Bump. I'm a huge listener so this thread is going to need a huge content update from the stuff I watched. But should I even bother updating this? Are people even interested? I assume demand is low due to people not interested with watching 1hr+ videos.

Yeah, I think you should. Some of the debates listed here are now prohibited for a public access.

[2] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mFcTJAQ7zc4 | Bitcoin vs. Gold: The Future of Money: Schiff vs. Molyneux

Your thread always serves as my "go to" link whenever I found myself having lots of free time at my disposal or whenever I finished all my academic works during the day. Watching debate is always a good alternative aside from listening to podcasts.

In order to watch even one of those videos you really have to be interested in cryptocurrencies or watch it when you don't have anything else to do but that would count since you wouldn't be genuinely interested on the informations shared in the videos. That's because most of us don't have the patience to watch a 15 min video about something that's boring what about 1 hour.

You honestly shared an unpopular opinion but truth, I couldn't get past 10 minute of average while watching some of the compilation up there. They are great information btw.

Thank you for sharing, but I don't think it's surprising that people don't like the video. First, many of them are rather long, and people are used to short videos on Youtube.

Thanks for repeating what a couple of people already said in this topic.

Some participants in this debate are not famous at all, others are famous for things that are a little related to cryptos

The point of watching these videos aren't to particularly hear the opinions of "famous" people though, rather, to hear the legitimate criticisms of bitcoin and cryptocurrencies(though unfortunately there's barely any good criticisms).

Second, this is an 'expert' discussion that might be wrong even more often than true. Maybe that is the opinion of certain people who are not attractive to most people.

I think it is a very nice idea, because people have to weed between thousands of crap videos on YouTube to find the gems and if you can sort the good from the bad , then it could make their research into Bitcoin much easier and also more reliable and effective.

Someone with only a little knowledge about Bitcoin might fall into a trap with some ICO scam or Ponzi scheme, whilst they are looking for genuine Bitcoin resources.

Well Done, very good idea. Grin

Yea, I really don't like both of those guys on the BTC side. This debate specifically is probably the least I like among the list.

Indeed. There's a lot of better bitcoin/cryptocurrency advocates to choose from rather than Patrick Byrne and Tim Draper. Not saying they're idiots, they're just not the most knowledgeable in the space. I'd pick Antonopoulos and Voorhees as better advocates for these kinds of debates.

Quote from: ?? on ??

One of the best in my opinion, along with the Voorhees debate. Unfortunately with Schiff, sure he is indeed very knowledgeable in the topic of economics, but you can obviously see the technological gap between 2 people there.

I truly understand that long videos aren't for everyone. I personally don't like long videos either(besides movies), but my interest with bitcoin over weighs my dislike for long videos. I made this list and my site(coinsources.io) specifically for the same kind of people, bitcoin and cryptocurrency enthusiasts.

Though thanks for your feedback.

How nice and interesting that you've created list of debates. It's somehow a big help to increase knowledge about bitcoin and cryptocurrency to people who wants to learn more about it, including me. Though I think why people don't give much interest on this kind of video is that it's quite long and for someone who'll watch longer videos, they might find it boring too. If I were to watch videos about bitcoin, I'll choose the one who gives information yet is also fun to watch. But if you want better and deeper understanding, debates can help in giving deeper knowledge about crypto since people who'll argue must have deeper understanding about it.

Byrne and Draper are not the best spokesmen for the motion. There are much better arguments out there.

Definitely. Especially Draper. His arguments were so bad. I mean, imagine if the bitcoin side was someone like Andreas Antonopoulos and Peter Van Valkenburgh? The opposing side would be massacred. So in this case, I'd say it was somewhat unfair in terms of knowledge levels(not to offend Byrne and Draper, smart people, but they're simply not good debaters). Well, Draper was aware that he isn't a good debater at least.

That's a great site! I do have a youtube account on which I watch crypto influencers and debates, but I've always run out of content often, and youtube's recommended is far from perfect. I'll take a look at your videos linked, I think the last 2 sound very interesting.

Check out the documentaries too. You might find them interesting.

Quote from: timerland on March 12, 2019, 09:49:04 PM

Regarding your site, I'd recommend opening a thread in service announcements, I think your missing out of a lot of potential traffic here. Good luck!

I posted it months ago in that section. It got some traction for the first few days, and it simply pretty much died down immediately after a week. Tongue

Awesome, finally there's a site with a consolidated list of sources and information related to crypto. Many have been searching for places where they can know more about crypto so they've flocked to this forum. This should have more exposure. This would be perfect for those who are interested in crypto but don't know where to start.

Thanks! My site has been around for half a year already I think. I've been getting a lot of great feedback but unfortunately it simply just doesn't rank well on Google's search engine.

Quote from: orions.belt19 on February 21, 2019, 01:34:14 AM

I like your website overall, but why not add brief overviews for each category so that your audience will have some sort of background on them before proceeding to the sources? Like a definition of BTC under the section of Bitcoin (BTC), and so on.

Erm. I'll think about this, as I've already listed sort of articles on bitcoin basics. That probably should be enough. Thanks for the feedback though!

I personally run a resources list website(coinsources.io) and I've listed a decent number of videos on debates about bitcoin or cryptocurrencies in general. I've had a few number of visits here and there on my website, and I've noticed that no one EVER clicked on a debate video link, not even once. It's really surprising how people seems to be uninterested in them.

If you're really into bitcoin and have some time to spare, I heavily suggest watching them:

Year	Duration	Link	Title
2018	[13:22]	https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PKeAZi4YKb0	Bitcoin or Shitcoin?: Saifedean Ammous vs. Martin Weyer

2018	[1:18:50]	https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MsL_8AazpsA	Bitcoin vs Gold: Ivan on Tech vs. Peter Schiff
2018	[53:08]	https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S-qKttgihHY	Bitcoin, revolution or another tulip mania?: Smith and Schiff vs. Blanchard and Tucker
2017	[25:45]	https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cuvpd0EwtHw	Hatipoglu and Van Valkenberg vs. Schiff and Siciliano
2014	[38:15]	https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q3MAH3Rlr2s	Peter Schiff vs. Erik Voorhees
2013	[52:30]	https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mFcTJAQ7zc4	Bitcoin vs. Gold: The Future of Money: Schiff vs. Molyneux

This kind of information about cryptocurrencies will help us to know more what it is. I already watch some debate videos about cryptocurrencies and it is totally amazing. I think I will finish all debate videos about cryptocurrencies and I hope there will be more debate about cryptocurrencies.

Well, I would assume that a lot of people are on this forum because they're interested in cryptocurrency.
I don't have any problem watching an hour long video with an interesting debate.

If you don't have an attention span that long, how can you get anything done?

Exactly my point. I really don't get the sort of snobbery. I'd definitely take that opinion if only I was sharing the list on an unrelated forum/community.

Quote from: maxreish on February 19, 2019, 07:28:18 PM

Thanks for making it easier for us to watch some gripping videos like those. Honestly, I never thought that there are some debates videos in youtube. This fascinates me somehow because it may help me to have a broader mind and may add some useful understanding about cryptocurrency.

A great list to watch! thankyou man.

Well, we're in a bitcoin/cryptocurrency forum right?

Yes. And I'm posted this for the small demographic that are actually really interested in bitcoin/cryptocurrencies. not for those who are here only for the bounties.
