*Henri habla personalmente y no representando a ninguna empresa o institución de ninguna manera. Toda la información aquí descrita es nuestra interpretación y no necesariamente lo que Henri quiso decir. @HenriLieutaud es Developer Advocate en @StarkWareLtd, la compañía detrás de StarkNet y Cairo. Es profesor en la Escuela de Ingeniería Leonardo da Vinci en Francia. Antes aplicó los smart contracts para seguros. Hace alrededor de 8 años que se encuentra en el ambiente crypto. StarkNet está creando el futuro y presente de Ethereum. Hard y soft skills para hispanohablantes: -Aprender inglés. La lengua del internet es el inglés. -Curiosidad por conocer más cosas. Preguntar. -Intentar. No importa si las cosas no funcionan en el primer momento. -Las redes blockchain no son nada sin la comunidad. StarkNet se apoya en ellos. ¿Qué puede crear un desarrollador en StarkNet? -Almacenar datos. -Hacer cálculos, por ejemplo la inflación. -Crear algunos videojuegos basados en Ethereum. Por ejemplo, Axie Infinity. -Aplicaciones interesantes en ML. -Explorar datos de Ethereum fuera de la plataforma. -Codificar redes neuronales básicas y ejecutarlos en StarkNet. -Arte generativo. -En 3 años StarkNet podrá desarrollar muchos más proyectos porque estará en manos de millones de desarrolladores. Tips para aprender Cairo: -Para las personas que conocen de blockchain, el primer paso es revisar la documentación “Hello, StarkNet”. -Para los que quieren escribir programas; recomienda ver tutoriales. -Entender y utilizar smart contracts en Cairo. -Utilizar un poco Polygon y Ethereum. -Entender cómo funcionan los flujos. Qué sucede cuando se realiza una transacción. -Para los que tienen conocimientos avanzados, pueden leer el libro “Mastering Bitcoin” de Andreas Antonopoulos. -Una vez que se entiende un smart contracts, se recomienda crear uno en Solidity o Cairo. Ambos son lenguajes distintos, pero funcionan de forma similar. -StarkNet es una extensión de Ethereum. Llegará el momento en que Solidity y Ethereum serán en backend de Cairo y StarkNet. -Programar en Cairo es diferente a programar en Solidity. Tiene menos limitaciones. -Si aprendes Cairo puedes encontrar empleo como desarrollador rápidamente. ¿Por qué un programador en IA debería empezar en el mundo blockchain con Cairo y StarkNet? -Por la liquidez. Para hacer una aplicación similar a Ethereum o Solana, tendrás que manipular activos digitales. StarkNet es una extensión de Ethereum donde está la mayor liquidez del mundo. -Para crear cosas que puedan hacerse en otra cadena, StarkNet brinda descentralización. -Para crear cosas nuevas, StarkNet brinda mayores posibilidades. -En StarkNet todas las cuentas que tienen dinero son smart contracts. No puedes tener activos sin él.

