I love how informative these are. Hedges is a modern day prophet and I don’t think people truly appreciate this man’s initiative. ✊🏼

We need Yanis Veroufakis to explain Technofeudalism.

Chris this is probably one of the most important interviews you have ever done. It is our only hope to free ourselves from a system that has continuously betrayed us.

I don't understand why praising bitcoin so much. It does not redistribute wealth, it works in a similar way to the gold standard (which was a terribly inequitable system) and by design it promotes the idea of money as a scarce resource. Honestly I think it is the worst (and most libertarian) of all cryptocurrencies.

“We are sleepwalking into dystopia”. That is so true. She is absolutely right.

The opening of this video is an excellent rundown of why crypto is a scam.

To counter this Bitcoin commercial, I suggest reading the article "Cryptocurrency Might be a Path to Authoritarianism". Look into what's been happening in El Salvador under the "world's coolest dictator" and his adoption of bitcoin.

How is bitcoin acquired in the first place.. and if having it can be used to make money, doesn’t that defeat the purpose of having it in the first place? The fact that it’s one of the least used currencies speaks to the lack of usefulness and the futility of investing in something that only exists in the online world and could disappear with the flip of a switch.

how come Chris Hedges and Yanis Varoufakis haven't hooked up yet for a conversation? not only to discuss his recent book about technofeudalism but all kinds of other stuff too. they are probably the 2 most important and prominent figures of the left in the Western world.

Bitcoin is a scam. I'm hoping this video addresses that, but 11 minutes in and it's a bad start. Edit. She makes some good points eventually but a lot of bad ones along the way.

i can't believe i just listened to her say nothing, albeit, in a profound tone for an hour. bitcoin is just a continuation and manifestation of the same problems we have now except it's digital.

Now is the perfect time to start buying stocks and crypto( BTC, ETH,) if you are just being introduced.. I really wish I started earlier. I’m learning this doesn’t have to be as complicated as some people make it out to be. Thanks to Kerrie Farrell for helping me get into her trading server and investing guidelines. Investing and trading are more than just having TA skills. There is a big component of discipline and emotional maturity, that one has to work on! Time in the market vs. timing the market. If you keep that mentality as an investor, you will stay calm during the storm! Within some weeks I was making a lot more money and have continued on that same path with...

bitcoin in current use just helps the rich be unaccountable. Without major changes

This woman knows nothing about bitcoin. Bitcoin is nothing more than a ledger that has a terrible transaction rate. Terrible. You cannot use bitcoin to replace currency. Bitcoin is more like gold, except at least gold has industrial usage and intrinsic beauty.

There is no line between government and corporations in regard to data collection and many things.

You are BRAVE. When will all of us become like you? Thank you for the truth! ✊👍🙏

Internet 2.0 Technosocialism empowering the people , no corporations no oligarchs just collective people power (Also, beautiful name Loretta) Love to you all

Stripping the state of power sounds like a noble pursuit.

One of the best descriptions of bitcoin and cryptocurrency I have heard. Satoshi, bitcoin’s founder, cannot be arrested because his identity is unknown. This is why bitcoin cannot be stopped 😂😂 This is an amazing turn of events, it’s hard for the average person to understand its significance

Did you know just with our current technology we can make higher learning, knowledge and sources free for anyone with Internet access? We do, so why don't we? We has the price of college and universities sky rocketed higher?

Why does Hedges have a bitcoin promoter on the show? Won't the people w/ the most bitcoin just become the new robber barrons/oligarchy?

So you create currencies and markets that do not exist in nature and proceed to chase after them as if they are separate from you. You haven't suffered enough yet, but you will.

"The low Earth orbit still has a little bit of gravity; so you're not completely out of gravity." I don't think so! In any orbiting object, the gravitational force is balanced by the centripetal force unless acted upon by an external force applied to the spacecraft (e.g. thruster, impact by an external object, breaching the atmosphere); otherwise it contravenes Newton's second law. It makes me wonder how much of Napoleoni's narrative is also BS? I do appreciate all the great work Chris Hedges does presenting his Real News videos that inform and educate, but there appears to be some holes in this one.

