[Wrong Think]

He really, really understands things on a much, much deeper level than 99% of people, including those in this space. He is at a genius level.

Great Interview I love to hear the common sense strategy from Amir. The Bitcoin ideology of freedom from the oppressive monetary system is fantastic. At some point we (humans) hopefully, will fully comprehend and understand currency is NOT a necessity for a conscious civilization. I pose the question to those who are not fully aware (no judgement), if the entire monetary system including gold, cash, credit cards, crypto, etc... were to disappear tonight, what would our society look like? Most would answer chaos, massive crimes, total destruction.... and i would agree humanities current condition is so intellectually depleted (by design), that would be the unfortunate outcome. However, with a clear understanding of Natural Law and what "Rights" are according to God's Universal spiritual Laws (or whoever created this reality - it's not really important who). Our suffering is due to our own ignorance of how reality truly works. Don't cause harm, yet don't take shit...(self-defense) - We are all connected, unfortunately most don't understand this simple concept..... "If you could only see, we would ALL be Free"...

[What Ever]

Wow Amir has really upped his public speaking game! This is really great. Congrats Amir, you now sound like a normal coherent person while dishing out revolutionary ideas and attacking the status quo. ~5 years ago you sounded like a deranged conspiracy theorist on national television. It was super cringy to watch (no offense), but now, I just want to sit here and watch the full 50 minutes. You sound like a philosopher. Way to go.

[Maximilian Musterhans]

Stopping to take drugs has done wonders.

Bitcoin 2011: Banking the unbanked, free from centralised financial control. Bitcoin 2018: Maybe, just maybe of we're lucky enough Citibank will open a Bitcoin trading desk. Amir isn't radical, what's radical is the speed of conformity that set in.

[Maximilian Musterhans]

They suceeded in pacifying the movement.

[Juliana]

You asked about the strategy, the mission and the vision that conferences like this should discuss or wrap up. The truth is that everyone knows what decentralization movement is all about but no one has the guts (that you have) to speak up against Central Banks and tyrannical governments. A payment system that gives autonomy to people and some sort of anonymity already encountered enough persecution from authorities. You should guide the strategy to build the next generation of DApps. 😉☮️

[Antony Northcutt]

Wow that was super!!

[Mehdi Raash]

Just let him continue talking!

[Cambodian River Pig]

This chick works for some intelligence agency. She fits the profile

[MarkOates]

lol this interviewer trying to control Amir

[SAAD'S]

Amir Taaki @Narodism he stole 11 #Bitcoin from me and others, and runaway to Syria and joined killer groups just to miss guide the UK government about bitcoin he stole through his exchange company, Now his back toLondon is there any chance to arrest him before he runaway again?

[P.M.]

next talk without Ashley.

[Good Work PE]

I challenge his statement, the smart and skillful pyramid workers were not recruited from slaves, the Pharaoh cared for the pyramid workers even paid them bread and beer, also the pyramids are not just a pile of stone, today archaeologists are still discovering NEW things about the pyramids like electrical frequency harmonics etc. The Egyptians were a decentralized civilization more than you think. Amir uses too many words to say something that is common sense, that is centralized bank regulations and government regulations stifle innovation, creativity, and freedom, but he does look like the 300 Gladiator guy.

Too bad the pyramids weren't built by the pharaohs.
