Kosta Ouzas got Bitcoin as a gift when it was $400. It's now worth $68,000. He explores how Bitcoin's untakeable nature shifts power: no government can seize it, but you face new problems, like whether to tell anyone the keys exist before you die.

I could have a billion dollars in my brain. Now you want to take that money from me, you can kill me, but you don't get it. You've got to negotiate with me. Whereas in the past you could just kill me and kill me. I'll give you one word every eight hours. But do you get what I mean? I think that there's a massive difference in the future of just the way that you can have a tiny nation state with loads of bitcoin. You can invade them but you can't take their bitcoin. Right. This, this really, it changed, like philosophically. The implications of this I don't think have really been thought through by people. But also at the same time is you've got to tell someone because you don't want to. You know how life is now, right? You could fart and die and then you take those with you. But you take them with you. Yeah, okay.
