Bitcoin: Where the Laws of Mathematics Prevail
Published on Jul 29, 2017
In this talk, Andreas speaks about Bitcoin as a system of commerce that is the culmination of decades of research into cryptography and digital currencies, and how it achieves digital scarcity through proof-of-work and decentralized consensus. He argues that Bitcoin is powerful because it is where the laws of mathematics prevail to deliver robust security, financial autonomy, and censorship resistance.

thanks for the post, yea, anything that can be inflated I leave. Bitcoin will continue to rise because it is limited. If it splits, I'm not cool with that but will stick to the original.
