Chapters
0:00 What determines the buying power of the currency?
0:28 Bitcoin trading never ceases 
0:59 Whales manipulating markets
1:10 The rollercoaster of bitcoin prices, shifts of 20-30% in a day!

This video is an excerpt from the Introduction to Bitcoin presentation that Andreas delivered in September of 2106. The questions asked during the session were not pre-vetted (Andreas never does that) and involved the most pressing questions of the day. You'll notice not much has changed, people are still concerned about price volatility and market manipulation. You can see the entire Intro to Bitcoin video here: https://youtu.be/l1si5ZWLgy0
