  • 00:15:00 The speaker discusses the differences between medium of exchange (M of E), low frequency settlement network (LFSN), and low frequency medium of exchange (LFM). They explain that, as a M of E, bitcoin is more than enough for low frequency transactions, and that once a year would be enough.

  • 02:05:00 In this video, Sailor talks about the idea of creating "monuments in cyberspace," which is a phrase he coined to describe the new possibilities that Bitcoin brings into the world.
