Through this journey, we get to learn about the origin and ethics of Bitcoin's developers, and explore their wide spectrum of professions, beliefs and social representation. We will try to uncover how they perceive Bitcoin and how they relate to its ideals.

thanks for the updates, much appreciated. (haven' checked during the last two weeks)
i've put the vids on the main list.
Because it's starting to get a little confusing on the first page, I'll soon sort the vids according to creation dates.
probably better to have the fresh stuff at the top.
