TEQuality conversation.

NLWonderful interview! Fascinating to hear how Alex started and really enjoy going on a journey with Raoul to understand the crypto/digital finance space. Both smart, curious, polite. More of this please RV!
-
CHJust checked the RV Crypto timeline. Out of 20 videos, 16 of them covered ETH or some other form of altcoin. Three of them covered crypto in general and only one of them covered Bitcoin. Meanwhile, Jack Mallers announces Strike Global which completely decapitates XRP and every other project that's trying to solve global remittances (Strike is built on top of BTC and LN). If RV paid any attention to the developments of BTC and it's related technologies they would be on top of these things. When is RV going to recognize that there's more to Bitcoin than "digital gold"? I mean, to repeatedly say stuff like that is not only wrong. It's also a bit arrogant. And ultimately it's doing your subscribers a disservice. Currently, you're literally obsessed with covering a failed projects relaunch. Ps. Dont' know why I keep writing these comments. Pretty sure it's pointless.

LCCan we please have a disclaimer when guests are pumping bags they own. That’s the responsible thing to do! Is Alex a decentraland bag holder?
-
LOGreat interview, thank you for sharing.
-
RDCan someone tell me if his newsletter nugget news is worth it? Has anyone done the Pro member subscription at 199.op per month ? That’s not cheap- but I want to keep ahead of the game. Is this the best Newsletter or Pomp’s ? Any insights welcome !
-
bfi like Alex's big picture views. i was a bit cynical before this interview but it was impressive what you saw in bitcoin before others did. can Ethereum scale with volume?
-
RII'd love to hear Alex's views on some of the so called ETH Killers.... PolkaDot, Cardano, Elrond & Ziliqa to name a few. Will there be space for more than one Blockchain or can there be only one?
-
MARequest for comments/suggestions on dweb/web3.0/whateveryoucallit (eth is known already): - decentralized blockchain based storage projects with working product - decentralized blockchain based apps and/or app portals - decentralized blockchain based mutable DB's Alex mentioned also gaming platforms, does anyone know any? I'll start: Storage: - Sia / Filecoin / Storj - Proximax (under development) Apps: - Sia / Proximax (under development, both) DB: - Sia (under development) Gaming related: - Theta (video streaming, maybe something else in the future?) No wrong answers, just curious what there is. Also Alex was talking about coin indexes, that was interesting stuff also. Any pointers? Sure... I can delve to these on my own but why not do it with crowd :)
-
DDI like Alex's perspective in this and other videos.
-
PTIs it just me or do you also get this terrible lag with all the videos? Is there something I am missing?
-
JDThank you, Raoul, for having Alex. Superb.
-
ASGreat interview gentleman!
-
JGVery interesting to see Ethereum’s trajectory based off of past and current development. I wish Alex or someone like him could begin to disrupt the medical structure like finance is being worked on now. Insurance, hospitals and drug and Pharma need to be disrupted for the benefit of the many. No better way to do it then from the free market.
-
DOWow... I've invested maybe a hundred hours in researching crypto... and this interview is the best 45 minutes I've ever invested... a great story combined with a deep, deep understanding... absolute kudos to you Alex, you are a flipping genius. Raoul, this was a GREAT interview :)
-
acI love how his early understanding and faith was able to see through the early hiccups and very high volititlity. He must be really reaping the rewards now good luck to him. :-)

TPAnother ETH-centric interview, another raft of badly researched statements. Oh, and bonus for the usual "Bitcoin Maximalist" (The Vitalik Buterin slur) and "Tribal", among other stalwart components of RV crypto. "(ETH) is a platform not a currency" < goes on later to talk about price appreciation in ETH > "Bitcoin never changes" - Oh I see, so SegWit never happened? Or Lightning? Or Schnorr signatures (incoming) or Taproot (incoming)? Does RV even do any due diligence on the falsehoods that come out of people's mouths? Apparently not. ETH total coin issuance -- "Its negligible, and it has been blown out of proportion" -- the honest facts are that ETH doesn't care about its issuance. They never did, since the mechanism to increase the supply resides with the 13~ or so ETH devs who tweak things here and there. Maybe a few extra pills in a bottle doesn't bother a former pharmacist, but a few extra tokens certainly bothers people who know crypto. Adding "burning" is just another after-thought, and the statement "But ETH isn't competing on Bitcoin on monetary policy" is outright laughable. If anything ETH borrowed quite a bit, from the BIP (Bitcoin Improvement Proposal) Called EIP's on ETH, to the use of a "difficulty bomb" which is loosely based on how BTC's difficulty works, but they kick the can every now and then because hard decisions are hard. But hey, everyone pile in, "DeFi" is the new craze now - and we pinky-swear all those projects are super-legit (lol SushiSwap) and you won't lose money, for realz. Now go mortgage your house and pile in to ETH. The market is a better teacher than any post I can make.

