Georgios Konstantopoulos’ Post

This speech was fantastic, and not what I expected. I honestly expected more anti-bank, anti-government, anti-regulation talk. That's what we've become accustomed to on X and other platforms, and what usually gets the crowd riled up. However, this speech exactly what I should have expected from Erik. I met Erik in 2018 at the Denver Day for Crypto (my first crypto conference, where I met Matthew McClintock). He gave a talk there, telling us the establishments were going to fight us. They weren't going to willingly give up power and control. Spot on. In this speech for Coin Center, we get a very aspirational and forward-looking talk, while also looking back, using history as a guide. Using the move toward Protestantism, and the formation of the United States, Erik shows us we always move toward more control of our own lives. We don't like being controlled by centralized entities, whether it's control of our faith, our ability to govern ourselves, or in this case, our provenance over our own financial and economic future. If given the choice, we choose self-sovereignty. On a smaller scale, in the past 20 years we've chosen to cut phone cords in favor of mobile. We've chosen more personalized streaming media over settling for what radio stations and cable networks want to provide. Of course, the financial choice is bigger. With more powerful players in both the private and government sectors. However, this talk gives us the ability to calmly look at the historical movements, and feel comfortable knowing those in the room are on the right path, regardless of the roadblocks. We're on the right path, and it does have to happen in the US, where the traitors of 1776 pushed forward, knowing they were right. Anyone vehemently against crypto for the technology, or the financial system it creates, very simply has an un-American opinion, in the true sense of what "American" originally meant. I appreciate this speech so much, as an aspirational view of what is being built to move us toward the greater self-control and self-sovereignty over our financial present and future that we always seek. Thanks, Erik https://lnkd.in/gUS2bdPC

Cryptos at the most critical stage for their future existence [Video] Source: https://lnkd.in/dAzugQpK In 2021, El Salvador marked a historic milestone by becoming the first nation to adopt Bitcoin as legal tender, igniting a global debate on the viability and future of cryptocurrencies. Despite few countries following suit, the broader acceptance of cryptocurrencies remains limited, raising questions about their potential for global dominance. Critics argue that the adoption by a small segment of the global population, often in countries with weak financial systems, is insufficient to predict widespread success. This video explores the significance of current adoption rates and the potential for cryptocurrencies to penetrate global markets, not merely as alternative currencies but as innovative financial products. Unlike traditional currencies, cryptocurrencies do not engage in macroeconomic policies like controlling interest rates or money supply. Instead, they offer revolutionary transaction methods via blockchain technology, challenging conventional financial paradigms. To assess cryptocurrencies' potential for global dominance, we apply the Law of Diffusion of Innovations, which segments adopters into Innovators, Early Adopters, Early Majority, Late Majority, and Laggards. Current data indicates that cryptocurrencies are primarily in the Early Adopters stage, with 7.21% of the global population owning digital assets. However, significant variation exists, with some countries exhibiting higher adoption rates and entering the Early Majority stage. Our analysis identifies three distinct stages of cryptocurrency adoption across different countries. In nations like the UAE and Singapore, cryptocurrencies have reached the Early Majority, demonstrating tangible benefits and broader acceptance. In contrast, the majority of countries are still in the Early Adopters stage, with key influencers driving initial acceptance. The next critical phase for cryptocurrencies involves transitioning from Early Adopters to the Early Majority, necessitating a substantial increase in global adoption rates. This shift is crucial for achieving widespread acceptance and establishing cryptocurrencies as mainstream financial tools. The analysis highlights the role of Early Adopters, particularly the younger, well-educated demographic, in influencing broader societal acceptance and overcoming skepticism. The journey of cryptocurrencies is at a pivotal point. Achieving global dominance requires strategic efforts to engage Early Adopters, leveraging their influence to foster wider acceptance. The collective endeavor of innovators, adopters, and the broader community is essential for cryptocurrencies to realize their potential as transformative financial instruments, promising a revolutionary impact on the global financial landscape. https://lnkd.in/dM4qJT6Y
