agreed. just a plan to milk subbers.

Im also getting the same feeling...if team size (their time invested in producing content) is the same as before I dont think they should charge extra....but at the end its their business and they can set the price anyway they want...

Serdar M. ,you may like "Nuggets News" ,really good crypto and macro.

Brian M. Thanks! I am already a subscriber to his growing channel for two years now 👍

Disagree. Like Raoul said, RV is not changing the Essential plan or even removing the regular crypto content. This is additional crypto content for those who are interested in more on crypto than we're already receiving. You get what you pay for! I think it's worth checking out.

So "jazzed" haha love it!

The proof will be in the pudding, as they say. If you concur you buy #BTC now. If not don't, sit on the sidelines, listen and learn, invest should you feel comfortable. #BTC is super cheap now, at $20,000, at $30,000 - LTF it's headed to infinity or more precisely it's headed towards being adopted as the Unit of Account, usurping the $. When? Egal (as the Germans say)! That should be all you need to know. Ergo fiat is doomed.

Traditionalists predominantly know & understand a fiat regime, unbacked by gold. Current market volatilty (regardless where) is the price we pay for change, and the symptoms of the deaththroes of an outdated regime: let's hope that does not turn to violence before we emerge into the new financial age....

(Fiat)) Money is only a concept, an hallucination, a faith, like religion: the "eating" of which is also as spurious and unreal as the value of the money in your pocket. Get on board #BTC - it's going to be a wild ride...

Oh, and that was without putting in any additional funds to my initial starting capital.

Proof of Work consumes a sizable amount of energy, although it incentivizes greener and cheaper sources to be competitive. Moreover, dedicating miners to natural gas harvesting reduces wasteful flares. One could also argue that the price in energy is worth the overall societal benefits of a hard money standard. The BTC network will survive diminished block rewards as price adjusts accordingly. When rewards are dimished more extensively (e.g. the year 2140), miners will be suitably compensated in transaction fees. BTC is already faster than confirming credit card transactions, and the lighting network second layer is extremely fast. The benefit of the base network layer being limited in terms of transactions per second is security - there is simply less surface area to attack. Metcalfe's Law suggests BTC has already been firmly estabilished as the dominant crypto, and there is next to no chance another competitor will arise that can supersede it (think Google, Facebook, etc.).

Proof of work sustainable from an energy point of view? Mining rewards over the longer term might be complicated as lightning network removes fees from the chain but pretty unknown what the exact impact will be. Proof of work ensures optimum security and validation of the network, not sure that it is useless - it is the most secure protocol available. Could it be surpassed by a faster more secure crytpo? not sure that is possible at the moment for a crypto to solve the tri-dilemma 1/ Scalability 2/ Decentralisation 3/ Security - changes to one impact the other, anything is possible I suppose. The way to think about bitcoin is that it is not static but 'living', if the network is threatened or needs to adapt to satisfy a new threat e.g. miner capitulation the node operators will follow a new fork that protects / optimises their investment. What bitcoin has, is a major lead in network effect. Any new crypto would have to be a radical improvement and solve the tri-dilemma - at that point Bitcoin follows suit through consensus to a new fork OR you get enough knowledge of the space to know when to jump ship. I think of bitcoin as http: to the internet, Mike Berners-Lee gave himself a B+ for his work on the www but it is still there 'chugging away' with layers on top - hope my ramblings are helpful.

Well, right now its free and lets leave the pricing surprise until later... and you will be surprised.

We are Real Vision. We will do both.

I interviewed Leemon nearly 3 years ago. It’s a bit dated, but it’s a really solid introduction into the technology behind hashgraph. https://www.realvision.com/shows/discoveries/videos/the-blockchain-killer-an-introduction-to-hashgraph

:) :)) The whole point is to earn more $$$ on digital tulips.

Yes, what an exciting project!

Watch this space tomorrow ;)

Yeah I second that. We need to know the date of recording.
