Blockchain technology and the potential it has to change the world is not a hype, it's real. - David Johnson, CEO of Latium (2017) #satoshi#nakamoto#bitcoin
In the long run, a decentralized, cryptographic, public ledger (the blockchain) is a more secure model for managing and protecting identities and assets. - Don Tapscott, Author of "Blockchain Revolution" (2016) #satoshi#nakamoto#bitcoin
There are 3 eras of currency: commodity based, politically based, and now, math-based. - Chris Dixon, Co-Founder of Hunch (2014) #satoshi#nakamoto#bitcoin
Cypherpunks are activists who advocate for the widespread use of strong cryptography as a route to progressive change. - Cory Doctorow #decentralization#cypherpunk#dweb
Cryptocurrency is such a powerful concept that it could potentially change the way money works forever. - Tim Draper, Venture Capitalist (2014) #satoshi#nakamoto#bitcoin
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 Prize-winning economist (1999) #satoshi#nakamoto#bitcoin
Bitcoin is a digital currency that could transform how we buy and sell things. It could change the way money works. - Don Tapscott, Author of "Blockchain Revolution" (2016) #satoshi#nakamoto#bitcoin
Blockchain is the tech. Bitcoin is merely the first mainstream manifestation of its potential. - Marc Kenigsberg, https://t.co/6QFUDjF5Xv (2013) #satoshi#nakamoto#bitcoin
Virtual currencies, perhaps most notably Bitcoin, have captured the imagination of some, struck fear among others, and confused the heck out of the rest of us. - Thomas Carper, US Senator (2013) #satoshi#nakamoto#bitcoin
Bitcoin is a remarkable cryptographic achievement and the ability to create something that is not duplicable in the digital world has enormous value. - Eric Schmidt, CEO of Google (2014) #satoshi#nakamoto#bitcoin
The only thing that's missing, but that will soon be developed, is a reliable e-cash. - Milton Friedman, Nobel Prize-winning economist (1999) #satoshi#nakamoto#bitcoin
In this sense, transaction is no different from any other kind of information. The fact that a transaction has occurred is publicly known, but the identity of the parties involved is not. #satoshi#nakamoto#bitcoin
The winner, who solves a computationally difficult problem, gets to place the next block on the block chain and claim the rewards. #satoshi#nakamoto#bitcoin
This decentralization allows it to be resistant to attacks and censorship, as there is no single point of control to attack or censor. #satoshi#nakamoto#bitcoin
The nature of Bitcoin is such that once version 0.1 was released, the core design was set in stone for the rest of its lifetime. #satoshi#nakamoto#bitcoin
The Bitcoin system is completely decentralized, with no central server or trusted parties. Nodes broadcast transactions to the network, and then compete to create the next block. #satoshi#nakamoto#bitcoin
