A great succint presentation!

few notes :
1. At around 7 mins in, he says that because fiat isn't actually being transferred in case of electronic transactions, hence we need to trust a third party. This is absolutely correct but gives the impression that somehow btc is applicable only to fiatless third-party-based situations whereas you can implement bitcoin using any kind of computing network (even a bunch of scientific calc or even just pen and paper) and offers advantages, like the fiat that you are receiving might take 10 minutes to be secure, but it is the real world equivalent of you checking the note was not fake, then calling RBI to confirm that the number on the note is indeed in circulation and then somehow the police checks the notes in circulation in the entire world to confirm that there isn't even a fake note with a number on it! This happens everytime you wait 10 mins. Would you wait 10 mins for such kinda security? No? You are just selling veggies? No problem. Use litecoin. But remember, now you only gave the police 2 minutes to go around the world.

2. He goes on to say that we thus we can see that we need an anonymous currency. Let me tell you, bitcoin is not anonymous. No crypto is. And there is a mathematical reason for it. And no that reason is not clustering and IP forensics etc.

3. At 11 he says no third party, which is again true. But later on he should add that this third party in our case is the internet of miners.

4. At 12, you don't even need smartphones. You just need to know counting. Write any hexadecimal string 256 bit long. Congratulations, you have a bank account and this string is your password.

5. 16:00 Bitcoin ATMs, there are some in India as well Checkout localbitcoins. We have one in delhi!

6. In the end he should have concentrated on what zebpay is, which was rushed through and he came to the offers like flipkart etc ..

But I really LOVE bitcoins! Where are my 50 rs worth ?

Thanks for feedback, we really appropriate it.

The idea with this presentation was to explain why Bitcoin. We initially started our presentations ( trust me we have given a lot of presentations ) where we covered Bitcoin's advantages its technical brilliance but no one was able to understand it ( Most of the time it was me who decided content). So after lot of discussions Sandeep decided he will do it in his own way and decided no mention of complex innovative Bitcoin concepts, just present them why Bitcoin and propose it as a better solution than existing system. IMHO it worked very well.

We never wanted to promote Zebpay in the video, it is conscious decision. We wanted to make sure people first understand Bitcoin and not Zebpay. I have been here from a long time and I learned that its Bitcoin that needs to be marketed first, we can market our products later and if we have good product in hand people will automatically love it.

I will ask Sandeep to answer, discuss few of the points you have raised.

Sorry if my intentions came out the other way. I felt the presentation was great and did exactly what it intended to do!

I did't mean to seek answer or undermine anyone, just made these observations for us bitcoiners on here, to discuss.. Minor nitpicks nothing important.

I think it depends on how u r using bitcoin. If you use DarkWallet, u r probably anonymous.
