Why Bitcoin Will Take Over The World: Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong | Uncommon Knowledge

[@ConorChepenik]

The host did an incredible job showcasing both sides and engaging in fair debate with an open mind. Bravo

[@a.s.clifton544]

If anyone ha asked me the one subject that would never be discussed on Uncommon Knowledge, crypto would have headed the list. Peter Robinson is the best intellectual interviewer we have. He approaches this subject with the same skepticism people of my generation (I’m 64) expect. At the same time he injects an enthusiasm to be expected of our generation’s grandchildren. Well done, Peter.

[@Benjamin-fu5ij]

You hit the nail on the head. This is exactly what I was thinking, and I'm Gen Z.

[@EE-gy1kf]

BTC is the hardest and most pure form of money humanity has ever discovered.

[@dbongo1]

I admire Brian's restraint. I could never be so diplomatic when talking about the Incompetent Congress or the Criminal Fed.

[@chrisklaeffling1]

That is the reason why he is a CEO

[@JeDxDeVu]

Bitcoin is not crypto. It’s Bitcoin and everything else. If you think Bitcoin is like any other crypto and that the words are interchangeable then you have lots of work ahead of you.

[@lchpdmq]

Your religion is kind of hilarious, and I’ve been in bitcoin for over a decade

[@PatchedBandit]

0.1 BTC is now worth 7,000 USD

[@madfish369]

I've had a Coinbase account for a few years, and knew of this guy just a little. But never heard him in depth. My respect for him has shot up big time. He's brilliant.

[@cheebug]

It’s cool watching people begin to understand bitcoin. I get to relive the excitement vicariously

[@jaredlopez2926]

Managers in corporations should stay out of politics, religion, etc. I love that Armstrong took a stance on that.

[@NZEverydayInvestor]

Such a classy interviewing style. Articulate, polite, open…

[@thorarthur66ddz]

The reason Bitcoin has value is that it’s a decentralized network with its own bearer asset, meaning that it’s a scarce and transmittable money that is backed by energy and user-run nodes. It’s the world’s most decentralized and immutable database, and allows people to bring their money with them globally and send it around the world at the speed of light in a non-custodial way

[@funkyseven19]

Coming over out of my Bitcoin bubble a bit to see these comments and my goodness.. reminds me just how early we are in this transition

[@meinking22]

Nice to see the Boomers and normies are finally getting some solid information on crypto. Well done Uncommon Knowledge. Better late than never.

[@tonywright8342]

The best interview I have seen in regard to Bitcoin. Fantastic conversation. It has left me so much more knowledgeable and confident in Bitcoin.

[@shawnradke]

you should watch Robert Breedlove podcasts instead

[@ninobach7456]

You really have to respect the open mindedness from the interviewer

[@SammyC27]

lower your crazy fees Brian

[@gilkennedy7638]

Im in crypto since 2017, have a Coinbase account since, never really took time to listen to Brian....I'm impress

[@glenw3814]

BA seems like a very thoughtful guy. This interview is a win in my book.

[@LeroyJamlArmstng]

Fix the money and you fix the world

[@dd-ow6pe]

hats off to interviewer .. extremely difficult subject for non-technical person

[@codrinvechiu2832]

I would be interested in Tom Sowell's opinion on crypto

[@joshholm1000]

I'm willing to bet he's all for it.

[@innermind23]

Coinbase is the most important American company since Google.

[@guitarsz]

what a gracious host. He’s fantastic.

[@7777maesteg]

It's the first time I have heard this interviewer. Excellent technique and want to hear more!

[@davidanalyst671]

this is hilarious. "Pretend we have a functioning congress" lolz. sometimes this guy is the best part of the vid.

[@Web3WondersUS]

This is American journalism at its finest. Five star interview - historic.Thank you! 👏🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟👏

[@stevewaterfield4862]

A small correction, gold is not scarce. The amount available is only limited by the effort humans exert to mine it. As the price goes up, more and more gold will be mined. Not so with BTC, 21 million is all there is, no matter the price.

[@dave9547]

Who created bitcoin? Do you reeeeally think the gov/deep state don't know?

