Craig Wright: "BTC is not Bitcoin" - YouTube

Channel: unknown

[4]
hello everybody we are in master the
[8]
blockchain summit we are here with Craig
[11]
right thanks a lot for this opportunity
[14]
I would love to ask you how do you think
[18]
it's changed my coin from the very
[20]
original version the one written in to
[26]
now Bitcoin doesn't change the error
[29]
people make is that it's a set fixed
[31]
protocol so where people say Bitcoin
[35]
forked or whatever else
[36]
no there's BTC which is a ticker symbol
[39]
is a new system that is falsely being
[42]
called Bitcoin Bitcoin has a chain of
[45]
digital signatures unlike Segway where
[47]
they're stripped out malleability has a
[50]
reason the nature of the structure
[52]
within Bitcoin is there and it's
[54]
designed to be on blocks it's not this
[56]
anonymous system it's not everyone runs
[59]
a node and all these other
[61]
democratization of Finance scam type
[63]
things that people talk about that's the
[66]
opposite of what the coin was about so
[68]
that's what people like Szabo who's
[71]
following Lawrence Lessig of the 90s
[74]
wanted in their anonymous money thing
[77]
which was government will be able to no
[81]
longer follow our money or whatever us
[83]
which only enables crime fraud then
[87]
whatever else the people who most need
[91]
anonymous money are criminals the large
[94]
ones and even more governments the worst
[97]
person you want to give an anonymous
[99]
money to is government once you have
[102]
governments with no controls with no
[104]
transparency that you can't see where
[105]
they're spending money anymore that's
[107]
when you have a totalitarian system
[112]
is more a store of value or a payment
[116]
system well one you're talking about BTC
[119]
which isn't Bitcoin DSV is Bitcoin the
[122]
way I've made it the whole set in stone
[124]
is important developers do not change
[127]
Bitcoin they don't get to vote on what
[129]
it is or any of this even miners don't
[131]
do that - enforce rules the section last
[135]
section of the web purposes - enforce
[137]
rules that doesn't make it to vote on
[139]
them and forces something that a
[140]
policeman does but you don't want to
[143]
give voting power and the ability for a
[145]
policeman to create rules if you do that
[148]
once again you end up like something
[151]
like Chile people decide on the spur of
[156]
the moment to create laws so then this
[161]
whole concept store value it's utterly
[163]
wrong store value doesn't mean that it's
[168]
going to go up in price or anything like
[169]
this store value means the system that
[173]
you're contracting in on a day to day
[175]
basis will be the same if you're dealing
[179]
in euros the ideal store value is euros
[182]
by definition if you're dealing in US
[185]
dollars the ideal system is US dollars
[188]
because it doesn't mean you'll have more
[190]
money or less money it means you can
[192]
plan a year in advance what you need so
[195]
if you take out a home loan and your
[197]
repayments are say $2,000 u.s. every
[201]
month your store value has to be US
[204]
dollars because you have to pay it in US
[206]
dollars the reason gold used to be a
[210]
store of value was that it was linked
[213]
directly with US dollars cable or pounds
[216]
and other currencies when you had a
[219]
one-to-one mapping from gold to the
[222]
other gold would be able to be used in
[225]
substitution so you can actually use it
[228]
directly this idea it's a store of value
[231]
that's yeah Danny word for it
[234]
it is utterly it is like taking every
[238]
economic book and burning them and
[241]
giving people golden book encyclopedias
[243]
and then hitting them on a hammer
[245]
until they're smart enough to understand
[247]
what the crypto world's view of store
[250]
value means the very main goal is to
[254]
have a very a lot of transaction per
[257]
second it was always the goal in order
[259]
to be a method of payment this is the
[262]
micro payment system Bitcoin was always
[265]
designed that way it's actually written
[266]
that way in the introduction to the
[269]
white paper so micro payments means
[272]
small payments now a lot of people say
[274]
suppose she didn't want micro payments
[276]
because there was a comment that in one
[279]
comment I said when people were talking
[282]
about one ten billionth of a Bitcoin at
[285]
that point which was Bitcoin was ten
[288]
cents so one so one trillionth of a cent
[293]
in value and saying that it wasn't ready
[296]
for it yet a few lines under that
[299]
whichever which was ignored by everyone
[302]
I said right now Bitcoin can do small
[305]
payments in the order of a fraction of a
[306]
cent now that's still the micro payment
[309]
a tenth of a cent or less we can even do
[312]
better than that right now but we were
[314]
talking about something a trillionth of
[316]
a sentence saying Bitcoin wasn't ready
[318]
to handle a trillionth of a cent and it
[320]
wasn't because it needed value so I will
[324]
say now back 10 years ago Bitcoin was
[327]
not ready to handle a trillionth of a
[329]
cent but it was even then ready to
[331]
handle say a hundredth of a santi the
[334]
Bitcoin is set in stone once the
[336]
protocol released nodes order
[339]
transactions basically they're a
[341]
notarization service a time-stamping
[344]
service nodes are not users they're
[348]
Sybil's if they're trying to pretend
[349]
section five of the white paper
[352]
step-by-step details everything a node
[354]
does which includes finding and
[356]
distributing blocks not finding blocks
[359]
and holding them the way that Bitcoin
[361]
works is you have to find a block and
[364]
propagate it to the majority of other
[366]
nodes and only nodes and miners and
[369]
miners are nodes before anyone else
[371]
finds a solution and propagates at first
[374]
so I didn't say acing power I knew about
[378]
a six I mean my first degree was on
[380]
silicon wafer design so I've known about
[383]
Hastings for a long time I've even
[385]
developed them I've got hardware systems
[387]
that have been running in major
[389]
companies that I designed there's a
[392]
reason I didn't say Asics CPU matters
[395]
because as Bitcoin scales things like
[398]
ECDSA and transaction template
[401]
validation becomes more and more
[403]
critical we're going to see as Bitcoin
[405]
scales that the hash rate becomes only
[409]
maybe twenty to thirty percent of the
[411]
overall cost CPU and investment wise so
[415]
actually validating transactions
[418]
ordering transactions and the network
[420]
propagation becomes seventy to eighty
[422]
percent of the cost that's why it says
[424]
CPU and thank you for your time in this
