I'm an old guy, I built vacuum tube radios as a teenager. I mostly like technology. But in my lifetime, most things have been evolutionary. Blockchain has the potential to change the world as much as the printing press and the internet have.
Is it decentralized? if not, it has not much to do with the technology in the video.(but is probably the better application of the blockchain philosophy.) Also I would really wait with investing into BC.

Each record is public but doesn't mean it's not private. Your "user id" or whatever identified you are still unknown to almost everyone because it's encrypted to the ledger. You can see it but instead of like mark as the user it'll be something like 24chaeldosxntlwlado2esf45f so unless you can find the algorithm to decode it, it'll be hard to figure it out

I don't know if I'd want the ownership of my house, complete with address and cost, to be stored in a ledger that anyone can access... Privacy is a massive problem with blockchain tech, which is why I don't think it will ever become universally used. Nobody wants to be part of big brother.
I came here to learn how to invest after listening to a guy on radio talk about the importance of investing and how he made $460,000 in 4 months from $160k, somehow this video has helped shed light on some things, but I'm still confused, I'm a newbie and I'm open to ideas.
It is possible to produce superior performance provided you do something different from the majority. However most of us tend to pay more attention to the shiniest position in the market to the cost of proper diversification.
Having monitored my portfolio performance which has made a jaw dropping $370k from just the past two quarters alone, I have learned why experienced traders make enormous returns from the seemingly unknown market.
@@wilsonbrown8993 Interesting, I have a lump sum doing absolutely nothing at all in my bank account, I wanna get something started with it. You seem to be doing excellent for yourself, how do you achieve this?
What if breakthroughs in the synthesis of nanotechnology and bioengineering and 3d printing etc. were to create the possibility of humanity finally being able to move beyond scarcity. In that scenario blockchain would just be another stopgap. Money and wealth and power based on those things would be revealed to be a 10,000 year old relic based on fear of famine. Part of a no longer relevant paradigm. We would need to create a philosophical infrastructure based on abundance instead. We would stand in the threshold of the real beginning of civilization ie The Star Trek paradigm.
Some do predict something along those lines. Automation, cheaper power production (look up the price of solar over time - looks like Moore's law), etc. can create a world of abundance in some sense. But currently we are still not very efficient consumers. Literally products are not made to last aka planned obsolescence.
U're lacking knowledge about how the Bitcoin protocol actually works. And, yes, Bitcoin is weakly pseudonymous. Use anonymous open blockchains (already exist), mixing services and crosschain transfers to disassociate funds with your identity if u're feel followed
I don't understand what you're getting at, Deckard. First of all, cryptocurrency forensics is not 'easy' like you say it is. It's incredibly costly and difficult unless someone uses the same address or sets of addresses for all their transactions. Since most people use a new address every transaction, tracking one address is pretty much useless. Even if you can figure out a way to guess a set of addresses that belongs to one person, you'd also have to figure out who is on the other side of the transaction. It's like if phone numbers changed after every call, and you figured out a set of numbers that all belonged to one guy, you'd still have no idea who they're calling. Basically, the only way to know for certain that a set of addresses all belongs to you is to get data stored on your computer, which is what happened to Ross Ulbricht, the guy who ran the Silk Road. Your story sounds like typical unfounded conspiracy theory to me. I'm going to take this with a huge grain of salt unless you have some sort of evidence to back that claim up. Also, I can't imagine a possible way in which Bitcoin could be un-decentralized just like that. Even if that did happen, that'd be the day everybody took their money out of Bitcoin and into any of the other hundreds of crypto-currencies on the market right now.
