Bitcoin/Blockchain, émancipation numérique ? | Alexandre Stachtchenko | TEDxUniversitéParisDauphine


[Applause]

actually good evening everyone

so here we are here to fight

prejudice

nothing really bad so already

first prejudices that I’m going to stop

who knows this guy from the east who comes to us

talk about the dark web

rest assured all is well we will speak

of chain and bitcoin blocks under a beautiful

aspect the first aspect his clothes

the title of my intervention is

bitcoin blocks shine emancipation

digital

so actually the question is

this one

the agglo chain a little everyone has

heard recently especially if

you are a famous financial raptors

as we saw in intro you have

necessarily seen passing blocks

chain somewhere so I have you

made a little small selection of

newspaper headlines that we can have these

last time on the blogo channel for

we understand a little euphoria

general in which we are the

economists and therefore not a newspaper that

tends to do in caricature

seriously spoken of as the machine

has confidence that will revolutionize the

world on the platform in France which in

speak as of the most invention

important since the internet

just that you have two books in

issued 1 but there are plenty of others

who speaks to you about this as a

revolution that will change the world

money the business so there really

we are on the verge of comparing that

with the invention of the lightsaber fire

it’s like you want but overall

everyone agrees everyone

agrees it’s a revolution

problem nobody knows why

it’s annoying we’re going we’re in the process of

to live we will live a revolution but

nobody knows why and we come

often in a situation that is the

next I showed in the small

comic that has become quite iconic

in the community

you have a boss who will see his

developer who tells him we have to

build a block chain to

developers there have already been the

situation on intelligence

artificial on the big data on

internet of things etc

so he knows that according to his boss did

understood nothing to what he said so he

will ask him an absurd question for

check if the reason so we will him

ask what color do you want

your blog shane which pretty much

as much sense as if I ask you

but you prefer facebook salted or

sweet

it has none do not look and so

the boss does not demobilize and he

said bad move because it has more than

ram has more memory

so we’re really on a stadium

quite dramatic and why we are

got there because actually the joke

chain has become the solution but

usually when we talk about a

solution we have a big problem at

departure and in fact we forgot the

problem for me today I you

spoke chain and bitcoin blocks certainly

but not right now

first we’ll talk about the problem

initial that is resolved by quickly known

and the dear hangs and so if we talk

today from the initial problem we are going

talk about money

I usually do not have too much trouble

mobilize the crowds on this subject there

it interests everyone

everyone has more money or

the less we win, we lose all

days more or less also if I

you go out for example a ticket of 10

euros

what is money?

