What is Bitcoin? And Why Should I Care? - Jeremy Allaire @ MIT Bitcoin Club

[@CRIresearch]

I was there. It was great. Jeremy's passion is powerful, and what's really impressive is how well he understands the world of finance. Nice job Dan for putting this together as well.

[@Matthew_D]

This video is almost 10 years old. If you think you're late to Bitcoin, you're not. You are still early.

[@trojan3740]

Fantastic talk from an industry thought leader. Would it be possible to view the slides from the presentation?

[@flavius22]

10 tears later, nothing much changed except price 😅🥂

[@ChiefYouTubeOfficer]

18:55 I never thought about it in that way, that in theory, Bitcoin are divisible up to 8 decimal points, so the 21 million can be divided infinitly

[@broli720]

Great stuff. Thanks for posting.

[@AlexSGabor]

CFTC and NY State Banking Commission now treat Bitcoin and its relatives that use the open source currency creator (blockchain tech) as a commodity.

[@jasonfuerstenberg2241]

+jeff sparky Well, at least ColdFusion.

[@brandonkelly9887]

Thank you for this, I supported it before but the information and opinions here really give me a further support. It all makes sense. I'm actually getting involved in Litecoin and Dogecoin as a miner. Missed the boat on Bitcoin. But I feel all of them are a wave of the future in a more centralized economy.

[@webby459]

I wonder, do you still think you missed the boat on btc?

[@flavius22]

Ofc. He didnt buy. It was too expensive lol. He mined s8coins lol

[@MarceloFerreira-wg8sq]

[@ImaginationHobbies]

first sentence out of his mouth and hes already politicking.

[@JohnFrancisShade]

What's MIT?

[@JohnFrancisShade]

Ah, now Google is something that I'm familiar with. That came out of Stanford. (I was just kidding, +hootis8, because Mr. Allaire made fun of Stanford. I didn't mean to offend you and your fellow alumni.)

[@baltakatei]

Bitcoin is interplanetary currency that is best introduced after a civilization has discovered spaceflight since long-term mining operations are best suited to use Dyson swarm solar collectors far from planetary habitats.

[@craigchalmers3491]

IM NOT WORTHY IM NOT WORTHY

[@RajKumar-os4pk]

Wow I wish I have watched this video early and earn money 💰

[@eliasadams5819]

[@slamblambacid]

People in Bitcoin community should ask themselves why bittorrent technology never thrived to mainstream. "Applications programming is a race between software engineers, who strive to produce idiot-proof programs, and the universe which strives to produce bigger idiots. So far the Universe is winning" Rick Cook

[@slamblambacid]

***** As I said..So far the Universe is winning

[@LibertarianRF]

Slam Blambacid that's Fuckn hilarious

[@jacksonknox5029]

Bitcoin in itself is perfect! Its pure math! But when you introduce joe bob and ray ray into the space ... Well now things get a little bit special😎

[@unclemunch]

will them coins go in the coke machine?

[@jacksonknox5029]

Its 2021 and yes dem coins go in the c me machines now via QR

[@ImaginationHobbies]

people have such a strong belief in this bitcoin system because they have a good understanding on its processes and how to manipulate it. i dont know about the rest of the world but ive never paid my bank anything. like nothing! why is traditional banking a problem? id rather not spend all my time online trying to solve math problems to make sure i dont go bankrupt or make sure im aligned with everyone else financially -_-

[@plasticman2011]

banks steal money through inflation. haven't you noticed the cost of living going up year to year?

[@johnpalma7265]

plasticman2011: How else are they going to pay their electric bill and the janitor?