Talking in all caps doesn't make you more right, chill out. You're sounding like a Flat Earther right now. No, addresses are not "software" in the traditional sense, if that's what you're talking about. They're a string of up to 35 numbers and letters. For example, 19aVsXegUuPT5b2imrQ77XFsomLRziZ6Q5. I just made that using the website "bitaddress.org". You can actually create a bitcoin address completely offline. What you then use is a private key, generated at the same time, to authorize transactions with it. A private key is usually a 256-bit number, so they'd be incredibly hard to crack by brute force. As far as I know, there's nothing involved in the process of generating an address that contains any amount of personal information on your part. You could even do something like program a raspberry pi that's never been hooked up to the internet to generate them, transfer them to a .txt file, and then transfer them by thumbdrive, if you're particularly paranoid about your personal identity somehow being contained in your address. Kinda hard to track something that's never been online before. Also, since creating a new address is so easy, most people do it every transaction. As for bitcoin transactions, if you're talking about that... If someone sends you Bitcoin, you can't just look at the "from" portion of the transaction and see who it's from, because that's not part of the transaction. That's because it doesn't exist. Essentially, bitcoin is a system of receiving money, but not sending it. This also adds to the difficulty of tracking transactions. It's not impossible, but certainly not easy. As for the flat file... I mean, yeah, I'm sure that's already been done, too. However, that wouldn't actually give you any amount of control over anything. That'd just mean you'd be able to look through the transactions that have been made in Bitcoin. This information is already pretty much publically available, transferring it to a database doesn't really mean much. Essentially, you couldn't force the entire blockchain onto one computer, but copying the information on it to a database is possible. I can't help but feel you also overestimate the utility of cash. For one thing, being a fiat currency controlled by the government raises a few issues. Another thing is that while it's easy to go to your buddy and buy 50 bucks of "oregano" from him at the corner, the problem becomes exponentially more difficult when you want to buy five million in "powdered sugar" from your buddy at the dock. Now you're lugging around a big briefcase of cash, which anybody could grab and snag at any moment. No hacking necessary! Most transactions of that size will have middle-men, who will likely want a cut of the profits, too. Then there's the issue of how do you get that much cash in the first place if you didn't already have it. Do you withdraw it from a bank? Maybe you had to launder it, which is a whole 'nother complicated proccess? What if your buddy is in China? Well then you'll have to figure out how to transfer it overseas to him, likely smuggling it through customs of some sort. Now you've added logistics into your expenses as well. Not only that, but it is going to have to convert it to Renminbi now somewhere along the way, which is ALSO an added fee. There are certainly situations where cash will always be better, but cryptocurrencies fill in the gaps. Honestly, I think Bitcoin is the prototype. If it's ever mass adopted, it won't be Bitcoin, or at least not it in its current form. So if it was a plot to get us to all go cashless, I would consider it a failure.
Yulian and Grey . The ability to use Th in reactors has been theoretically known since the 30's and practically demonstrated in the 60's. It's a thing and anyone who says it isn't can join their delusional buddies on a flat friggin' earth.
I resonate with the comments below, you are very talented and your audience really appreciates you. I am just starting educating myself about finance matters, never really having to deal with it before my IRA account started to drop in value (so fast). In any case, thank you, this Blockchain episode was very informative and inspiring.
Holy shit, DAO + AI would be a truly automated company, there has been some discussion how AI may replace CEOs, after all a CEO makes the best decision for the company based on what they know, an AI has unlimited access to data and can do the same. DAOs are gonna be so interesting, imagine a trading company or steam trading for real money, right now there' s a lot of dangers with trading items for real money because of the risk, someone could fuck you over so escrow exists, but if DAOs can do it automatically :O
I know my comment is probably not going to get read by you, but I just want to point out a huge thank you for opening up and sharing your thoughts with all of us. This Blockchain technology is something that is really interesting to me and I wish this technology to grow bigger and better!
Pedantic point, Bitcoin cannot do 10 tps -- it can only do 7 tps and that's only the max theoretical throughput under most ideal conditions. In real world usage Bitcoin throughput is closer to 3 tps because of more complex transactions on the network.
Victor T Bitcoin is not the only cryptocurrency in existence... Look at iota, the plasma network, lightning network... They've solved that "problem," not that cryptos were slow compared to banks in the first place.
I'm not sure what point you're trying to make here. Of course blockchains with adaptable block sizes like Monero, Ether and Dash tps is less of an issue. My comment here is directed towards incorrect information in the video where he states bitcoin's tps is 10.
So, if Blockchain is a distributed database. A couple of technical questions: 1) How does one create a block to be added to the chain? 2) How does one search for records in a blockchain database? Thanks.
In 20 yrs time, we might go cashless and proceee with our transactions without handing bills to sellers. I think, I already heard of this years ago - that our society will move to an era where physical cash no longer has value..