does that mean what does it mean

I have a value of 10 euros in the

this value of 10 euros

it has a value 10 euros why

because the traders accept it

because we all agree on the

makes it worth ten euros so by

example today with 10 euros I

can obtain goods and services in

exchange for example at current course I

can have sixty bread

chocolate 10 15 cents coin but

obviously this money from an exit in

my pocket

is that it really belongs to me there

that’s the question I’m asking is what

the very money you have in

bank accounts today there you

really belongs

obviously if you ask the question

it’s a bit oriented we will see that my

not necessarily and for that we will do

a little trip we will go to Cyprus

a beautiful island of cyprus island

heavenly a little over a million

inhabitants per capita between 25

and 30 thousand dollars a year so it’s okay

honorable numbers

it’s not the top of the basket but it’s

not dramatic and beats Cyprus has

a problem

hyper original really are the only ones

to have it is the public debt

no one else if this problem is

obviously the public debt of cyprus

and beats in 2.95 at 2006 2008

we are generally around 50% good

is not dramatic especially considering the

time running and then there is a

crisis for those who were in a

cave in 2008 there was a crisis enough

important that does in that has made that

to the Cypriot economy ended up

much more indebted than she

was it before and so in the space of

a few years we went from 50%

at 100% is more than 100% and therefore in 2013

little Cypriot crisis where the banks

Cypriots finds herself having to

repay money they did not

not so obviously big enough

problem but they have an idea of

genius you’re going to ask yourself why

they did not think earlier

these summaries in this little

illustration that I show right after

awesome guys we’ll be able to help ourselves

directly to bank accounts

great champagne that is it looks

to be a caricature but that’s

exactly what happened 1 so we

laughs 30 seconds and well done we get

said shit me too I have an account in

bank in cyprus 2013

banks that were in debt

are saying well we’ll take 10% off

all assets over 100 thousand

euros 1

why do not we have access so

this is it now why

she can do that because today

precisely your money and on

bank accounts and accounts

banking and what is it a

bank account today globally

it’s a series 2 0 and 2 1 everything is

digitized and therefore from the time

where it’s scanned you believe that

it’s your money

not really in reality it’s money

from the bank and then from time to time

wanted to ask for access to your money

and so it completely changes the

perspective so here we start already

a little bit to doubt

is that really what it’s my money

there are other examples I do not have all

do them but overall you take

greece took ukraine argentina

or india

two weeks ago was not there is

three years the two weeks india it’s

the government that says November 9

well we will demonetize 86% of the

currency in circulation

thank you you have until tomorrow

it’s not a joke it’s really

that happened

so what does that mean

that means that globally your

money it belongs to you no more

you have the answer to my question

why because we want everything to be

in accounts it’s the war of cash

who today still use the cash

as a means of primary payment in all

main case plus a lot of people and

that’s really noticeable

but it’s a bit of a danger and

it’s a trend that’s in there

badly of country we do not know that the countries in

development if you take the

bottles in the countries of the ocde are

generally much earlier

on it you take sweden is

usually the cantor of

social-liberalism of the north and its downs

Sweden 80% of purchases are made without

liquid

What does it mean

concretely it means that if

tomorrow you go to stockholm and that

you take a taxi a bus you have

in a small shop it’s not that

you will not use liquid that’s

he simply could refuse

not pay in cash in a taxi have

no equal london the same thing

I was there a few weeks ago

I’m going on a bus I ‘m going to buy a

cached ticket not possible to

solutions continue on foot or go out the

credit card and so I continued to

foot

so that’s a small problem then

obviously digitized the money that to

full more is not going to veil the face

we can we can thanks to it will avoid

to walk with three tons of

coins and notes in his pocket

we can pay the right amount directly

when you are at the cashier

it saves us from waiting ten minutes

to have the change either send

money all over the world and was

nothing to the full benefits but that to

some small inconveniences that we will

see right now but rest assured

three times nothing so first time

nothing the financial exclusion of the

half of the world’s population

it’s not much of course we’ve

tend to forget it because actually

in the countries ocde down everybody a

Bank account

overall we look around

everyone else is telling

usually it’s sometimes a

legal obligation but in waters

rest of the world and if we take the world

in all its 53% of people who

do not have a bank account and who have

access to any financial service

primary so it means 3.5

billion people is not nothing

all to all these people we go to them

to say very kindly we make war

cash

so sorry you can not use anymore

cash on the other hand do not hesitate to

go through this bank account on you

forbidden to open

it’s going to be very funny to go see

the South African farmer the farmer

Indian to go tell him no open your

bank account but you can not

second problem second time nothing

yes we can why because if the

bank she holds your money and

that’s what you do with

overall your privacy is

reduced to a small portion how 10

at 0

the bank is everything you do

she sells everything you buy everything

what you sell so you will have beautiful

try to hide it from all your

force the bank is that you buy

cds justin bieber and that’s what

is dramatic third time nothing a

intermediation which nobody wants me

explain to me you go to the bakery

today you pay two euros to

baker the baker he receives two

euros in cash very good thanks goodbye

you use the eba bank card you

it changes you nothing is even more

fast by the way you go out more

quickly from the bakery but he

it changes everything when it receives

no zorro life will receive 1 90 to 95

why is he human in the middle

do not see a guy called

payment service providers who

is called bank the establishment of

credit visa mastercard there are many

who are going to take a little commission

better and then he will not have his money

he will have it in 30 days 60

days or 90 days

never do we know so that’s a

third program that is enough

important if I told you that all these

little problems there three times nothing

so we could solve them by having

still the digitization of money

you see coming we come back on the subject

it’s bitcoin what does it avoid

that no I immediately I defuse

is not the money of the dark web I know

what etc

bitcoin we’ll go back to the drawing of

main definitions of its creator

it is a peer-to-peer

electronic cash system system is

digital cash rapper and

it’s very important is hiding money

digital liquid when one is not

sure of the online account we are not

sure of banking online we are not

sure credit card online on

digital cash

so that means all the

properties of cash got

open has decentralized its peers to

peers it’s without intermediary it’s

without borders it is resilience and

respectful of privacy etc etc

all quite quickly colleagues and with

bitcoin for the first time we arrive

to create numerical value a

digital value token ie

it’s not a debt title

it’s not a right of access on a

account someone has somewhere and

sometimes they give you access that’s

of numerical value and that’s it

important because they say value

digital okay very well

today what is the value

bitcoin digital bitcoins and 700

euros

[Music]

