I think it's always interesting when you see a company start moving so quickly - it's like wow, incredible. When a company like Uber starts breaking away, it's not a linear thing. It's exponential. All of a sudden, the guy you know who threw $25,000 at Uber very early on - all the sudden, that $25,000 is $25 million.

One of the things that has plagued bitcoin is not bitcoin itself but the companies built on top of it.

Hate is a strong word. It's also very destructive, so no - I don't hate Mark Zuckerberg.

The narrative behind bitcoin has been dominated by bad behavior. The reality is bitcoin is filled with tons of talented developers building infrastructure.

Cash is going to be killed. It will be nostalgia.

Bitcoins are like gold bars with wings. That is why I, and so many others, view bitcoin and its network as gold 2.0.

The attraction to me was that Harvard was such a big community, with interesting things to do and interesting people, but you realise when you're there that things are a lot narrower than you thought. It's a little bit of a let-down.

The idea of money being something physical is almost entirely a fiction. Sure, you can go to your ATM and pull out cash. And you can feel cash in your back pocket and have some tangible comfort there - but in reality, the majority of your money is a number on a screen.

I remember when people called Facebook a fad.

Gemini is a spot bitcoin exchange. To use it, you sign up with Gemini.com and undergo the initial standard review process, similar to what you'd encounter at a traditional bank. Once you're through, you can ACH or wire cash to the platform, then begin buying and selling bitcoin.

On one of our very first days when we tried rowing, our coach, James Mangan, showed us a video of the Boat Race. That was part of the impetus for us to start rowing.

I think our path to the Olympics is a good metaphor for how you build a company. Our skill and commitment grew over time, day by day, stroke by stroke. So, sports are tied well with our entrepreneurial pursuits because you train for a few years, but there is no guarantee that you will succeed.

The promise of the Internet is being held back by Visa, Master Card, American Express.

I've been a huge fan of Mike Judge for a long time.

Bitcoin and digital currency is just this thing that was always going to happen.

I don't think it hurts to have rowing featured in a movie that's in the race for the best pictures. If it means someone might try the sport... then I'm really excited and happy about that.

If Bitcoin is a better gold or seen as a type of gold-like asset, then it could be in the trillions on a market cap.

I'm not a man who likes to define his identity too narrowly.

Our basic thesis for bitcoin is that it is better than gold.

Everybody has a good idea, but nothing goes as planned.

Gox was a pattern of poor operations, poor customer service, poor PR. You can't just take bitcoin and hide.

Every investor around the world wants to invest in U.S. markets because they're regulated and they're licensed. They're trustworthy; they have confidence. If you take that away, the global economy will take a hit like nothing else. We want to create that for Bitcoin.

Judging a child taking his first steps for not being able to run a marathon is shortsighted.

I think fiat currencies will become digital.

We may have been born on third base, but we worked like we were starting from home plate. You know: batter up.
