Embrace the Good, Reject the Fear
In this talk, Andreas looks at the symbiotic relationship between opportunities that Bitcoin offers for improving India's general welfare, as well as the talent and potential India can contribute in return to help it thrive. He argues that, like the early internet, Bitcoin began as a weird and difficult place for the average consumer; if we embrace the good and reject the fear of this global phenomenon, we can make the financial world as accessible and intuitive as a swipe on an iPad.