Wich ones.....there are too many. Bitcoin is expensive af....( ETH too volatile)... (Litecoin, yield to low). I am still confident that crypto will be the future but still.....if you have any tips
Peace!!! You don't understand crypto = blockchain. Otherwise it's just a decentralized, complicated database. Doesn't make much sense to use for corporations. Blockchain only makes sense for financial transactions. Period.
aceyage So corporations don't do financial transactions? You are just as confused as the guy who just heard of bitcoin and blockchain for the first time. Pathetic. Where are the real nerds?
Blockchain is good the best time is to invest Bitcoin/fx and cryptocurrency trading is now. Don't say to yourself that's is going down because you will end up postponijg for ever start now and make sure you start with a right broker
Most time having knowledge or insight about a particular activity can as well be a pleasing exercise. I can boldly say that forex and crypto trading is one of the profitable money exchange services that elevates investors and their financial status
@@jacobgary1643 That's true sir. Most people today have been having a lot of failures in forex and crypto sector because of poor orientation and bad experts
Even if blockchain works as you say it does (and it probably won't for a while) fraud and other bad things can still be done before or at an item's point of entry into the blockchain system in the first place.
It doesn't work like that. The people who "mine" the currencies are the people keeping track of everything that happens in the blockchain. If somebody tries to move money to account where it doesn't belong, the majority of the network doesn't agree and the transaction will not happen. As far as I know, the only way to break the system is by controlling 51% or more of the whole processing power of the network so you can confirm your fake transactions with majority of the "votes". This would not only be ridiculously expensive, but it would also be extremely complicated to achieve. The amount of electricity needed to get there alone would be expensive even for government scaled budgets, as the current power used by the whole Bitcoin network is equal to almost 5 of the most powerful nuclear power plants in the world. So yeah, you would need 5 of those to start off, then you would need to produce all the mining hardware to do the actual mining. The scale of this is just ridiculous, it's really not achievable by any single organisation. Besides, it would never pay itself back, because the moment you break the system Bitcoins become worthless.
Hacking the blockchain is impossible. Like Phazon said, as soon as you break the system the coin becomes worthless. So what would be the point of making a fraudulent transaction if it would be worthless afterwards? Not to mention controlling 51% of a well-used coin would cost in the 100s of millions at minimum
Thanks for explaining the Blockchain and it's applications in such a simple and effective manner. It's the best that I have encountered on the internet.
Kitta12320 The best time to get into cryptocurrencies was xx time ago....the second best time is now. Maybe not for BTC mining though lol, but keep that in mind for other currencies or just for investing :)
I wanted to back in 2011 when I first heard of it, but I had no money. The concept of investing in anything other than food and shelter was what made me lol.
woow, just found this channel, its so informative, straight forward, explained on an easy to grasp level. thankst for putting in the time man was a lovely watch! u got yourself a new subscriber =]
4 years later, this makes me wonder when the blockchain technology will actually pick up the pace. So far, it seems to me, it has not become pervasive at all, especially outside cryptocurrency. And where are the DAOs?
Or it could be military industrial complex creating next Google, because they've been involved in virtually all new technologies including cryptography
No. Bitcoin for example one costs $1,000 to produce in electricity and effort. That's why they call it proof of work (pow). Fiat banking credits and cash are created at the flick of a button by the FED. Essentially stealing our existing money's purchasing power. Our Fiat money loses 50% of it's purchasing power every 8-10 years. This theft and transfer of wealth is a hidden tax called inflation. And it's not 2% as we a re lead to believe. Bitcoin is a open distributed (trust-less) ledger of who owes who and who owns what, that has had 100% up-time and never been hacked. You know the US has 20 Trillion dollars worth of debt right? Well this changes the outcome for future generations because you can't lie and cheat. And countries will create and issue their own currencies for all public works and not go into debt to do it. Oh yeah... less war too. Not a bad outcome.
Stealing has been going on from the beginning of time , and even animals steal from each other.Bitcoin can not abolish stealing in any way,and the distribution of wealth within society.
Special "oracles" to edit the blockchain? You've lost me know. The videos alright but you're in over your head. And please stop referring to the blockchain as being trusted. Its a 'trustless' system (i.e., you don't need to trust anyone).
