Blockchain, l’utopie pour combien de temps ? | WILLIAM O’RORKE | TEDxLille


[Music]
[Music]
good evening to all I started to
interest me in the channel blog the day
I realized that it was not just
technical innovation but the foundation
of a future internet of trust I
am convinced
belote chain will be at the service of
trust like the banks the
assurances even lawyers a
digital revolution the scale of
the one that the post the media or the
information services have known with
internet what strikes when one
is interested in the chain blocks and
internet is first of all the
similarity between the values ​​of their
community of origin
privacy protection
the questioning of third parties
trust
sharing and colo and the
collaboration between users in
1996 john perry barlow who
unfortunately we left there is
two months now has published a text
founder and history on the internet sa
declaration of independence
in this text they rejected the
sovereignty of the state over this new
territory
in 94 at the same time the crypto
anarchist who was going to become the
community we’re going to say adoption or
birth of bitcoin later have
published their manifesto in this one he
states that governments
commercial companies and
faceless organizations we ourselves
will not grant privacy by act
of benevolence a call
remain unanswered to fix this problem
by technology is indeed internet
has become an area of ​​power and a
surveillance zone
not far from home from the other
side of the sleeve
an english company cambridge
analytica to manipulate the elections the
bric site as well as the elections of the
most powerful democracy on the planet
the united states using our data
facebook from the links between the
blocks chain and internet several
questions come to my mind
c is the first that the blocks
chain will follow the same internet path
the second is what the
merchandising and concentration
internet will end up on the blog
chain the third c is what the blog
chain will become an area of ​​power and
a surveillance zone like the internet
fake answers this question I you
proposes to make a return to the past
and watch the evolution of the internet
compared to these two block chain
for internet
everything starts fifty years ago when
the US military sets up a
decentralized network capable of
resist a nuclear attack in order to
ability to communicate very quickly
geeks a little hippie libertarians
understand that this network will allow them
to communicate with each other at
sheltered from censorship and propaganda
I remind you that at the time we
are in the middle of the cold war for these
pioneers
internet should be the way to
to realize a freedom of expression
total as internet
bitcoin the first blog channel was
created to allow for the exchange of
value in its simplest form the
currency not like paypal but from
exchange money without going through
a trusted third party
a bank where the bitcoin state was created
in 2008 and it is not a coincidence 2008
it’s the date of one of the biggest
betrayals of trusted third parties
the subprime crisis during
years the banks have assured us that
the situation was under control and that
all was well they did
caused a global crisis that plunged
in the misery of millions of people and
myself kneeling states and these are
our taxes
to us the citizens who saved the
finance facing this betrayal the blocks
string does not offer an answer
legal or political answer she
proposes a technological answer that
to pay to manage wealth between
we on a network they be
collectives without going through the banks
exactly where the states the blog string
is above all an ideal an ideal where
every individual would be totally free
to manage his digital wealth is
totally responsible for the scene blocks
it’s the promise of independence
financial like the internet was the
promise of freedom of expression
absolute yet internet did not hold
his promise
so what happened when
the history of the internet has rocked
we know it today in the years
90 some companies have understood the
digitization phenomenon of the world
which internet company amazon and born
in 94
at the time he was selling google books
was born in a garage in 98 obviously
at that time no one took them to
seriously we in france continued to
use the minitel and the government
French then received a report from
name of its author sir terry who
claimed that the internet
global business does match even
not 12th of the Minitel’s
surely not a good way to make
online business services
we were once again the precursors
during this time there amazon and google and
facebook understood very well the
new rules of the proposed game of
unlimited services at the scale of this
global network and services even the
more often than not because running
on the collection of personal data
the consequence is known these services
have become points of passage
obliged and the numbers today are
scary 95% these are the searches
on the internet that you do using
one google search engine 75%
it’s advertising revenues in
line that falls into the pocket of
facebook and google
2020 is the date on which it is estimated
that the cumulative turnover of
google google amazon facebook and apple
will make it the first power
global economic the good chain she
also this goods
it is now far from the time when the
bitcoin pioneers of 12 anarchist
libertarian
they have become now either
millionaires be business leaders
flourishing and especially they turned
the back to their ideals finished the
decentralization
now they want to create
centralized companies that’s all the
paradox an open free network and
decentralized can accommodate
services that are centralized and
concentrated that’s what happened
exactly
with internet you could have instead of
do your research on google type
