UNSCRYPTED   Episode 22: Unstoppable Code - The Difference Between Can't and Won't Andreas M. Antonopoulos is a best-selling author, speaker, educator, and one of the world’s foremost bitcoin and open blockchain experts. Follow on Twitter: @aantonop Website: https://aantonop.com/ In “Unstoppable Code: The Difference Between Can't and Won't," Andreas argues that what is interesting about both Bitcoin and Ethereum is unstoppable code. Cryptography and decentralized systems are defensive mechanisms to assert and enforce our human rights. Looking back on the effect of the Silk Road on public perception of cryptocurrencies, he warns the Ethereum community that they will soon need to reconcile diverse legal jurisdictions, and make an ethical decision about whether they will build "won't" or "can't" governance systems. What is the unstoppable code worth running? This talk took place on February 16th 2019 at the EthDenver conference in Denver, Colorado.

Follow on Twitter: @aantonop Website: https://aantonop.com/ In “Bubble Boy and the Sewer Rat,"Andreas delivers a whimsical security analysis of the open, public and decentralized Bitcoin system, compared to the closed, proprietary and centralized alternatives. He argues that the strategy of security by isolation has consequences for the ability of any computer system to build immunity. While it may not be pretty, being constantly exposed and attacked in the wild open internet will help Bitcoin achieve censorship resistance and thrive to a degree that private blockchains simply cannot.

UNSCRYPTED   Episode 16: One of a Kind - Why Bitcoin is 'The Next Bitcoin' Andreas M. Antonopoulos is a best-selling author, speaker, educator, and one of the world’s foremost bitcoin and open blockchain experts. Follow on Twitter: @aantonop Website: https://aantonop.com/ In “One of a Kind: Why Bitcoin is 'The Next Bitcoin,'" 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. This talk took place on July 12th 2019 at the Athens Bitcoin and Blockchain Tech meetup in Athens, Greece. This series is called ‘Unscrypted’ for a reason: all of Andreas’ talks are performed without slides or notes. You can find any necessary corrections and clarifications in the podcast description.
