Commoditizing Trust and Disrupting the System | Gavin Wood | TEDxVienna

The innovation and advancement offered through open-source & decentralisation paradigms will outperform the economies of scale and cronyistic advantages offered through stable, heavy centralised players as soon as technology exists to irrevocably and dramatically lower the barriers for entry into the sector. Trust-free technology, of which decentralised consensus systems such as the blockchain is the first solid example, is to the notion of trust as the internet was to communications. Dr. Wood is a co-founder and CTO of Ethereum. He co-designed the Ethereum Protocol and wrote its formal specification, created and wrote the first functional Ethereum implementation, designed the Solidity language and implemented the Whisper protocol. Dr Wood created Parity, the first truly industrial blockchain implementation. Recently, he has been working on Polkadot, which could have a significant impact on the development of blockchain. 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

This man is so underrated. Genius.

[@TrionfoLive]

He could be Satoshi Nakamoto for all we know.

[@eden5260]

Charles Hoskinson TEDx talk has 1.1 M views. Gavin Woon less than 25k. yes super underrated

[@cryptoberto8077]

DOT (Polkadot) are not my investment but my retirement funds.

[@nickh.5602]

Ideal world in my mind is to be able to make the corrupted politicians "obsolete".

[@nnggwwuu]

This gave me the chills. Commoditization of Trust!

[@werwars1190]

Calm and right talk. We are at the very edge of a conversion into a promising future in which we might never ever again argue over property and privileges. But for now nobody has an idea of what is not yet happened. Due to that we are trying to stick on the old present time, because of fear and cowardliness. I liked listening to him.

[@thelifeofdustin]

The inception is about to occur. This man is a genius !!!

[@Scnav89]

Polkadot.

[@nithshan7623]

@@Scnav89 wow U saw it coming, dude!! So u have ur bags loaded with DOT??

[@Scnav89]

Nith Shan I was loaded with kusama and now dot .

[@jairusan]

Excellent idea and well-transmitted example in my opinion.

[@umbertopappalardi8667]

Polkadot for Future 🗽

[@ryanmccain1158]

Due to the legend. I love that he didn't even take a sunglasses off the top of his head.

[@ARastogi19]

Do I look Jewish?

[@CharIie83]

trust? I like it

[@5starrater1]

If I was Gavin, I would have opening with this - In 3 years time, I'm going to be a billionnaire - let me explain why...

[@nivinpeter3106]

making money is not the motto here. it's about having control over your own wealth!

[@sams.1597]

That would have been great.

[@ghironsingh]

In light of the recent FTX collapse this strikes true.

[@tomasz-waszczyk]

Commoditizing trust normally speaking means commoditization of people.

[@AbhijithCRX]

Is he wearing a Cardano TShirt?

[@petchlnwzaaa]

LMAO 😂

[@nivinpeter3106]

dude polkadot is written on it

[@MrOluncaF]

🤣

[@alisiavega7524]

the audio is soo bad :(

[@caster8980]

I bought polkadot under 4 dollars 😉

[@burningheartsministriesmis1488]

It's a steal at $40 buy more

[@glaubenir]

[@michaelhaydenbell]

Congrats?

[@incomebooster4728]

Is he talking about PolkaDot.

[@nivinpeter3106]

he actually wears polkadot

[@thatboytorres]

not exactly, blockchain and consensus mechanism

[@peterbarrett5496]

Whos ted

[@burningheartsministriesmis1488]

Not super clear teaching

[@neilog747]

Who will police the coders in a code-illiterate society?

[@mediocrejokre]

The world is becoming more and more code literate to be clear. The future we probably not even talking, just sending code to each other's neuralinks connected to our brains lol

[@toddmaek5436]

Eventually the code will write monitor and update itself.

[@digitaldemocracyai-rob]

3/4s into this and he's still yapping about institutions. Get on with it man. Wasted his time there, shoud have been more direct.

[@Zerinsakech]

Because it’s difficult to understand how the old system of institutions do not need to exist anymore.

[@sams.1597]

@@Zerinsakech Great point. Most people can’t imagine a world without these trusty institutions and middlemen.

[@nivinpeter3106]

he's so bad at explaining things.

[@thatboytorres]

it's a complicated thing

[@mohit09876]

He is trying his best to not sound too technical

[@davidlestermooney]

Ugh. I came here to get a sense of dot and it's creator. Sounds arrogant, idealistic and not very clear at all.

[@Blockchain778]

Haha definitely a confident guy but look into it more it’s really interesting

[@davidlestermooney]

@@Blockchain778 I bought some. But only because I'm emotionally invested in Charles and ada. So I needed a hedge against my own predjuces. Something about gavin really puts me off.

[@davidlestermooney]

@Scrooge McDuck lol, the king speaks how he wants to speak!

[@Replicode]

@@davidlestermooney Funny i'm the opposite. I like Gavin and find something puts me off of Charles and ada. No idea what it is tho, and, like you, I'm invested in both to offset that bias!

[@davidlestermooney]

@@Replicode haha. That is funny. We're right tonhedge our bias. I also bought more of that cheap dot recently. I'll give Gavin Wood another chance. But yeah, I'm a fan boy of CH for sure.

I think he might be shytoshi kusama
