BITCOIN: Use of Force and Consequences
Two years ago Andreas M. Antonopoulos has opened account at Steemit under his usual @aantonop nickname. Unfortunately, he only sent one, confirmation post five months ago, and stayed inactive since. Therefore, I’m sending this excellent Interview, because it has to be seen…
Control is illusion, and maintaining the illusion of control with the illusion of power — is delusion!
— Andreas M. Antonopoulos
James West from the MidasLetter.com opens usual questions that any crypto newcomer would ask. And Andreas M. Antonopoulos, one of the world’s foremost bitcoin and open blockchain experts, answers those questions with patience and clarity necessary for anyone who wants to understand the New World:
00:30 Difference between bitcoin and blockchain
02:00 Bitcoin as a threat to governments and illusion of control
04:17 Revolution — returning back to the individual financial sovereignty
05:50 Fascist dream

09:30 System of deterministic anarchy
10:04 Equilibrium force and why it is not possible for the state issued currency
14:21 Race to the bottom and the day after
17:15 Attempt of government suppresion…
18:25 Peculiar things in monetary crisis and turning guns around (Hey Andreas, it is not Albania, it is Romania — obviously not an expert on geography, right? 😊)
20:15 Room on fire
21:35 “Traveling” without moving (No, it’s not Frank Herbert)
22:30 The nature of decentralization
23:30 Money as data, transferrable over any media of communication
25:00 Neccessity is a mother of invention

Andreas M. Antonopoulos — Why developers are leaving banks (Text in Serbian, but the video is in English)
In 2014, Antonopoulos authored the groundbreaking book, Mastering Bitcoin (O’Reilly Media), widely considered to be the best technical guide ever written about the technology. His second book, The Internet of Money, unveiled the “why” of bitcoin—and became a bestseller on Amazon— and led to the wildly successful follow-up The Internet of Money Volume Two. His fourth book, Mastering Ethereum (O’Reilly Media) will be available in the fall of 2018.

He might post again!
He is a lecturer for the @mscdigital (Master in Digital Currency by University of Nicosia) and they joined steemit a few weeks ago! ☺
Very good news, @katerinaramm, thank you :)
euclid is taught heavily within secret societies and andreas knows way to much about euclid to be trusted...
blockchain's mysterious beginnings and it's apparent ease at being tracked and cataloged has the new world order stamp all over it.
i have said this before, blockchain is the ultimate surveillance tool thus independent blockchain currencies will be outlawed in every single country in favour of a controlled blockchain systems that will include damn near every single aspect of your life including currency...
new world order is coming fast and hard.
Wrong, @cubitknot. NWO is a disease, bitcoin is a cure.
nwo is bitcoin... always was.. no matter what people think bitcoin is going to be outlawed ...
sure you can hang onto it and trade it with other bitcoiners but will be worth nothing other than the intrinsic value your fellow bitcoiners place upon it...
mark my words - it's almost done now
Wrong on all points, @cubitknot :(
we shall see
