I was in the room attending the conference. He is always great, but this is the maybe the best speech I have ever heard in my life. Voorhees for President 2028!!!
Most people have no idea what is being talked about inside the crypto bubble because crypto can't help the very poor. Most people around the world are very poor. In the end, crypto will only make the rich even richer and perhaps some in the middle class a little better financially. In all of these years of Bitcoin, nothing changed in the lives of the poor.
That is why the blockchain is needed- for freedom and individuality, the ability to not be burden by crazy regulations and controls from wealthy and powerful indivduals. Thank you Erik.
Erik is nothing short of genius. His contributions and fight for financial freedom are unmatched and never more necessary for anyone who strives for freedom from tyranny. NCR Davis, author, “For the Boys - The War Story of a Combat Nurse in Patton’s Third Army”
Why are we here. I got my hand on my first BTC on 2014. I didn't know the answer back then. I didn't know the answer back in 2018. I was getting close to that answer in 2022. I have the answer now.
Erik Voorhees, Michael Saylor and Jeff Booth have ignited my lust for life. The world and its robber baron toilet of a system, which I thought there was no way out of, can now go fcuk itself. There is definitely a beautiful alternative.
As long as there will be farmed animals, there will be farmed humans. We're SUPPOSED to be a species with moral agency, about we act like it and bring about a golden era?
Nope! Private mail works much better. The only reason the post office is still around is because it can run a deficit and not go bankrupt. That’s why the service sucks, and never gets better. Independent mail services are far more efficient. There is no need for a post office, or govt. if the people took personal responsibility for their actions instead of trading freedom for convience
I agree with a lot of the ideas he expressed. I see this as a sort of moral rallying, and a declaration of war. I just wonder if anyone can reasonably contend with the deeply integrated, already instantiated financial systems we operate on. I would like to see crypto find a place in the current system. But some of the topics he addresses are less about crypto, and more about the corruption that plagues current day politics, and human behavior historically. I feel as though its important to stay focused and not conflate corruption with financial technology that has room for improvement.
@empirepod Erik doesn’t understand Bitcoin. In so many ways Erik is a fundamental part of the problem, rather than a part of the solution. This talk is entirely rhetorical, designed to capture hearts and minds but, it has no relevance to Bitcoin.
Well said, innovation is being stifled in our system in America because of power from big money and elites, but not knowing how to build towards a better future over old ideas and holding on to their power that's out dated. Time will tell everything in the new realm of life, innovate or get left behind, that's for everyone sad to say really. Power or none, this is your opportunity for a better future Everyone!!!
Wow this guy is the Crypto Hero. Crypto guy is the proplem. No difference between this crypto or this other crypto. What about just telling us the truth! There is only one digital commodity, and it is not crypto, it is Bitcoin.
Voorhees is blind, ETH is governed by men, code is definitely not law. Maybe ETH Classic. If you build your castle on a foundation of sand, you shouldn’t be surprised when it eventually collapses.
A chicken & egg problem within a chicken & egg problem within a chicken & egg problem, presented by a FOX 😁. So many narratives and their momentum tried to built upon and failed, while people got used to ponzinomics - bear market until 2030 until every rich OG feels the pain seems not unrealistic (last bull was basically faked and in these liquidity conditions now a whale entering easily pumps the price, on purpose or not...so back to circle jerking. ETF approval also is a traders game). It's very ironic the space basically depends on the money printer, as almost everything else in the economy. And according to the core devs it's now even depending on AI to be able to scale. 1000s of new layers will come, they say...can you imagine, even more chaos and fragmentation while the old projects are still slow rugging? "Community member" is just another term for bag holder, I learned.
@@MikeWoot65are you employing you can on eth? It’s only 5x faster? And yet btc is much more decentralised and permission less. A system can be built on a slow resilient base. Eth layer 2 would be required also. Btc is a foundation of rock.
What a great video to send to friends and family that don't realize how crypto is far more than a money making endeavor. it's our chance for real freedom from the corrupt swamp creatures that controls the system.
Mate, ETH is not permissionless. POS requires someone to part with their ETH. There is no way to join without centralized exchanges, which won’t be around forever.
Awesome, loved this. Erik continues to be a (much needed) leading force in the crypto world. And to anyone reading this while watching - make sure you listen to the entire speech. It's worth it.
Another one sided argument. Erik you’re amazingly intelligent and yet you don’t see that one sided arguments are always bound to fall short when the whole is considered. Math falls short to human’s wisdom and human wisdom cannot ubiquitously thrive without math.
Used to like this guy until he said Luke Dash Jr the legendary Bitcoin Core developer was 'bat shit crazy' - really? I think we owe a great deal to people like Luke. OK so ShapeShift was a good decentralized exchange - unfortunately though you have to be (and I was) 'bat shit crazy' to invest in Alts. Thankfully listened to people like Luke enough to keep 90% of my BTC. Sickening though to think I spent valuable life-changing BTC for trash like this.
The doctor that saves your life is also a stranger. Less tax, government over reach good but his government all bad message doesn’t offer a proper solution.
We don’t deserve Erik…thanks for all you do sir. You are a beautiful person. 🖤⚡️
Waaow... What a speech!!
Will be quoted even after 100 years...
This guy is my absolute hero!
really? no room for Andreas Anotoplous?
I was in the room attending the conference. He is always great, but this is the maybe the best speech I have ever heard in my life. Voorhees for President 2028!!!
he is a scammer like Sam Bankman-Fried
@@KingTairun Very interesting, and who did he scam ?
@@SK-vg3mw he advocates for crypto so he scammed everybody who lost money with crypto
Voorhees could seriously lead a rebellion. His oration skills are kind of scary.
Beautiful speech 🫶🏽
Thanks
Erik is my absolute favorite person
Definitely a top 5
Thanks
Can Erik make this same speech at TED? This one is great but we need this message spread outside of our current audience

Couldn't agree more
Outstanding!

Great keynote!

OG; for sure - but also one of the most intelligent people in this space (and that is hard competition).
Right up there with Richard Heart, Charles Hoskinson, Roger Ver, Vitalic
Beautifully expressed. This hit right home! Thanks, Erik 🙏

Will be relevant for decades to come, absolutely brilliant 🙌🏼
What a masterpiece
Underrated, sir. #shadilay
perfect speech, mr president

One of the REAL OGs. A man with PRINCIPLES!!! Unlike 95% of people in crypto
Truth is the only authority.

The text of the speech was generated by AI. AI can also detect and tell you when a text was generated by AI.
A piece of history is being made. Wow.

Wow. Great speech! Few understand this now.
If someone thinks ‘crypto values’ is an oxymoron, now you have a video for them
Erik is too good.
Really should look for a better example than the post office. The post office is incredibly necessary and is underfunded on purpose.
Nope! Private mail works much better. The only reason the post office is still around is because it can run a deficit and not go bankrupt. That’s why the service sucks, and never gets better.
