Vitalik Buterin - the dude who created Etherium 3 years ago at the age of 19, talks with Naval Ravikant - Founder and CEO of Angellist.....
The bottom line - Blockchain will be creating a disruption in the financial industries - and I can see why banks are nervous .
Naval likens crypto currencies to a brain virus - once you know how they work that's all you think about!
Buterin segments the world into those that who’s already heard of bitcoin and those who haven't
So - What is a Crypto currency?
"A peer to peer digital currency - a Platform for distributed applications in a trusted decentralised way . "
"It's a system to record how much money has been spent and by whom ...How much money a person has the right to spend at any given time "
"A central database to store how much money everyone in the blockchain has" - but the genius is how to create this in a decentralised way - where there is no "central server"
"A decentralised system that contains some type of shared memory"
Etherium is a bunch of decentralised applications that can be created to account for transactions
Vitalik likened the base of a crypto to a vending machine - A vending machine encoded a set of rules -you put $2 in machine - water comes out - you don't and water comes out - that's Bad - you do and water comes out - that's good .
Can replace money Wall Street , protocols , visa - within 5-10 years
Etherium is about Blockchain that understands a general purpose programming language - Buterin likens it to a platform - similar to an IOS or Android - where applications can be created on the platform
Blockchain currently processes 3 transactions per second - will max out at 4
Etherium processes 5 will max out at 6
Current transactions - visa , IOT - is 100 of thousands per second - long way for crypto to replace - but it will!
