who is this

amir?

i am Rusian 

maybe this prezident in india? or guy in china?

i am think this guy very popular in amerika or europe? 

Yes, I do know him, in fact I spoke to him face to face only a few days ago. But he told me not to reveal his identity, so meh.

I agree this guy is a lot more important if you want to be free, than those screaming for gubmint to fuck them in the ass with regulations, but hopefully he's not taking drugs as they induce cell degeneration but it looks like he is on them. Btw, is darkwallet delayed?

No you weirdo, I like stimulants. I've done mounds of cocaine back in the day

You seem to know a lot about the drug sub culture  

What would be your drug of choice ?

I'm betting on Mogadon.

Yeah these bastards are using him on purpose, the audience simply won't connect and will picture him when Bitcoin comes up. His ugly face is doing a huge disservice. This is propaganda.

As I said in the other thread on this topic

They interview him on purpose. Incoherent, unpresentable & controversial. Exactly what they know their audience won't relate too. They can count on him to make Bitcoin look bad without even trying.

Have you seen the interview?

Q. How can Bitcoin make the world a better place?
A. Because a 9 year old kid in Iran can download it and then start a gambling website.

Thanks Amir...

(I guess he would be OK talking at colleges/young adults that he could relate to more.)

I repeat in case people still haven't watched it, this is a vid of Amir giving a great talk, proving definitively that Amir can talk eloquently in public about bitcoin:

Inspiring interview although he has trouble staying on topic.

You are a noob indeed as your name suggest, so you probably should STFU before throwing shit to one of the persons who has made crucial contributions to BTC.

And no, there's no "more professional and knowledgeable" people in the UK to talk about Bitcoin. He has been a key Bitcoin developer since early on and his current projects (dark wallet, stealth addresses) are some of the most important and exciting developments for BTC..

Last but not least, he understands Bitcoin perfectly and he says what is need to be said. He is not wearing "like a trump", he  lives in anarchists communities and probably doesn't give a fuck about what you might consider fancy clothes, you should probably listen to what he has to say instead of judging him by his looks.

Finally, this is not his best interview, but we need more Amirs and less snakes like some of the top members of the foundation who are only interested in their fiat profits - amir is the opposite and probably Satoshi is proud of him. Do not forget why Bitcoin was created.

Get out of Bitcoin. You clearly have no clue what it is the goal of it. People like you are doing more damage to it than good.

Judging people of how they look? You are retarded, period.


Bitcoin is designed for people. Tell me, how people look like in moments when they are not forced into dress code by bullshits?

Our fundamental economics are totally screwed up. How interest, fractional reserve banking and various debt instruments that create "units" of value out of thin air and then use that power to usurp control leads to a lot of mismanagement/allocation of resources.

The Blockchain fixes some of the inherent corrupt practices of our monetary system.

Its not about making things 'equal' as in resource distribution. But more as in 'equal access' to capital so that whoever wants to sell something and as long as there is someone to buy it, then you create a free market. A removal of the middle man will allow much more friction-less transactions. In that kind of a decentralized world, capital will find the best uses through open decentralized exchanges. Some people may value wars more, some removing poverty. The idea of how to allocate resources won't be decided by a few bankers, but by a more open decentralized, freer and a more democratic society.

Amir was alluding to these issues. And given the constraints, I think he did a pretty good job.

A really charming and passionate guy whose delivery could be worked on. He certainly could think about putting more structure into his replies and semi-preparing his answers. He is clearly more than capable of giving the traditional type of straight-forward interview but, like bitcoin, he's disruptive and anti-establishment by nature.

Having said that, kids these days talk just like this with off-shoot ontop of an off-shoot, so to all the college and uni kids watching that he would have made perfect sense and they will be painting up their bitcoin T-shirts right now.

I don't doubt this dude's knowledge of BTC and abilities as a coder, but guy doesn't look like a good public voice and face for Bitcoin.

I've read his contributions to the community as a coder and BTC evangelist, but something about him just yells "Punk Bitch", when you see him in interviews.

Leave the public speaking to Andrea Antonopolous, Marc Andreeson, Fred Wilson, Jeremy Liew, and the Winklevii. 

Yes, but the point is that the step towards an answer to our economic and political difficulties, is to disrupt the current power and wealth - hand more power to the people; that's part of what Bitcoin helps us do.

From a standpoint where you want to make things equal for people, what he says makes sense.

However, in the real world, people own stuff and can do whatever they want with it. If I wanted to and had enough money, I could buy an entire street in central London, and then let it stay vacant while homeless people roam the streets. And it would be perfectly legal, although not very moral..

I think he did quiet well actually. Trying to explain the social fundamentals of the Blockchain and how its an equalizer which will create much better resource management.

"We have property everywhere and yet there are so many homeless..."

Given the pressures of trying to explain such issues in 30 second soundbites I am sure is not that easy.

Thought the interview was fine, I'd be shitting myself talking on national television. Also bare in mind the BBC is pretty much state TV so they've got their own agenda.

I honestly don't know what some of you are babbling on about.

One of the developers of BTC  was interviewed on the BBC. They went to Amir because he is a recognised expert in his field - no conspiracy, no CIA involvement.

Some of you have spat the dummy because he didn't wear a shirt and tie during said interview and are now worried that your BTC holdings may have been adversely affected.

In my opinion either BTC will sink or swim according to its merit and its utility - and we all know that it has lots of merit and utility.

In the meantime I think we should all be allowed to express ourselves in a way we each see fit.

And don't worry too much about how you think he comes across to the "masses" - you can't speak for them, only yourselves.
A lot of people will have brothers and sons and uncles and partners that look not too dissimilar to Amir - if you yourself didn't like the way he dressed then at least have the balls to say it, and don't try to pass the book onto the nonexistent "masses". A lot of people in the UK are sick and tired of being preached to and conned by the suits, believe me.

Lets not forget that BTC is much more Amir Taaki's baby than it is mine or yours [even if you are heavily invested] - so lets show the man the respect he deserves instead of this threads kind of bitching vitriol.
