Risk management should always come first, the reason many traders lose money is not simply due to inexperience or a lack of knowledge of the market, but because of poor risk management

Bitcoin halving is fully done, now miners need to earn x2 of what they have earned to remain profitable. In other words, $80000 is needed for miners to stay profitable with current halving rate. Bullish times ahead, only few understand.

Many people get wealthy suddenly in the Crypto market, while others become destitute over a 20-year period and lose everything. Everyone has their own strategy, risk tolerance, and desired outcome.

As an IT professional who has read the initial papers on cryptography >> blockchain; I can vouch for the importance of this talk by saying that this is the first explanation of the blockchain technology and its ramifications that I've understood. I particularly liked the analog showing historical world changing inventions.

"Every company in the world today, not just the intermediaries, are at risk of having competition from a blockchain version of themselves"

Thanks for this, Richie. Couldn't have put it in a better way. Awesome presentation!

[joshuasamuel]

I've watched MANY blockchain videos, and collectively they've all helped me grasp the concept. I would actually consider myself an expert by now on all things blockchain. Richie Etwaru has nailed it, it all comes down to TRUST. GREAT JOB

Watch at 2X speed, don't keep Earphones at full volume and you can gather valuable insight from this talk. Good content.

[radhikajain]

It's one of my fav Tedx talks, even though it was 22 mins long I didn't get bored for even a single sec. I was struggling to understand block chain but this talk made everything easy. ✌

[crilledisst]

I'm saddened by the amount of people who get caught up in silly details and not focusing on the message of this brilliant presentation. Using dynamics or just being plain silly sometimes can really help a listener remember a lecture and god knows that there are plenty of smart but boring lecturers in the world of information technology (and elsewhere too). This was some very serious food for thought and I really hope that more people find this video. I'm getting the book!

[gavinralph]

Please I need someone to help me trade or invest the forex or crypto market because I'm tired of trading in losses myself. I've blown my account twice and it's frustrating..

[joannebonnett]

*GOOD VIDEO; EVERYONE NEEDS MORE THAN THEIR BASIC SALARY TO BE FINANCIALLY SECURED, THE BEST THING TO DO WITH YOUR MONEY IS TO INVEST, MONEY LEFT IN SAVINGS ALWAYS END UP USED WITH NO RETURNS, *

[riannadsilva]

I don't know what you guys are talking about, I loved it! I don't think I understood what blockchain ''really'' meant before watching this! So kudos!

[switchingzener]

I agree the gap that needs to be filled is the one related with TRUST. See this is not a video to watch if you have not done your homework already and know where blockchain technology is. He made his point. Now I see so many hate comments that it would be nice if they link to a presentation of their own to watch how fantastic they are.

[MadMaxBLD]

Watched several videos and read articles to get a grip on the concept. FINALLY this guy gets it to me in an understandable way!

[loicjikko]

the public speaking skills from this guy is straight out of a textbook: I'm fascinated!

[MrRagaUTube]

Richie explains a difficult concept without depending on technology and jargon! Simply wonderful! Thank you!

[jimviau]

This is the best Ever public speaking overall performance I have seen! Clear, concise, content, charming, bold and most of all, productive.

[thecommanded]