CS:GO сФинщини but everything that sounds too good to be true is too good to be true, but it might become good enough to be true. I mean it is for now. Idk in the future. Flying cars don't sound too good to be true, they're already here, if there was enough demand for them they would be out for sale
The names jeff, the blockchain have to potential to lower the burocracy and possibilitate to start a project using less resources, it is the same to say "when we created lamps a lot of candle makers lost they jobs, we need to protect it banning lamps" You don't need as many high skilled workforce cuz the market adapts to employ this "medium skilled" worker, as now there is more in the market their wages will be more competitive and the products being offerted will have a lower price as business will cut information and the administrative costs from the product You statement is just poorly informed, read about the austrian school of economics. :)
So basically, BlockChain is like an automatically updating, online, decentralised network of ledgers and balancesheets that record our transactions and transfer of currency and assets. Wow! That's so cool!
Keep the great content coming! I'm currently involved in a DAO project that has the potential to solve issues revolving around startups. Appreciate the blockchain education!

I don't know if I'd want the ownership of my house, complete with address and cost, to be stored in a ledger that anyone can access... Privacy is a massive problem with blockchain tech, which is why I don't think it will ever become universally used. Nobody wants to be part of big brother.
They don't know if you own the house, they'll know what key owns it. And who holds the key is the secret.
encryption
If you become invisible in everything you do,how can anybody trust you at all ?
Believe me , it's all part of the plan!
this video didnt age too well - let's see the AI series in 5 years.
What are you talking about lol
I came here to learn how to invest after listening to a guy on radio talk about the importance of investing and how he made $460,000 in 4 months from $160k, somehow this video has helped shed light on some things, but I'm still confused, I'm a newbie and I'm open to ideas.
Investing in stocks and crypto is a good idea, a good trading system would put you through many days of success.
It is possible to produce superior performance provided you do something different from the majority. However most of us tend to pay more attention to the shiniest position in the market to the cost of proper diversification.
Having monitored my portfolio performance which has made a jaw dropping $370k from just the past two quarters alone, I have learned why experienced traders make enormous returns from the seemingly unknown market.
@@wilsonbrown8993 Interesting, I have a lump sum doing absolutely nothing at all in my bank account, I wanna get something started with it. You seem to be doing excellent for yourself, how do you achieve this?
@@anthonysam9391 Exactly, the trick is to diversify your investment, don't panic when everyone else is and invest consistently.
This channel is keeping me from going to other entertainment videos I usually spend most of time on like big bang theory, office , other prank videos
omg thank you soooooooooooo much for making this video, gosh no other videos can explain what block chain is to me better than this one
What if breakthroughs in the synthesis of nanotechnology and bioengineering and 3d printing etc. were to create the possibility of humanity finally being able to move beyond scarcity. In that scenario blockchain would just be another stopgap. Money and wealth and power based on those things would be revealed to be a 10,000 year old relic based on fear of famine. Part of a no longer relevant paradigm. We would need to create a philosophical infrastructure based on abundance instead. We would stand in the threshold of the real beginning of civilization ie The Star Trek paradigm.
Some do predict something along those lines. Automation, cheaper power production (look up the price of solar over time - looks like Moore's law), etc. can create a world of abundance in some sense. But currently we are still not very efficient consumers. Literally products are not made to last aka planned obsolescence.
I hate the fact that banks are getting into crypto
CHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Banks'll be around. But as cherry-picked payment signaturees and brokers for loans, as they'd function
U're lacking knowledge about how the Bitcoin protocol actually works. And, yes, Bitcoin is weakly pseudonymous. Use anonymous open blockchains (already exist), mixing services and crosschain transfers to disassociate funds with your identity if u're feel followed
I don't understand what you're getting at, Deckard. First of all, cryptocurrency forensics is not 'easy' like you say it is. It's incredibly costly and difficult unless someone uses the same address or sets of addresses for all their transactions. Since most people use a new address every transaction, tracking one address is pretty much useless. Even if you can figure out a way to guess a set of addresses that belongs to one person, you'd also have to figure out who is on the other side of the transaction. It's like if phone numbers changed after every call, and you figured out a set of numbers that all belonged to one guy, you'd still have no idea who they're calling.
Basically, the only way to know for certain that a set of addresses all belongs to you is to get data stored on your computer, which is what happened to Ross Ulbricht, the guy who ran the Silk Road.
