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.

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.

UNSCRYPTED   Episode 16: One of a Kind - Why Bitcoin is 'The Next Bitcoin' 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 “One of a Kind: Why Bitcoin is 'The Next Bitcoin,'" Andreas addresses the speculation about what will be the "next Bitcoin" or the "next Ethereum." Echoing previous talks like 'Invest in Education Instead of Speculation,' he argues that the focus on searching for the best investment or time to buy amid a sea of pump-and-dump schemes is a worse way to spend your time than gathering knowledge about how these systems work. He also tells the story about how he bought bitcoin for the first time, why it is not the get-rich-quick scheme you may think it is, and the ways they could fail. This talk took place on July 12th 2019 at the Athens Bitcoin and Blockchain Tech meetup in Athens, Greece.

UNSCRYPTED   Episode 14: Bitcoin - A Swiss Bank In Everyone's Pocket 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 “Bitcoin: A Swiss Bank in Everyone's Pocket," Andreas examines the morality of technology and the politics of fear, including former President Barack Obama's infamous statement that broad adoption of cryptography and cryptocurrencies would be like having "a Swiss bank account your pocket." In the last episode, he questioned the viability of Facebook’s Libra project. Now he analyses how the same fear mongering is being used to target journalists and whistleblowers who use these tools to expose war crimes. Once we equip more people around the world with the equivalent of a Swiss bank in their pocket, the overwhelming majority would use it to pursue happiness, healthcare, and a better life for their children.

While the quote was interpreted to have an impact on Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies, Obama was not specifically talking about cryptocurrencies. Instead, the statement was made in the context of the Apple vs. FBI legal battle, and whether consumer devices like the iPhone should have strong encryption that the government can't crack.

UNSCRYPTED   Episode 13: Libre Not Libra - Facebook's Blockchain Project 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 “Libre Not Libra: Facebook's Blockchain Project," Andreas answers the burning question… Has he tried haggis? Just kidding… He shares his thoughts on the recently released Libra whitepaper, as part of a permissioned blockchain project spearheaded by Facebook. Years of jokes about “FaceCoin” and “ZuckBucks” have finally come to life - sort of. In the previous episode, he talked about how some venture capitalists are monkeying around by downplaying the killer applications of open blockchains  in favor of… bananas. Now he makes us wonder whether Libra will even survive to become a production network. Is Silicon Valley coming for banking? Will Libra’s challenges have any impact on open public blockchains?

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 “The Killer App: Bananas on the Blockchain?” Andreas focuses on the two main killer apps in the open blockchain ecosystem: sound money and governance. In the last episode, he advocated for universal access to basic finance. Now he shoots back at the elitist finance tycoons who say they “don’t need cryptocurrencies,” while prioritising venture capital funding towards projects that lack all of an open blockchain’s best features. He argues that their failure to consider the broader needs of the other six billion people. Watch out for those banana peels, Mr. Buffet!

UNSCRYPTED   Episode 11: Universal Access to Basic Finance 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 “Universal Access to Basic Finance,” Andreas advocates for protecting and expanding access to universal basic finance. Echoing previous talks like “Worse Than Useless,” he explains why the question of how cryptocurrencies should be regulated is a distraction, and that eradicating cash will not affect the most powerful bad actors, who operate with state-sponsored impunity and banking licenses. He also declares that those who develop surveillance infrastructure have exhibited moral bankruptcy and should face a period of scrutiny over their ethical integrity.

While they legally can, it is usually in a relatively very restricted capacity. To buy or sell property, particularly if high-value, they often require the support of multiple men. Claims on property are held in higher regard when they come from men rather than women. Women can use bank accounts as long as they have permission from their male guardian(s). They have only recently been encouraged to pursue home ownership themselves. Furthermore, LGBT persons, including those identifying as women, have next to no protections under the law.

UNSCRYPTED   Episode 8: Worse Than Useless 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 “Worse Than Useless: Financial Surveillance,” Andreas draws a connection between medical pseudoscience and the financial totalitarian surveillance, as practiced by modern banks and state intelligence agencies. He explores the hidden externalities and moral hazards inherent in KYC/AML policies and how overblown / misplaced concerns about so-called “black money” are disconnecting countries and even continents from the world economy. Why is it common sense that money laundering is the fundamental business of fully-licensed, regulated banks? Who runs the real "dark net"? He urges that, before we try to “fix” the financial system, we should first be sure we are not making it worse.

