Segwit and the Future of Bitcoin with Jimmy Song and Ivan on Tech

in bitcoin •  7 years ago 

Just finished a Live session with Jimmy Song and Ivan on Tech : "Segwit and the Future of Bitcoin"

Thank you for tuning and asking questions. We hope to have covered the important stuff. For those who missed it, I'm linking the recording below:

I'm also planning to make a cut down version of the talk

Objectives:
Scenarios for Aug 1st
Dispel some rumors / false information that is spreading in the bitcoin community
Theme: Will Aug 1st Lead to a Better Bitcoin?

Questions

Tell us about yourself How did you get into Bitcoin
Why do we need to fix Bitcoin Scaling? (eg. currently a large number of transactions create higher fees)
Optimistic Scenario - Locking mechanism etc
Failed Scenario - Betray and chain split
Practical: what do “regular” people absolutely need to know until the August the 1st? For example: is it safe to transact during that time etc..
How do we think we can heal the wounds and get everyone working together again
What misconceptions do you want to dispel - what do you think people get most confused about

        I bought my first 3 Bitcoins when they were at €500,- at a BTC ATM in a bar. :-) They all thought I was insane putting all those €50,- bills in this machine.

          Great Interview!

          Smart Contracts on Bitcoin? I am Blown away.
          Right now i feel like all the other coins are just experiments to find out what is good and stable. Before stuff gets introduced onto the real thing: Bitcoin.

            I understand now, even if enough nodes are locked in and signal segwit2x, things are still unsure. There are still many ways how things can go wrong.

            Quite scary if just one big miner can jeopardize the whole switch over.

                            If I started a YouTube show, what content would most make you want to watch? (Every choice would be Bitcoin related, of course)
