Chapters
0:00 Introduction
1:16 How old is the technology of money?
4:16 I think the important insight is that money is a form of communication
5:41 How many different forms of money have we had?
9:33 Now we have Bitcoin, a pretty radical transformation; as radical as the change from precious metals to paper
11:51 Something happened with the invention of the internet
12:56 Bitcoin is the first network-centric, protocol-based form of money
14:35 It should be shocking that, in almost all countries, money is not part of the educational curriculum
15:50 Client-server and master-slave architecture
19:00 In Bitcoin, you don't owe anyone anything and no one owes you anything
21:37 Aristotle said that the intrinsic value of gold was scarcity. Do you believe that the same thing goes for bitcoin?
25:36 The Banks are now getting into Blockchain. You have nine banks creating a consortium and they're competing with blockchain ETC. What are your thoughts on this?
28:54 What in your opinion are the biggest threats or problems at the moment in the Bitcoin Ecosystem?
30:39 Talking about public and private, I think that the internet is considered as a common good. Do you see bitcoin as a public, private, or common good or is there a new term for it? How can we use it for public goals?
33:09 You talked about properties of good money, and in the light of the news I saw about bitpay blacklisting a transaction. I Would ask you if you have worries about the phone's ability of Bitcoin due to the trackable nature
35:39 Mr. Miller Cope was telling us that China and Russia are getting a lot of gold and that the States are more or less bypassed in this section. Does it mean that the United States has seen the light now and go for bitcoin?
This talk was delivered on September 26th 2015 for the "Reinvent Money" conference at Erasmus University in Rotterdam, the Netherlands:
