Blockchain: Massively Simplified | Richie Etwaru | TEDxMorristown

Richie Etwaru, discusses the opportunity and implications of blockchain as a paradigm to slow/chose the expanding trust gap in commerce. He unpacks blockchain to a level of simplicity to be consumed by those that are just starting to understand and explore the paradigm. He lays out a current state of commerce, suggesting that every company is currently at risk of being disrupted or incurring severe strain from a blockchain version of itself.
Professionally, Richie Etwaru is a c-level at a Fortune 500 Company, an author, the owner of international patents, the founder of multiple ventures, an experienced keynote speaker, an angel investor, a member of advisory boards, and a recognized thought leader in the area of digital, technology, and design.
Specific to this TEDx talk, Richie is an adjunct professor of blockchain management at Syracuse University in New York, he has delivered over 100 blockchain keynotes across the world, he has written well read blockchain blogs, he has been interviewed on blockchain in online TV shows, and has advised governments and venture funds on blockchain opportunities.
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

Risk management should always come first, the reason many traders lose money is not simply due to inexperience or a lack of knowledge of the market, but because of poor risk management

Greetings all. I've learned a ton from some of these comments, thank you for sharing them. On the sudden "volume" increases. The taping/recording of this talk had some (many) glitches, this talk took almost 1.5 hours to record (normally TEDx/TED talks are a single straight recording). I kept having to stop because the camera was not working, then the slides were stuck, then the microphone stopped working. Then the clicker battery died (I was the first speaker, so all the AV bugs were found) I was interrupted (had to stop, back up, and restart mid-sentence) about two dozen times. It was fun, I learned how to keep composure, and not break out into a sweat. LOL When I had to "restart", my energy level and voice levels were different every time as I struggled with composure and frustration :-( Hence, in post-production, I think it was very hard for the editors to "smooth" out my energy and voice.

Just imagine that the tangerine farmer's books are on blockchain ledger, his accountant business is a blockchain company and all the sales of regulated pesticides are recorded using the same technology. It's still possible that the farmer treated the tangerins with sth someone gifted to him, or that they got sprayed by mistake by his neighbour, but imho the trust gap would be filled well enough.

[@maciejmaciata5981]

Guillaume Nani, not necessarily, It would be enough for the farmer to certify all his transactions with block-chain, but I see the room for tampering in that situation. In a nutshell: bigger the network, better the verifying capabilities. The need of privacy in monetary matters comes from lack of trust and even though it's not completely necessary for the system to work, we could benefit greatly from better financial transparency in many fields. At the same time it doesn't need to be total and unlimited. Just to clarify - the farmer doesn't put anything into the block-chain. The information is being added and distributed each time he makes a transaction, that needs to consistent with the other side and rest of the network.

[@HICKSJ24]

I've watched this video over 12 x already and have been using this to built my company over.

[@switchingzener9351]

I agree the gap that needs to be filled is the one related with TRUST. See this is not a video to watch if you have not done your homework already and know where blockchain technology is.

When someone says "Unhackable" ... it makes me think about the "unsinkable Titanic" :-) Every month we see hacked banks, credit card companies, encryption keys that have been compromised, but they created systems that were unhackable. I really hope that blockchain is a little more robust than our previous attempts at creating a better system, as it solves a lot of issues. :-)

[@TheRajaSikander]

The "key" is actually a hash (a code in hexa-decimal number system). And a hash key (for any data) is calculated by advanced algorithms and it is universally unique for any given combination of characters including empty spaces. i.e. If u replaced/change as much as a single full-stop in a document; its hash will change not partially, but COMPLETELY. Consider it as a finger-print of a document. This is what he meant by "unhackable".

[@hw6452]

Great presentation. I understand this a lot better. I do have a question though... How can you verify that things weren't added into the chain maliciously or by corrupt individuals? I can see how you can trust that the chain itself hasn't been tampered with, but you can you trust that the individual items in the chain are legitimate? As an example, I'm a company that adds verification blocks to ensure that a tangerine is organic. The tangerine company pays me under the table to push the verification to the chain. So in a way, isn't there still a trust gap in that we need to trust the blocks themselves were placed legitimately?