[@fegerstein]

When the guy said his 700 purchase went to 300 the next day. Brian should of said. Buy the dips

[@padere917]

Smart move Brian, wish more leaders have spine like you

[@Benjamin-fu5ij]

Didn't think I'd see Lex Luther on the show! All joking aside, he's definitely one of the good ones. He's shown spinal fortitude, and is working to make our world a better place, and preserve individual liberty and ability to self-determine, much respect!

[@ronnw8153]

Wow I never knew this about Brian Armstrong. Kick ass guy. 🤜🤛👍

[@robertlee8042]

Don’t interrupt the man with anecdotes. He was about to tell you about the fall of empires due to currency inflation and you stopped him. LISTEN.

[@TheTeaserking]

Rome ended due to inflation because they stopped using gold the same with Spain France Amsterdam the Ukraine n the usa. The professor the only answer is gold

[@BitcoinMeister]

Great interview! This is a valuable service for the boomer side of your audience. Brian is a Bitcoin hero and he does not scare normies away. Everyone can still protect their wealth with Bitcoin!

[@TheTeaserking]

Watch your botcoin go to 0 btw it's not backed by anything n when the dollar goes to 0 bitcoin n all crypto go to 0. Smh didn't u go to school. Lol the professor

[@fusion9619]

Hey, I know you! I haven't seen your videos in a long time - I'm gonna check out your podcast again after this. I love your enthusiasm!

[@HellsMaw]

Fantastic interview, Coinbase and the crypto market as a whole are just getting started

[@TawBitcoin]

Get Michael saylor on to talk about Bitcoin!

[@stevehalverson790]

I think of crypto as two categories: 1. Bitcoin 2. All other cryptocurrencies

[@DueceBandit]

Extremely great interview to send to an older person to get them away from hating/having no knowledge of crypto. Not very deep in any one subject, but perfect as an intro.

[@scepisle4970]

This is why we Bitcoin....... ❤

[@paulfrancis4227]

A suggestion: Armstrong dances on the surface when answering why Bitcoin’s not become a payment vehicle. How’s this? - the Fed’s aim of (say) 2.3% jnflation is, among other things, a stimulus for folks to buy - turn your money (into investments or products), or it loses its value. Bitcoin is deflationary. It therefore destroys one’s motivation to spend. Big picture: Bitcoin’s structure destroys our economic model. It has ushered in a competing model in which holders hold. Period. That stasis of a currency is antithetical to our entire economy, and since we are the spending man, now, bitcoin is in a very big way antithetical to us, our very notions of ourselves. That’s why we don’t spend it.

[@dominiqueluzTV]

Peter Robinson, you are not onlyban extraordinary interviewer but also a great inspiration for those who also intend to be interviewers! Keep up.the good work!

[@mariusrotterdam5212]

What a master class of journalism! Well prepared for every detail for asking a question. Now I know about the timeline of Brian Armstrong work in Coinbase. Best quality of the interview. 💯🇱🇺🇱🇹👊

[@f1sker_karma]

Holy sh*t. This was a fantastic listen.

[@sharpenedge]

It was terrible.

[@bobinindiana]

Congress should take the power to order the printing of money away from the Federal Reserve Bank. The market should set interest rates. If Congress decides to increase the money supply, let them pay the full political price. As for Argentina, Peron was a full-fledged Facist.

[@trevorshakiba1329]

Crazy. Didn't expect to see this topic on Uncommon Knowledge. Bravo. Bitcoin (not crypto) is the future!

[@DefiTraveler]

Armstrong is a hero!

[@Web3WondersUS]

25:59 Leadership moment - clarity on the mission.👏

[@jfscars48]

There’s hope. A brilliant young man.

[@njreno1]

Never thought I would listen to a podcast or interview through the Hoover Institution. Great interview.

[@kakaocorporation]

Coinbase is one of our favorite companies from Y Combinator.

[@ericlopez6866]

Bitcoin is the hardest money ever invented. And history has shown that hard money wins. And we are still extremely early. And please, don't say "crypto". It's Bitcoin, and everything else.

[@sharpenedge]

🙌 this. Study Bitcoin, not "crypto".

[@BradZook]

Mr. Robinson is the best interviewer.

[@Angus1507]

I set up a Coinbase account in 2017. They terminated it in 2022 saying I’d broken some rules but wouldn’t detail what. I hadn’t done anything wrong in any way.

