Bitcoin’s emergence as a global digital currency has been as revolutionary as it has been erratic. But while fledgling investors obsess over every fluctuation in the cryptocurrency market, nation-states are more interested in the underlying blockchain technology and its ability to revolutionize how business is done on the internet and beyond. VICE’s Michael Moynihan travels to Russia with Vitalik Buterin, inventor of the ethereum blockchain, to get a front-row seat to the geopolitical tug of war over Internet 3.0.

No internet – no cryptocurrency
“Nearly impossible to hack” why real cash is still king.

It hasn't yet but we'll see.
*Takes bite of lettuce*.
This guy is a ledgend.
This is the future currency? Okay.. bye fiat and greedy bankers.. what next? Greedy ?????
Ponzi type schemes which are legal lol the only people pushing this are the people who benefit financially from it. Giving value to something which has no value is a suckers bet. They sorta tried the same scam with Gold (at least this has world wide recognised value and is useable) if you all recall the false high ceiling of it for a long time. BUT, the sellers and investors all wanted to lie to you and mill you all for everything they could, which they miraculously held up and kept an overly inflated high value. There are a lot of less riskier investments then FIAT currency in the high risk stock market game
Bitcoin has rallied to $8500btc, is showing strength in defending $8000 mark. If this holds, we should expect a rally upwards, only this time, it will be stronger and sustained. My strategy the last months has been to keep trading despite the sideways price movement. I have used Fidelity markets exchange. Fidelity markets exchange has made my goal achievable because I have been able to trade from 1.5BTC to 5.5BTC. I thought holding my coins were the smartest thing to do until I traded on fidelity markets. WhatsApp = +18177257077

Smh
The guy vitalik look like an Alien
Stanford University recently made its own cryptocurrency called Pi coin. Pi coin can be mined on your phone (yes, your phone!) and uses next to zero energy. Mining it thus costs nothing. Pi coin is relatively young but is growing very fast. Early people can certainly earn money in the long run using Pi coin. You can find more details about Pi coin here: https://medium.com/@secret0x90_64159/pi-is-a-new-digital-currency-being-developed-by-a-group-of-stanford-phds-6da5692a9e9b
Why do I share this: if you download with my referral we both get 1 Pi coin. It is good to know pi coin ow is virtually worth nothing, but its value can significantly rise when the network becomes huge! If you would like to use my referral use this link and get 1 pi coin, download on your phone via: minepi.com/phdgroot. The invitation code is: phdgroot
Thank you and wish you all a great day!
I thought VICE was no longer on HBO? The last time I subscribed to HBO I was disappointed that VICE news hadn't had any new episodes since the last time I watched, didn't seem like much of anything new VICE was on HBO.
Good afternoon! Great video! Those who are not familiar with PRISM cryptocurrency – learn! PRIZM at the moment is the most promising coin, quick settlement, minimal transfer fee, bypassing banks and any borders!
(DIN) aka dinero is the new crypto that's replacing bitcoin on the dark web because it's not traceable like bitcoin is expect prices on dinero to sky rocket
More like the biggest scammers on the blockchain. For those of use who fell for it, and held contracts with Genesis Mining, are well aware of their practices. Contacting anyone from Genesis support will take months (if you are lucky).
Let's not pretend it's out of "their" control.
Planned and organized decades ago.
i bought some bitcoins back in 2015 when they were around 300-400 CAD, but i used them all to buy drugs :'(
LMAO he said hi to him
7:05 when you even give a shit on this all guys in suits and you know you own more than all these other together :))
Is this the a episode or is there some more on HBO?
Crypto, food pics and porn on the internet are the cause of global warming.
You’ll realise it one day, but hopefully not before it’s too late.
11:25 can anyone feel this stupid sexual tension between these two guys?
This is ecological disaster on a scale not seen!!! One transaction is about 250 kwh or a 1000 miles drive with an EV.
10:55
The only thing "feeble" is those little toothpick arms. Dude probably couldn't even lift a pool stick lol
the reason our GPU prices will stay this expensive 😀
fake
Yea if you want to prevent that brain drain problem you need to offer more liberties, reduce corruption and so on. Then those in power would have to go and the country would prosper..yea lets just put some bubble gum on that leak, we got this.
No time is better than now to buy bitcoins. Reason is that we are at the verge of a strong bull run. Another approach I have taken that has been so profitable for me is not just buying but also strategically growing my portfolio by trading using the well-known signal service of Allan Shaw. I tried it first though freely on a demo account and it worked so well I invested and traded my first 1 btc which 3x in just 2 weeks so I keep growing my coins steadily with just my initial capital. It’s a very interesting and easy to use approach and I am sure this will not be news here cos most people that would come across this post would probably already have used and benefited from his training or trading services. His contacts are WhatsApp ( +48 732121976 ) or Telegram (@Allanshaw) for those who don't know him and would love to try a different but very successful approach towards realizing dreams in the cryptocurrency business.
ethereum is currently transitioning from a proof of work model, to a proof of stake model. For now it will be half/half but I don't exactly know what the future hodls. In my eyes, mining ETH is getting obsolete if they plan on rolling out a 100% proof of stake ethereum network in the future, if proof of stake proves better.
woox long lost brother?
Kazan is beautiful.
This is why we need ANDREW YANG as America's 2020 president. He is the ONLY candidate knowledgeable about cryptocurrency and other tech-related issues that will have an effect on our country. #yang2020
Whether you like it or not XRP is the future
Anyone else see him choke on his water when buddy asked what Putin said to him
Vitalik, the only person, who pretty much every government wants as a citizen. That is some accolade.
I love the fact that right here, you have Vitalik Buterin, the most likely candidate to be decentralized global dictator in ten or twenty years time. The most unassuming character, but maybe just the right person for the job.
The Russians and their allies are probably counting on being able to throw enough money at Ethereum mining together to mount a 51% attack against it.
What exactly makes Iran and Venezuela "rogue regimes?" Because they aren't subservient to the United States?
11:48 Privacy hype incoming boys. I know what I will be accumulating at these bargains #ZEC #XMR
HOLLLLDD ? these are the lines
Satoshi did not create blockchain
Ask yourselves, why would they include Vitalik in these awkward eating moments in this video? Vice does these things on purpose to help shape your opinion. They are very good at doing hit pieces disguised as an unbiased documentary.
Vitalik was stolen from Area51