Fine. But only the rich can buy it now. Also if its traded it can be manipulated?

Great introduction, Mr Hedges😊

I LOVED this. Fascinating. Must stop those exploitating in ALL forms

Thank you 🙏🏼

Great report!

We have to create balance & shut off the tech which is creating more isolation & weaponizing everything⚖️ Go back to living🌱🐝🦉🐬

Cruella Deville has made my brain hurt. Thanks Chris.

Great important interview Chris and book Loretta

I don't know much about bitcoin but I wanted to comment about her statements regarding lithium batteries in Tesla. The batteries are designed well enough to withstand cold temperatures but the car range is reduced. It's really not a big deal as the performance ramps back up once it's warm.

THIS IS THE BEST SHIT EVER!!! The elite are going to shut down this channel just like what happened to the previous channel -- On Contact 😢😢

Very insightful and wise! People of the world, rise! ✊✊✊

It’s so great to see Bitcoin on Chris’s show!!!

She is awesome. I would love to be her student 🎉

Very intriguing and informative guest Chris Thank you

Thank you for this, Chris. I'm been an admirer of yours for years. You do a lot of very good work. For everybody, I think the only way you can really fight back is to ditch the ball-and-chain. Go back to a flip phone if you have to have mobile communications at all for any reason. The more people give it up, which I know is very hard right now, the easier it will be for others. Two-step authentication? Find someone else to do business with. Yes, it's hard. The people who are most concerned about this, such as Diana Kordas, who has been documenting the impact of 4G and 5G on farming and the environment on the Greek island of Samos, are now boycotting mobile communications altogether, i.e., not even calling cellphone numbers. It's a growing crisis.

Thank you Chris! I had an experience with some of these guys about 12 years ago. They are heartless. I could feel what she is making explicit. Quite useful to language experience. Great work. I appreciate your contribution.

Empower the people by making it so unaffordable, realky?

Very important interview. Thank you Chris and Loretta. The challenges facing humanity are immense.

Bitcoin is continuing the same problem. It is not a solution. We are capable of creating more than enough stuff, and food, for every woman and man on this planet. There is much work to reach that goal. Once there, less than 10% of the population would be needed to maintain everything. It is happening as I typed this. It has been happening for quite some time.

Will price of bitcoin go up or down in price come May? When it’s cut in half to control inflation

Looking forawd to Chris' move to total independence 👏👍

Very Very good interview and subject

Virtual currencies are just that. I prefere tulips. At least, they're tangible.

There’s a book that goes into Uber and it’s hustle called “Uberland” by Christina Rosenblatt which is a good read and a good follow to this video

These bitcoin bulls always make me laugh. Putting the cart before the horse. Bitcoin is no threat to the state. The state is the threat to everything & everyone.

Who ever control the production of electricity, will ultimatley control EVERY cryptocurrency. Period!

Most optimistic channel on KZfaq.

Excellent presentation Chris, but all these techno gurus and the defense department care.about is the maximization of profits.

On these techno topics I recall when Hedges was on RT and had guests like Natasha Dow Schull (from MIT at the time ) on how technolgy is designed to manipulate. Also a woman, Helen Byniski who told some truth about wikipedia and how that is skewed-- not on chemistry or some such, but on topics and important figures of the day.

We gave up our freedom for the all powerful & all seeing God in the cloud that knows all that we say & all that it programs us to do!

That was great, thank you both ❤

I appreciate this. Yanis Varoufakis' recent book ties into to this.

We need a way to opt out of the digital prison.

15 minutes in and I'm still listening to this lady hyping Bitcoin like it's 2017

Every time I decide to pause on buying books....I watch Chris. Just bought Technocapitalism from Bookshop, not Amazon.

Very important interview. Fantastic guest.

This is a great show! you must have her on again David

Lots of people are not able to survive NOW.

Chris Hedges is one of my heroes. Now that his show has been cancelled, I am unsubscribing from the channel.

"We're sleepwalking into dystopia", that sums it up quite well.

