From YouTube: Jordi Baylina // An Ethereum Interview Series @Devcon3
Description
We had the opportunity to speak with Jordi Baylina of Giveth and a number of other projects. We had an inspirational conversation about the benefits of Ethereum and how it can have a major impact on political system we know today. He discussed how the use of Ethereum can change current voting processes for good.
A
A
Started
reading
Bitcoin
at
something
like
2013
or
2014
about
that
I
read:
Bitcoin,
I
love,
it
idea.
It
was
very,
very,
very
cool,
but
I
start
like
trying
to
do
interesting
things
so,
and
it
was
a
smart
contracts.
I
didn't
know
that
that
was
the
name
it
that
way
at
that
name
it
that
at
that
point,
but
I
was
trying
to
do
smart
contracts,
but
you
know
those
of
codes,
and
it's
very
you
know
it's
very
frustrating
because
most
of
the
opcodes
they
don't
work
and
it
was
ok.
A
This
is
cool
for
payments,
but
you
know
for
doing
interesting
things
that
I
want
to
do
it,
maybe
it's
not
at
all
and
so
on,
and
then
in
in
200000
see
a
couple
of
years
later
2016.
In
the
JavaScript
conference
there
was
a
guy
that
start
talking
about
decentralized
protocols,
ipfs
and
so
on.
They
don't
even
name
a
three-month
time,
but
ok,
my
mind
start
blowing
on
there,
so
I
would
just
investigate
it.
The
internet
and
I
came
to
the
FAO
and
it's
when
your
ok,
your
eyes
and
start
going
up
so
ok.
A
This
is
something
that
what
I
was
trying
to
do
in
two
years
ago.
No
here
you
can,
you
can't
really
have
a
platform
to
do
that,
and
you
can't
really.
You
know
in
two
lines.
You
can.
You
know
something
that
could
take,
maybe
like
one
month
and
it
didn't
work.
You
can't
into
lines
an
infinitely
you
get
a
smart
contract
deploy
than
yours,
spend
all
my
free
time
investigating
on
that
and
at
one
point
have
to
name
that
I
went
through.
You
know,
I
discover
all
the
doubt.
A
It's
like
it's
a
little
project
in
the
system,
but
I
was
reading
all
that
hour.
I
saw
this
as
my
contract
I'd
read
and
study
it
I
make
the
I
make
a
full
pull
request
to
create
a
liquid
democracy
for
that
ow.
Of
course,
this
put
back
whenever
I
publish
at
the
same
day
that
I
was
launched
at
so,
but
it
was
annexed,
incredible,
good
exercise
to
do
and
then
I
readied
this
smart
contract.
A
But
we
did
look
at
democracy
system
that
you
don't
need
it
to
upgrade
that
out
for
doing
that,
and
then
is
when
you
see
that
powerful
and
then
you
discover
they're,
also
all
the
community
part
in
the
now
and
all
that
stuff,
and
when
you
see
this
cover
that
there
is
very
cool
people,
that's
connected
together.
That's
trying
to
create
this
new
world.
That's
trying
to
to
do
something
else.
A
A
A
Well,
at
the
end,
our
tools
that
does
not
doesn't
depend
of
a
central
power.
Okay,
so
and
when
the
reason
central
power
means
that
you
that
you
have
like
two
classes,
you
have
two
two
different
levels:
okay,
that
which
is
in
the
central
and
which
is
in
the
side,
okay,
and
that
makes
difference.
That
makes
the
differences
and
it's
very
difficult
to
avoid
the
difference,
because
you
are
the
same
in
the
center
cut.
A
Center
can
be
one
person
or
can
be
maybe
a
reduced
set
of
persons,
okay,
but
they
have
some
privileges,
they
have
some
decisions
and
they
are
one
for
the
good
and
for
the
bad,
no,
but
they
there
and
then
there
is
the
the
rest
of
the
the
rest
of
the
part.
The
centralization
means.
