I don't see how blockchain solves ANY problem. And Bruce's suggestion that we allow trusted/centralized authorities to be involved in order to make the system work, basically demonstrates that it's not blockchain that works, but trusted authorities.
One more great talk from Bruce Schneider. Like how he busts the blockchain hype in a blockchain conference. Crowd seems to be very skeptic, but still he is right :-).
My first comment relates to this mans comment (2:30) about how unique humans are at creating a trusting environment, and how that trust is unique to our species. Anyone who has observed the Animal Kingdom knows that the trust this man is talking about IS shared by that entire kingdom; our entire kingdom as we too are animals like it or not. If fact many many species not only trust each other's presence around them, they ALSO trust that food will be shared, along with almost every other need they may have. Humans on the other hand will sit there and watch each other starve to death, nd we create class systems which weakens our trust of each other even more. My next comment refers to (4:00), fact is we create "security" because we do NOT trust each other, it also refers to ownership which ALSO depletes trust because we ALL own this Earth yet our human constructs of ownership destroys that truth. Next comment which is more of a statement refers to (8:00), so I guess wealthy people are parasites since they do not pay their fair share of taxes. Trusting cryptocurrencies that are not regulated is no different that trusting all of the fake banks and money lenders of the very early 1900's, it back then was run by gangsters and today it is no different. I hate to say it but #Bruce Schneier is choosing to view a lot of this in a very blind way, because show me decent honest people who run this technological world, fact is you can not. A new form of fascism is coming in the form of this new technological world and this guy is not speaking about that so far, at 13:05 he talks of some imaginary immoral society from way back when but look around people, you are everything and above the law if you are wealthy in our world, and if you are not you are then just usable substance, a pawn for those who hold the power. I see so much evil in this world, from rich people not paying their fair share of taxes to bible thumpers who actually work for and support the hand of evil while posing as "Jesus" followers. We got politicians who NEVER do what they say they will, more than half the world living in total poverty while fat rich bitches feast on the blood of the working class, we heal the wealthy while we leave the poor to suffer and lose their health, I can go on and on so fuck off with the "imaginary" world because we are living in one that IS immoral. At 15:00 he speaks of being praised for "good" behaviour versus being punished for "bad" behaviour, I disagree because life is not so simple, we praise people because of where they are from first and for most, then we focus on what they do and if that agrees with "agendas". For example if you speak out against capitalism in the U.S. or other western countries rich people everywhere will not support you no matter how good you are or how good your intentions are, and in many cases they will even target you if they can. FACT You are good as long as you are obedient. At 15:20 he speaks of reputation, I think everyone hear probably knows just how much technology can instantly ruin your reputation on very unjust grounds like lies and mis-information, again his attitude is very one sided. At 16:54 he is doing what" Suggesting we create a paranoid society so people will be "honest"? REAL honesty is not found in manipulation. This point demonstrates just how lost he is in his own technological world, most programmers create stuff thinking they are intelligent but in truth they are all slowly imprisoning us all into a techno hell run by the global elite who by the way don't give 2 shits about you. At 20:30 he tells us that we must look at everything that is beyond the door lock in order to get everything to work, how about looking beyond theft? Many people steal to SURVIVE, if money was not in place along with such an unfair system these people would not NEED to steal. Creating a lock is not a logical solution for our world, because just like war the locks will just keep getting bigger WITHOUT dealing with the real problems that create the need for such things. But we are talking about Silicon Valley and San Fran, the city that uses robots to get rid of homeless people; how loving and by the way where is the trust in humanity there!!!?? At 22:40 he speaks of credit card fraud, well credit card companies NEED fraud because they use it to reduce their taxes, just as the fashion industry does, they use peoples desperation to make more money. Pathetic!! At 23:50 he talks about how we can trust Facebook, have you people been reading up on the court case in the U.K. against Facebook? It is ANYTHING but trustworthy. At 24:13 he begins to talk about trusted contracts between 2 points, think Visa and your bank because it is the same thing and that is where this is all going to end up because the world governments WILL take control of digital cash, any one who says they won't does not remember or is simply ignorant to this world's financial world's past. Massive regulation is coming, governments in control of cyrpto currencies is and ALWAYS has been the hidden agenda, the only reason why things like Bitcoin are available is because they are letting the private sector do all the risk taking while the birthing of this new reality comes into being, once it has reached a certain level they will take it all over. There is so much happening within a very old hidden agenda created by the global elite and anyone who thinks otherwise is just lost in ignorance and mis-information, crypto currencies are a real part of that. "Money is a collective hallucination".. INDEED IT IS!! better ask yourself how much that illusion AND YOUR OWN acceptance of it serves you. HIs subject at 35:30 is lacking a comparison to the gangsterism is unregulated money through out time. We live in a world that worships intelligence yet it lacks the ability to apply real intelligence to their new found technological intelligence, these programmers see solutions but refuse to look at why those solutions are needed. It's like the idiots who create nuclear power and weaponry, they think they are so smart but really they are creating more problems that will become more evident bas time goes on. Just because we can does NOT mean we should, that is very old wisdom and it still rings true today more than ever.
He says ". In many ways, trusting technology is harder than trusting people. Would you rather trust a human legal system or the details of some computer code you don’t have the expertise to audit?"
that's funny. Because my bank just got hacked and millions of private data including passwords stolen. Some people lost thousands. Of course there is insurance to cover that.
This was some weak logic if I ever heard any, come on Harvard, you can do better. To break this guy's argument down, a trustless transfer of value (say in the form of a cryotocurrency) is not about not trusting people, it's about minimizing the monetary harm any single entity can inflict. Decentralization is a good thing, just as democracy is.
I don't understand why such smart, even wise, people continue to believe the lie of 'Human Nature' — and absolutely refuse to understand the scientific reality of Human society explained by Karl Marx, et al.

But should men in their late 50s who have ponytails be trusted?

As for it being totally useless, well tell that to the wealthy Chinese who have been using bitcoin for year to get money out of the country. lol

this harvard guy is smart obviously…but this dude is just as smart and he says blockchain and crypto has some use https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MozDSajpLTY&t=2653s (unfortunately he died recently..RIP
hilarious when people say Bruce fucking Schneier knows nothing about cryptogtaphy because he insulted their “crypto” shitcoins
"Basically useless".. kinda like your average academic.
so is this guy against the use of iphones? or even computers? cant trust those too, according to his logic
This was some weak logic if I ever heard any, come on Harvard, you can do better.

THE ONLY FIX FOR SECURITY PROBLEM IS EDUCATION.
Good talk, but human to machine necessity – not for long. Intuitive Ai.
Maybe the best speech ever … and the follow up answers were great.
Trust only works if there are sanctions!
No sanctions… no trust!
philosophy and cybersecurity at a perfect crossroad. fantastic talk