Super excellent episode 👏 I'm glad there are people informing the politically left-leaning about the many benefits blockchain technology

Wow. Scary stuff that we see happening

As a bear of very little brain, I found no answer in Loretta's explanation of bitcoin to this question: I invest say $100 in a cryptocurrency, expecting to be able to use it as I do 'real' $. I go into a pizza parlor, order, then want to pay in cryptocurrency. How? What's the equivalent of a credit/debit card or real cash, and how is it turned over to the vendor? Now, if I change my mind about the investment, how do I get my $100 back in cold hard cash - or even transfer to my regular bank account? Also I don't see it as inflation proof. A seller just has to raise their price, have me fork over more bitcoin, at the seller's choice of price. Maybe all this has simple answers, but I couldn't find them.

Not Natoshi Sakamato. It was Satoshi Nakamoto.

Excellent. Making people think.

Gold and Silver Baby 🤠 👋

Thanks!

The USD has the implied support of the US (meaning the US economy as an ongoing enterprise). It is also the principal settlement currency for oil contracts. Most USD circulates outside of the US (petrodollars). It’s just disingenuous to equate this with arbitrary “trust” in cyber or other currencies.

thanks

Where is the warning sign, that we partly se here a commercial for BC?

what happens when no more bitcoin can be mined? Does it's value drop at that moment or even before? quantum computers, which should be passing traditional computation in another few years, will be able to solve the bitcoin equations within moments. So this 150 year timeline that was highlighted does not see plausible.

Bitcoin is the paving the way for central or commercial bank digital currencies and the social impact investment model for the circular economy that’s also the sustainable future goals strategy

BTC is a gift to the world. Data harvesting, coupled with neurology, is how governments manufacture consent.

Thanks

Sweety, I think you are trying to say Bitcoin is a public ledger.

A lot of Tucker Carlson on Joe Rogan was about this nightmare. Our leaders are old and out of touch and have no business running things this deep into the techno future.

Chris Hedges should go through the "German School of National Economics" f.ex. Friedrich List, Prof. Dr. Richard Werner. (what was originally the old days "True American Economics" of f.ex. Hamilton, Lincoln. Kennedy tried and died), to not let him being fooled by the Masters of the Universe and their useful idiots.

Good thing she found an opportunity to say Satoshi Nakamoto a second time so she could say it properly. If anyone who doesn’t know what Bitcoin is listens to this woman explaining it and gets it, I’ll give them a cookie. I know what it is and how it works and her explanation made my head hurt.

Whitney Webb…also is knowledgeable about this topic. 👍

Smash LIKE!

Technology addiction is not freedom

This is not quite as bad as the internet is a series of tubes..... but it is close.

If you had traded 10 US trash tokens for bitcoin every day for the past ten years. how much value measured in US trash token’s would that Bitcoin be worth today? This is why it is good for regular people.

Oh, PLEASE!!!!!! NO STOP !!!!!!!!! No crypto No Crypto!!!!!!

Killing me softly....

It blows my mind that the American people haven't begun to revolt. It not only blows my mind that ot hasn't happened but that it didn't happen in the last 2 decades.

Was there a Tartaria?

Did she said that Bitcoin was invented by Natoshi Nakmodo?

BUT THEY ARE NOT TECHNOLOGICALLY GIFTED EITHER. THAT"S THE BIG JOKE

I wonder if she will estimate the amount of energy, BC will consume if in ten years a big chunk of the population will use it. As I heard, with every transaction, the blockchain gets longer, and the next transaction consumes more energy than the previous. Will it blow up the power grid in most parts of the world. Here in Germany we will prosumedly be allowed to make transactions only the hours, when the sun shines hot, or the wind blows ideally.

I have watched a lot of videos about Bitcoin and still don't get it. Can I go into my local store and buy something with Bitcoin? - NO. How can you have a currency based on the solving of mathematical formulas? It all sounds a bit crazy to me.

This is embarrassingly obvious in the grift. This woman is a charlatan.

Well, she did get one thing right! Bitcoin is the worst thing to use for money laundering as there is a public record of it!

Whitney Webb should come on and explain cryptocurrency… her take is so much deeper

Is Iraqi Denar RV a scam? has it already happened?