That
means
that
that
there
is
no
center,
there
is
no
center
part
means
that
everybody,
if
you
want
everybody,
is
the
center
that
that
the
system
works
in
this
mesh.
A
It
works
because
these
individual
interactions
and
then
is
when
the
individual,
the
person
is
really
in
the
center.
Everybody
is
like
a
small
Center
and
you
connect
that
together
and
yeah.
The
problem
of
of
this
of
this
decentralized
systems
is
that
they
are
expensive.
They
are
not
in
general,
they
are
not
optimal.
They
are
not
from
engineering
point
of
view.
A
A
You
know
central
people
that
just
controlling
the
system,
no,
that's,
okay,
that's
counting
and
managing
the
organizing
defining
the
rules
and
it's
very
difficult
to
do
without
without
the
center
in
blockchain.
This
is
not
necessary
anymore.
You
know
the
people
just
can
self-organize
the
people,
maybe
someone
proposed,
but
you
know
it's
people
just
accept
and
people
just
vote
and
you
don't
you
don't
need
anybody
that
controls
the
system
and
watches
you
know
it's
it's
there.
A
A
A
We
need
easy
right
now,
it's
an
advanced,
it's
not
bad
tool.
There
are
tools
that
are
not
easy,
and
this
usability
no
transactions
take
long
and
you
need
to
check
that
the
transactions
works.
Okay
and
you
maybe
you
need
to
install
something
to
me
to
start
with
a
mask
or
something.
That's
not
really
right.
Now
there,
whose
ability
of
the
network
of
the
of
the
of
the
of
the
platform
needs
to
grow
a
lot
and
I
also
want
to
mention
this
security
I
think
that's
an
important
part
and
I'm
not
mentioned
security
in
smart
contracts.
A
A
Affair
iam,
as
assists
I,
would
say
that
not
much
the
one
that
really
helped
a
lot
was
ipfs.
Of
course,
if
swarm
was
available,
maybe
that
could
dream
could
could
help
a
lot.
You
know
when
you
know
that,
in
the
forum
in
the
in
the
Catalonian
referendum
we
had
a
Spanish
government
just
six
or
many
web
pages,
then
the
Catalan
people
had
to
they
had
the
need
to
access
these
web
pages.
Some
of
these
web
pages.
A
Worse,
for
example,
they
said
where
the
people
had
to
go
to
the
boat,
so
the
people
need
to
to
go
to
these
pages.
To
query:
where
were
what
are
the
people?
Were
you
voted?
There's
a
small
database.
You
say:
okay,
this
is
my
identification
number.
This
is
my
birthday,
so
you
have
to
go
to
this
school.
A
This
is
Street
or
whatever.
You
need
just
some
single
basic
information
that
the
people
needed
for
in
order
to
the
nicest
vote-
and
this
was
this
hurt
by
the
Spanish
by
the
Spanish
government.
So
what
the
people
do
in
order
to
access
that?
Ok,
the
web
doesn't
work
what
we
do.
Of
course,
you
have
many
many
options.
A
You
can
have
a
VPN,
you
can
use
tor
browser.
The
society
is
not
prepared,
just
not
prepared
for
them.
It
is
when
you
see
that
the
society
they
start
using
this
hockey
with
hockey
tools
and
this
stuff,
it's
like.
No,
this
the
society
is
not
prepared.
If
a
forum
would
be
in
in
Rio,
this
will
not
even
have
impossible.
You
could
just
you,
have
your
browser
in
your
computer
and
yeah.
If
you
have
internet
connection,
you
just
access
and
nobody
can
see
so
bad.
A
You
know
you
can,
for
example,
you
could
send
information
if
you
have,
for
example,
and
defecation
system
of
the
people,
you
can
send
information
of
where
you
want
to
where
you
come
boat,
or
even
you
can
vote
in
the
same
blockchain.
So
if,
if
you
go
to
the
future
really
in
a
theorem,
you
could
well,
you
could
just
organize
the
full
voting
in
the
blockchain.
