I have a hardcore tech background and BARELY understand this. Actually, I need to watch this video a couple more times. There is no way most people using bitcoins understands this shit.
I'm a software dev with 3 decades of experience, but still struggle comprehending all of the bitcoin ecosystem. The 22 minute "How bitcoin Mining Works" helps greatly, but it would help to see an explanation (i.e. historical analysis) of the first 10 or 20 transactions starting at block 0. The genesis block started with 50 BTC, so how did that get spent, when was the first block created, how many transactions did it have, how did new BTC produced by the miners get spent into the transaction chain etc. I'm thinking if I saw how the 3 purposes of mining were fulfilled thru the actual early transactions it would "click" for me and all the pieces would lock into coherent understanding.
