AHWould love a 2020 update on this topic.
-
BMI decided to give my 2 teenage kids some bitcoin for Christmas, the last minute or two of this interview confirmed my belief that getting kids involved, giving bitcoin as pocket money etc, is coming
-
RNI’m looking forward to an update interview series for 2019!
-
LWWhy is nobody doubting Bitcoins usability because of the actually high transaction fees?
-
CRCan we get an updated interview with Dan Morehead?
-
bsGreat. Producers, maybe time for updates? Maybe alt coin and smaller break out coin interviews? New investing world now after the 2017 boom. Where are we now? Thank you!
-
LKWatching these old bitcoin videos shows me why these guys are LEGENDARY with the price of bitcoin where it is. Dan Morehead CEO of Pantera and Wences Casares CEO of XAPO you guys are incredible. The part that so amazing was how bullish this interview was and the fact that you guys understood it and how bulletproof it is.
-
MSDid he just say gold has no intrinsic value?!
-
JLThis video as well as the previous chain video with Dan Morehead completely changed my thinking on bitcoin. There is a misconception in the currency bug world that metals and bitcoin are mutually exclusive. What a phenomenal interview with two individuals who are both cerebral and articulate.
-
ssOnce last bitcoin is mined I don't understand how small purchases with bitcoin work. If there will be a charge to verify the ledger won't it be more than the micropayment?
-
DRI love the simplicity and economy of Wences's ideas. It reminds me of Buffett. For example, why investing in bitcoin tech incurs the risk of bitcoin plus execution risk. This is one smart dude.
-
DR@TH — yes, bandwidth is an issue assuming the bitcoin blockchain is a static technology. But we've seen it evolve (e.g. addressing double spend) and it will continue to. Check out lightning chains.
-
ETWow. The Chain started with Kyle and visionary wisdom and insight. I was so psyched. And I appreciate G&R for giving it a try. But sadly this interview confirms the idea failed. Badly. Next?
-
DKA little unsettling to hear people working for micropayments. I hope globalization doesn't force that onto Americans anytime soon.
-
TSDid he say that gold have no intrinsic value? What about electronics, heat transfer, etc?
-
APWould be good to be able to copy paste comments or links from this section.
-
GWThe next installment moves away from Bitcoin but we may be back at some point - that's the beauty of The Chain!
-
GWKD the idea of The Chain is to let it go where it goes. We do not direct the interviews. It happened that we had two bitcoin pieces in a row because that's who Charlie & Dan wanted to interview.(1of2)
-
JBIntriguing to think of the internet growing the way it has without an 'internet currency". Bitcoin seems poised to be that internet currency. Especially when considering micro-payments.
-
gsWhat is missing in this interview is...Who will Casares be interviewing next?
-
THRaoul, blockchain eventually changes how corporations do business with each other. It is not about money and payments only but about a new way of automating business processes in general.
-
BDFabulous discussion. As trust is sorely lacking in the Global banking system, I can see how Bitcoin can change the whole evil enterprise! Bring it on!
-
RPLove this interview. I spend a lot of time at the juncture of Silicon Valley and Wall St and this is where the very brightest minds are focussed. It is the future of the financial system, IMHO.
-
RAI was one of those guys he referred to, eg. Had read enough to throw around "bit coin" and "block chain" w/o understanding it----very important learning RV segement for me!!
-
DCI also suggest an interview with George Gilder who has interesting views on Information Theory and relationships with money, gold and bitcoin. http://onforb.es/1QIUBu2
-
CCDoesn't makes sense to say Bitcoin is overcovered on RVTV. Bitcoin is the "best" other side of the coin to an unethically and mismanaged fiat. Given fiats history it is a very appropriate topic.
-
JWBitcoin is overcovered on rvtv right now. His analogy of Bitcoin being the Internet and blockchain being the browser has it backwards IMHO. Blockchain is the net & Bitcoin could be mosaic-or gopher...
-
RMBitcoin like all fiat currency relies on trust and sentiment for acceptance. Gold on the other hand doesn't. BitGold now gives Gold a digital front end for transacting outside the bank system.
-
SKDisagree with KD's comment on lack of investment philosophy -- plenty available in this interview. Also, isn't the idea of the chain that it's entirely the interviewer's prerogative?
-
DCI suggest an interview with Hugo Salinas Price to get another view on the Bitcoin versus Gold theme. http://www.plata.com.mx/Mplata/articulos/articlesFilt.asp?fiidarticulo=274
-
MBAmazing he thinks the greatest risk is people losing money they cannot afford to lose and then BTC becomes discredited. I would have thought, Gov't intervention making all exchanges illegal the risk.i
-
KDWasnt the great idea of The Chain 2 talk 2 smart experienced Macro guys re: development of their invest philosophy? Now its just long only, single-focus (tech & BTC) investment pitches. Disappointing
-
TSRegardless of the interesting Bitcoin views, there's some good general portfolio & risk management advice here too. Also, Bitcoin replacing Gold: I can see that's a longer term possibility too.
-
MCBitcoin's a BEAST!! Great interview."Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful committed citizens can change the world, indeed it's the only thing that ever has" Margaret Mead. The world needs BTC!
-
TJEnormously educational for a bitcoin novice like me. An invaluable discussion.
-
THThe max transaction rate of bitcoin blockchain is about 7 trx per second. Globally. That's worth remembering when envisioning the uses of bitcoin.
-
GCThis interview and Dan's recently, have completely reversed my opinion of Bitcoin. I will become an investor A crumudgeon with both bit gold and Bitcoin...hah never in a hundred years. Thanks RealV
