Video of my talk at the Philly Bitcoin Meetup: The Value of Bitcoin and BlockchainssteemCreated with Sketch.

in #bitcoin7 years ago (edited)

This week I was invited to speak at the local Philly bitcoin meetup.

Recently lots of people in Philly had asked my why bitcoin is valuable in the first place and if it actually can work. So I decided to get back to basics and talk about why I think bitcoin is going to change this world and why it is so valuable.

Here is the recording:

I hope this is helpful if the thought of a bitcoin price or the value and purpose of blockchains is weird or does not make sense.

Thank you for watching.

Great talk overall!

On a historical note: I had never heard of the Maasai people before, very interesting! Also, I can't resist pointing out that the French Revolution's depiction of a woman leading the assault you shared is not a representation of Jeanne d'Arc but of Marianne, a French symbol of reason and liberty. If she was a real person, Joan of Arc rather died 450 years before the beginning of the French Republic.

Hehe thx! Going to have to read up on this

This is good. I hear some people talk about bitcoin being a disruptive technology, but then they don't explain in a way that makes sense. Bitcoin as a foundational technology, and the subsequent examples you give for that is much more clear. I'll be watching this a few more times. Thank you.

Thank you I am glad it was useful!

Great job you are doing with this speech. I didn't watch the whole video, but I got a few impressions and I will use it to introduce people into BTC, if they ask me for detailed information.

Thx. Let me know if you have any feedback or things that are still open.

There is really no bitcoin team around NYC and if there was , I'd be the first one there , maybe we need to start something on our own and then we see opportunities open . @knircky

I would certainly would mind not coming to NYC for a Meetup.

That would be awesome and I'd love to create a meetup for other NYC members as well !

Excellent mate! You become a real btc star! upvoted

This is great, I would love to build or join a Bitcoin/Crypto team for my local area in Richmond VA.

thx for the re-steem. following

I'm sure that bitcoin can change this world and of course our life to. I very much agree with your opinion, Sir "I think bitcoin is going to change this world and why it is so valuable.", over the past few months I've been interested in learning about cryptocurrency and bitcoin course. By the way nice video Sir. Thanks for sharing this post to all of us.

Thank you!

Sweet thanks for taking the time to share. Saved the link for when I get home in a bit. Always good to have new angles to try to explain how blockchains work and what they are capable of. How many people came to that Philly Bitcoin Meetup.. I have yet to attend any, are they good? I live by Las Vegas so I'm sure there are good ones here from time to time..

very interesting!!!
