201210 bitcoin barcamp presentation

Here are the slides for my Bitcoin talk #barcampyxe

Colin\nTechnology is cool\nideology is flawed\nquestions about scalability\nBanking could benefit from the algorithms\n\nZach\nReminds me of early days of internet (Hype + Skepticism = both were right + evolution)\nWill see volatile prices for a while\nExpect governments to intervene good? bad? - some governance okay\nNeeds its Mosaic/Netscape moment - current apps work but have terrible UX\nIf this happens... expect $100/BTC within 5 years\nDeflation is not a problem - don’t expect BTC to replace Fiat - ebooks didn’t replace paper\nGold is hoarded, therefor deflationary, you can exchange gold for USD, no problems right?\nExpect more rapid adoption in 3rd world accompanied by cell phone growth / lack of infrastructure.\nReduced friction in moving money around = more global collaboration / distributed ventures => GOOD\n\n
