You're listening to YAP, Young and Proponning Podcast, where anything goes if it makes you go.

I'm Halataha and we're about to explore one of the most innovative and error defining discoveries of the past century.

Cryptocurrency. This new way of storing value has entered mainstream adoption and so we've got to understand it to make the right decisions for our future.

Episode 2. Where YAP and about the Internet of Value?

For the first time ever in the history of the world, we're creating this Internet of Value, whereby without any bank, government or institution in the middle, I can exchange value with you.

So Bitcoin itself doesn't start until January 3rd, 2009. By 2010, 11, there's some level of traction. By 2012, people are really excited about this technology.

Satoshi Nakamoto wrote a technical white paper that really set the foundation of how the Bitcoin blockchain works.

Bitcoin is the sixth largest currency in the world out of nearly 300 countries.

And so it's this weird new asset. But for all intents and purposes, it is working.

And as a result, when people saw that it was working over the past few years, more and more other cryptocurrencies, other blockchains and other tokens, such as Ethereum, have been created.

So if you take away Bitcoin tomorrow morning, obviously it would hurt the blockchain, but it would not make this financial genie, this thing that everybody is calling the Internet of Money or the Internet of Value, it would not make that go away.

Because the idea of this digital currency that is not issued by a central authority, a government bank, is so powerful that the people have voted with their wallets, with their time, with their resources.

That this is the thing that people want.

That's the point. We grow and learn together.