On today's episode, We understand how blockchains work, and their two basic types. We also talk about DAOs, aka Decentralized Autonomous Organizations and why they're important. Binance launches in Idaho, Solana goes down…again! And some tech news regarding Meta, Tesla & SpaceX. For the full transcript, please read https://farezv.substack.com/p/farez-for-me-podcast-ep-3-what-is?s=w and subscribe to my newsletter to not miss any updates! What is a Blockchain? If you've ever seen an accounting ledger, you're already halfway there in your understanding of what a blockchain is. In simple terms, it's a connected list of records. Imagine a growing list of digital records, resembling real a life ledger book, known as blocks that are connected using cryptography. These blocks each have cryptographic signature associated with another block in the chain, a timestamp, and sometransaction data signifying the connectivity of the chain. This cryptographic signature is known as a hash, it's implemented in computer code and is essentially a one-way mathematical algorithm to obfuscate simple information into complex information. For example, there may be a function f(x) such that if x = hello, f(x) meaning f(hello) may return some value that resembles 0x43a5fc78 (which is some made up gibberish). There's no way for someone who reads 0x43a5fc78 to decode it back to the original message hello. This one-way nature of these hashing algorithms or hash functions as they're commonly known, ensures secure obfuscation of data (in this example, the term "hello"). Applying this same concept to blockchains ensures that each chain of blocks is unchangeable (especially by malicious 3rd parties). Here's how it works, from the book Mastering Bitcoin. Each block within the blockchain is identified by a hash, generated using the SHA256 cryptographic hash algorithm on the header of the block. Each block also references a previous block, known as the parent block, through the “previous block hash” field in the block header. In other words, each block contains the hash of its parent inside its own header. The sequence of hashes linking each block to its parent creates a chain going back all the way to the first block ever created, known as the genesis block. By the way, hashing is different from encryption. Encryption is two-way. Data obfuscated by encryption can be decrypted to be human readable again whereas hashing is a one way data obfuscation method. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/farezv/message

Another episode of Crypto Talks This time my guess is the one and only Andreas Antonopoulos.Make sure you sign up for my newsletter not to miss anything that I create/produce these days.

Andreas Antonopoulos explains bitcoin for beginners. I tried to make this conversation fun and easy to follow as a bitcoin "for dummies" (like me) and we tried to cover everything you need to know about bitcoin in 2021. Andreas M. Antonopoulos is a best-selling author, speaker, educator, and respected expert in Bitcoin and open blockchain technologies. He is an honest and trusted source of balanced information, highlighting both the positive and negative impacts these technologies can have on our global societies. What we covered: What is bitcoin, should you buy bitcoin, and what makes bitcoin so unstoppable? (+ much more!)

Location: Skype Date: Monday, 11th November Project: aantonop.com Role: Author & Public Speaker Welcome to The Beginner's Guide to Bitcoin Bitcoin can be intimidating for beginners. The protocol is complicated, the community can be aggressive and unforgiving, silly mistakes can lose you money, and it is easy to succumb to altcoin marketing.  Bitcoin does though, offer you the opportunity to hold a new type of monetary asset, one which can't be seized by the government and is censorship resistance and It has the potential to change the way the world.  The goal of What Bitcoin Did has always been about making things simple; there are no stupid questions, and the show is here to help beginners navigate this new world. To kick off 2020, we are launching a special series to help beginners understand Bitcoin. We will be looking at the basics from breaking down the protocol to explaining the economics and discussing the potential societal shift.  Part 1 - Andreas M. Antonopoulos on Why We Need Bitcoin Bitcoin is multifaceted. Some treat Bitcoin as a speculative tool for growing wealth, others as a way of avoiding financial censorship from traditional payment channels, and some use it as a way of claiming their monetary sovereignty and removing power from the banks and state. The real reason Bitcoin is essential is for all of these reasons and more. On 3rd January 2009, Bitcoin was introduced to the world by its pseudonymous creator (or creators), going by the name of Satoshi Nakamoto. Bitcoin brought with it an alternative to the banking system, a way of truly controlling your finances and to 'be your own bank'.  Being your own bank is incredibly powerful but is often a confusing and misused term. There are currently 1.7 billion people across the world who do not have access to proper banking services. Bitcoin can fix this by allowing users to hold, send and receive value. Cross-border payments are expensive and complicated using traditional banking and financial systems, and that's assuming the recipient has the means to receive payment. Bitcoin fixes this. Governments have a history of putting pressure on payment systems to stop allowing payments to recipients that they deem unfit. In 2010 Visa, Mastercard and PayPal all stopped allowing payments to WikiLeaks. Bitcoin fixed this. Bitcoin's power is in its decentralised, censorship-resistant, neutral, permissionless network that allows you to transact globally without any intermediary or third party and with whoever you want for whatever reason you want. Bitcoin doesn't care. We will soon be living in a cashless society, government-issued 'fiat' currency will become entirely digital, and we will wave goodbye to any remaining shreds of financial privacy that still exist. Some governments will look to create a cryptocurrency alternative; providing the perfect tool for increased financial surveillance and oppression and represents the antithesis of Bitcoin. So, maybe we will have to choose whether its Bitcoin or a state-run digital currency. Should we choose Bitcoin? This interview previously appeared on my other show Defiance and is a great starting point for the beginner's guide. Here I talk to Andreas M. Antonopoulos to find out. Andreas is a speaker and the best selling author of Mastering Bitcoin and The Internet of Money and is unrivalled in evangelising Bitcoin. Andreas explains why the current monetary and financial system is no longer fit for purpose and why Bitcoin may be the answer.

