I just got some
“Bitcoin is a technological tour de force.”
Bill Gates
“I’m a big fan of Bitcoin … Regulation of money supply needs to be depoliticized.”
Al Gore
“I think the internet is going to be one of the major forces for reducing the role of government. The one thing that’s missing but that will soon be developed, is a reliable e-cash.”
Milton Friedman, Nobel winner for economics
“Every informed person needs to know about Bitcoin because it might be one of the world’s most important developments.”
Leon Louw, Nobel nominee
“The Bitcoin actually has the balance and incentives right and that is why it is starting to take off.”
Julian Assange
“Cryptology represents the future of privacy by implication also represents the future of money, and the future of banking and finance.”
“You can’t stop things like Bitcoin. [...]. It’s like trying to stop gunpowder.”
“The next step in human evolution would be a race that could put their trust in each other, not in their rulers or politicians.”
“Gold is a great way to preserve wealth, but it is hard to move around. You do need some kind of alternative and Bitcoin fits the bill. I’m not surprised to see that happening.”
“What can’t kill Bitcoin, makes it stronger.”
“This may be the purest form of democracy the world has ever known, and for one I am thrilled to be here to watch it unfold.”
“We have elected to put our money and faith in a mathematical framework that is free of politics and human error.”
“There are 3 eras of currency: commodity based, politically based, and now, math based.”
“If we remember, 15 years ago if you were doing anything on the Internet you were going to make millions. I think it could be the same with Bitcoin.”
“Bitcoin will do to banks what email did to the postal industry.”
“With e-currency based on cryptographic proof, without the need to trust a third party middleman, money can be secure and transactions effortless.”
“Bitcoin is the beginning of something great: a currency without a government, something necessary and imperative.”
“The governments of the world have spent hundreds and hundreds of trillions of dollars bailing out a decaying, dickensian, outmoded system called banking, when the solution to the future of finance is peer-to-peer. It’s going to be alternative currencies like bitcoin and it’s not actually going to be a banking system as we had before 2008."
“Gold is a great way to preserve wealth but it is hard to move around. You do need some kind of alternative and it fits the bill. I’m not surprised to see that happening.”
“Bitcoin is getting there but it’s not there yet. When it gets there, expect governments to panic and society to be reshaped into something where governments cannot rely on taxing income nor wealth for running their operations.”
“While the freedom Bitcoin promises is an illusion, it’s one that will always have a grip on the human mind – the dream of finding some kind of talisman, a benevolent tyrant or a magical new technology, that can shelter us from power and crime and protect us from each other.”
“Instant transactions, no waiting for checks to clear, no chargebacks (merchants will like this), no account freezes (look out Paypal), no international wire transfer fee, no fees of any kind, no minimum balance, no maximum balance, worldwide access, always open, no waiting for business hours to make transactions, no waiting for an account to be approved before transacting, open an account in a few seconds, as easy as email, no bank account needed, extremely poor people can use it, extremely wealthy people can use it, no printing press, no hyper-inflation, no debt limit votes, no bank bailouts, completely voluntary. This sounds like the best payment system in the world!”
Trace Mayer, J.D., a Leading Monetary Expert on Bitcoin and Gold