Your story sounds like typical unfounded conspiracy theory to me. I'm going to take this with a huge grain of salt unless you have some sort of evidence to back that claim up. Also, I can't imagine a possible way in which Bitcoin could be un-decentralized just like that. Even if that did happen, that'd be the day everybody took their money out of Bitcoin and into any of the other hundreds of crypto-currencies on the market right now.
Talking in all caps doesn't make you more right, chill out. You're sounding like a Flat Earther right now.
No, addresses are not "software" in the traditional sense, if that's what you're talking about. They're a string of up to 35 numbers and letters. For example, 19aVsXegUuPT5b2imrQ77XFsomLRziZ6Q5. I just made that using the website "bitaddress.org". You can actually create a bitcoin address completely offline. What you then use is a private key, generated at the same time, to authorize transactions with it. A private key is usually a 256-bit number, so they'd be incredibly hard to crack by brute force.
As far as I know, there's nothing involved in the process of generating an address that contains any amount of personal information on your part. You could even do something like program a raspberry pi that's never been hooked up to the internet to generate them, transfer them to a .txt file, and then transfer them by thumbdrive, if you're particularly paranoid about your personal identity somehow being contained in your address. Kinda hard to track something that's never been online before. Also, since creating a new address is so easy, most people do it every transaction.
As for bitcoin transactions, if you're talking about that... If someone sends you Bitcoin, you can't just look at the "from" portion of the transaction and see who it's from, because that's not part of the transaction. That's because it doesn't exist. Essentially, bitcoin is a system of receiving money, but not sending it. This also adds to the difficulty of tracking transactions. It's not impossible, but certainly not easy.
As for the flat file... I mean, yeah, I'm sure that's already been done, too. However, that wouldn't actually give you any amount of control over anything. That'd just mean you'd be able to look through the transactions that have been made in Bitcoin. This information is already pretty much publically available, transferring it to a database doesn't really mean much. Essentially, you couldn't force the entire blockchain onto one computer, but copying the information on it to a database is possible.
I can't help but feel you also overestimate the utility of cash. For one thing, being a fiat currency controlled by the government raises a few issues. Another thing is that while it's easy to go to your buddy and buy 50 bucks of "oregano" from him at the corner, the problem becomes exponentially more difficult when you want to buy five million in "powdered sugar" from your buddy at the dock. Now you're lugging around a big briefcase of cash, which anybody could grab and snag at any moment. No hacking necessary! Most transactions of that size will have middle-men, who will likely want a cut of the profits, too. Then there's the issue of how do you get that much cash in the first place if you didn't already have it. Do you withdraw it from a bank? Maybe you had to launder it, which is a whole 'nother complicated proccess?
What if your buddy is in China? Well then you'll have to figure out how to transfer it overseas to him, likely smuggling it through customs of some sort. Now you've added logistics into your expenses as well. Not only that, but it is going to have to convert it to Renminbi now somewhere along the way, which is ALSO an added fee.
There are certainly situations where cash will always be better, but cryptocurrencies fill in the gaps. Honestly, I think Bitcoin is the prototype. If it's ever mass adopted, it won't be Bitcoin, or at least not it in its current form. So if it was a plot to get us to all go cashless, I would consider it a failure.
plz do a vid on thorium and its future uses
I don't see how ColdFusion hasn't already done a vid on LFTR technology. More people need to know about it.

Chris K people dont know about it much by the way you just googled that
I resonate with the comments below, you are very talented and your audience really appreciates you. I am just starting educating myself about finance matters, never really having to deal with it before my IRA account started to drop in value (so fast). In any case, thank you, this Blockchain episode was very informative and inspiring.
Simply .... thank you for the best video on blockchain tech. On UA-cam
Man Please Make a Video on How Big is HONDA & MICROSOFT
tony michael By this comment I assume Honda is as big as how Coldfusion made Samsung sound like. Right?
How about a video on who is entering the technological rust belt, I heard Peter Teal talking about it on an old video
That 1975 outro, though.. good job again dagogo!
Holy shit, DAO + AI would be a truly automated company, there has been some discussion how AI may replace CEOs, after all a CEO makes the best decision for the company based on what they know, an AI has unlimited access to data and can do the same.