Are ICOs disruptive, democratic venture capital? Or bubbles fueling greed? Obviously, both. We're re-defining entrepreneurial capitalism, corporations, securities, fundraising, stock markets - everything financial and the regulatory system around it. There is a certain contingent that is looking at ICOs and revealing their very statist, traditional ideas. The SEC, securities law, and restrictions on initial public offerings came out of an initial environment that was a crazy bubble, but that kind of regulation is the old way of dealing with things. This ICO bubble will have negative consequences and people will malinvest. It's still created an opportunity to do something never done before: bridge the big gap between early-stage organic financing and stock market public offerings, for companies to fundraise from a completely globalised audience. What can we do with programmable money that's decentralised, re-imagines funding and escrow structures, with protections driven by crowdsourcing? If the crowd is funding, the crowd should be vetting. Banking is not the primary incumbent being disrupted, it is regulators and the institutional, centralised regulatory environment as well. In the meantime, I will not be investing in 99.999% of these ICOs because I don't invest in minimally viable whitepapers.

Will criminal elements leverage cryptocurrencies? Criminal organizations as early adopters of technology, operating at the nexus of highest risk and highest reward. Money, by definition, is something you can use to buy anything. The more restrictions it comes with, the more it loses the fundamental principle of medium of exchange. I bet it's a lot easier to buy drugs with the New Zealand dollar than it is with bitcoin. Criminals will use money, but what we need to understand is that the tool is not the crime and has never been the crime. 99% of humanity is going to use money and other tools to feed our children, give them healthcare, education, and a better future. I'm not concerned with solving crime through attempting to control money. The organization you give the absolute power over money to, will become the criminal and punish not other criminals but their political opponents.

How much bitcoin do you have? What percentage of our wealth should be in bitcoins? A percentage that reflects your understanding of how the technology works and your ability to absorb the risk that it entails. However it also depends on what country you're in, because the volatility and risk in bitcoin may be better than your national currency. This is not a recommendation to invest; I have dedicated to career and my passion, I could lose all of it and still have everything else. Invest in education instead of speculation. Note: Yes, I know - this video is now out of date. The advice about risk tolerance and focusing on education still stands.

This is the second part of the answer to the question: "What are the rules within Bitcoin?" How does robust consensus and decentralized decision-making affect the predictability of the system? How does this compare to certainty and predictability within traditional financial institutions, such as interest rate changes? I can't predict what the U.S. interest rates will be next year, but I can predict what the rate of distribution (block reward) of bitcoin will be in 100 years.

Keywords/phrases: Who determines the value of bitcoins? Everyone, through market forces of supply and demand in international liquid markets that operate around-the-clock. A fundamental difference between bitcoin and the USD/GBP/Euro etc. is that trading never ceases; it has been continuous for 7 years. The volatility can be a roller coaster, yet if you look at the long-term trend, volume and transactions go up while volatility keeps dropping. For Argentinians and Brazilians, the price of bitcoin is not too volatile and you don't need to sell it to them, because they already understand the separation between state and money is a good idea. Volatility is relative. ABOUT Andreas M. Antonopoulos is a technologist and serial entrepreneur who has become one of the most well-known and well-respected figures in bitcoin.

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.