[@vanodyssey1659]

Great talk, I think this will be one that will be watched in 30 years time when the future are trying to understand the histoy crypto. Though at that stage, it may just be as common as cash is today. The talk has a James F Buckley vibe to it.

[@cazalis]

Great, simple, concise, sans prejudice interview! ❤

[@EdRobles1]

Wow. Best interview I’ve seen on this topic. Professional, transparent session. A rarity nowadays.

[@BofaDeezKnights]

I am happy to see this topic covered. But I would have loved to see a discussion with a researcher or early advocate in the field, not a corporate CEO. A CEO is very limited in what they are allowed to say on camera. It makes for a very muted discussion.

[@lchpdmq]

He’s at the crossroads of key economic issues and and actual player in how the world evolves, and you want some academic? Bizarre

[@magcarl2000]

Good to see Coin CEO suing the SEC. He could have expressed his support to Ripple when they were going through the same with the SEC.

[@paulfrancis4227]

I wish T. Sowell were sitting in. He’d remind us “there’s no solutions, only compromises” I daresay. But from Bitcoiners, all of whom know “not your keys, not your crypto”, I hope everyone notices that Mr Armstrong’s successful corporation is a massive bank-type institution - a middle man which Bitcoin was to circumvent. This point has limits. Of course: One cannot mine bitcoin easily any longer (the intended way to gain coins), so purchasing them is necessary. There are decentralized exchanges now, or soon (Better Than Money, eg), which allow individual exchanges of currencies. But Armstrong, in the end, was sneaky in his answer on freedom: his interests cannot, cannot possibly be those of the average bitcoin holder.

[@lchpdmq]

Dont be so cynical, it ridiculous, people need a way into the ecosystem and cb does a good job supporting it, as things evolve they will be more decentralized

[@joshholm1000]

Agreed but he's a huge icon in the crypto space and therefore pushes the crypto message to the masses. Love him or hate him he's doing work to spread Bitcoin throughout the world.

[@bufuCS]

I enjoyed every single minute of this! Thanks for the upload

[@FollowEman]

Excellent interview. Thank you.

[@kieron8051]

Brian comes across really well. Great to view this as a COIN share holder and BTC holder. The future is bright and Brian is the right man for taking COIN forward. Looking forward to Q2 results tomorrow.

[@SaiDeLaRai]

🤔 this is probably one of the best interviews I have ever seen.

[@robertlee8042]

I remember the SEC chairman, I can’t remember who he was, but they were suing some kid for doing whatever brokerage sell side brokerage firm does in America.

[@darbyheavey406]

That’s a very unclear statement.

[@asdf09er]

Interesting example of how a small number of vocal people can cause such disruption. 29:45

[@VaticanToo]

Almost halfway through the interview. I hope he answers the elephant in the room: The risk of the Feds freezing, or seizing the crypto held on the exchange.

[@Marklodhi420]

I recorded one minute of Peter speaking about "bitcoin can fix it".

[@manuelamundaray299]

Classy interview

[@RedMcc]

What a great interview!!

[@timkopp9763]

Yaaass what a sweet pairing Uncommon knowledge and Brian Armstrong

[@jerryearick4943]

Very wonderful analogy

[@bjarnithors]

Amazing interview, lots of respect for Brian Armstrong!

[@nosuchthing8]

Its provably unique in the sense that only one bitcoin miner solves the puzzle first and is awarded the coin. And that result is logged into the block chain on all the miners across the world. If there is a tie then the longest chain gets the coin. AFAIK

[@S2G-yn3fl]

Great interview. Thank you

[@jakubkouo]

Very well articulated for older generations. Which I believe, it is a primary target group of this interview. Good job.

[@agamemnonplatonis9019]

What a great podcast! 👏🏻 Thank you for organizing the interview 🙏🏻

[@CHrbn]

Great interview. Lots of good information

[@peterabild1123]

This guy is very convincing in a nice way

[@robrick9361]

So was Bernie Madoff...

[@gladyshernandez877]

Love the information

[@Azndave]

excellent interview, Brian is a good human

[@nosuchthing8]

Cryptography is MUCH older than WW2. There was the Caesar cypher 2000 years ago.

