It was a really good primer on the basic info about the blockchain and Bitcoin. I would have liked more discussion about the issues with anti-money laundering regulations, but at least it was mentioned.

I thought the content was good, although I think it would have been interesting to delve more into the AML issues, such as potential approaches to solving that problem and/or strategies that people already may be pursuing.

speaker is bright and well-informed, but his style is unschooled, and grammatically weak. Otherwise, he conducted an interesting presentation.

This was a difficult subject to present. I found it very helpful as an introduction to the subject, but I still feel a little confused about how it works. I thought the speaker has an excellent grasp of this subject, and the example of his transferring bitcoin to a person in England was very informative to me. I didn’t know any of that. I would have liked to hear something about wallets. I heard they were safer than exchanges.
