“Money should work like email. At the end of the day, it is information. It is simply an entry in a ledger, and why does it not work that way? It is because the money that we are used to predates the internet, was built by bankers, not technologists. Bitcoin is really the first money purpose-built for the internet.” - Tyler Winklevoss

“Free speech is not speech you agree with, uttered by someone you admire. It's speech that you find stupid, selfish, dangerous, uninformed or threatening, spoken and sponsored by someone you despise, fear or ridicule. Free speech is unpopular, contentious and sometimes ugly. It reflects a tolerance for differences. If everyone agreed on all things, we wouldn't need it.” - Robert J. Samuelson

“Taxes are an evil - a necessary evil, but still an evil, and the fewer of them we have the better.” - Winston Churchill

“Herein lies the value of free speech. It makes concealment difficult, and, in the long run, impossible. One heretic, if he is right, is as good as a host. He is bound to win in the long run. It is thus no wonder that foes of the enlightenment always begin their proceedings by trying to deny free speech to their opponents. It is dangerous to them and they know it. So they have at it by accusing these opponents of all sorts of grave crimes and misdemeanors, most of them clearly absurd - in other words, by calling them names and trying to scare them.” - H. L. Mencken

“I don't respect people unless I think they deserve the respect. There are people who think that respect is something that should be given, and I happen to be one of the people who is perfectly happy saying no; respect should be earned. And without being earned, you don't get it. It's really that simple.” - Linus Torvalds

“The more loathsome people that use bitcoin, the better. The more it works even if teeming with people that mutually despise each other, the more faith I have in its ability to protect us all.” - Nic Carter

“Hugs not drugs.... no wait, hugs AND drugs!” - Ross Ulbricht

“Whether it is the growth of the new schools of economics in America or England or the appearance of the so-called new philosophers in France, there is one unifying thread running through the intellectual work of these groups — rejection of the arbitrary power of the state, the refusal to subordinate the rights of the individual to the superstate, the realization that collectivism stifles all the best human impulses.” - Ronald Reagan

“Many a one cannot deliver himself from his own chains and yet he is his friend’s deliverer.” - Friedrich Nietzsche

“Experience teaches only the teachable.” - Aldous Huxley
