Crypto 101 | VIDEO: Andreas Antonopoulous: Bitcoin / Crypto Hist...

Andreas M. Antonopoulos is an early pioneer, adopter & educator in the Bitcoin/Crypto space if you have not heard of him.

He routinely puts out some of the best information going. He speaks plainly and simply with some humour!

-- Andreas' Logo he uses for his branding, he is fun. That is the top of his head, looking down.

LOL.

He travels the world preaching the Bitcoin, Liberty, Crypto and Blockchain gospel and is one of the most well respected lecturers and teachers in the crypto world!

I always include a library of AA's videos in these posts, just like he does in every one of his YT channel videos. These are things for you to use, save, watch, share, and learn from if you have time now or come back to later if you wish. It's here to help you, with extra resources.

This resource showed up in my email inbox recently, have a watch, share it with those who are learning.

In this talk, Andreas ponders the concept of "killer apps" within the constraints and capabilities of blockchain ecosystems, and what the essence of Ethereum is.

He also examines the recent influx of money sharks and ICO hype, and what happens when we're too excited to resist the siren song of riches and pass an engine test before aiming for the big boom of a moon orbit. A rocket is what happens when you do governance on explosives, and great power requires even greater responsibility.

This talk took place on March 15th 2017 during the Cape Town Ethereum meetup at the Deloitte Greenhouse in Cape Town, South Africa: https://antonopoulos.com/event/cape-t...
