Why did a joke cryptocurrency with zero ambition find massive success, yet a calculated military campaign with plenty of ambition turned into a massive failure? With the right leverage, ten men can fight like one hundred, and one coin can spend like a million.

![Bitcoin and the Coming Infrastructure Inversion: ReMastering Series [2020]
We are about to witness the greatest infrastructure inversion the world has ever seen, banking and finance will be changed forever. Open blockchains, and specifically bitcoin, will revolutionize the way finance is delivered over the next 10-15 years. Watch this aantonop ReMastered video to learn how automobiles, electricity, and the internet relate to this new world of finance. Oh, and youll get to hear Andreas recreate the sound of two modems connecting, for that reason alone you should watch it!
In this talk youll hear references to Zurich because this talk was delivered on March 30th 2016 for Bitcoin Meetup Switzerland in Zurich, Switzerland: https://www.meetup.com/Bitcoin-Meetup...
What is Infrastructure Inversion and what does it have to do with Bitcoin?
In this video, Andreas explains how, at first, disruptive technologies exist in a world created for the technologies they will eventually replace. The new technology must operate in a world designed for old technology until the infrastructure can be built to support the new technology. And then an infrastructure inversion often happens, where the old technology can comfortably exist on the new infrastructure. But the new infrastructure can support brand new inventions. Examples of this include the automobile, electricity, the internet, and now Bitcoin and open blockchains.
This is the first video from the aantonop ReMastering Series. The ReMastering Series is where the future of Bitcoin and open blockchain education starts. The videos in this series have additional educational content added to the original talk, we hope you like it. And we want your feedback, please leave a comment and let us know what you like about the ReMastered Bitcoin and the Coming Infrastructure Inversion and what we can improve!
This talk is featured in The Internet of Money, which can be purchased in multiple languages in paperback, ebook, or audiobook: https://aantonop.io/tiomv1ebooks/

![AI + Cryptocurrency + Death = Self Owning Cars? [June 2023]
Back in 2019 Andreas did a talk about how cars may eventually pay for their own maintenance and parking using cryptocurrencies like bitcoin. And how they could eventually end up effectively owning themselves through a series of plausible events. In this clip from his June 2023 patron question and answer session, he discusses that idea again - combined with the use of AI.

![2020 or 1984? Can Bitcoin Save Us?
Can Bitcoin save you from a 1984 future?
George Orwell asks, Are we headed for a 1984 future? Or maybe more of a Brave New World future? And can Bitcoin save you? Yes! But probably in a different way than you might suspect. Bitcoin has the ability to break the monopoly control of money and open blockchain technology can change how trust works.
0:00 [Question from George Orwell] When I was alive, I wrote a book called 1984. It seems some of you lifees are using it as an instruction manual. Can bitcoin save you?
0:45 2 seminal books that I think anybody interested in the current political climate should read
1:13 1984 by George Orwell
1:58 Brave New World by Aldous Huxley
2:41 Between Orwell and Huxley we see what has emerged today is really kind of the perfect mix of the two
3:16 Can bitcoin save us? I hope so but maybe in an unexpected way.
