I would of loved to have discovered this video 5 years ago, but at least it's better than discovering it 5 years from now!
Even though people say I’m early I still feel so late...
If bitcoin could go 1million we’re still early!
Best time to plant a tree is 20 years ago. Second best time is today.
He's done a wonderful job explaining a very technical philosophy in a very simple way.
Gotta give him props on this one. There's a lot of ppl who love the space but cant explain it if someone asked. He explained it pretty well for noobs to understand. 👏
Man i wish i paid attention to this 5 yrs ago
Your not late at all
Be happy that it's not 5 years from now! 😁
Yeah I’m told I’m early in 2021 I sure don’t feel that way
"As long as you can afford my fee"..Thank you for the clear explaination..Excellent examples.
This information is interesting enough to where I don't care if the speaker has to read cards. I want to hear it read from his notes and it makes sure he covers everything, he doesn't have to try and act natural, just deliver the goods.
Great job man!
Great talk!
Really loved your presentation. People so need to become educated about this industry!! Thanks for this.
I wish I knew about this Ted talk I'd have been there!
So did you invest some?
Wow, I can barely believe this presentation is from 2015. This guy literally predicted the future. Cryptocurrency is exploding at the moment
It’s been 11 months since you commented on this video. Look at the crypto market now, the technology is growing at such a fast pace. We are well on our way to a smart economy.
Well not really read the Bible there is many stuff that is still coming..one world currency,one world government,one religion..and everyone will be microchipped with virtual money
lol wut?
it crashed hard, I lost everything :(
@@mrreginator The number of transactions using crypto currency is minute compared to all transactions. Also, the unified database copies that make it possible are also minute. The internet would not be able to handle the traffic, even in a relatively small country, if every transaction was via crypto currency.
I invested in Bitcoin after watching this video in 2021. Bitcoin is the future for sure
TedX sure knows how to pick em
Very underrated video.
HUGELY UNDERRATED!!
Well said👊🏼
I wish I saw this in 2015
I saw it in 2016, & it changed my life.
i wish i see this in 2015. so just chill.
@@zoltanzoltan303 is a good day to be watchin today 😄
why am watching this in 2019 ?
nshuti freddy because it’s necessary 💯
Because you want to see what complete failure looks like. It was a nice idea in theory that never materialized, like Bernie Madoff's client returns.
@@andreas11735 Actually, Bernie Madoff retail client were fully compensated, their original principal investment amount was returned !
@@andreas11735 I think you can make the case that "blockchain" in general hasnt worked out just yet but to imply bitcoin is a failure just defies common sense. It was $500 when this video was made and it's now over $10k in just five years with no headquarters, no CEO, no marketing budget. It's more decentralized then ever, its scaling, it has huge development behind it. Bitcoin exemplifies success in every way.
Why am I watching this in 2020?
very good point view and decisions
Thats great presentation. Everyone agree that technologies are the future. I mine ethereum and in my opinion, all he said in 2015 is true this days.
He is talking about Ripple XRP
Fantastic talk!
Damn! That was a really good video!!
Succesfull presentation. Very well.
Terrific information.
very well done speech
Blockchain = The Future
00:59 hey increible video lo disfrute necesito el siguiente video los dejo les mando besis gracias
This is really new era!!!!!!!!
Really nice, i need your opinion about SciDex.
I wish i saw this 3 years ago and not found out about the amazing blockchain back in december
We all deserve the price of bitcoin! Some have known bitcoin below 100 usd and never bought one
Great presentation. When does skynet become self aware?
Presentation skills need improvement, but who cares when the content is good.

