β€œMany individuals in government don't seem to understand the laws of economics. ... They often brag at news conferences that their interception of drugs between producer and consumer has raised the 'street value' of the drugs, meaning that the drugs are now scarcer than they were. What these statists stubbornly refuse to acknowledge is that this only increases the market incentive to cash in on those higher prices by making up for the artificial scarcity.” - L. Neil Smith
β€œIn a free society the state does not administer the affairs of men. It administers justice among men who conduct their own affairs.” - Walter Lippmann
β€œWhere the voice of the people is heard, elite groups must insure their voice says the right things.” - Noam Chomsky
β€œOnce you've taken a public stand you know is right, never back down; anything less than a rock-hard stance will let your enemies nibble you to death.” - L. Neil Smith

β€œBitcoin is a seed of hope in a society which lost vision years ago and perspective just recently.” - Kim Neunert
β€œI don't want to live in a world where everything that I say, everything I do, everyone I talk to, every expression of creativity or love or friendship is recorded. That's not something I'm willing to support, it's not something I'm willing to build, and it's not something I'm willing to live under.” - Edward Snowden
β€œTo politicians, solved problems represent a dire threat - of unemployment and poverty. That's why no problem ever tackled by the government has ever been solved. What they want is lots of problems they can promise to solve, so that we'll keep electing them - or letting them keep their jobs in a bureaucracy metastasizing like cancer.” - L. Neil Smith
β€œStay Humble. Stack Sats.” - ODELL
β€œ[Bitcoin's] mere existence is an insurance policy that will remind governments that the last object the establishment could control, namely, the currency, is no longer their monopoly. This gives us, the crowd, an insurance policy against an Orwellian future.” - Nassim Taleb