The solution to this is the concept of a distributed ledger. Even if you could convince one person, you most likely can't convince 100 persons to alter information.

An essential element of blockchains is that you have agents competing to solve a time consuming puzzle. If an entity has to much computing power compared to the rest of the competitors, the blockchain is compromised. That makes the number of trust-able blockchains in the world limited. I may be missing something but I don't think you can have blockchains used for everything. Unless we end up with a few extremely versatile blockchains that can be used for almost everything.

Basically blockchain concept comes from linked lists. Use of cryptographic hashes, linked lists further extended to blockchain.

[@timothylarsen2425]

His tangerine concept at the end just described VeChain

[@devipatel7221]

great explanation !! understanding has increased dramatically from confusion to clarity finally ... Thank You

[@007jpjames]

Hello Richie Etwaru, your way of presentation and your PowerPoint slide clearly made me understand about Blockchain. Thank you for awesome presentation.

[@petehumiston5478]

12:49 - did he just say "turd record"?! Awesome video, thanks Richie. I think this is the next greatest invention of my (millennial) time, blockchain and crytocurrencies. Those who hate on either or just simply don't understand or are too lazy to want to understand. Time will tell...

[@CrashEtwaru]

Pete thank you for the note - let's start a revolution where everyone (or anyone) can participate!!!

[@mickehill]

hahahaha lol "thurd record"

[@user-nc6rn3rd2h]

To be sure. Its his Irish ancestry rising to the surface lol.

[@joefunk76]

Slim Shady stuff aside (lose that, please), this guy gets it and explains it magnificently.

I cringed

[@irisfrison8398]

"Power Gap...all we had was man power, SLAVERY, colonialism, the engine helped get rid of ALL THAT..." Wow to the choice of comparisons!!! Just WOW!!!

[@michaelmcgowan4969]

In college I had learn how to do public speaking. Know your audience and body language. Your content stage presence was bang on. I learned a lot about block chains. Produced some ideas for my own business idea, and my hope to create a block chain Idea in the hospitality as you referred to in your channel. Thanks for the informative video!!

[@michaelbidu9278]

Good, insightful presentation. I recommend it. Trust me!

[@CrashEtwaru]

thanks mate. looking forward to connecting soon

[@nickfotopoulos5323]

"Trust me!" Not without a blockchain sir!

[@CrashEtwaru]

LOL - I cringed when I realized that I said that (as I watched the video for the first time) - its a lot to manage when giving the speeches, and these types of mistakes are kinda hard to completely avoid :-(

[@dougrobinson2024]

Actually, he did a terrific job explaining a very complex topic!

[@CrashEtwaru]

Doug Robinson thank you sir - it's an opening body of work - viewers should watch other videos after this one as well

[@user-nc6rn3rd2h]

Just a shout out for Paul Allen. It was Paul AND bill that brought us Microsoft. Both together in Paul's garage.

[@psinghiitr]

if one wants to unlearn the Blockchain, this is the video they must watch.

[@Subeg7aryal]

I was thinking of the problems that Block chain can solve. This video explained the gap that Blockchain can solve, now suddenly I can see the real world problems of Trust where blockchain can solve. Ahaa!! Thanks to simple yet beautiful explanation of the blockchain in this video

[@fahmocali2607]

Investing in crypto and bitcoin now should be in every wise individuals list, some months later you I'll be ecstatic with the decision you made today.

[@lioslima1129]

@Jennifer Donovan you're right ma'am

[@lioslima1129]

Bitcoin is really profitable when you invest with a professional broker

[@lioslima1129]

Most times having knowledge or insight about a particular activity can as well be a pleasing exercise. I can boldly say forex and crypto trading is one of the profitable money exchange services that elevate investors and their financial status.

[@helenatawiah4699]

@Jeey Lovezee You can say that again 😂

[@helenatawiah4699]

@Jeey Lovezee Her success stories is written all over the globe 🌍

[@joanneclare8079]

Fantastic speech. Blockchain is explained in simple terms with visuals that helped me understand. Confident speaker. Humour broke up what is a complex subject and helped give the audience a mental break from intense concentration on this new and mind blowing digital concept.

