Crypto-city Academy

In this talk, Andreas advocates for protecting and expanding access to universal basic finance, explains why the question of how cryptocurrencies should be regulated is a distraction, and that eradicating cash will not affect the most powerful bad actors, who operate with banking licenses. He also declares that those who develop the surveillance infrastructure have exhibited moral bankruptcy and should face a period of scrutiny over their ethical integrity. CLARIFICATION: At 16:50, I say that women in Saudi Arabia can't own property and bank accounts. They can, but it is relatively very restricted. To buy or sell property often requires the support of multiple men, male claims on property are held in higher regard than those of women, and they can use a bank account as long as they have permission from their male guardian. They have only recently been encouraged to pursue home ownership themselves.

In this talk, Andreas makes a connection between medical pseudoscience and modern financial totalitarian surveillance, as practiced by banks and state intelligence agencies. He explores the hidden externalities and moral hazards inherent in KYC/AML policies, disconnecting whole countries and even continents from the world economy. Why is it common sense that money laundering is the fundamental business of fully-licensed, regulated banks? Who runs the real "dark net"? He urges that before people try to fix things they should first be sure they're not making it worse. NOTE: At 15:58, I quote Martin Luther King Jr. The full quote is: "Peace is not merely the absence of some negative force — war, tension, confusion, but it is the presence of some positive force —justice, goodwill, the power of the kingdom of God."

We know that money serves as: - A Store of Value (SoV) - A Medium of Exchange (MoE) and - A Unit of Account (UoA) But what happens when a fourth use of money is introduced, one which subordinates all the other characteristics: money as a system of control.

This is a developer's basic guide for checkpointing pow/pos cryptocurrencies. We have noticed there really aren't any videos.

 Currency vs. Money is the 1st Episode of Mike Maloney's Hidden Secrets of Money, a series presented by Mike Maloney as he travels the world to uncover the Hidden Secrets of Money.  

“The plain truth is… we are in the middle of QE4 right now” – Grant Williams during WTF: What the Fed. The Federal Reserve looks to be pumping a healthy patient of full of drugs… Something is not adding up. And Mike Maloney agrees… He recently recorded a free event dedicated exclusively to the topic of the Fed’s recent actions... to help you understand what it’s doing and what it means to your wallet. It’s called, “WTF: What the Fed.” And it’s hosted by our good friends Peak Prosperity Chris Martenson and Adam Taggart. They are joined on the event by acclaimed economists and sought-after speakers Grant Williams and Charles Hugh Smith. This event is completely free and during its 90 minutes, you will learn: The direct link between Federal Reserve policy and election outcomes The truth about today’s economy – and where it’s headed from here How the Fed’s grave errors have made life harder for regular Americans The #1 mistake most people are making with their investments now How the panel is allocating their portfolios for the months and years ahead Watch WTF: The Fed now to hear all this and more candor from like-minded thinkers.  

In this talk, Andreas addresses the speculation about what will be the "next Bitcoin" or the "next Ethereum." Echoing previous talks like 'Invest in Education Instead of Speculation,' he argues that the focus on searching for the best investment or time to buy amid a sea of pump-and-dump schemes is a worse way to spend your time than gathering knowledge about how these systems work. He also tells the story about how he bought bitcoin for the first time, why it is not the get-rich-quick scheme you may think it is, and the ways they could fail.

Andreas talks about why he believes we are headed towards one internet of money, interoperability between many chains satisfying different objectives. He also discusses cycles of infrastructure and application growth, the value of scarce attention, standardization, and how scaling never ends.
