Not really a transcript. I wrote that article earlier this year, and the talk was an independent take on the same theme. I realise this minor error is also apparent on the Seasteading Institute website.

Ah, thanks, I updated the original post to reflect your clarification.

Possibly the first mention of Bitcoin at any TED-related event?
Well, there was at least one TEDx talk by nefario: http://www.tedxleeds.com/nefario-james-mccarthy/

Nice, I stand corrected, thanks!

Speaking of seasteading, here is a poor-man DIY version for us proles:

Great stuff! On the same topic, but a more humorous vein, people should watch the multipart TV series with Danny Wallace:

Still, Bitcoin in combination with seasteading sounds like an interesting talk. Looking forward to the video!

At TEDx Copenhagen, Lasse Birk Olesen talked about three technologies that will make him freer and more prosperous: 1. Seasteading, 2. BitCoin, 3. 3D Printing.