DAOs are gonna be so interesting, imagine a trading company or steam trading for real money, right now there' s a lot of dangers with trading items for real money because of the risk, someone could fuck you over so escrow exists, but if DAOs can do it automatically :O
John Lelouch I'm sure there would still be a "CEO" to look over the choices the ai makes
someone has to make/own the AI
I know my comment is probably not going to get read by you, but I just want to point out a huge thank you for opening up and sharing your thoughts with all of us. This Blockchain technology is something that is really interesting to me and I wish this technology to grow bigger and better!
Thanks for working on this topic and sharing it in such an easy way, this was really informative.
Pedantic point, Bitcoin cannot do 10 tps -- it can only do 7 tps and that's only the max theoretical throughput under most ideal conditions. In real world usage Bitcoin throughput is closer to 3 tps because of more complex transactions on the network.
Victor T Bitcoin is not the only cryptocurrency in existence... Look at iota, the plasma network, lightning network... They've solved that "problem," not that cryptos were slow compared to banks in the first place.
Victor T Also, no transaction is more complicated than another. Congestion is a factor when it comes to payment processing.
I'm not sure what point you're trying to make here. Of course blockchains with adaptable block sizes like Monero, Ether and Dash tps is less of an issue. My comment here is directed towards incorrect information in the video where he states bitcoin's tps is 10.
Victor T, the 7 tsp is pre-SEGWIT. We're is a transition to SEGWIT so the tsp will be higher.
With segwit it wont be a problme
I am seriously seeing because of super star UPPI sir
Damn.. Michael is here! 3:57
I love rewatching your videos
So, if Blockchain is a distributed database. A couple of technical questions: 1) How does one create a block to be added to the chain? 2) How does one search for records in a blockchain database? Thanks.
11:48 entities allowed to edit the Blockchain? That defeats the purpose of a Blockchain right there.
DAC ? Decentralized Autonous Country?
In 20 yrs time, we might go cashless and proceee with our transactions without handing bills to sellers.
I think, I already heard of this years ago - that our society will move to an era where physical cash no longer has value..
True. Cryptocurrencies are the future.
I think an early version of that future is already here....credit cards, debit cards, electronic banking and now cryptocurrencies.
I see this having a positive impact on me. But my gut feelings are visualizing a dystopian future which we're not ready for.
quite good amount of information in very easy and simplistic way .
fantastic video, great content from cold fusion
Conclusion: fuckin buy cryptocurrency

Na.. I live in Dubai
Or as a secondary plan pay your taxes?
I already did in july what a time to be alive
Wich ones.....there are too many. Bitcoin is expensive af....( ETH too volatile)... (Litecoin, yield to low). I am still confident that crypto will be the future but still.....if you have any tips
get in while its low, and hold on lol
So its basocally what they try to do in the newest season of sillicon valley :D
please dont make blockchain mainstream I'm still trying to accumulate
Accumulating what?
He's talking about blockchain. Not bitcoin🤣
haha
Peace!!! You don't understand crypto = blockchain. Otherwise it's just a decentralized, complicated database. Doesn't make much sense to use for corporations. Blockchain only makes sense for financial transactions. Period.
aceyage So corporations don't do financial transactions? You are just as confused as the guy who just heard of bitcoin and blockchain for the first time. Pathetic. Where are the real nerds?
Keep up the great work. All the best from the US.
Well done. Another excellent video and a pleasure to watch. Cheers mate.
Blockchain is good the best time is to invest Bitcoin/fx and cryptocurrency trading is now. Don't say to yourself that's is going down because you will end up postponijg for ever start now and make sure you start with a right broker
Most time having knowledge or insight about a particular activity can as well be a pleasing exercise. I can boldly say that forex and crypto trading is one of the profitable money exchange services that elevates investors and their financial status
@@jacobgary1643 That's true sir. Most people today have been having a lot of failures in forex and crypto sector because of poor orientation and bad experts
You don't make money on forex or crypto by holding your coins rather you trade to make gains
@@garyhelen9155 absolutely right ma'am
Forex trade made me whom I am today financially without any stress and complications
Even if blockchain works as you say it does (and it probably won't for a while) fraud and other bad things can still be done before or at an item's point of entry into the blockchain system in the first place.