UNSCRYPTED   Episode 7: Money as a System of Control 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 “Money as a System of Control,”Andreas reviews the three functions of money that you may remember from your first introduction to economics: store of value (SoV), medium of Exchange (MoE), and unit of Account (UoA). But what if there is actually a fourth use of money which subordinates all the other functions? In the last episode, he prompted you to think about whether you really understand what money is; now he prompts you to question whether the money in your bank account is really yours. He also argues that our monetary systems have become an extrajudicial tool of state actors to exert political influence over large populations, where freedom of speech and association can be snuffed at the bank.

UNSCRYPTED   Episode 6: Escaping the Global Banking Cartel 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 “Escaping the Global Banking Cartel,” Andreas asks why we are familiar with the cartels in drugs and oil, but rarely acknowledge one of the largest cartels in the world: banking. In the last episode, “The Currency Wars,” he talked about Bitcoin providing an exit to those suffering from currency crises in their countries. Now he analyses recent (though often unacknowledged) history with the 2008 financial crisis, the corrupt revolving door with regulators, how kleptocracy is destroying democracy,  and why Bitcoin matters as an exit when voice is no longer an option.

In the previous episode, “Streaming Money,” he talked about the future possibilities of Bitcoin as money.

UNSCRYPTED   Episode 2: The Stories We Tell About Money 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 “The Stories We Tell About Money,” Andreas recounts the history of Bitcoin and what it represents, building upon all the stories we've been told over the centuries about what "money" is, how we perceive its value, and why the old answers have changed as we adjust to this new world of digital peer-to-peer currencies. In the previous episode, “Introduction to Bitcoin,” he talked about what Bitcoin is and why it is special. Now he also discusses global threats to economic stability and trust in the traditional financial system, including demonetisation and wealth destruction through inflation, which will be explored further in “The Currency Wars.” This talk took place on March 26th, 2017 at the JW Marriott Sahar International Airport in Mumbai, India. This series is called ‘Unscrypted’ for a reason: all of Andreas’ talks are performed without slides or notes. You can find any necessary corrections and clarifications in the podcast description.

Bitcoin’s whitepaper, written by Satoshi Nakamoto, was actually published on October 31st (or November 1st, in some timezones) of 2008. January 3rd was the date of the genesis block being mined, the start of the Bitcoin blockchain. At 38:26, Andreas talks about how a 2% inflation rate sounds innocuous to most people, because they can’t project the effect of that rate year-on-year in the long term. He says that a 2.2% inflation rate will result in 50% of the value or spending power of your savings being lost over a period of 10 years. The loss of spending power is actually closer to 25%. At 43:45, he also says, “In 2000, [about] 90% of the companies were wiped out in a single stock market wash-out,” referring to the dot-com crash. However, according to professors from the University of Maryland and University of California, about “48 percent of dot-com companies founded since 1996 were still around in late 2004, more than four years after the Nasdaq’s peak in March 2000,” though at much lower valuations. [Note from ANDREAS: In this talk I foolishly attempted to improvise math in my head while delivering the talk. I am not very good at math. Turns out I am even worse at improv-math. None of my bad math changes the point I was making. Ssssh! Don’t tell anyone I suck at improv-math.] ORIGINAL VIDEO: "The Stories We Tell About Money" - https://youtu.be/ONvg9SbauMg PREVIOUS EPISODE: "Introduction to Bitcoin" - https://aantonop.com/introduction-to-bitcoin/ NEXT EPISODE: "Forkology: A Study of Forks for Newbies" - https://aantonop.com/forkology/ SUPPORT: Want early-access to talks?

UNSCRYPTED   Episode 1: Introduction to Bitcoin 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 “Introduction to Bitcoin,” Andreas delivers an entry-level talk about how he discovered Bitcoin (twice) in 2011; the second time around, being consumed by a desire to learn more about this new form of network-centric currency and why it was so revolutionary not only in the field of distributed systems, but also in the evolution of money. He explores various topics in economics, psychology, technology, and game theory with current events, personal anecdote, and historical precedent that will be explored further in future episodes. This talk took place on September 16th 2016, at Singularity University's Innovation Partnership Program (IPP) conference in California. It is currently his most popular talk on YouTube.
