A friendly conversation. At one point he was asked to explain it as if to a ten-year-old. I am not going to tell you what to make of it. I am only going to put his own words in front of you, and then point you to the full interview so you can check every one of them yourself.\r\nLet us see what was said, because this is important.\r\nInterviewer: Explain it to the ten-year-old. What is Bitcoin?\r\nHis answer, in his own words:\r\n\"It's a distributed philosophy... what we have had... is sort of digital scarcity. If I have an item, how do I make sure that if I sell it to you that I no longer have the item?\"\r\nInterviewer: Can you pull people back to the simple game and the rules? Is it possible, long term?\r\nHis answer:\r\n\"Yes... it's not, in a year's time it'll be there. It will be a long, long journey... the entire concept of what I've been talking about here... is going to take people like a decade to actually have through their mind. I'm 56 this year... I'm going to watch this occur... over the next 10 or 20 years.\"\r\nInterviewer: Why does it go to games?\r\nHis answer, on what he is building and releasing now:\r\n\"...decentralised games, decentralised items... a card table and a Monopoly ripoff that I called Estates... so that you can play, for instance, a pure peer game of poker... maybe a hundredth of a US cent per hand.\"\r\nThat is the interview. Those are his words, not mine.\r\nNow you can do what I did, and simply read the list of what he was excited about across the whole conversation. Digital scarcity. Provable ownership of files. Health records you control. A minted passport that closes access when revoked. Royalties on resold textbooks. Decentralised poker. A Monopoly game called Estates. Files that need a colonel and three generals to sign off before they can move.\r\nRead that list again. There is no mention of a person buying bread from a stranger. No mention of paying a bill. No mention of a shop accepting the coin.\r\nAsked the simplest question there is, what is Bitcoin, the answer was about making sure a file cannot be copied. And asked when any of it arrives, the answer was ten to twenty years.\r\nI have added nothing and I have twisted nothing. You might think I have shaped this to suit myself. So do not take my word for any of it. The link is below. Watch the whole thing, start to finish, and judge for yourself whether I have represented it fairly.\r\nAnd as you watch, ask yourself the only question I have ever asked. Count how many times, in the whole hour, he describes one ordinary person paying another for something real.\r\nThen you will not need me to say anything at all.\r\nBuild thinkers, not followers.\r\nLet us ponder this full well.\r\nhttps : / / www . youtube . com / watch ? v = QPjcEt5dhrU",
