Even though he's keeping it cypher-punk right now, I would take care when it comes to Trace Meyer.

No-one cares much now (apart perhaps from the "owners" of ATI Technologies, lol), but significant parts of what caused problems for the Armory wallet dev team could have been avoided had it not been for Trace Meyer and his business advice. I don't know how malicious the intent was, but Bitcoin was set back pretty significantly when Trace was acting in the real world, instead of speaking in the abstract. Do actions speak louder than words?

A very informative talk, putting a lot of topics into perspective. The advantages and disadvantages of Crypto currencies on Fiat and also how SegWit and sidechains will change the advantages most

Alt coins think they have over Bitcoin. I agree with Trace that we need specialists discussing the technical impact of Core and Classic implementations and the non-specialists to keep quite in the

peanut gallery. {That includes myself} We simply do not have the full picture, when we do not have all the information and the damage these implementations might have, if it is applied, with haste. 

Trace definitely has grasped the big picture.That's the reason why he already recommended to get some Bitcoin when it was worth just a quarter of a dollar.
Furthermore he understands the technology pretty well imo.And now we are in a time where when mistakes would be made this could end in a desaster when rolling back could be very difficult.Therefore doing things right and properly is definitely better than rushing it.

Great talk by Trace as usual.
It seemed to be a bit quiet about him the last few weeks.
Thanks for the link.
