3 Oslo laisvės forumo pamokos: Bitcoin kaip įrankis – Mallers, Roem, Fang

The Oslo Freedom Forum delivered some of the most thought-provoking ideas about what makes bitcoin special and valuable beyond mere price. And luckily, the organizers cut these one-minute videos for us to consume said ideas. And even luckier still, Bitcoinist decided to echo them and paint a different picture of the asset our publication is named after.

Mes jau pristatėme žmones iš viso pasaulio – vienas, du, trys – and this new trio is not different. Each one will make a surprising point about the bitcoin network that will seem obvious from now on. The Oslo Freedom Forum made bitcoin thought-leaders see the situation from a different perspective. Let’s read what they came up with.

Oslo Freedom Forum: Jack Mallers On Bitcoin As Rails

Strike’s CEO and bitcoin wonderboy, Jack Mallers paaiškino anksčiau the possibilities that an open network like bitcoin brings. This time, though, he adapts to the Oslo Freedom Forum audience and elaborates and goes into the censorship-resistant qualities it has. 

“We think of it as the global payment standard for the world. Think of it this way. There’s an open, accessible set of instructions that if you integrate these instructions, you are interconnected with the entire planet. To settle value at the speed of light and at no cost. And no one can tell you otherwise. And no one can deplatform you. And if you want to use it, you have every right. If you don’t, you don’t have to. But if you need to, you can. And that is the tremendous property that Bitcoin enables.”

Oslo laisvės forumas: Janine Roem apie pasipriešinimą cenzūrai

Janine Roem – Cypherpunk, journalist, and privacy educator – elaborates on the censorship-resistant idea. She also explains the concept that bitcoin is “money for enemies” to the Oslo Freedom Forum. 

„Kalbėdamas apie cenzūrą, kai vertinu bet kokią skaitmeninę valiutą ar bet kokius pinigus, net jei jie nėra skaitmeniniai, žiūriu, ar jie išlaiko vadinamąjį cenzūros testą, ty jei turite organizaciją, kuri, pavyzdžiui, yra nukreipta. , nacionalinė valstybė arba šiuo atveju konkrečiai nacionalinių valstybių grupė, nes jos naudojasi savo kalbėjimo teisėmis taip, kad nesutinka su valstybėmis, kurioms nesutinka, tada tos valstybės gali bandyti jas sustabdyti užvaldydamos jų pinigus, blokuoti jiems gauti pinigų arba blokuoti asmenis, kad jie negalėtų jiems siųsti pinigų, taigi bet kokia pinigų sistema, kur tai įmanoma, nepaisant jūsų nuomonės apie konkrečią organizaciją.

Jau žinote, kad yra tik vienas turtas, kuris atitinka šiuos standartus. Tik vienas turtas pasaulio istorijoje. 

“I feel that it is important to have a monetary system where it passes that test and that’s why and is the central reason I got interested in Bitcoin because it passes that test since 2011. It’s been passing that test even at a time when it was relatively small so I would expect any kind of CBDC to pass that test and if it doesn’t I say I am not interested.”

Oslo Freedom Forum: Hong Fang On Bitcoin As A Free Monetary System

Hong Fang, CEO of the OKcoin exchange, reminisces and tells the Oslo Freedom Forum about the moment she decided to join the bitcoin space. This new asset class’ unprecedented characteristics change the rules of the game. And, considering the game was rigged to begin with, this can only be positive for the industry. 

“But what I learned when I was at Goldman, particularly during the financial crisis, there’s an element of imbalance, an element of unfairness in the system, in the current system where we are talking about free markets. There was something that was not totally free, and I didn’t realize that until in 2016 when I came across Bitcoin, when I realized, okay, this is something that represents a free monetary system that has never been done before in the way that it was designed. Where the money is not created by any government, is not backed by any government or any central organization, but somehow can help people form consensus, thereby enable value transmission on a large scale between individuals. That in itself was unprecedented and can actually help us fix things. That’s how me personally got into Bitcoin. And I got into the space.”

Those are enough dangerous ideas for today. Join Bitcoinist soon for more philosophical action from the Oslo Freedom Forum’s streets.