..oh! and ur skills are better? did u take his excellent advice and buy bitcoin? today after one year its up 10X over $7,300! long live the king! Bitcoin :)
Agree, felt like turning it off all the time but content is good
Informative & helpful! I learned more about how Crypto currency works, why it it's getting a lot of interests now, how it simplifies and cut red tape, more secure...and cheaper too!
+BenRickert you should be listening more. People don't care the shape, color, form etc of present or. Focus session for a purpose & walk out better informed.
Only on the internet can someone give you free content and people criticize the way it is delivered. Get over him throwing down index cards.. it was great info.
nice presentation and explanation. Beautiful. What has Nigeria got to do with what you said?
Lots of scams come from there. They'd swindle our financial system if it were not safe on blockchain.
IDK Ask the senators in Nigeria who said "Crypto has made our currency useless or worthless"
He could have just played any Andreas Antonopoulos video for the crowd and made his point much more clearly.
Agree.
ty good advice
That's a bit unfair, to compare him to someone who does talks on these subjects for many years at least a couple times a week. But I agree Andreas would have been a great speaker.
So then, not fair but accurate. I guess I can live with that ;)
LOL, well played. :-)
1:23 aloo increible video lo disfrute bastante deseo el nuevo grabación me despido les envio cariños gracias
Fast forward to 02/2022 I wish I knew all that before last year Bull Run in the Crypto market. Lots of amazing info. Thank you.
I approve
4:50-5:39 8:53-10:26 11:18-11:43 12:10-13:15
Absolutely!
Wish i saw this 2 years before. Bitcoin market cap today is 79.8 Billion USD instead of the 3.4 Billion said in the video.
Lol now its 650 Billion and once was 1 Trillion hope you HODLED
excellent!
Such a good video which lead me to invest in the new cryptocoin called Telecoin. With this in mind Telecoin has been created to provide users freedom and fair governance, whilst giving a secure and private medium of transaction. With a network that supports master node capabilities, Telecoin understands that for those who support and help to strengthen the network, a fair reward system should be implemented to give back to the projects community.
Am I the only one annoyed by him throwing the cards on the floor?
I also found it quite distracting.
says a lot about his character/attitude/personality.
put your rubbish in your own pocket ffs
This is exactly the narrow, officious attitude that defends the status quo of the tribe. His throwing paper on the floor is meaningless and trivial compared to what he is doing. Your comment would be much like watching a top surgeon and complaining that he threw a towel on the floor.
Vanessa ashley that's great you earned very well, but don't you think to make big amount of money you should invest in firm which have great vision like BlockGrain 's AGRI token , they have a very nice concept how to manage the hunger of the world by making digital supply chain . As in 2050 the world population becomes 10 billion , so to feed them we have to produce 70 % more that we are producing today. Management of all aspects of the agricultural industry is there in their services . No paper work , All digital this seems to bring revolution in agricultural industry . Their concept uses'AGRI' token which is used for transaction in these processes and they are open for SALE for public . You should check it .
1:23 hola!!! amazing video lo disfrute bastante espero el siguiente material me retiro les dejo kisses agradecido
Sending cash abrad takes me 2 minutes via Mpesa. We are already there up high with technology in Kenya. We can text cash.
M-Pesa has fees. That’s the point of blockchain, there’s no middle man to take a slice of your money.
good job
why no dustbin on that stage?. Next time keep in mind to arrange one :)
Coming from my little current knowledge of crypto currency, I think it would be beneficial to power a mining rig through *solar energy* to reverse energy costs that would otherwise be issued through conventional hydro-supply.
I agree with you! Great idea!
Outstanding foresight!!!
Watching this in 2021 like 👀👀👀👀👀
He does a better job than Antonopoulos of contrasting the slow speed of money transfer globally with other technologies (telecommunications and internet) that are blazing fast by comparison.
Nice video
Awesome talk! Smart Contracts are the future and and I wanted to make sure you were aware that Burstcoin has now become the first coin to actually get customer ready Smart Contracts working. Check out Burstcoin and see how Automated Transactions(aka Smart Contracts) are already possible today!
That did not age well my friend
It's market cap is almost 100x 3.3 billion today, at $256 billion :O
Nice WU mention .
cool!
ONCOIN is the answer , because it has more coin than any other out there. I think Blockchain technology is the best innovation of this century .
The most astonishing thing about this talk is that THIS GUY has a PhD in Communications... LMAO
Mobigl
Right!? All this dude has is a communications major and yet he literally pretty much called the future perfectly. To be able to see such drastic change half a decade in advance and only have a communications degree is amazing!!
Good day. TokenGo is an innovative platform for the future. The platform allows you to create your own crypto currency. There are many reasons why the founders of projects need to create their own crypto currency, such as providing a financial start-up, using a modern alternative way of financing, instead of looking for investments in traditional ways that have become complicated and expensive at the moment.
Payza lost my £10 bill when send from wallet to my bank how ?
Bitcoin are good but I want to see it become fast enough, both 'payment and clearing' first, otherwise it 'can't become a 'mainstream currency'. Other worries are it's mining costs, will they be passed onto us directly or indirectly and the real implication of halving the block and or increasing the size? Lastly,Is there some plan to have an accesible record those companies who accept bitcoin in the different countries?
Have a look at Coinspace, they have S-coin packages starting from 300euros. Coinspace actually mine for bitcoin so they are good!

are you guys interested in learning and taking part in cryptocurrency and network marketing as well as Coins (related to bitcoins)? if u are, then i would not mind sharing the multi billionair organization that i have recently joined..
THE blockchain or bitcoin wascreated in a think tank to covertly create a world currency a be one step from world government.If the authorities insisted for countries to adopt a world currency then many would reject the imposition .This way the vine climbs national fences and organically develop.
Until the internet stops.

