0:00 Introduction
1:46 That small change
2:48 The most interesting things do not work in theory, but do work in practice
3:32 What Bitcoin started is different, not because it replaces central banking, but because it opens the door to a new form of competition
6:03 Aerobic metabolism
7:49 Punctuated equilibrium
8:52 On January 3rd 2009, a meteor appeared in the sky of our society
12:58 Bitcoin doesn't give a damn about central banks
14:06 We will serve the needs of people who are not being served today
15:25 What kind of organization is threatened by people having independent financial empowerment and control over their own money?
17:30 Evolution of bitcoin
20:11 A currency that belongs to the world, not a single nation.
23:51 With these forms of new money, your instinct is to evaluate them in the context of traditional money
24:54 Bitcoin is evolving from a simple means of exchange, translated into another currency, to a store of value with its own purchasing power, completely independent.
26:31 We are now moving into the environmental niche of the cryptocurrency
30:33 Do you think banks can still add the value of trust on the layer of a payment system on bitcoin?
33:40 When you start doing lending peer-to-peer from anonymous people, anonymous can't really work because of reputation. What are your ideas?
38:50 How do you envision the link between the monetary policy of these protocols and the needs of payables?
43:09 Can we have blockchains without bitcoin?
50:22 Wouldn't it be more honest and more useful for clarity just to stress how much a replicated multi-master database with digital signature without blocks and without chain is not adopted?
55:57 If you would have your own bitcoin startup and if you would be selling point-of-sale, how would you market?
1:00:05 Honest people will have their privacy exposed and bad people will just use backdoorless cryptography on top of whatever layer. Do you share any ideas on these?
1:04:51 What do you think about proof-of-work sustainability in the long term and do you think that bitcoin developers are trying to implement proof-of-stake in bitcoin?
1:07:56 What do you think about decentralized Oracles?
1:14:03 I think when bitcoin moves forward there will be two types of courses. I want to know your feedback on my vision.

This site provides links to random videos hosted at YouTube, with the emphasis on random. 🎥
Origins of the Idea 🌱
The original idea for this site stemmed from the need to benchmark the popularity of a video against the general population of YouTube videos. 🧠
Challenges Faced 🤔
Obtaining a large sample of videos was crucial for accurate ranking, but YouTube lacks a direct method to gather random video IDs.
Even searching for random strings on YouTube doesn't yield truly random results, complicating the process further. 🔍
Creating Truly Random Links 🛠️
The YouTube API offers additional functions enabling the discovery of more random videos. Through inventive techniques and a touch of space-time manipulation, we've achieved a process yielding nearly 100% random links to YouTube videos.
About YouTube 📺
YouTube, an American video-sharing website based in San Bruno, California, offers a diverse range of user-generated and corporate media content. 🌟
Content and Users 🎵
Users can upload, view, rate, share, and comment on videos, with content spanning video clips, music videos, live streams, and more.
While most content is uploaded by individuals, media corporations like CBS and the BBC also contribute. Unregistered users can watch videos, while registered users enjoy additional privileges such as uploading unlimited videos and adding comments.
Monetization and Impact 🤑
YouTube and creators earn revenue through Google AdSense, with most videos free to view. Premium channels and subscription services like YouTube Music and YouTube Premium offer ad-free streaming.
As of February 2017, over 400 hours of content were uploaded to YouTube every minute, with the site ranking as the second-most popular globally. By May 2019, this figure exceeded 500 hours per minute. 📈
