#26. El niño burbuja y la rata de alcantarilla [Andreas M. Antonopoulos]
Lectura en español #hispano de: "El niño burbuja y la rata de alcantarilla", por Andreas Antonopoulos. En esta charla de 2015, Andreas nos muestra, a través de una comparación directa, cómo los sistemas cerrados, con supuestos muros de aislamiento, son inherentemente débiles. Nos describe por qué lo son, nos muestra el radical contraste que presenta la red de Bitcoin y cómo las instituciones financieras, en particular los bancos, juegan con una desventaja que existe en su ADN como una organización, naturalmente inadaptadas a esta realidad.

In the February 2024 patron Q&A, Andreas answered questions related to DCA (dollar cost averaging) purchasing and avoiding dust (too small to move due to fees) transactions.