Bitcoins value will eventually return to its true value.
Why not?
hotdog So will the US dollar. And the petro dollar.
The pyramid analogy is poor given the unfounded concerns of cryptocurrency's association with pyramid schemes...
Year baby already on it . Xrp .
If you would wave bought 1 BTC the day this video came out it would have cost $266.18. If you sold that one bitcoin the day I made this comment you would have sold for $1643.98
Mason May and 3 months later $4300
Simon De Villiers and two days later $4780

Blockchain is changing the world of money and gives a new meaning to cashless transactions. All cryptocurrencies take part in this process, of course, some - like Bitcoin - to a greater extent, others - like PrimeStone Coin - to a lesser extent. I do not know which cryptocurrency will become a leading tender, but definitely, money will be replaced with digital coins soon.
Yes a crypto currency can't be printed unlimitedly or counterfeited but what can stop an infinite variety of these critters from being created thereby totally defeating their power?
Emergent is a theory/science that is hard to explain and not much talked about. If we look around us, "emergent" is everywhere", especially when there is action in mass. That's the "Emergent" that he is referring to. You will find "emergent" in a lot of successes around and in nature. There is that force that make things happen even if there is no leader and everyone follows the force of "Emergent".
3:33 and I am like OMG, what is the point of this. Get to the crypto.
Still waiting for the transformation and I don't see it happening any time soon.
How bout now?

4000 usd soon boys
18k now 😁😁😁
This is a step in the right direction to free humankind from the slavery of the debt system instituted by the federal reserve bank. However, so long as we require labor for income, and income as a means to purchase basic necessities, there will still be massive inequalities. This will not change the fact the billions live in less then a few dollars a day. We must transition to a Resource Based Economy. Money is inherently elitist. Ones ability to obtain food, shelter, health care, transportation, and access to information should not be contingent on ability to pay. These are human rights.
None of those are human rights. Human rights are not commodity goods. Rights are freedoms of our behavior and have to do with the ability to pursue happiness openly and without obstruction. The idea of saying "health care is a human right" is an absurdity because health care is just a specific kind of human labor and nobody has the right to the labor of another individual. That would be called slavery, the absolute negation of human rights. The idea of a Resource Based Economy is anathema to all economic studies and will never work, given human nature, unless you have a limitless pool of energy, which will only come once we develop free energy sometime in the (possibly distant) future.
Just watched this and invested in Bitcoin now. Leave a comment here and come back in a few years.

An editor to keep the message tight and more prep on memory would have made this better. Poor execution, decent idea.
There's a fork coming up, MoneroV is the new coin (from Monero XMR) which is supposed to be airdropped soon. Hodl Monero for now. Thank me later mate.
Your speech was good. Right till the end. The undeveloped countries must stay undeveloped !! Because eventually the 1st world areas will run out of resources. And we'll have to move somewhere else. This will allow the world leaders and educators a longer time to develop the tech that will last us through the ages. If we develop the 2nd and 3rd world right now. The population will world population will explode !! All of the resources world wide will be used up at the same time. We'd have a huge population but only for a very short time. Then we all die before we can develop truly sustainable energy.
satansaysimnuts You do know that as countries develope the birth rate declines right?
satansaysimnuts OK you may have just woke up from a 25 year coma. We have all types of sustainable energy. We can also use sea water now. We will never run out of resources. Food is now manufactured not grown.

Hi Satoshi!
Can we own a bit coin without paying in currency
yes I'll trade you for a house
I hope you found out mining is the only way, other than earning BTC for work, goods, or services.
Bitcoin price today, 11/5/17 $7477. 00 😭 back them $266. I hope there's some juice left on bitcoins.
There is plenty, but you should be looking at LTC and always relay it to the BTC not the dollar
Bitcoin price today? 12/24/2017 14270.00. You are all going to miss the greatest transfer of wealth in human history.
We smashed through 51K today, hope you're still around.
Why didn't he just put his notes on an iPhone? lol
Why didn’t you invest into crypto why didn’t you grab 2500 ETH and 1.5mill electroneum why shm 🤦♂️🔫

An iPhone doesn’t really put the pyramids to shame- since we know how to build millions of iPhones but today with modern equipment we literally could not build the great pyramid.
The pyramid example at the start of this you stated as the first but many suggest it was the last.
Watching this Make me buying More Ripple (XRP) 🤣🤣🤣👍🏻.
Cryptocurrency gave a big impact to many crytpo enthusiast especially those who have gained a lot from bitcoin. I have invseted on LEDU COIN which I believe will give us different aspect of gaining through expert content creators and professionals. Whats your idea about this?
crypto coulb be change all thing in the world as revolution 4.0
You guys should check out Ethereum project, a game changer.
Are you rich a?😊😊😊
