Earlier today my friend Morpheus texted me with a video.
Here's what he said

"I just saw an awesome Ted Talk on Bitcoin. Don Tapscott does an excellent job explaining how this technology will improve everyone's lives! You will want to see this..."

When Morpheus talks, I listen. He told me about SteemIt after all. So, I had to check out the video. I was not dissapointed - the video is great. It's gotten over 90,000 views in a week. To clarify, it's not just about Bitcoin - it's more about decentralization and blockchain technology in general. This is a great video to share with all of your friends.

There are some great quotes, here's one

The technology likely to have the greatest impact in the next few decades has arrived. It's not social media. It's not big data. It's not robotics. It's not even AI. And you'll be surprised to learn that it's the underlying technology of digital currencies like Bitcoin. It's called the Blockchain.

I believe that this is now the next generation of the internet, and that it holds vast promise for every business and society, and for all of you individually.

Here's the "official" video summary

What is the blockchain? If you don't know, you should; if you do, chances are you still need some clarification on how it actually works. Don Tapscott is here to help, demystifying this world-changing, trust-building technology which, he says, represents nothing less than the second generation of the internet and holds the potential to transform money, business, government and society.

Thanks For Sharing Morpheus!
