“Users and entrepreneurs building new business models off the blockchai...” — Brock Pierce Quote

“Users and entrepreneurs building new business models off the blockchain means that there are competing interests on how best to scale the network. Linux, also an open source software project, had similar growing pains.”

“The blockchain is going to change everything more than the Internet has.”

“No one will use the new Internet if it's slow, costs money and doesn't scale.”

“There are regulators at the SEC and elsewhere who are really excited about the potential of the blockchain. They understand you can build a robust financial system - it would solve all your black swan problems. All kinds of mischief and games that are played in the current system become impossible in this system.”

“People didn't know where they could trade. When everybody owes each other IOUs that can be in multiple places at once, that's how the system couldn't tell any more who owned what and who owed what to whom. Blockchain could have prevented 2008.”
