If any of you are interested in how the Bitcoin network operates, here is a discussion with Kalle Rosenbaum. Kalle is the author of the book "Grokking Bitcoin".

I believe this question might be stupid, and I would look like I’m nitpicking, but in 6:35 of the video the Indian person said that POW is a consensus mechanism. Isn’t Proof of Work really a Sybil Attack protection mechanism?

I've listened quickly to the details and they seem to be worth watching. I've saved it and will watch it later.

I'll leave the evaluation here.

In general, the questions are very simple and without illustrations, beginners or those who want to learn about the technical side of Bitcoin for the first time will not benefit.

Lot of things to learn about Bitcoin and its blockchain. It can not be done in a short explanation video. I appreciate your time to make the video but it is best to learn with books or articles.

Bitcoin White Paper (https://bitcoin.org/bitcoin.pdf)
Mastering Bitcoin (http://Mastering Bitcoin 2nd Edition - Programming the Open Blockchain)
The Little Bitcoin book (https://littlebitcoinbook.com/)
