“Bitcoin never sleeps. We need to move quickly and grow quickly and do everything sooner rather than later.”
“If the world's using bitcoin, governments won't be able to fund wars through inflation like they do today.”
“Bitcoin is coming from a bunch of young computer nerds who saw this thing and thought it was neat. A lot of the early bitcoiners are 19-year-old kids, still living at home with their parents, and they don't have any business experience.”
“Because the supply of Bitcoin is limited, the price of Bitcoin is going to have to increase and increase very substantially over time. My advice is that if you're interested in Bitcoin and excited by Bitcoin, then buy some Bitcoin and hold onto them, and you're likely to do very well over time.”
“If it is something particularly useful and for some reason is having trouble getting funding from traditional sources, I may be interested.”
“At first, almost everyone who got involved did so for philosophical reasons. We saw bitcoin as a great idea, as a way to separate money from the state.”
“I'm motivated by the positive ways in which Bitcoin use being widespread will make the world a better place.”
“Silicon Valley is a great place for Bitcoin, since everyone understands computers, and there are lots of libertarians running around.”
“If you look at the market cap of Ethereum before the hard fork and the split into Ethereum Classic, the combined market cap of Ethereum and Ethereum Classic is greater than the market cap before the split - and everybody got what they want.”
“If the U.S. government tries to restrict or clamp down, that just means there will be many more bitcoin businesses in Hong Kong and Singapore, and all those Americans will miss out on all the opportunities.”
“The U.S. is making it extremely difficult for me to stop being American.”
“Before Bitcoin, I was just waiting around for the Singularity.”
“Once people see Bitcoin and how it works, they realise this isn't just a flash in the pan.”
“Anybody who has enough information about what's going on in the bitcoin world, you would not buy your bitcoins on Mt. Gox.”
“I don't think it's any sort of stretch of the imagination to say that, very, very realistically, each single bitcoin, if bitcoin becomes popular, will have to be worth at least tens of thousands of dollars.”
“Setting regulatory certainty is very important for bitcoin. I'm opposed to the regulations, but the bitcoin businesses need to know the rules of the game in order to move ahead.”
“I think most politicians have almost no understanding of economics; otherwise, they wouldn't have become politicians.”
“Bitcoin is amazingly transformative because it's the first time in the entire history of the world in which anybody can now send or receive any amount of money, with anyone else, anywhere on the planet, without having to ask permission from any bank or government.”
“If there's another iPhone that's better, that's sad for my old iPhone. But it means we get to use a better one.”
“Money laundering is not a crime. It's just because certain men with guns don't like what other people are doing with their own money, so they decide it's okay to lock those people in a cage.”
