Crypto 101 | VIDEO: Just Released: Andreas Antonopoulous: Bitcoin Q&A: Decentralized power, leaderless governance (9 mins) - Super practical resource here today!! (Other videos inside post also)

---

Andreas M. Antonopoulos is an early pioneer, adopter & educator in the Bitcoin/Crypto space if you have not heard of him.

He routinely puts out some of the best information going. He speaks plainly and simply with some humour!

---

-- Andreas' Logo he uses for his branding, he is fun. That is the top of his head, looking down.

LOL.

---

He travels the world preaching the Bitcoin, Liberty, Crypto and Blockchain gospel and is one of the most well respected lecturers and teachers in the crypto world!

---

I always include a library of AA's videos in these posts, just like he does in every one of his YT channel videos. These are things for you to use, save, watch, share, and learn from if you have time now or come back to later if you wish. It's here to help you, with extra resources.

--

This resource showed up in my email inbox recently, have a watch, share it with those who are learning.

Bitcoin's market-based governance system & the five consensus constituents: developers, miners, exchanges, merchants, wallets. Bitcoin's "election" is held every 10 minutes and determines the most valid, longest cumulative difficulty chain. Consensus choices have monetary consequences.

We need to be patient and have the long-view perspective. Many innovations have been developed over the last two years while bitcoin has been in political deadlock and "failing to scale." This is a system of hard promises that can be softened (if you choose), that resists takeover, that is leader-less. Some people love free human expression and autonomy; others look at it and think, "Oh, you mean there's a vacancy at the top? Where do I send my application?"

The things we accept and the choices we make today, as participants in this network, will make a huge difference 20 years down the line.

This is part of a talk which took place at the 'Bitcoins in Bali' meetup on June 27th 2017 at the Hubud co-working space in Ubud, Bali, Indonesia: https://antonopoulos.com/event/bitcoi...
