Wow, stunning talk, fresh perspective, incredible points. His youtube account was taken down after this talk, it's back up now but he certainly hit a nerve with this talk. Keep it up & Thanks Stefan.

I thought this was the best talk about bitcoin I've ever seen. And I've gone pretty crazy for some btc talks that I've seen. (Andreas!) Awesome thread too. It's so nice to read from other people who also appreciate & understand the incredibly important stuff he is talking about. Some just get lost in obscure details but it's the essence of what he is saying is that is so inspirational. I'm actually really happy if 50% of the posts in this thread like the video. Just as the printing press transformed society, so can cryptocurrencies.

Finally got around to watching it today. His words sound like some of the brightest speakers in the run up to the American Revolution. I suspect this technology will finally finish what they started.

It is nice to see a literature reference in this reality tv driven time. |

Personally, I do not believe this is a coincidence. |

Personally, I do not believe this is a coincidence. No wonder I was always in trouble at school. Incidentally the author's home town is less than an hour drive from my door step. The part about intellectual dependence is particularly troubling. It does explain the sporting event nature of our elections and political discourse. The shouting down of opposing viewpoints and scoring political points with clever rhetoric is how we get presidents like our current one. |

his youtube got temp banned for this video We actually don't know which video cause the temp ban, but I'd bet it wasn't a Bitcoin-related video. My first guess is that a lot of people complained to YouTube because of his "Estrogen-Based Parasites" video. Lol really? I didn't even know you could get banned from youtube?? Obviously I figured you would be banned if you tried to upload porn or something like that, but other than that, or a video of graphic violence, I thought everything else was fair game... |

Youtube is a pretty regular offender when it comes to censorship. They are a privately owned service so that is their right but it is also my right to seek out alternatives that more closely reflect my values. |

This is a great speach. Possibly the most important speech in our lifetimes, for Americans at least. |

Ah, the sweet feeling of having someone's political beliefs shoved down my throat...
I really doubt the rhetoric of Stefan Molyneux is helpful to further bitcoin's cause at this point. He sounds a tad bit like a lunatic, and paranoid at best.

No, it's not. "The tyranny of illusion" is his best. "Sunset of the State" is his second best. "Bitcoin vs. Political Power" is his third best. "Estrogen based parasites" is 4th or 5th best, I'd say. By "best", I mean most important for the world. It's about the rarity of the truths held within, and how important they are for our species to understand. Anyway, all capitalism is parasitism. It's silly to attack one particular form of parasitism in the greater context of a worldwide, systematic, heirarchy, socio-economic-caste based parasitism. |

This is hands down one of the best Bitcoin videos I have ever seen. Thank you very much for sharing and introducing me to this person. I plan to watch a few of his other videos now.

Stefan Molyneux is a living sage. Dive right in, you're in for quite a treat. I've learned so much from him. Or rather, unlearned so many lies, thanks to this human. The only thing Stefan gets wrong is that he's not an anti-capitalist (yet). Keep that in mind. |

So what exactly do you disagree with? Is giving power back to the people a bad thing in some way? Please elaborate as I am genuinely curious about how less war and sound money is a bad thing. |
