    In “Outside the Golden Cage of Banking," Andreas covers the history of financial regulation in the United States, and how banks became the cop of last resort in countries around the world. In the last episode, he prompted you to think about combating the politics of fear. Echoing previous talks like “Money as a System of Control,” he also questions why  we have come to accept totalitarian surveillance in our financial lives while protesting against other invasions of privacy. Finally, he argues that Bitcoin will thrive outside the golden cage of the banking cartel.
    This talk took place on June 27th 2019 at the Munich Bitcoin Meetup in Munich, Germany.

    Episode 14: Bitcoin - A Swiss Bank In Everyone's Pocket

    In “Bitcoin: A Swiss Bank in Everyone's Pocket," Andreas examines the morality of technology and the politics of fear, including former President Barack Obama's infamous statement that broad adoption of cryptography and cryptocurrencies would be like having "a Swiss bank account your pocket." In the last episode, he questioned the viability of Facebook’s Libra project. Now he analyses how the same fear mongering is being used to target journalists and whistleblowers who use these tools to expose war crimes. Once we equip more people around the world with the equivalent of a Swiss bank in their pocket, the overwhelming majority would use it to pursue happiness, healthcare, and a better life for their children.
    This talk took place on June 23rd 2019 at the Volkshaus for the Swiss Bitcoin Meetup in Zurich, Switzerland.

    CORRECTIONS:
    At 3:30, Andreas quotes former President Obama's keynote at the South by Southwest (SXSW) festival in 2016. While the quote was interpreted to have an impact on Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies, Obama was not specifically talking about cryptocurrencies. Instead, the statement was made in the context of the Apple vs. FBI legal battle, and whether consumer devices like the iPhone should have strong encryption that the government can't crack.

    In “Libre Not Libra: Facebook's Blockchain Project," Andreas answers the burning question… Has he tried haggis? Just kidding… He shares his thoughts on the recently released Libra whitepaper, as part of a permissioned blockchain project spearheaded by Facebook. Years of jokes about “FaceCoin” and “ZuckBucks” have finally come to life - sort of. In the previous episode, he talked about how some venture capitalists are monkeying around by downplaying the killer applications of open blockchains  in favor of… bananas. Now he makes us wonder whether Libra will even survive to become a production network. Is Silicon Valley coming for banking? Will Libra’s challenges have any impact on open public blockchains?
    This talk took place on June 19th 2019 at the Scottish Blockchain Meetup in Edinburgh, Scotland.

    In “The Killer App: Bananas on the Blockchain?” Andreas focuses on the two main killer apps in the open blockchain ecosystem: sound money and governance. In the last episode, he advocated for universal access to basic finance. Now he shoots back at the elitist finance tycoons who say they “don’t need cryptocurrencies,” while prioritising venture capital funding towards projects that lack all of an open blockchain’s best features. He argues that their failure to consider the broader needs of the other six billion people. Watch out for those banana peels, Mr. Buffet!

    Website: https://aantonop.com/
    In “Universal Access to Basic Finance,” Andreas advocates for protecting and expanding access to universal basic finance. Echoing previous talks like “Worse Than Useless,” he explains why the question of how cryptocurrencies should be regulated is a distraction, and that eradicating cash will not affect the most powerful bad actors, who operate with state-sponsored impunity and banking licenses. He also declares that those who develop surveillance infrastructure have exhibited moral bankruptcy and should face a period of scrutiny over their ethical integrity.

    CLARIFICATIONS:
    At 17:42, Andreas says that women in Saudi Arabia can't own property and bank accounts. While they legally can, it is usually in a relatively very restricted capacity. To buy or sell property, particularly if high-value, they often require the support of multiple men. Claims on property are held in higher regard when they come from men rather than women. Women can use bank accounts as long as they have permission from their male guardian(s). They have only recently been encouraged to pursue home ownership themselves. Furthermore, LGBT persons, including those identifying as women, have next to no protections under the law.

    In “Another Brick in the Firewall,” Andreas discusses the new security architecture that we have developed within globally-connected societies and open networks of the information economy. Echoing previous talks like “Bubble Boy,” he warns against the pitfalls of relying on third parties and bureaucratic institutions when we fail to scale trust, within a city surrounded by historical relics from outdated and oppressive security models.

    In “Picking the Right Blockchain for the Job,” Andreas asks which blockchain is the best blockchain, and then shows why that question falls short. He argues that we should choose tools that are best designed for the applications we want to build. We must also understand that what we create may be used by the market in unanticipated ways, and that function can change over time.

    In “Worse Than Useless: Financial Surveillance,” Andreas draws a connection between medical pseudoscience and the financial totalitarian surveillance, as practiced by modern banks and state intelligence agencies. He explores the hidden externalities and moral hazards inherent in KYC/AML policies and how overblown / misplaced concerns about so-called “black money” are disconnecting countries and even continents from the world economy. Why is it common sense that money laundering is the fundamental business of fully-licensed, regulated banks? Who runs the real "dark net"? He urges that, before we try to “fix” the financial system, we should first be sure we are not making it worse.
    This talk took place November 25th 2017 at the Riga Art Space for the Baltic Honeybadger conference in Riga, Latvia.

    CLARIFICATION:
    At 17:01, there is a quote from Martin Luther King Jr., derived from a sermon he delivered in Louisville on March 29, 1956. The full quote is: “Peace is not merely the absence of some negative force — war, tension, confusion, but it is the presence of some positive force — justice, goodwill, the power of the kingdom of God.”

    In “Money as a System of Control,”Andreas reviews the three functions of money that you may remember from your first introduction to economics: store of value (SoV), medium of Exchange (MoE), and unit of Account (UoA). But what if there is actually a fourth use of money which subordinates all the other functions? In the last episode, he prompted you to think about whether you really understand what money is; now he prompts you to question whether the money in your bank account is really yours. He also argues that our monetary systems have become an extrajudicial tool of state actors to exert political influence over large populations, where freedom of speech and association can be snuffed at the bank.
    This talk took place on September 12th 2017 at the Advanced Digital Innovation Summit in Vancouver, Canada.

    In “Escaping the Global Banking Cartel,” Andreas asks why we are familiar with the cartels in drugs and oil, but rarely acknowledge one of the largest cartels in the world: banking. In the last episode, “The Currency Wars,” he talked about Bitcoin providing an exit to those suffering from currency crises in their countries. Now he analyses recent (though often unacknowledged) history with the 2008 financial crisis, the corrupt revolving door with regulators, how kleptocracy is destroying democracy,  and why Bitcoin matters as an exit when voice is no longer an option.
    This talk took place on November 10th 2018 as part of the 'Internet of Money' tour at the Edmonds Center for the Arts near Seattle, Washington.
