Universal Access to Basic Finance
34 views
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.
This talk was delivered on June 12th 2019 at the CryptoCompare Digital Asset Summit in London, England: https://aantonop.com/event/digital-asset-summit/

Worse than Useless: Financial Surveillance
37 views
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."

Money as a System-of-Control
35 views
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.

One Of A Kind: Why Bitcoin is 'The Next Bitcoin'
101 views
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.
