mind exploded - "blockchain is a glorified immutable linked list" probably the best explanation of block chain ive heard.

Siraj I just want to tell you that you made so much difference in my life. I started learning Python because of you. Got into Crypto, made a lot of money which I intend to invest in some AI project that would benefit the whole world. Thank you man!

Your teaching style of breaking down complex topics to an introductory level is absolutely phenomenal. Before watching this I had no idea what Ethereum or Smart contracts actually were/did. 99% of the population still have never heard of Web 3.0 and the mechanisms of smart contracts; I truly think awareness alone will change the game

Hey Siraj! I find your video interesting. I have been bullish on blockchain for the last 2 years but after much thinking and research, I feel like we are overestimating blockchain. True, it can have some applications in the real world and it's only the beginning, but I think that we don't understand well enough the consumer's needs. Plus, you're saying in your video that Web 2.0 is controlled by giants of the Internet (that's true) but they control a SPECIFIC MARKET (Amazon for the retail, Baidu & Facebook for the social networks, Google for the search engine). They can gather as much data as they want but I do think that there's still much space to innovate outside the markets they control without blockchain. You're speaking about the fact that data are taken away from us, but the consumer eventually likes to have suggestions on what to buy, what to use. Obviously there are moral and ethical problems but I don't think that consumers really want a decentralized system. We have known cryptography for a very long time, it's not new. We know how to encrypt and decrypt data. I think you're missing the big point here. Problem is not whether blockchain is good for the world. Problem is does it solve big and painful enough problems to bring about a major change in consumer habits.

I am speechless. This is something I couldn't find anywhere this simple. Thank you!

You're always my favourite teacher on both machine learning and DApp topics.

Awesome video! I'm looking forward to your following courses! Great and important work! Thank you Siraj!

Your lessons are 21st century real world wizardry with huge impact for good. Thank you very much for saving our world Siraj, you are our hero!

Hello Siraj, I've been following your videos for a while now and I love how you make things simple. Always end up motivated after watching your videos!

Man...mind is blown....! I appreciate the time you've taken to share this. I plan to watch this again and then I plan to start using the tech for a better understanding.

I watched many videos to understand these concepts. Finally you explained them in a clear and organized manner. Loved the video.

I thought I lost this video and I’ve been searching for over an hour for it. Best explanation ever I’m going to take extensive notes TYSM

Honesty the world has changed some but this has been kind of a life changing video. I watch it every year.

Bro you rock for real. Takes a smart dude to be able to break down something complicated and explain it to the layman in common language

First time here. Was surfing around looking for good descriptions of Web 3.0 and was finding nothing. This is the best I've seen and at about the 15:00 mark there is one of the best step by step tutorials on what a Blockchain is and what Smart Contracts are that I've seen in my nearly three years in the space. Thank-you!

Love your analogy of the music industry. So clear and succinct. Thank you!

Nice! you predicted and make a video about 3.0 way before than anyone!!

Siraj, thank you so much for what you are doing. It's incredibly noble of you and I highly respect the work you are putting out. I am a computer science student, and I want to make a difference in the world and I've always thought of computing as having the incredible power to do that. I believe the technology can come, what's even harder I believe, is shifting people's mindsets, and figuring out how we can really implement this as an idea through people, and through existing large corportations. The code is easier for me to understand than how the economy works, how people work, and the motivations they have for doing things, and how they respond to change and uncertainty. Perhaps as you had said, this is an issue AI can solve as well. You have inspired me with your enthusiasm and I'm sure others as well. Its hard to put thoughts into words very clearly, but wholeheartedly I think the actions of an individual as yourself have great value and impact on us as a humanity. Thank you for educating me today.

This series of videos is excellent and so very timely. You the man Siraj!

Best visual, fundamental and technical explainer I’ve seen so far. Thank you

Great video Siraj. You explained it really well. Would love to hear more about limitations what we cannot do if we use etherium for computation as it's still in progress I believe.

So much value packed in this video!

One of the best explanations I've came across! (With exception of mining and hashes)

great job, thank so much Siraj, wait to much to see the next episode of this problem

The world needed this!!! You gotta be patient and do things in a slower phase, if we want it fast we will speed up to 1.2×

You are the Thomas L Friedman of the new age! I think of these videos as constructive journalism that is really necessary rather than something exclusively for geeks. It would be great if you could get people who really matter (founders of blockchain startups/Deep Learning Startups) and talk to them about the kind of problems they face to scale up their solutions.

Wow! Love how you broke it down! You teach really well- thank you!

Extremely powerful and informative, thanks man.

u r just mindblowing, great respect for the work you do that too free of cost and your love for people helping them learn and grow.

Great video. I wished i found it 4 years ago

Totally satisfied explanation getting things as a beginner also , thank you very much for explaining block chain etc in such a simple way

Yesssssss! I love web 3.0 vids! Smart contracts and blockchain. Thanks Siraj!

This bro is awesome. Learned so much in short period of time. Even breaks it down well. great communication homie thanks

Gezzz Bro, you literally break it down like no one has ever done. Thank you!

This video aged so briliantly. You were so early into this bro! Well done!! :)

Its good that you talk about the censorship and free market. It's important for people to understand and realise the benefits of decentralisation. Great context and video.

Amazing job Siraj. Hope to see more of similar videos. Thanks!

finally a good video after a long time.. taking time and explaining everything thumbs up :D

Thanks Siraj. I’m a great fan. Thanks for sharing all this knowledge for free.

First video I’ve seen like this. Thanks!

Thank u for this awesome video ,I am waiting for whole series

Amazing as always! I wonder if this is from your ongoing Decentralized course!

