 Don't give up your monies, pick one whenever you've had it. Hola y bienvenidos amigos! You are watching episode 45 of the Daily Decrypt, Independent Members of LTV Network. I'm your host Amanda, and today's conference coverage is brought to you by New Bits. Day 1 started off right, in that there actually were press passes with our names on them at the table. We hadn't been just dreaming. Between 200 and 300 attendees, and while the speaker schedule was jam-packed, we found ourselves hanging out in the coffee lounge quite a lot, to ask everyone who would talk to us one question. What is your favorite thing about cryptocurrency? It allows people to be free, basically. That's my favorite thing. What is your single favorite thing about cryptocurrency? My single favorite thing, community. Cryptocurrency allows us to shift power in a way that we've never seen before, and that's what gets me excited about it. It's the fact that you actually control your own money, in a way that you could never do before, because you hold the keys. In that, that's an amazing revolution in itself. The fact that I don't have to ask anybody for permission to use it. Energy and the vibe and what we are building is exactly what I like about cryptocurrencies. The math. What is your favorite thing about cryptocurrency? Personally, I like Dash a lot. I started mining a little bit, and as it was the beginning, it was a little easier. It's the era of the intermediaries, in a way. The forces of decentralization now have more power than the forces of centralization. That is anti-fragile. The beauty of the protocol, having something decentralized, accessible to anybody, quickly, effective, so that's really the protocol, the technology behind that. It's exciting me. The power to strip away the power of the war machine. Going to disrupt the world of central banking, and it's going to mean that institutions which have been established for a long time are going to get slowly dismantled and replaced with something much better and much more, well, democratic, shall we say. It puts the power in the hands of the people. For people to be able to keep control of their own money. What is your single favorite thing about cryptocurrency? Freedom. The freedom and the openness that anybody can go in and out anytime, no questions asked. It works 24-7, any place on earth.

There seem to be even more attendees on the second day, whom we pounced upon almost immediately. My favorite thing about cryptocurrency is that you don't need to ask permission to anybody. You can just do it, get on with your life. I like the monetary sovereignty aspect. People are able to hold the private keys to their own wealth, keys that are given under cryptographic law and not under legal code. Well, I support the separation of state and money, including the separation of government and everything. And because Bitcoin is free market money, that's the number one reason I support it. I say it's disruptive nature. My favorite thing is that I can control it myself and nobody is interfering with my money and what I do with it. The ability to transfer things between different people without having to ask permission and without having to have an intermediary. The freedom it gives to the people, you know, to interact with each other. My favorite thing about cryptocurrency is that I own it and I possess it. And I can send it to anyone in the world without anyone being able to stop me. I would have to say that it's permissionless. That's the most unique thing about it anyway. The community surrounding it, because it's very passionate and it's full of people that want to continue to innovate and make things the world a better place. Today's episode is brought to you by Nubits. We met a daily decrypt viewer named Alex this weekend at the conference and he told us how thankful he was that we had introduced him to Nubits because now he uses them to hedge in and out of the volatility of other cryptocurrencies and doesn't have to go through the pain in the ass processes of selling out for fiat. So you're welcome Alex and thank you Nubits. Learn more at Nubits.com and crypto on dudes. He's the one you pay.
