@CanadianSatoshi check that talk

[Bram Kanstein @bramk]

Quite possibly the best Bitcoin explainer of all time.

Bitcoin is absolutely a mindblowing technological discovery, and extremely profound in its impact on the (flawed) status quo.

Competition drives cost down.
Free stuff by the government drives up demand without increasing supply. Government then prints money, which drives up costs again through inflation.

"Hate speech" is an invention by the far left to control any speech that they disagree with.

It's simply a fancy word for controlling the narrative.
