How To Change The World With Bitcoin

“Time has 3 components. Past, present and future. The key property of the past is that it's immutable, it's fixed, you can't change it. The key property of the present is that it's open to all, it's a shared experience, it's ubiquitous. The key property of the future is that it's bound to happen, you can't stop it. It’s exactly the same with Bitcoin.”

There is much more to the idea of Bitcoin than you might think. Trustless computers (such as Ethereum) come with strong guarantees mimicking properties of time in our own universe. This power, in the hands of a rapidly growing community of entrepreneurs, has the potential to fulfil the vision of finally bringing finance to the digital age. Justin Drake shares one such vision with us.
