"The one thing that's missing, but that will soon be developed, it's a reliable e-cash. A method where buying on the internet you can transfer funds from A to B, without A knowing B or B knowing A. The way in wich I can take a 20 dollar bill and hand it over to you and there's no record of where it came from. And you may get that without knowing who I am. That kind of thing will develop on the Internet."

This man was a genius.

The idea of a cryptocurrency wasn't that farfetched 10-15 years ago.  But yes, what an awesome prediction.

Great video !

Milton Friedman was a real "free thinker", though many condemn him...

Free to choose is also great...
