  • Опубликовано: 27 май 2018
  • Overview of the key insights behind Bitcoin whitepaper. Covers the history of money, value, gold, blockchain, proof of work, hash function & mining. This is the best overview of bitcoin for those who want a deep intuition. We introduce the problem of sending cash in electronic form over the internet and the need for a reliable electronic cash method, and introduces Bitcoin as a solution. Bitcoin is a decentralized digital currency that operates on a shared ledger model and eliminates areas of trust through distributed responsibilities for validating and updating transactions among multiple nodes. The speaker describes the process of Bitcoin mining, which involves solving complex mathematical problems to add new blocks to the blockchain, and explains the consensus mechanism of "proof of work" that motivates miners to participate in the network. Overall, the video provides insight into the security, reliability, and significance of Bitcoin in the modern global community. bitcoin 40k / halving

    [6:33] - "The value of these treasures was based on the fact that everyone knew they were rare. Rarity is the value."
    Run a fully validating Bitcoin node, and don't let anyone try to tell you that you don't need to.
    Full validation is confirmation of scarcity & consensus rule compliance.

    this is a great mini documentary - one of the best i have seen on the history of money as it relates to bitcoin! but a couple of nitpicks:
    5:12 "within a small trusted group such as a family you don't really need physical money" - that is correct. such groups have historically not used money - they tended to operate on a gift economy where people loosely remember the favors they did for one another and repay them later.
    5:23 "so money actually starts as a shared memory" - not if you're referring to the gift economy, since they had no money.
    5:27 "the very oldest written documents we can dig up show we often wrote down a list of promises to each other, known as a ledger" - this is now referring to money, and this is correct. however this is different to the earlier example - the difference being that such money did not develop within a small trusted small group, but was actually developed to deal specifically with the opposite situation - a lack of trust. such documents were developed by the governments of large early societies partly because there were too many people having interactions for everyone to remember the favors they owed.

Then I would give you the audio track for you to edit, set up and publish on any channel you own with a brief written mention for the translator at the end. I won't publish anything.

      Thank so much. This video took about 16 months. And followed this flow:
      1. have many casual conversations with people about the topic (2-3 months)
      2. read *everything* on the topic which exists (original paper + books + internet forums)
      3a. write draft script with rough visuals (3-4 months)
      3b. share it on reddit many times to see if people can poke holes in it
      4. iterate on drafts around 50-100 times based on feedback (~5 months)
      5. record voice over and see if it works without visuals (or very rough/temp ones)
      6. produce the visuals & edit together with voice over
      7. test on a few people (experts and lay persons) & iterate a few times
      8. press publish and go for a long bike ride

    First off, great video! But, I was somewhat dissapointed to see that while the video did explain all the concepts it needed too, I didn't really see how it was explained that this system was better, other than here's a new thing and how it works. You also completely missed explaining the history of banks mishandling information, decades of credit cards fraud, and all of the the events in 2008/2009 which caused Bitcoin to start as a big F.U. to the central banks. Good video, though. Long live blockchain.

    Since transactions done with crypto-currencies are dependent upon verification by bitcoin miners, so what would happen if there are no bit coin miner/ all the miners stop?

      Isn't this a flaw in the system? since it's assuming that there will always be miners?

      @@ArtOfTheProblem hey, isn't that like a flaw in the system or am i missing something? lets say the value of bitcoin starts to devalue for whatever reason, causing a decrease in mining operations due to a decrease in incentives which further devalues the currency since miners are essential for the system to function at all and so on and so forth like dominoes till the currency become worthless , and since you cant make any monetary policies to help combat it due to its decentralised nature, so what safe gaurds are there to prevent such an event occurring?

      if the EMT wiped all memory then we would be out of luck. Otherwise radio based systems could keep the network going in theory (in fact one could use a party line style telephone system where everybody hears everything).

    It isn't necessarily the longest chain that is the true blockchain, the true/valid blockchain is the one with the most proof of work.

    Your interpretation of why PoW is used was not clear.. purposely slowing it down is not the purpose.. the protocol is set to self adjusting 10 min internal.. the protocol could be 5 minutes or 1 hour.. but those have trade offs the security of the block is less if it has a shorter blocktime via collisions... that's why you still wait for multiple confirmations for important transactions. PoW is mainly used as the economic model that keeps it secure the network against double spend attacks by making 51% attacks costly.. It's not just an arbitrary way to slow down the blockchain for validation time.
