In this talk, Andreas discusses the word of the season, unprecedented. Unprecedented pandemic, unprecedented job losses, unprecedented incompetence. Our institutions of governance have started to fail us and our narratives are broken. The narratives of the 20th century, the narrative of the nation state and associated institutions no longer apply. So what might governance look like if we had rules without rulers?

Episode 22: Unstoppable Code - The Difference Between Can't and Won't

In “Unstoppable Code: The Difference Between Can't and Won't," Andreas argues that what is interesting about both Bitcoin and Ethereum is unstoppable code. Cryptography and decentralized systems are defensive mechanisms to assert and enforce our human rights. Looking back on the effect of the Silk Road on public perception of cryptocurrencies, he warns the Ethereum community that they will soon need to reconcile diverse legal jurisdictions, and make an ethical decision about whether they will build "won't" or "can't" governance systems. What is the unstoppable code worth running?



This talk took place on February 16th 2019 at the EthDenver conference in Denver, Colorado.

In “Bitcoin's Origins and the Genesis Blockade," Andreas recounts the origins of Bitcoin and the meaning of the message that was embedded forever in its genesis block. In the last episode, he talked about the importance of investment in education as our best hope. Now he focuses on the financial blockade against WikiLeaks and who the banks truly serve, while trying to leave us none the wiser and with no other choices. What happens when money stops working? Why is censorship resistance one of Bitcoin's most valuable characteristics? What possibilities lay in store with a global, voluntary financial system?



This talk took place on August 6th 2018 at 'The Internet of Money Tour' at the Hilton Denver Inverness in Colorado.

In “Investing in Education Instead of Speculation," Andreas explains how education and training in the Bitcoin and open blockchain space can enrich your life in a sustainable way. Unlike speculating on a basket of crypto-assets and tokens, investing in skills is permanent, transferable across chains, and empowering.
