Andreas Antonopoulos (aka Bitcoin Jesus) - Episode 2 - How the unprecedented worldwide crisis in Central Banking system led to the growth of Bitcoin

First broadcast December 2, 2016

Andreas Antonopoulos is a Greek California-based information security expert, tech-entrepreneur and author. He is a host on the Let’s Talk Bitcoin podcast and a teaching fellow for the Master in Science of Digital Currencies at the University of Nicosia.

This was another fascinating and wide-ranging talk about the challenges facing society as a whole, through the lens of currency and corruption. It’s arguably just as relevant today as it was when we spoke back in 2016.

Andreas has a brilliant way of simplifying complicated financial concepts and showing us why they have an immediate and massive impact on our lives.

Watch as Andreas and I discuss:

  • His strong views on Donald Trump
  • Why the current banking system is inherently corrupt
  • How money can end up being worth less than goats**t
  • Why Bitcoin is punk rock
  • The death of cash
  • Why you should question any government that is suspicious of Bitcoin
  • The secret identity of Bitcoin’s inventor
  • and so much more!