it’s okay that means I do not have a

bis

Corinne I have a little less than a mile

ceded tons visible until

millionth so no worries but that

makes a lot of money

what does it allow you to do

bitcoin in reality that allows you to

short circuit the system today

a transfer is like that it is to

to say that you are not giving a transfer to

someone you say to your bank

to send to the bank

usually there is a room of

compensation in the midfield but

I make it short to the other bank

who needs to warn your friend that he has

well received four days later your

money biscayne arrival you say no

no no you do not need all

these people there me I money your friend

receives it directly peer-to-peer

ten minutes

how does it work all that we fall

on our paws block her the joke

chain knows that abbas and nothing else

that the technology that will allow us

that will allow bitcoin obviously

I will not stop there I

detailed a little bit what is the

next

do you imagine thought experiment

imagine you a notebook until then all

okay

a notebook in which you will write

full full of transactions in

the occurrence all the transactions that

have been done in bitcoin so we

for example this notebook I write

obviously fictitious names have

nothing to do with the news

you have ras bruno that gives

nathalie tauziat who gives to nicolas

once it’s in this notebook and

well this notebook it is distributed

it’s curious because usually

we store some because having hall

locking do not want to be touched

not there if the notebook is distributed

everyone there everybody there all

the world can write on it so there

the two questions because with everything from

it is but if everyone can

write on it what a mess

that is happening

the second question is if he ever

there is a wrongdoer forgiveness if ever there is

a villain who arrive and who says

I’m going to erase a transaction where

I will add transactions

fraudulent how are we doing and there

your notebook you have to consider that it has

a validation system that is a

little bit particular

how’s it going on this notebook there

we are not going to validate transaction by

transaction in validate page by page and

it changes everything because you can

do periodic archiving

sequential every 10 minutes a

new page is added how are we going

choose what is this page in

reality we will let everyone

do what he wants with his page me I

for example imagine that we are at the

page 5 47

we want to go to page 48 all the

world in the network is in the process

to write his own page 48 with

transactions that received it even from

transactions which he is

the observer in the network who did

nothing to do with him he’ll do his

page is a consensus algorithm that

is called like that who will determine

randomly someone in the network

who will have the right to validate his page

what does it do once it is

designated he submits his page to the network

the network looks at it and says is that

all the transactions that are on it

are honest

yes no they all have the notebook so they

can trace all the history for

whether money spent does not

been spent before etc etc

and once it’s done we link the

page we go on after

what connection with the chain lock you

tell me there because for now we

is still in the experience of

think bah it’s very simple your

notebook it’s your blocking everything

simply the pages are blocks

and the binder is a chain the

pages are blocks the binding is

a voo channel digitize all that you

have a long chain a block with

transactions in it goes through

the consensus algorithm that I’m telling you

spoke the block this is your page it

is validated and then spread over the

network if you want to change anything that

it’s going to be complicated because

that you have to go modified on

everybody’s computer is so

there obviously I imagine a little of

disappointment because we sold you the

the most sophisticated technology of

world that will replace the fire the sword

laser and we end up with a notebook

Magic

obviously I understand your dismay

however under his airs a little puny

just introduced the only

ways that exist today

exchanged value on the internet

in peer-to-peer you will read

the operator already exists

certainly it existed torrent etc I

can you send a photo in torrent

very well we listed in reality I

you do not send this picture I create

a copy because I was always

access to the photo after I wanted

to send

so it does not matter when it comes

of a photo but if I resume my

ticket that I give you 10 euros it’s

quite important that I have more 10

euros after because otherwise it’s a

little the very principle of money that

is falling apart

so that we could not do before and

the chain block what is she going

do it will create the property

digital and trust in a

hostile environment without intermediary and

thanks to that you can change the

value on the internet then the value

it has been said that it can be currency

but it can be many others

things that can be titles of

share certificates etc. etc. so you

pay a small anthology of application

from the blog shane then y’a bitcoin on

saw it but I take you a case

very simple

the famous remmy rémy

discounts by donation cost of Filipino

who works in the united states that sends

money to his family etc

today does what they go through

western union western union that’s it

it takes him four days and it takes him

10%

good bitcoin ten minutes 5 cents for

maintain the network

from there the comparison

parties we move on

the certified way scribe

independent and peer-to-peer

decentralized beyond the property

transactive intellectual anti-flu has

renounced to new york

it is energy exchange in pairs

peer passed more by

the intermediary stored farewell the farms

of microsoft or google servers because

that you can do from the cloud

decentralized no one for

control your data I finish with

beats landes quickly for example

it’s in Ghana well we’re starting from

principle that we do not have very

trust in the Ghanaian government

to hold a cadastre so of the

list the properties

geographical of each and ben on va le

to get stuck there because we

does not need trust does not have

need of intermediary

so all that finally means

what does it mean that the chain blocks

has recovered control of its

data about his money on his life’s

general way and in fact I

finishes a little lyrical way but

what does it mean

say that for the first time since

for a very long time we are questioning

trust models that have existed

for centuries the banks the

notaries the governments etc

there we start to say effect finally

it may not be that useful

these people there for the first time in

the story one says to oneself I prefer to do

trust trust the notion is

very important to algorithms

rather than humans and there I you

ask the question is it really that

digital emancipation

thank you
