Highly recommend for everyone:

Bitcoin Neutrality - Andreas Antonopoulos
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jy6XIBnThpY&feature=youtu.be

This was two weeks ago here in Argentina. This guy is a beast. He was the best speaker of the conference.

Great video, thanks for sharing, watching here...

Should I continue to listen past 5m19s? He already said he doesn't regard Bitcoin a currency and that he thinks the USD is superior. I already want to smack him twice. Does his talk improve?

Yes im at 16 min. and it gets better

I like his opinion on fungibility.

Edit:

Haha @ "Fuck off, Bitcoin works fine!" he just scored points. And now disrupting nation states. He should just skip the first 15 minutes of his talk.

Oh it's done @ 23:30. I loved the final few minutes. I don't understand what all the rest was about, it sounds like they replaced the speaker in the end. The first 15 minutes is just politically correct, untrue bull shit.

Bitcoin is WAY better than any fiat currency. Hell, Litecoin is better than any fiat currency, hell any PM is better than any fiat currency. Fiat currencies SUCK. Saying USD is better than Bitcoin makes me nauseous
and I wouldn't be able to say it out loud without making a face.

I was thinking the same, but I remembered my co-workers who are BTW all IT engineers and how hard was it to explain the concept of Bitcoin to them and even when I did they still think that Bitcoin is a scam or monopoly money, his method can be a great approach to people like my co-workers....but it is too late I am out of energy and I give up, it is their lost anyways

Also his answer to the second to last question proves he doesn't believe in the long term value of Bitcoin. He thinks ~6 crypto's will end up sharing the market and Bitcoin not being one of them. Wow, I see this as a possibility but certainly not the most likely.

the definition of short term varies from a person to another, when we talk about the short term future of bitcoin we usually mean 5-10 years (on the speculation board means 1-2 weeks Cheesy

) but I "think" in order for bitcoin to continue to mainstream and "survive" there are a lot of things has to be addressed short term ( we are still on the 5-10 years) like the block size limit, transaction fees, the selfish miner issue,regulation.....

the point is that if these issues wont be addressed there will be another alt (not a single from the existing ones) created that solves all existing issues and this is my biggest fear