It doesn't work like that. The people who "mine" the currencies are the people keeping track of everything that happens in the blockchain. If somebody tries to move money to account where it doesn't belong, the majority of the network doesn't agree and the transaction will not happen.
As far as I know, the only way to break the system is by controlling 51% or more of the whole processing power of the network so you can confirm your fake transactions with majority of the "votes". This would not only be ridiculously expensive, but it would also be extremely complicated to achieve.
The amount of electricity needed to get there alone would be expensive even for government scaled budgets, as the current power used by the whole Bitcoin network is equal to almost 5 of the most powerful nuclear power plants in the world. So yeah, you would need 5 of those to start off, then you would need to produce all the mining hardware to do the actual mining. The scale of this is just ridiculous, it's really not achievable by any single organisation.
Besides, it would never pay itself back, because the moment you break the system Bitcoins become worthless.
Hacking the blockchain is impossible. Like Phazon said, as soon as you break the system the coin becomes worthless. So what would be the point of making a fraudulent transaction if it would be worthless afterwards? Not to mention controlling 51% of a well-used coin would cost in the 100s of millions at minimum
Blockchain is the future! Except there are huge issues and risks involved. What was my ID again?
Thanks for explaining the Blockchain and it's applications in such a simple and effective manner. It's the best that I have encountered on the internet.
all very interesting and entertaining. nice score as well. progress is permanent. cheers!

This is an awesome documentary. Very detailed with lots of very relevant information. Thank you for putting this together.
Bitcoin at $0.0010 in 2009 hahaha xd
Now it is a couple thousand dollars. Lol
Alex Stomberg dammit! I shouldve mined BT 5 years ago..
Kitta12320 lol same
Kitta12320 The best time to get into cryptocurrencies was xx time ago....the second best time is now.
Maybe not for BTC mining though lol, but keep that in mind for other currencies or just for investing :)
I wanted to back in 2011 when I first heard of it, but I had no money. The concept of investing in anything other than food and shelter was what made me lol.
This concept is kinda scary.

thankst for putting in the time man was a lovely watch! u got yourself a new subscriber =]
4 years later, this makes me wonder when the blockchain technology will actually pick up the pace. So far, it seems to me, it has not become pervasive at all, especially outside cryptocurrency. And where are the DAOs?
Or it could be military industrial complex creating next Google, because they've been involved in virtually all new technologies including cryptography
.....wow.
Let's kiss the current monetary system goodbye asap!
You mean everything for free and if that is so, why the bitcoin and the magicoin and the futurecoin ?
No. Bitcoin for example one costs $1,000 to produce in electricity and effort. That's why they call it proof of work (pow). Fiat banking credits and cash are created at the flick of a button by the FED. Essentially stealing our existing money's purchasing power. Our Fiat money loses 50% of it's purchasing power every 8-10 years. This theft and transfer of wealth is a hidden tax called inflation. And it's not 2% as we a re lead to believe. Bitcoin is a open distributed (trust-less) ledger of who owes who and who owns what, that has had 100% up-time and never been hacked. You know the US has 20 Trillion dollars worth of debt right? Well this changes the outcome for future generations because you can't lie and cheat. And countries will create and issue their own currencies for all public works and not go into debt to do it. Oh yeah... less war too. Not a bad outcome.
Stealing has been going on from the beginning of time , and even animals steal from each other.Bitcoin can not abolish stealing in any way,and the distribution of wealth within society.
Down side. Privacy!
Compared to now I see zero difference.....
Now you can see what the govt is doing with our taxes.

Great video. This channel is great!
So many jobs will cease to exist because of the blockchain
Hallelujah!!...new opportunities will simultaneously emerge too...
lol alot less and only to people who are high skilled
The names jeff, the blockchain have to potential to lower the burocracy and possibilitate to start a project using less resources, it is the same to say "when we created lamps a lot of candle makers lost they jobs, we need to protect it banning lamps"
You don't need as many high skilled workforce cuz the market adapts to employ this "medium skilled" worker, as now there is more in the market their wages will be more competitive and the products being offerted will have a lower price as business will cut information and the administrative costs from the product
You statement is just poorly informed, read about the austrian school of economics. :)
Nah it will create more jobs.
ok so how do I get rich? :^)
I will not be part of "The Beast System" ....and i will not take the "Mark Of The Beast" in my right hand or in my forehead.
