It would be really helpful if these were uploaded to YouTube Music. I love to listen to your podcasts but just dont have the capability to sleep my phone while listening when im working out or walking.,(reply>), ​@Garth Woodworth I am optimistic too. <br><br>I think blockchain will do amazing things for products and services which will be the mechanism for trustless relationships and transactions but I don't think it's a solution to central banking or inflation.<br><br>I'm not even sure having a completely trustless socio-economic system is a good idea.  It's not been a particularly good thing moving in that direction in the last few decades.<br><br><br>Money is just a tool at the end of the day and if it is managed in such a way that allows people to take risks, then it a good working tool.<br> If it punishes people for taking risk, then is a tool of suppression. <br>Fairness, openness, transparency, etc is not as important.,(reply>), @columba saint I completely relate to your distaste for all the corruption.<br>There are a lot of moving parts, some of them good some of them very bad. I’m an optimist, I think the basic human trajectory is towards good. However there’s always a lot of bad apples in the mix, who will try to find ways to take unfair advantage.<br>The fundamental thesis behind cryptos is to promote a trustless society, which term I find totally unintuitive, but the intention behind it is sound: society’s elements should interrelate on a basis where trust is not needed because transactions are mathematically guaranteed.<br>No reason why blockchain technology could not accommodate every single kind of business transaction, and basically eradicate corruption within them.<br>Your data would be your own and not absconded with by YouTube and Facebook. Your content would be your own.Your privacy would be your own. Your money would be your own, and 100% under your control.<br>There are no guarantees, but I think this is the way we are going, no doubt with a lot of bumps along the road,(reply>), @Garth Woodworth Free speech is worth dying for IMO. However while it's a problem here too, it's not Youtube we need to smash that home to. It's every government and lawmaker in the western world.<br><br>Youtube/Google are a far bigger problem and threat than their censorship. That's a small by-product of the corruption.,(reply>), @Garth Woodworth I should probably admit to being a Linux admin for 16 years,(reply>), @Garth Woodworth They are nothing more than lawless petty criminals with government backing. Their software is malware/ransomware and even if it wasn't they are clearly in contravention of anti-trust laws among other things.<br><br>Fundamentally your computer is a copying technology that copies data. For some reason this fact eludes many supposedly knowledgeable people. Every single time a company or idea goes against people using their technology freely, it fails miserably. The history of game and music copy protection is a pretty pathetic example. My personal favourite is the Minidisc, which you STILL get people trying to defend it's existence.<br><br>Youtube is a private company is absolutely no defence either. Protection rackets are not private companies, they are criminal enterprises.<br><br>Youtube provide a platform to stream content from as a viewer. That BY DEFINITION means it is downloaded to your computer/phone. What Youtube and it's parent company Google have done is lock down your access to the device you own to stop you saving that content or turning your screen off. <br><br>That's the same as buying fuel for your car  then the pump owners reaching into your pocket for your car keys, popping the bonnet and putting a speed limiter on your car then smashing your wing mirrors.
