VSI'm a crypto idiot... Or at least I was before the gathering ... I watched the 101 session with Meltem and I gotta say she gave me the "a-ha" moment with the following comment: "What we're trying to here is change the relationship between power and money, we're separating state and money" That's deep. Of course the "idiot" interviewing said he only wants to make money 😂
-
MOI agree with Max's skeptical probe...I love the space and am very knowledgeable about past, present, future...but Ive also looked at the bear side...and there IS PLENTY OF STRONG REASON FOR ZERO BITCOIN. Tough to hold opposing thoughts in the mind...but exercising both sides of the argument can help clarify how solid the bias really is. Great work especially the last 10 min of the show :)

PNWhy are there so many thumbs down???

SPBitcoin is Antifragile, so gains from changes such as difficulty adjustment and Halvings, and shocks of various types; it has faced many of these and grown stronger. Since its one sigma variability is over a factor of two, you must be very prepared for its high volatility. It’s not for everyone, Max.
-
CMAsh, Would you please post the name of your microphone again? Thanks. Great job Max/Ash ...
-
SPHaha, Austrian economics phase. We've all had that embarrassment...
-
VKGreat questions by Max. RV's crypto conference was stimulating, but one of its flaws was that it was a jamboree of crypto cheerleaders, with hardly any sceptics - of which there are many. They should have got more airtime. The issue of how central bank digital currencies can disrupt the private space should also have been more explored.
-
PEYou guys should add this briefing to the end of the Crypto Gathering sessions. This turned out to be a great wrap-up! Nice job!
-
PHWow, like the new look! New glasses/beard. Cool.
-
PEDon't miss the very first session on Day 1 with Niall Ferguson and Raoul, it was fascinating!
-
LPThank you Max for asking perhaps simple, but useful questions we are too scared to asked- e.g. prime brokerage.
-
VSGreat questions from Max. Loved particularly the question on the "shifting sands" of the use case...
-
DRI applaud Max for bringing a skeptical take, I say this as a BTC and “shitcoin” investor. I suspect Max would maybe have appreciated hearing about Ripple’s perspective as they have been laser focused on solving cross border payments. Their presence seems to trigger anger in folks who are already decided BTC is the only crypto that deserves to survive, however XRP is quietly moving upwards $20,000,000 in cross border transactions daily across a handful of currency pairs.
-
THWhatever you do, don't call it crypto. Call it digital currencies. Cryptozoology are guys chasing bigfoots and Loch Ness.

SBGreat questions Max, especially on perma-bullish attitudes towards crypto.
-
DCMax Wiethe - yes! Totally support your crypto-sceptical line of enquiry and agree that there's not enough counterpoint to promoters of the space. I'm a core engineer for a major blockchain protocol and totally invested in the technology - a long time believer you could say ). But at the same time I'm concerned by the speculative frenzy and long only narrative which seems to accompany so much content. Like you say it's very early days and I'm far from convinced that crypto is mature enough to outperform the coming shitstorm.
-
JBMax your interviews are so refreshing. I'm unsure whether its because you like asking pointed questions because of a lot of deep research or because there's a certain level of naive curiosity. Or both (I suspect its both). Either way, please don't change your style because it makes you stand out from all the vanilla type interviews that are available everywhere else (not including RV of course). Ash, you answered Max as the consummate professional that we have become accustomed too. Well done lads.
-
NDNice interview Max. The approach was refreshing and Ash nice job fielding the questions. A different daily briefing and a great daily briefing. I look forward to these daily. Keep up the amazing work Ash, Ed, Roger, Max, and the rest. I appreciate the content.
-
KVExcellent conversation.
-
SCI like Max's interview style. Hope to see him more often.
-
RLSo was a bit disappointed that I could not see the live version of the crypto event. I had been looking forward to those two days for weeks. Must’ve had something to do with your vendor that controls the subscriptions??? Oddly, all day Monday I could not watch any vids. I know you guys are busy but sheiBe. Build up and then drop the ball. Looking forward to seeing the 30 or so discussions. Regardless you guys still rock
-
ABGreat show. As always Ash, love that Microphone 😁. Im. Considering buying one for my own use case
-
MCMax as Ash says (multiple times) you ask great questions. Great stuff gentlemen. Thanks
-
JSGreat conversation. Max fix your audio.
-
RLAgree Ash- Tagomi and Coinbase best panel!!
-
MDI agree - excellent. Great questions and thoughtful answers. I'm glad RV and Max are brave enough to question the BTC narrative too - like other comments below I am not anti-crypto - far from it. Yet as a trader I know that reality always wins regardless of (my) opinions or the best arguments. Thanks Max and Ash.
-
SSPerfect . . . More of this kind of content please.
-
MSExcellent gents!
-
SSThere is too much content on The Crypto Gathering to watch every single video for me. It would be most helpful if you could provide a list of videos for the following categories: 1 - Beginner/Newbie to Crypto 2 - Already involved in buying Crypto 3 - Advanced - Deep into the space and wants to learn about new projects/technologies beyond BTC, ETH.
-
JHLink to Crypto Gathering programs?
-
MWHere is a link the agenda. We are still working on the best way to deliver the content but this is what you can expect once we figure it out: https://festival.realvision.com/cryptogathering/agenda. Also, this is the link to the fed minutes I recommended at the end of the piece: https://www.federalreserve.gov/monetarypolicy/files/fomcminutes20200610.pdf

SSI told you the millenials like Max could handle themselves on RVDB. Great job Max. Loved the good cop/bad cop on BTC. You are right we never hear the bulls ever get skeptical on BTC.

DSShould we use the same herd immunity strategies on humans as we use on swine? There is a dark side to herd immunity with a contagious virus and no vaccine – culling the weak. In poor countries who cannot protect their citizens, the death of the weak is the only options. When a government eliminates by law or propaganda the precautions to keep the pandemic from increasing it is culling the herd of the weak and disabled. The Lieutenant Governor of Texas suggest that grandparents are willing to die for the US economy – USA Today 3/24/2020 from Fox News. The choice may be conscious or unconscious. It does not matter. The poor, the weak and the disabled are always at a much higher risk. In addition, it culls out the weak in the middle age groups also as some will live and some will die of COVID-19. The economy will open while testing the possibility of herd immunity. Other governments like the state of New York continue to try a more humane focused balance while trying to reopen. It is interesting that many authoritarian governments seem to be taking the containment of COVID-19 more seriously. It is even better when other democratic governments protect their citizen by being transparent, testing, isolating and tracing. Leadership matters in any form of government. DLS
