This is an amazing list. Will watch the Bitcoin White Paper by Stefan Molyneux later on today. I keep telling myself that I would read it, but a video about it is a lot better (and most likely easier)

I'm glad you added "ignore buckysroom wallet" note, because this was the only thing that was quite biased in this video.

I've watched Bitcoin vs. Political Power: The Cryptocurrency Revolution before and I thought it was too political. I'm adding it to the list to add some more political flavor though.
