What is Consensus? Rules without Rulers
Who is in charge of Bitcoin? Why is it so hard to change the rules? The governance model of Bitcoin, where there can be transparent and neutral rules without rulers, without regulators, is confusing to most people. A system with rules, without authority. A talk at the Bitcoin Association in Sweden.

my biggest question that i get asked a lot is how can something be that valuable if you cant even hold it!! i give them a couple different answers on this. first i tell them to take a deep breath and ask them if they can see the air they breath can they hold it in there hands of course they tell me no and i ask them well how valuable is the air you breath. then i ask them what makes the almighty dollar so valuable and most say well its backed by gold lol. i let them know that its not actually backed by anything other than the word of our government and i ask them do you actually trust the government to control pretty much every aspect of your life. i said ok what if i told you that i have a money that is governed by the people and anyone can look at what is going on with the transactions so there is no secrets, no 10 million dollar roles of toilet paper being bought. this is what crypto brings to the world a way to take the control of money away from the government and give it back to the people where it belongs
Brilliant.
Consensus is really crucial.
Very true.
Good night. Thanks :>
Great work, I always send people to your youtube videos if they are interested in grasping the concepts of decentralised crypto currencies and their applications.
