Andreas Antonopoulos kicked asses at the Canadian SENATE!

I can't believe the senators applauded him at the end.  




Standing Committee - Banking, Trade and Commerce

beautiful. very very nice.

the applause is really something, they dont do that for everybody and it shows that the senators were really, truly impressed. I'm not surprised, the man presents himself impeccably.

I have high hopes for Canada to be a leader with cryptocurrencies, even if we are maybe a tad slow to the party. The only problem is, our senators do not have that much power. the prime minister can veto anything they put forward. plus they are all appointed, not voted in, so they will naturally be in line with the prime minister's agenda, what ever that might be. There has been a lot of corruption come to light in our house recently and there is talk of reform to how it operates. developing.

its a good start though. good on you andreas!

He represented the community very well I'm very proud of him and Canada for acknowledging the need for crypto.

[Connor936]

When he makes a good point (or points) it does not matter who his audience is (as long as they are smart enough to understand what he is saying) they will agree with him.

I have seen the video and believe that he did a very good job of delivery of his message.

His message is clear enough:

DO NOT REGULATE SOMETHING YOU DONT UNDERSTAND, QUI?

It's a must watch!

[mercistheman]

That was a game changer... imo Canada will reap the early rewards of development and opportunity.

This looks really promising. Andreas got to present his case as completely as anyone could have hoped.   The Senators don't "get it" (yet) but it's really a different landscape now than it was 3 years ago when I first got into Bitcoin, that's for sure! 

[cbeast]

A five year regulatory review window should be just about right. That will give time for Bitcoin developers in Canada to self-regulate and build tools that are useful. It's good to see that America's Hat is still a Thinking Cap.

Thanks for sharing. He is such a great spokesman for Bitcoin. I love listening to him present Bitcoin concepts. Every answer rolls effortlessly off his tongue like he was breastfed Bitcoin as a child. What a difference a couple of years can be. I remember when everyone was overjoyed at having Bruce Wagner as the key spokesman for Bitcoin.

Andreas is simply awesome. The single most articulate and persuasive spokesperson that the crypto community has right now. Good on the canadian senate for giving him a forum.

Thanks just watching now, great job Andreas.  That was one hell of an introduction from the chair really surprised how well the senate understand the sentiment of the industry

[Kprawn]

Why is Canada always in the forefront of logic thinking in that part of the world.

I see so much FU regulations being implemented right across the USA and then Canada makes the right choice {In my view} when it comes to them regulating something.

Please distribute the drugs being used in Canada, to the rest of the people living in the USA.  *joke

Andreas is a GREAT speaker, and absolutely the correct person to speak on our {Bitcoin community} behalf, sometimes a little extreme, but that just shows his passion for what he is doing.

Job well done, now send him to NY 

[spazzdla]

Yes Antonopouls!!

Many +1's for talking to the senate of my country.

Now all we need to do is get the criminal Harper out of power.

[xDan]

our hero andreas

[windpath]

I watched this live yesterday, and watched the recording again just now.

Andreas is by far the most knowledgeable, articulate, and understandable speaker for Bitcoin I've ever seen.

[colinistheman]

I just watched this entire 2 hour video.

It is truly great.

You must watch this if you haven't.

[CoinFan10076]

Thanks for sharing this, going to set aside time to watch in full.

Cheers for the up - Great video and job by Andreas
