In this talk, Andreas covers the history of financial regulation in the United States, and how banks became the cop of last resort in countries around the world. He questions why we have come to accept totalitarian surveillance in our financial lives while protesting against other invasions of privacy. Finally, he argues that Bitcoin will thrive outside the golden cage of the banking cartel.
CORRECTION: At 13:19, I credit Edward Snowden with revealing that U.S. intelligence was tapping Chancellor Angela Merkel's phone calls. While those documents obviously contributed to verifying such activity, it was actually Der Spiegel who was primarily responsible for that finding:
