“New mobile-payment-based models are, in some ways, more secure. Because in a model like Circle's, for example, we never transmit your personal information or your financial credentials to the people you're paying.”

“The big idea of, 'Hey, I can pay anyone, anywhere, with whatever digital wallet they have, and it just flows around the Internet' - that's on the horizon; that's how we built everything we do.”

“I do think the blockchain infrastructure is here to stay.”

“As I was looking around, to me, what was happening in the blockchain and crypto world was a movement.”

“Make no mistake, blockchain will be a game changer, but it is not the answer to every business opportunity or problem.”
