What other crypto-assets and technologies
What other crypto-assets and technologies interest you besides Bitcoin and Ethereum? I'm interested in the cryptocurrencies that are pioneering privacy and anonymity, such as Monero and Zcash. I'm interested in resource-sharing ones as well. It is less likely that they will be eclipsed by Bitcoin and its second layers as long as they maintain that privacy-conscious differentiation.
Is Litecoin still "the silver to bitcon's [digital] gold"? Litecoin often follows the core roadmap, but it has filled a niche of rapid development that acts as a testing ground for innovations that may end up in Bitcoin. I think there is room for multiple cryptocurrencies that have less adoption overall but are "apex" in certain categories.

0:00 What crypto-assets or technologies interest you, besides Bitcoin and Ethereum?
1:16 What are your thoughts on Litecoin? Do you see it as "the silver to bitcoin's gold"?
2:40 Do privacy-focused altcoins like Monero have a future in light of the second-layer innovations coming to Bitcoin?
5:37 Would you agree that hypothetical attempts of bootstrapping a completely new value token are now virtually guaranteed to fail?
This is a question from the patron-only live Q&A which took place on December 16th 2017. If you want early-access to talks and a chance to participate in the monthly live Q&As with Andreas, become a patron: Patreon: aantonop