directly the name of the site in the bar
research but we all go through
google google data collection us
offers better service and the loop
is buckled
today google has become the only one
door gateway to the web
and that’s a problem
the same phenomenon today is
reproduced in the chain blocks when
I bought my first bitcoin my
first piece of bitcoin I
met someone I gave him some
the money he gave me bitcoin that
was made between us without thirds of
trust
now I’m going through a platform
centralized in the united states as bells
the main platform for buying and
sale of bitcoin to the world account
now over 15 million
users
it’s ten times more than two years ago
exponential growth makes me think
that a decline will soon become the
google of bitcoin ie the unique
access door what good is having a network
decentralized is free if there is only one
door especially that obviously this
concentration is not compatible with
the original values ​​of the community
blocks are the services that were
open today are closed on
sharing and collaboration let
the place to competition and to
consumption worse the protection of the
privacy and confidentiality have
left room for identification
systematic and data collection
sybase always recently was
obliged to transmit several
tens of thousands of tax identity
American
so the tax question interests me
particularly as a lawyer may
you sit down I will not talk to you about
taxation because it allows us
to tackle the last stone in the building
of centralization this is the
regulation the regulation
always a good feeling protect the
consumers protect you and make me
work but regulation
that is to say, it’s uncomfortable
also a barrier between those who
benefit
those who are willing is what they do not
are not and this barrier is all
more difficult to cross when a
amenity can cost several hundred
thousands of euros
so is this merchandising
of the chain baule leads us she us
leads to an ironic situation the
chain blog services born after the crisis
from 2008 will become what they have
always denounced banks yes everything
simply banks so obviously
we went from utopia to
merchandising of merchandising at
concentration and concentration
it’s a notion that has to do with the
can these services today have
they do not have too much power on the internet
games are made platforms
digital
cockroaches today have power
economic that allows them to kill
innovation they have yet
benefited from a new idea or a
competitor that does heins gaffard he
offers you two choices I buy you
that’s what facebook did with
instagram in 2015 for a billion
dollars
or so I let you access my
platform but submits conditions under
my control
today who can launch a service
whatever it is without going through google
facebook youtube or apple people
some have tried they obviously
had a problem
proton mail is a mail service that
characterized by a great respect for
privacy it arises as a
alternative to gmail in 2015 google whose
gmail has just removed
search results not during
few hours in a few days but
for ten months that is to say that
for ten months a digital service has
disappeared from the internet service that
obviously almost failed to put the
key under the door
in the end against these platforms
it is I buy you or I submit to you as
would say pablo escobar take my gold or
take my lead
an economic power book but
also a societal power like
revealed edouard snowdon in 2013 the
great surveillance machine
gone mad from the united states is this
not only pioneer the enemies of
America but also
France governments heads of state
Angela Merkel or ordinary citizens
maybe some of you what
shocks me in this case was not
that a government
no intelligence service we
monitor 90 that we are used to but
it’s more than they relied on
employees at least
unexpected it’s the digital business
champion of the transparency of
horizontality and kindness
which two countries want to tell us google
lab look chain will soon know these
giants and there is no reason to believe that
the chain lock will be safe the
internet drift as you go
that the power of blog companies
shane will grow up how to be sure she
will not use his power to kill
innovation to rule out
competitors to maximize its profits
as their power
economic will increase how to be sure
that they will be able to withstand
the pressure of the governments that
will ask us to watch on behalf by
example of the fight against terrorism
with their details near the chain blog
is founded I do not fit in
details about a registry that is
transparent and open
just know it’s a bad thing
new for our living it is as
and as the chain blocks come in
in our lives as she entered
as the internet has entered our lives
before she then limits to control
and the supervision of third parties
trust will be more and more
difficult to fix
I think you understood it I do not
am not very optimistic about the evolution
string blocks it will not delete
the fire of confidence she will create some
new so what to do when everything is going
bad he must reread churchill he said to
his people
if you forget your past you will be
condemned to relive it
so I would like to tell you who
are here tonight also at all the
digital people let’s learn from our
guilty negligence with the giants of
digital to users first
I would like to tell them
for years we have not
paid enough attention to the
concentration of powers in
hands of some giants on the internet
today we have a second
chance the revolution blocks chain is in
effect at the internet stage in the
90s
everything remains to be done so open up the
eyes and especially adopt a spirit
critical and a political mind on the
technology
it’s at this price that the blog channel
will be able to make internet an internet of
trust thank you
