoing so there are risks.
