Title: Exponential Finance Conference
Post by: CLains on August 26, 2014, 12:56:33 am
I always was a believer in the exponential hype and transhumanist lines of thinking,
but I never saw how I could be a part of it before crypto.


Check out the Introduction (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HvLFoMNzD_k) by Peter Diamandis.  All the presentations are up here (https://www.youtube.com/user/ExponentialFin).

Staci Warden talking about Bitcoin in "The Transformative World of Digital Commerce and Finance". Great highlighting of why Bitcoin has the potential to disrupt existing financial structures. Also has a few bulletpoints on the flaws of Bitcoin. Finally a great introduction to how the bitcoin blockchain works.

regarding the first video. Not that bad but I dont like how people always claim crypto currencies are totally trustless. I would say:
Trustless in sofar:
- only you have access to you funds (you hold the private keys)
- there is no one central entity which has total power over the ledger
Requires trust:
- in pool operators or delegates to not collude or not abuse their power alone (in the case when ghash.io has more than 51%) in order to not get your tx reversed.
(Dis)Agreeable?

Not really about crypto, but Daniel Kraft in this presentation on the technological disruption of healthcare is a total badass,
