Ethereum Q&A: ICOs and financial regulation [TIOM2-21]
Are ICOs disruptive, democratic venture capital? Or bubbles fueling greed? Obviously, both. We're re-defining entrepreneurial capitalism, corporations, securities, fundraising, stock markets - everything financial and the regulatory system around it. There is a certain contingent that is looking at ICOs and revealing their very statist, traditional ideas. The SEC, securities law, and restrictions on initial public offerings came out of an initial environment that was a crazy bubble, but that kind of regulation is the old way of dealing with things. This ICO bubble will have negative consequences and people will malinvest. It's still created an opportunity to do something never done before: bridge the big gap between early-stage organic financing and stock market public offerings, for companies to fundraise from a completely globalised audience. What can we do with programmable money that's decentralised, re-imagines funding and escrow structures, with protections driven by crowdsourcing? If the crowd is funding, the crowd should be vetting. Banking is not the primary incumbent being disrupted, it is regulators and the institutional, centralised regulatory environment as well. In the meantime, I will not be investing in 99.999% of these ICOs because I don't invest in minimally viable whitepapers.

Bitcoin Q&A: Separation of money and state [TIOM2-18]
Will criminal elements leverage cryptocurrencies? Criminal organizations as early adopters of technology, operating at the nexus of highest risk and highest reward. Money, by definition, is something you can use to buy anything. The more restrictions it comes with, the more it loses the fundamental principle of medium of exchange. I bet it's a lot easier to buy drugs with the New Zealand dollar than it is with bitcoin. Criminals will use money, but what we need to understand is that the tool is not the crime and has never been the crime. 99% of humanity is going to use money and other tools to feed our children, give them healthcare, education, and a better future. I'm not concerned with solving crime through attempting to control money. The organization you give the absolute power over money to, will become the criminal and punish not other criminals but their political opponents. We need to start thinking about separation of money and state, and understand that it just as important as the separation of church and state. This is part of a talk which took place on May 8th 2017 at The Blockchain.NZ Conference in Auckland, New Zealand: https://antonopoulos.com/event/the-blockchain-new-zealand-conference/ RELATED: Beyond National Money - Zurich March 2016 - https://youtu.be/V_RS9Lh_rBY The oxymoron of national blockchains - https://youtu.be/qSIBFBq9tRs A voluntary alternative to mandatory currencies - https://youtu.be/5ogv3Eya9nQ Can cryptocurrencies support terrorism? - https://youtu.be/Ryz-pXbsojU Why we should resist financial surveillance - https://youtu.be/KBFedmrDTQw Bitcoin and Blockchain in Norway - https://youtu.be/5ODDCx6VL2Y The Stories We Tell About Money - https://youtu.be/ONvg9SbauMg Fake News, Fake Money - https://archive.org/details/TheInternetOfMoney-Volume2/2-04-FakeNewsFakeMoney.mp3 Blockchain vs. Bullshit: Thoughts on the Future of Money -https://archive.org/details/TheInternetOfMoney-Volume2/2-03-BlockchainVsBullshit_ThoughtsOnTheFutureOfMoney.mp3 Bitcoin and the Banks - Five Stages of Grief - https://youtu.be/43Ucj6_Erb0 How do banks react to Bitcoin?

Bitcoin Q&A: How much bitcoin do you have? [TIOM2-16]
How much bitcoin do you have? What percentage of our wealth should be in bitcoins? A percentage that reflects your understanding of how the technology works and your ability to absorb the risk that it entails. However it also depends on what country you're in, because the volatility and risk in bitcoin may be better than your national currency. This is not a recommendation to invest; I have dedicated to career and my passion, I could lose all of it and still have everything else. Invest in education instead of speculation. Note: Yes, I know - this video is now out of date. The advice about risk tolerance and focusing on education still stands. This is part of a talk which took place on December 3rd 2016 at the Coinscrum {MiniCon}, hosted by Imperial College in London, England: https://www.meetup.com/coinscrum/events/235709468/?eventId=235709468&chapter_analytics_code=UA-47715334-1 Listen to the full talk here: https://archive.org/details/TheInternetOfMoney-Volume2/2-07-TheCurrencyWarsAndBitcoinsNeutrality.mp3 RELATED: Investing in education instead of speculation - https://youtu.be/6uXAbJQoZlE Why I earn bitcoins instead of buying them - https://youtu.be/Ci7TyD8jETY Initial coin offerings (ICOs) - https://youtu.be/Q5R8KuxV4A0 Where are the exchange-traded funds (ETFs)? - https://youtu.be/m3EFyGb104g Alternatives to centralised exchanges - https://youtu.be/3jmeJjhH84s Will Bitcoin save us from a global currency crisis? - https://youtu.be/U3S7vQrNOAI ABOUT Andreas M.

Bitcoin Q&A: The rules of Bitcoin (part 2) [TIOM2-15]
This is the second part of the answer to the question: "What are the rules within Bitcoin?" How does robust consensus and decentralized decision-making affect the predictability of the system? How does this compare to certainty and predictability within traditional financial institutions, such as interest rate changes? I can't predict what the U.S. interest rates will be next year, but I can predict what the rate of distribution (block reward) of bitcoin will be in 100 years.
