"Fix the money, fix the world. Yes, that's one thing. But if we want to starve the beast, we can't keep feeding it our kids, hearts, minds and souls because it's not going to work.

"My view for the future is that the way that we keep podcasting open and protect the precious medium that we have is to help podcasters get paid with this open payment protocol called Lightning.

“It seemed like a risky thing. But the more I did understand it, the more I was like NOT having bitcoin is the real risk. OK, the price goes up and down. But at the end of the day, even there in the worst of the bear markets, I'd be like, has anything really changed other than the price? Nothing has changed fundamentally. So why would my belief in this change?”

"Everyone just gets gravity. Everyone gets the protocol and we all live within that. And that's a rule without rulers.

"Bitcoin implicates the First Amendment. As a system for collecting and communicating information ranging from payment data to art, bitcoin is speech. As a statement of protest against the government’s monopoly over money, bitcoin is expressive conduct. And as a collection of individuals that share bitcoin’s hard-coded principles of individual liberty, anti-censorship, and anti-debasement, bitcoin is an expressive association.
Bitcoin is free speech protected by the First Amendment and...
