Can someone suggest some decent youtube crypto channels where i don't have to sift through the childish "bitcoin will bring down the global elite!"(self.ethereum)submitted by [🍰]i keep finding channels that seem ok, and then 2 videos later it turning into some wanker in a fedora ranting about the rothschilds and in-q-tel.I'm getting the impression a bunch of people are still living in 2012.. occupy wall street is long over and i'm way more interested in the technology and industry trends than hearing bad re-hashs of stale alex jones and max keiser talking points.If you've ever downloaded the Bitcoin-qt client or another of the mainstay wallet clients available to Bitcoin users, you probably know the adrenaline rush experienced the first time the blockchain catches up and your BTC balance actually loads: you're firmly in the future.This is nothing like your bank account, nothing like the dollars or euros in your wallet.This is Blade Runner crypto bank stuff, from your couch.Well, the first time I booted up Ethereum's wallet/browser Mist, I felt that - only 10x.

I felt that I was playing around with a clunky, precocious prototype of what cryptocurrency would naturally evolve into sometime circa the year 2020 or 2022, let's say.bitcoin-qt switchesAnd that was at version 0.5; Mist is now up to 0.8 with some juicy new built-in futuristic features, including Stake Voice.litecoin mining rigThe feature is described as "a generic polling app, intended to be able to give Ether Stake holders an opinion on any controversial topic.bitcoin machine sydneyIt doesn't keep any ether, and all it does is verifies that a key holder indeed agrees or disagrees with that statement.bitcoin san francisco drugThe votes and balances are then tallied by the app itself and the tally is updated if any of the currently voting accounts change their balance."litecoin yen

Mass real-time polling of the Ethereum community; again, this stuff feels a bit like where decentralized cryptocurrency would end up in four to six years, only we are getting to play with it today, in prototype form.bitcoin sverige btcxAnd thankfully, so far the mass polling feature has also been used for some lighthearted 2016 present day stuff: one user sought to establish consensus as to whether Nutella hazelnut cocoa spread is, in fact, overrated.bitcoin wallet krakenIn a recent Q&A with developers at the London Ethereum meetup (video embedded above), a woman asked Ethereum's creator, Vitalik Buterin, if he could share a bigger picture insight into the crypto technology he invented with the help of some other leading minds.bitcoin cotizacion hoy"I'm not a coder, but I think what you're doing is going to change society at a very deep level.bitcoin hv

I was wondering if you could share your vision for the next five or ten years," she asked when the microphone got to her."Ummm," Vitalik Buterin replied initially, his typically humble Internet persona true to form at a real world meet up.Then came his rapid fire answer: "I personally focus a lot on the mobile technology side, for the vision for Ethereum we want to create a scalable, fast, world computer that's powerful enough that a large portion of the world's financial, supply chain, identity, whatever infrastructure can actually run on top of it and ideally sort of create a network that can power a large part of the "internet of value" as much as we like or dislike that particular slogan on basically nothing but a few million consumer laptops."Watch the rest of his reply to her question and other questions at the meetup on Ethereum's YouTube channel here.Whatever your current stance or understanding of Ethereum may be, one thing is certain aside from the size of the project's ambitions: public interest is steadily growing.

Of all the videos on my YouTube channel, more than 200 of them, the most popular by far right now is an explainer of what makes Ethereum different from Bitcoin.A number of other Ethereum-related videos and discussions have seen a sharp uptick in views over the last couple months, and subscriptions to my paid weekly newsletter about Ethereum & the cryptocurrency industry have veritably skyrocketed over a similar time frame.Although I have concerns that the recent DAO hack may have somewhat undermined short term confidence in Ethereum and dampened excitement for the nascent smart contracting field, I think slightly longer term - even a month or two out, post hardfork... if that's the route that the community ends up going - it could be back to boom times, in terms of development timelines.In fact, it seems the developers haven't take a breath - 0.8 was pushed out even in the midst of DAO drama.And if you watch the whole clip embedded above from Ethereum London, it should become clear to you as well - that's my hope, at least - that an awful lot of thought and testing has gone into this project so far, and likely will continue to go into it based on current valuation.

Will there be future bugs?No doubt in my mind.But I also think the scope of eventual innovation and commerce Vitalik's creation opens up makes it worthy of future coverage, research, and usage.My view is bolstered by a recent post from the co-founder of Coinbase praising Ethereum as the "forefront of digital currency", posted around the same time Coinbase announced acceptance of Ether on their exchange.Full disclosure: At time of publication, I do hold some bitcoins and ethers for the long term.I'm a long term researcher and user of these currencies.Also Trending: Randy Stair Truck-kun Pizzagate Robbie Rotten Flag Color Representation Parodies #MoreThanARefugee Otto Warmbier's Death Ra Ra Rasputin I'm Gonna Tell You a Great Story AureliaShipping 3 Ethereum PROTIP: Press 'i' to view the image gallery, 'v' to view the video gallery, or 'r' to view a random entry.This submission is currently being researched & evaluated!You can help confirm this entry by contributing facts, media, and other evidence of notability and mutation.

About Ethereum is an open-source blockchain platform which uses distributed computing and allows users to execute scripts executed on the Ethereum Virtual Machine and create smart contracts.Additionally, Ethereum provides the ether cryptocurrency token, which bears many similarities to bitcoin.History In 2013, programmer Vitalik Buterin described Ethereum’s architecture in a white paper titled “A Next-Generation Smart Contract and Decentralized Application Platform.” The Ethereum project was subsequently launched by Buterin, Mihai Alisie, Anthony Di lorio and Charles Hoskinson as a Bitcoin alternative with its own scripting language.On December 14th, 2013, the /r/ethereum subreddit was launched for discussions about the blockchain platform.On June 4th, 2014, the Ethereum YouTube channel uploaded a video explaining Ethereum (shown below).On July 30th, 2015, Ethereum was initially released.Hard Fork In April 2016, the digital decentralized autonomous organization DAO launched, which used the Ethereum blockchain.

On May 27th, The New York Times reported about DAO security vulnerabilities discovered by a group of computer scientists, who claimed hackers could steal tokens collected by the DAO and recommended investors in the project hold off until the flaws were fixed.On June 9th, Blockchain Foundation founder Peter Vessenes published a blog post about a “recursive calls” vulnerability allowing Ethereum smart contracts to be emptied.On June 17th, the DAO was confronted with several cyberattacks, including the recursive calls, leading one hacker to steal 3.6 million ether tokens valued at approximately $50 million USD.After the hack was publicized, the value of ether dropped from $21.50 to $8.On July 20th, Ethereum performed “hard fork” to reappropriate the stolen tokens, which led to a split in the network between Ethereum and Ethereum Classic, though the latter is not supported by the Ethereum Foundation.The Flippening On June 12th, 2017, Ethereum peaked at $420 that morning, leading many to speculate that ether could overtake bitcoin in total market value in an event referred to as a “flippening”.
