Federico Pistono: Bitcoin's Power Structure is Very Robust, Altcoins Are Test Bed

Audiences seemed unprepared for the progress made by artificial intelligence while they weren't looking. Federico Pistono, however, foresaw this moment, and the many similar moments we will undoubtedly witness in the near future, as far as six years ago, in his bestselling book "Robots Will Steal Your Job, But That's OK: How to Survive the Economic Collapse and be Happy." In addition to researching the societal implications of artificial intelligence on the evolution of society, Mr. Pistono is an entrepreneur, investor, startup founder, public speaker and most recently, Head of Blockchain at Hyperloop Transportation Technologies- a company that is working on the first supersonic land transport. He took a few minutes out of his busy schedule to speak with CryptoComes about Bitcoin's prospects, surveillance states and why he might take some time before writing another book.
