In this talk, Andreas explains why Bitcoin and open public blockchains are going to transform not only the world of finance, but the internet itself. Even though it has been termed "the internet of money," people are beginning to realise that this is something more than just money, and certainly more than what they're being told. This talk has been called the Greatest Crypto Explanation of ALL time.

This talk is featured in The Internet of Money volume 3, which can be purchased in multiple languages in paperback, ebook, or audiobook: https://aantonop.com/shop
