Welcome to the premiere! It begins at 9am PST / 12 noon EST / 5pm GMT, etc. In this talk, Andreas takes note of the difference in perspective between those in the northern vs. southern hemispheres regarding the current state of Bitcoin and the broader cryptocurrency market. Then he addresses the question about what success looks like, and how the road to monopolies and regulatory capture is based on the assumption of a zero-sum game. In contrast, for a real free market and an open creative commons, principles are the most valuable differentiator. NOTE: At 11:36, I mentioned "maximalism." The beliefs and values associated with being a "maximalist" are varied and not necessarily equal or compatible with those of the rent-seeking business attitude I was describing in that portion of the talk.