[@CrashEtwaru]

Thank you for the note. Lets help everyone be a part of the paradigm, not not only the privileged!

[@tomatocan2502]

i am afraid this man would hit me in a bar discussing the most benign topic.

[@lynnmorgan3283]

I must be the only one left in class left with questions. This is the most complicated explanation I've heard yet.

[@hdang1997]

According to the HBO miniseries "Chernobyl", it was the KGB who said "Trust but Verify".

[@radgcrypto007]

LOL - supposedly Reagan came up with that ;) btw Chernobyl great miniseries :)

[@marcintanski8549]

@@radgcrypto007 he just quoted Feliks Dzierzynski the founder of Czeka who said that. Czeka was a KGB's predecessor.

[@harrybenson7801]

It is estimated that over 40,000 to 300,000 people have made a massive one million dollars in bitcoin pending on the type of broker involved for every investment to yield earning a professional broker should be involved. Mrs katie wallace is a professional broker who manages,handles and gives guidance on investments to get good profit.

[@tessydickson9836]

Wow! its surprising to come across someone acquainted Mrs katie . She has really changed my life.Thanks to my brother who refered me to her, shes one of a kind.

[@judestones3881]

I invest with Mrs katie too,she charges a 20% commission on profit made after every trading session and thats fair compared to the effort she puts in to make huge profits.

[@jamesobrien8485]

please can you tell me more about bitcoin trading i want to start trading

[@sophiaobrien6582]

Speaking of bitcoin trading, it's the best business in the world right now. I know a couple of friends who make a whole lot of money trading the financial market.

[@kevingeorge9787]

How can i reach your broker, am little bit confused about forex, i want to start investing.

[@OnKizomba]

Great explanation! love the speaker and way he shows how it works and the USEFULNESS! :)

[@dameangelovski7790]

This is the best explanation for the blockchain. Thank you!

[@shaneniu9745]

my question is how you trust if the information added on the blockchain is right or wrong? for example, how I know if the farm put the right information of each step to produce organic fruit? if there is dispute on some data added on the blockchain, how and who to resolve the dispute?

[@chin2gooner851]

So you need to realise that nothing in this world can be perfect. We only tend to make ourselves better than we have been till then.

[@draghuna]

@Ameer Here is a thought: There will be, for every blockchain, several other blockchains with data in them that one can cross verify the first blockchain's data with. One feels like Metcalfe's law will apply to block chains too and therefore the intrinsic value of a blockchain will somehow be proportional to the number of other "related" blockchains.

[@sjoerdbackx6109]

@Ameer Don't forget that everything on the blockchain is based on a consesus. Informatie that goes in the blockchain is also implicated with consensus. I can go "on" the blockchain and tell everybody how much I have in my current bankaccount, but this won't get up in the blocks just because I said so even though it might acctually be true. There has to be a consesus that what I said is true. Who should have consesus with whom, well that can indeed be difficult. But don't forget that trust in a blockchain isn't plain regular consesus but a consesus derived from the longest chain in the blockchain. Which in turn can bring new problems when for example the fraudelient information got on the chain but only gets adjusted 90k blocks further. But as other commenters have said: nothing is perfect. And in addition to that: what commerce information that you have is pure fact and can't be disputed when new information is discoverd how can you ever be certain that something happend? Plus do you want to go to such length to get THAT certainty?

[@mau345]

well this tech goes hand in hand with ai and cheap automation. if you want detailed accounting of fruit as an example, you can have an automated transport and camera with quality assurance sensors that validate untamperable data based on the fruit’s actual dimensions, “fruit id” with barcodes,color inflouresence (lets say you want to assure that no harmful pesricide was used or the fruit has the optimal visual traits). if all meets the buyer’s criteria, the system automatically vouches for it (lets say no missing and bad data),then you won’t worry about fraud. and when the buyer pays, that simply goes with the system easily. the transaction is fixed. of course not all is perfect you still have a gradient of “quality” in products, but a low grade quality market shouldn’t be necessarily excempt from this system and existing buyers could still access it with minimal mistrust.
