    UNSCRYPTED   Episode 25: Unprecedented: Rules Without Rulers Andreas M. Antonopoulos is a best-selling author, speaker, educator, and highly sought after expert in Bitcoin and open blockchain technologies. Andreas has written two best-selling technical books for programmers, “Mastering Bitcoin” and “Mastering Ethereum”.

Follow on Twitter: @aantonop Website: https://aantonop.com/ 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?

    Unstoppable Code: The Difference Between Can’t and Won’t

    UNSCRYPTED   Episode 22: Unstoppable Code - The Difference Between Can't and Won't Andreas M. Antonopoulos is a best-selling author, speaker, educator, and one of the world’s foremost bitcoin and open blockchain experts. Follow on Twitter: @aantonop Website: https://aantonop.com/ 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.

Follow on Twitter: @aantonop Website: https://aantonop.com/ 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.

    Bubble Boy and the Sewer Rat

    UNSCRYPTED   Episode 19: Bubble Boy and the Sewer Rat Andreas M. Antonopoulos is a best-selling author, speaker, educator, and one of the world’s foremost bitcoin and open blockchain experts. Follow on Twitter: @aantonop Website: https://aantonop.com/ In “Bubble Boy and the Sewer Rat,"Andreas delivers a whimsical security analysis of the open, public and decentralized Bitcoin system, compared to the closed, proprietary and centralized alternatives. He argues that the strategy of security by isolation has consequences for the ability of any computer system to build immunity. While it may not be pretty, being constantly exposed and attacked in the wild open internet will help Bitcoin achieve censorship resistance and thrive to a degree that private blockchains simply cannot.

Antonopoulos is a best-selling author, speaker, educator, and one of the world’s foremost bitcoin and open blockchain experts. Follow on Twitter: @aantonop Website: https://aantonop.com/ In “Bitcoin and the Banks: Five Stages of Grief,"Andreas examines the rise of "Blockchain" as an attempt by the banking status quo to dilute the disruptive potential of Bitcoin by removing its most interesting features.
