I would of loved to have discovered this video 5 years ago, but at least it’s better than discovering it 5 years from now!
Even though people say I’m early I still feel so late…
Best time to plant a tree is 20 years ago. Second best time is today.
If bitcoin could go 1million we’re still early!
He’s done a wonderful job explaining a very technical philosophy in a very simple way.
Powerful information. I enjoyed his discussion of the scale of this technology and what it means.
Really loved your presentation. People so need to become educated about this industry!! Thanks for this.
Gotta give him props on this one. There’s a lot of ppl who love the space but cant explain it if someone asked. He explained it pretty well for noobs to understand. ?
“As long as you can afford my fee”..Thank you for the clear explaination..Excellent examples.
Wow, I can barely believe this presentation is from 2015. This guy literally predicted the future. Cryptocurrency is exploding at the moment
@Max Power It’s been a beautiful three years max
@Zelda Alva And have a look at the crypto market now.
@Reg and 2 years later it went up even harder, hopefully you gained a lot
@Steven Morrissey nana – not really 😉
Blockchain/ bitcoin is the future!
This information is interesting enough to where I don’t care if the speaker has to read cards. I want to hear it read from his notes and it makes sure he covers everything, he doesn’t have to try and act natural, just deliver the goods.
Such a good video which lead me to invest in the new cryptocoin called Telecoin. With this in mind Telecoin has been created to provide users freedom and fair governance, whilst giving a secure and private medium of transaction.
With a network that supports master node capabilities, Telecoin understands that for those who support and help to strengthen the network, a fair reward system should be implemented to give back to the projects community.
Great job man!
Great talk!
very well done speech
Fast forward to 02/2022 I wish I knew all that before last year Bull Run in the Crypto market. Lots of amazing info. Thank you.
He does a better job than Antonopoulos of contrasting the slow speed of money transfer globally with other technologies (telecommunications and internet) that are blazing fast by comparison.
Fantastic talk!
I invested in Bitcoin after watching this video in 2021. Bitcoin is the future for sure
I wish i saw this 3 years ago and not found out about the amazing blockchain back in december
We all deserve the price of bitcoin! Some have known bitcoin below 100 usd and never bought one
Well said??
Thats great presentation. Everyone agree that technologies are the future. I mine ethereum and in my opinion, all he said in 2015 is true this days.
Coming from my little current knowledge of crypto currency, I think it would be beneficial to power a mining rig through *solar energy* to reverse energy costs that would otherwise be issued through conventional hydro-supply.
Outstanding foresight!!!
I agree with you! Great idea!
