His optimism is the optimism seen in anarchists. He completely ignores the power of the gun that Mr global wields through the brainwashed masses. The openness of bitcoin in an adversarial environment is suicide. Not fungible. Seriously, look into monero.
No true scottsman fallacy from mr bitcoin: “those bitcoiners who had a bad experience aren’t true bitcoiners therefore their complaints are invalid.”
It amazes me how much just never admitting one is wrong gets mistaken for credibility in the tech industry.
cryptocurrencies have a whale problem. the big holders can wipe out the price for short periods of time, which hedge funds probably exploit. I suspect diversification is one of the only protections against this.
I can’t listen to this. It’s painful to hear Aleks stubbornly refuse any attempts to reframe the conversation by Catherine. And continue his monologue…
Not a polite way to conduct a conversation.
I completely agree with the comments here. I had to stop listening several times because I could not stand to hear Aleks’ refusal to concede any challenges with Bitcoin. Catherine showed much more tolerance than I could have managed. After 3 attempts, I finally got through it all. My conclusion was that Bitcoin is Aleks’ religion – it solves everything and you just need to really, really believe. My core belief is that if something cannot be questioned, then there is something hugely suspicious with it. For me, Aleks only makes Bitcoin much less attractive. This conversation was very enlightening but not in the way that Aleks and Bitcoin would want.
I suspect he spends a lot of time on line and has ingested an enormous amount of online entrainment.
Catherine, is there a part II coming up? I would like to watch it. I think Aleks is sincere. I watched much of this again, and would like to see the conversation come to some final resolution, whether or not there is agreement. The first time I watched, I was somewhat put off by Aleks’ personality, I guess, but now I feel differently.
Not that I know of. This would be up to Dr. Mercola.
I tapped out of that conversation early as well. His arrogance was very hard to tolerate. Online entrainment indeed
BIS Media Briefing 7 mos ago: State the plan to roll out CBDCs, backed by Bitcoin . . . Points out the success of Brazil during pandemic getting 2/3’s of population to go along with their cbdc called the Pix system. Says India is about to roll out similar cbdc.
That’s my take on it. BIS says it will take 2-3 yrs to accomplish. Sugar-coats is all, of course.

Presuming Bitcoin can be a force for good and combat Mr Global, the questions I have are:
1) Can Mr Global suppress Bitcoin enough to put it under effective lockdown (via mind-control, electricity shutoff, physical force, etc) thereby successfully carrying out his plans to completion?
2) Or would Bitcoin keep bouncing back, and that perseverance provide humanity with enough wherewithal to defeat Mr Global?
3) And if there’s a chance of the latter, what can we do (while using Bitcoin) to protect people and encourage their prosperity, especially through potentially dark times?
Hi Catherine – been a fan for YEARS.. at least 12 +. I joined your website just to comment on this. BTC maximalists are not adhering to the peer to peer exchange. Please talk to someone in the BCH podcast-Jeremy. I watched all your videos that were free.. used to watch Titus for free till you got him.. which is great.. Big supporter of Corbett report.. he can vouch for me. Just saying.. There are cryptos that are working and getting better.. BTC has been taken by Big Banks already, with their lightning network and their small blocks.. it is still usable, but the price will now be controlled by the ETF market. There are a ton of other things that I would like to add .. but for a guy watching BTC since 2010, you are not on the right group. just saying.. I love all your efforts.. videos.
In the meantime, now I can go watch some of the Titus vids.. now that I paid.. but I am adding my hat to the ring and would love it if you would talk to the freedom seekers in crypto.. like BCH (none of our crowd got the shots).. and others.. (which I may add -it really is the original BTC.. but that would take more than a comment). Keep up the great work!!
Where do I start. Need a first step that is not time consuming.
Wow! got through! I think the best bet is to get the BCH guys to get ready for you and have a discussion..Why BCH.?.. You already have your concerns and I agree, which are everyone’s. I just think that, from what I have seen, is that you have a slight misunderstanding on the crypto history (but not by much and for good reason). I think the best bet would be to get the BCH community to invite you to a talk with the bitcoincash pod cast (they don’t know you but should-I think). It’s a crowd that has survived the onslaught of the big banks and are slightly scattered and tough.. My best advise, to learn->https://bitcoincashpodcast.com/-just get the basics(they currently agree – they need more marketing). Roger Ver is coming out with a book to explain BTC and the issues with it and some inside history that is important to know.. so.. I guess I don’t have to explain it here if you get a copy. I am not a “shit coiner” statesman, but I did notice that after Segwit – banks owned BTC, and a lot of other coins came out of thin air…
I will see what I can do to get them(Jeremy-BCH Podcast-https://bitcoincashpodcast.com/) to know you. They (the community) are making good headway in making BCH usable by all and unstoppable. These guys are BCH only. I think they need a little of what you are saying to help, but they have communities world wide. Australia, America, Argentina, Brazil, England, eastern Europe.. that is where the conference is this year.
https://www.bliss.cash/ – all the best will be there.
.. but I can’t go.. but next time they do it in St Kitts.. I will!!
Thanks so much for all you do!!
Me- I am just a mechanical engineer trying to help.
Just finished reading Hijacking Bitcoin. Can not thank you enough. Writing review now.
Also, if you have Roger’s email please send. Want to invite him for an interview.