DWGood interview, especially for people who aren't yet familiar with Alex. However, I didn't hear anything that addresses two concerns I have regarding Ethereum. Issue 1) Someone posted on the Exchange a link to the following article that makes a strong case that while the original ETH was not considered to be a security although it may once been, ETH 2.0 is a strong candidate for meeting the criteria for being a security. I'd love for RV to bring Peter Van Valkenburgh on to discuss Coin Center's perspective on whether ETH 2.0 could be classified as a security and the implications of that. https://coingeek.com/ethereum-2-0-ethers-journey-from-a-security-to-a-security/ Issue 2) RV and Alex appear to accept as a fait accompli that the technical battle over what platform will be the primary smart contracting platform going forward into the next decade is over and it will be Ethereum. Perhaps it will, I'm not writing it off but the reality is that Ethereum has never had any real competition for that role yet. That should soon change with the first parachain auction on DOT sometime early this year, along with competition from Cardano, Cosmos and other platforms. From what I can tell, DOT appears to be everything that ETH 2.0 aspires to hopefully achieve by 2023, except DOT is here in 2021. Because of projects like Moonbeam, every ERC-20 token will be able to easily migrate to DOT. DOT should offer greater computing efficiency than ETH, which will lead to lower transaction (i.e., gas) fees. I don't see why many tokens would not migrate to faster, cheaper platforms than ETH. To date, RV hasn't brought on any leaders from projects that can be expected to seriously compete with Ethereum. It would be great to have Gavin Wood or Charles Hoskinson or one of their representative on to discuss their projects and how they relate to ETH. Will be interesting to see how all of this plays out over the next few years. RV, keep up the great work!

IGno, not anyone can run a full (true) node on Ethereum
-
dfExcellent. What is the documentary referred to several times in this video?
-
IGGreat conversation! ps. If you don't like it, short it!
-
GCThe world seems to be spinning ever faster and I think Ethereum and Bitcoin will be a valuable load stone to keep financially sane.
-
JAI’ve so much from watching these two Channels.. great to see them come together

jlGood interview. The part Alex said about the community shunning / not paying attention to projects that Vitalik and crew didn't address on the forums is a feature as long as that isn't driven by Vitalik et al. favouring projects they are involved in over other projects that are actually more promising. if that happens, a feature becomes a bug really quickly as resources/liquidity are pushed into a path of more resistance for Ethereum as a whole. Current gas prices and Eth 2.0 being some years out makes me think that may have happened. A topic I would like for you to touch in the next time you talk is Layer 2 solutions, like nahmii.io, and how they both strengthen the Ethereum ecosystem, while also making industrial transaction / data heavy applications a possibility.
-
UJI think this year security token will have some attention it will be the next space to track attention. Great as always
-
DJBy the time the "ETH maxis" realise that the transfer to the new ethereum blockchain isnt going to solve the problem, the Flare network with avalanche protocol, on top of the XRPL will be live and leaving this failed project in the dust. Being first out the gate is exciting, running at the front of the pack fast and hard looks good to the uninitiated but the true winners are the ones who can make it to the finish line.

TJExcellent video
-
MSThe double whammy, Raoul and Alex! Love it!
-
MHsuppose - sorry!
-
MHvery enjoyable - two good talkers - why does Alex refer to "we" when talking about crypto projects? supose it shows how engrained he is in it and its success
-
khTwo of my favourite financial knowledge resources (@Alex and @Raoul forgive me for calling you resources) again in an interview ... Thx !!! I have honestly never understood, why you would prefer BTC over ETH ... BTC is old technology store of value (I agree safe) ... ETH is store of value, smart contracts, world computer and off course one of the most intelligent persons in the world (Vitalik) I asm also big fan of polkadot ... The trio BTC , ETH and DOT will have a great future !!!

RGAs a total newbie in crypto and investing, I am finding way too much noise out there. Everyone's an expert it seems. I put in many hours a day researching on my own. Somewhere along my journey of learning I stumble into the likes of Raoul and Alex. I am immensely benefiting from their macro view of this new world. Suddenly I don't feel alone anymore. So I finally pulled the trigger and bought ETH on Xmas eve, and so far...WOW!!! I really appreciate these interviews, great work guys!
-
FGAnother amazing interview, thank you Raoul and Alex! I am simply stunned by the quality here at RealVision.
-
CEAbsolutely wonderful, thank you both.
-
GTCool content/topics. Would love to see more videos about how crypto brings value to digital files/creations in a work-from-home era. When everyone celebrates the rise of Netflix and other broadcast stations. The reality is that you can still find the content somewhere else for free. Everything is still being copy/duplicated. If values can be set to digital assets and or link to profiles. It could be a really interesting time. Maybe cleaning up digital waste (cost of storage/energy) at the same time?
-
MBWow, f'ing wow, amazing content , many thanks
-
CLAwesome video. Doesn't mention the recent advent of bridges between chains and cross-chain communication and how the smart contracts of established chains like Ethereum compile down to WASM format so they can be deployed on different chains when they're ready to scale, those that support the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM).
-
GBAnother premium interview ...Alex knows his stuff, and of course Raoul knows the right questions to ask...