This video cleared some of my old doubts about blockchain . Thanks :- )

The True Liberation of mankind is upon us!

Incredible video and fantastic explanation. As someone who has an insanely low attention span, you kept me glued. Subscribed :)

Can't wait for the next video!!!

Great explanation, thnkx

Enjoyed every moment of it, thx a lot

I miss your deep learning videos... I hope you quickly pass this crappy stage. Peace!

Thanks, Siraj. Best explanation.

The way of explanation is perfect. You rocked it bro...

Thank you Siraj! This is a great video!

Mate your a legend. Awesome video!

Nice video, dude. Genius as always

Excellent work man. I love the energy too,

Beautifully explained. 👏👏👏. Thank you

Learned a lot thanks!!

Thanks a lot, about all, particularly to blockchain explaining.

This video is an eye-opener

Yes i have subscribed you never asked for likes and you never asked for any one to subscribed you was more worried about showing us the information, showing that you really care keep up the good work like mr smith said in the matrix, I need more more more more more more more

wow great presentation Siraj !

You created this video before 3 years 😱 and others big and famous KZfaqrs started this topic from last 2022 😂it’s means your really awesome 👏 and much more fast than 99% peoples 😊

Very amazing video & explanation! Subscribed and liked 🤟🏾

Awesome explanation!! 😎

Keep up the excellent work and exercise your freedom of speech in the manner you wish. This is YOUR channel and you are creating massive value.

Thanks Buddy. That was great Info. Web 3.0 should be happening and should be supported.

published 2018.. you've been ahead of the game for a while.

amazing man...!!! thanks alot...!

Siraj, you explained fantastically wow

Nice explanation I learned so much

cool !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! in love with this stuff :)) thanx siraj !!

Siraj was way ahead of the mainstream hype on Web3. Wish I bought DOT 3yrs ago!

Web 3.0 will be good. Most people don't realize that the 1.3 billion dollar Omnibus bill passed this week contains the ( The Cloud Act ) which destroy peoples privacy even much further. So getting into Web 3.0 from a decentralized way would be a smart move.

Siraj you are absolutely great keep it up.

This is very very informative, arigato

wow! i needed to see this! Keep doing your thing! Lets get rid of planned obsolescence like Bucky Fuller envisioned.

Finally a video with no meme. Standard !!

i love this video, thanks bro

Good timing for this video. As Mark Baum aka Eisman would say.. BOOM!

thank you for web 3.0 video

Hello Siraj, Love your videos, you do an amazing job ! A few questions / comments for you : Do you agree that we still have some time to go in order to compete with the cloud data centers ? Solutions like kubernetes and federation they already allow to go cross data centers and create real decentralized services. That work even on promise and on "hybrid clouds" I really like the idea of fully decentralized systems, however for now they are unusable for the problems we are trying to solve. Few contexts in which I would like to have your input on how to dencentralize them for web 3.0: - Databases (ACID storage, decentralized querying) - Known computing languages (For now, only specialized computing languages can be used) - Performance of the global network (Datacenter speed and cross datacenter speed is unmatched [cpu,ram,disk,network] ) - Performance per node executing code (We will need more than a few mu(s) of cpu, more than a few MB of ram, more than a few MB of disk) - "Standard", for now there is none. Ethereum is living on his bubble, same for IPFS, etc... Just in order to this things to get integrated in a web browser without the requirement of extra plugins and so on. It will need to go through w3c and browsers need to agree to implement those api's IMO: CDN's & DNS's could be the first to be replaced if IPFS and any X distributed storage would be implemented. But this requires more than simple isolated actions and projects. It requires people working at the current IEEE and W3C to propose those changes. Keep up the good work

Woow!! What an amazing video

Hey Siraj, In the setNP function although we don't have to set the value variable to the integer specified even then you added the part "value = _n". Why is that?

Excellent video Siraj 👏

The listening thing for advertising has happened to me as well but I was not sure about it and now I am sure that they listen to everything for targeted ads. Thanks

Siraj for president!

as always great

Great informative video

Thank you very much!!!!

Your videos are great.

Great video 🔥

Dude. Thank you

I love your videos,you give things a new perspective and also i am a little concerned about an AI apocalypse.if AI and blockchain complete one another and destroying one block doesn't affect the system then how are we going to stop a malicious AI

i like the way you present the things to us :) 😍

Hey Siraj just wanted to say it's really heartening to hear you talk about these things. Too many people in tech just care to create cool things, & are blind or willfully ignorant of the societal & ethical implications of what they build. As a programmer & believer in the tenets of free (& distributed) software, it's encouraging to see another 'woke' (& really talented) programmer.

Great explanation , thank you for sharing this. One thing that is bothering me is that how do people will overcome of the service’s quality in future ? Am talking about decentralising services...

Very inspiring and mind blowing and scary.

This needs latest refresh Siraj

Hi Siraj. I have a question. I was using a service call stamp.io from Stampery. And I registered a file to the bitcoin blockchain, but I only have a hash address to verify that the file that I register corresponds to that hash. On the first part of this video you say that one advantage from web 3.0 compared to web 2.0 is that our data got stored on multiple servers (nodes), so I download the file from the blockchain for example to prove that the file I upload corresponds to the file I upload if blockchain only store a hash not the file really, blockchain is only a ledger book not a store of files.

Siraj, you rock man!! A small criticism: when you make gestures about graphics, keep in mind that your left is our right and vice versa. An other thing: I'm working on a Dapp that will let content creators, like yourself, monetize their work without using ads. Also it will incorporate a lot of DAO basic concepts. I would love you to join our community when it's ready. let me know if you are interested.