[@PrevailPal]

Thank you for sharing. May your day BE filled with more thankfulness, encouragement and forward thinking today....

[@whatThaWho]

I ❤ when people say Bitcoin has no real value because you can’t buy anything with it. Then you ask them when the last time they saw someone buy gas or a cup of coffee using gold, silver, palladium, or artwork. Bitcoin is an immutable store of value. To use Bitcoin to buy groceries would be the wrong utility.

[@Kid_Ikaris]

Peter Robinson is the most inside the DC beltway guy I've listened to. And you know what, I love him for it.

[@Peaceandfree]

This is interview has opened my eyes and made me so interested in investing into cryptocurrency

[@sharpenedge]

Study Bitcoin. Forget "crypto". Bitcoin only.

[@marklane870]

Deflationary money 💰 Bitcoin is the best thing thats happened in financial history

[@BlockchainShango]

Good morning. Forgive me if my tone comes off as crass, but at 2:00 Mr. Armstrong's...reply, is insufficient. Coinbase has been around more than long enough to not have the issues they have had for years. I am sure his words will help people take their first steps into the world of digital assets, so I am grateful for that. But, I advise caution to all who listen to him. His stance leans toward "centralization" which goes against a better way forward for money. Those who favor centralization may as well stick with the current system that is failing us, today. Pleas do your own research and ensure any decisions you make are as informed as possible. Take care, everyone.

[@jordangaudio6729]

This was a great video. I've not watched many interviews with Brian aside from the CNBC clips. The man is clearly a very strong leader. I have no coinbase but I do have crypto. If I was to invest in a crypto stock it would be coinbase

[@philipgrombliniak5651]

Thanks for continuing updates I'd rather trade the stock market as it's more profitable. I make an average of $34,500 per week even though I barely trade myself.

[@bradleywellington8624]

I'm favoured financially, Thank you Jesus $32,000 weekly profit regardless of how bad it gets on the economy.

How ..? Am a newbie in crypto investment, please can you guide me through on how you made profit?

[@trentpharmer]

i dont understand all the drama about the app going down, i check my pnc app literally like 4 times a month and half the time it doesnt fucking work or load and on top of that they dont let you do shit on weekends lmao

[@kryptotrader4699]

great Stuff, nice guy! 💪

[@Web3WondersUS]

50:53 Important insights, the lens of those who lived through the depression is different. The best way ' to ensure the survival of USA' 53:25 - excellent focus.

[@WHATISUTUBE]

Lex Luther on the interview chair today

[@shanepannell227]

Epic interview

[@sharpenedge]

Terrible interview. Brian runs a casino, and the interviewer naively confuses "crypto" with Bitcoin.

[@KYFHOme]

This was great interview. The only annoying thing was how Brian falls back on Bitcoin when he wants legitimacy or understanding, but his business is now mostly about alt coins, which in my opinion ARE mostly securities, and most of them are of dubious merit. I'm personally willing to let the market decide their merit but it appears the SEC is not.

[@sharpenedge]

Exactly. Brian is full of shit and he knows it.

[@darbyheavey406]

The effective altruism argument should have settled any debate.

[@YepTriedToTellYou]

If you’re relying on Brian Armstrong as your source then you didn’t do your due diligence.

[@choiceblade]

Problems and solutions cancel each other out. If you don't have a solution, you STILL have a problem. If you do have a solution and just aren't aware of it, then you've lost contact with the reality of your surroundings....that problem is just in your head. Naturally my pre existing mental maps must compete for attention inside me and relevance outside of me. The more maps (years I've lived and learned), often the higher the stack of prior mental maps I need to plow through to arrive at an objective, current, accurate evaluation of each new map I encounter as I traverse an ever-changing terrain.

[@Web3WondersUS]

Tension stated mission of freedom vs fiduciary duty to investors - CEO great answer alignment 20:56 kudos!

[@mallred32]

Great interview with Brian, looking forward to an interview with Richard Heart, It's probably 2-4 years away, but I'll just drop his name here and wait for the interview in a few years.. Crypto is going through big transformations, and it'll be more and more exciting as time goes on.

[@sirgalahad1470]

The video never addressed the subject line "Why Bitcoin will take over the world". Just sayin'
