Why did so many people buy into bitcoin at the end of 2017? These questions were part of the monthly live Patreon Q&A session on March 31st.

In this talk, Andreas opens with a contrarian perspective. It's not about "beyond bitcoin", and you can't put this technology on a leash to make it more palatable. Bitcoin is the real thing, the revolutionary and disruptive technology that can't be tamed. Bitcoin is punk rock and you can't turn it into smooth jazz just to satisfy the sensibilities of a timid boardroom. This talk was delivered on July 8th 2015 during the "Beyond Bitcoin, Unleashing the Blockchain" session of Wired Money 2015, hosted by Wired Magazine and Spanish Banking Group BBVA in London, the United Kingdom: https://archive.fo/Vq796 RELATED: Keeping Digital Communities Weird - https://youtu.be/1MG1aR71uFg Blockchain vs. Bullshit: Thoughts on the Future of Money - https://youtu.be/SMEOKDVXlUo Money as a System-of-Control - https://youtu.be/FyK4P7ZdOK8 The Stories We Tell About Money - https://youtu.be/ONvg9SbauMg Bitcoin: Privacy, Identity, Surveillance and Money - https://youtu.be/Vcvl5piGlYg ADISummit: Self-Sovereign Identity Panel - https://youtu.be/DZbyiJqKT8c Andreas M.

How will the traditional financial system adapt to cryptocurrencies? Legacy systems (banks, like horse-and-carriage) are delaying the inevitable. Some people will see the future earlier than others and leave banks. How do we ensure that Bitcoin remains an open and decentralised system in the face of enterprise encroachment? What is at stake? How the internet killed the phone industry. Bitcoin's killer app is about changing how money works. Etheruem is about reinventing the modern corporation. These questions are from the Polish Bitcoin Congress (Polski Kongres Bitcoin) Warsaw, Poland, the HoshoCon event, and the October Patreon Q&A session, which took place on May 12th, October 11th and October 27th 2018, respectively.
