Bitcoin, in the short or even long term, may turn out be a good investment in the same way that anything that is rare can be considered valuable. Like baseball cards. Or a Picasso. Andrew Ross Sorkin

Filecoin is a token with fundamental value. Filecoin is like Bitcoin, but miners amass hard drives instead of hashing computers. Juan Benet
Some of the bitcoin community come from that kind of anarchistic, libertarian view. But, one reason why I think Ripple has been very successful is because we work with the system. Brad Garlinghouse
We will never hear about people’s Bitcoin accounts being frozen or seized by a government agency. Roger Ver
Price is the least interesting thing about bitcoin. Roger Ver

Before Bitcoin, I was just waiting around for the Singularity. Roger Ver
I trust bitcoin more than I trust my bank. Adam Draper
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. Tyler Winklevoss
Sir Richard Branson started out as a small business owner and now owns a conglomerate that will give you a ride to the moon. If you pay for your ride with bitcoin, you’ll be using the first truly universal currency! Perianne Boring
I think there’s a need for services that will make it easier for Chinese consumers to spend globally. The Bitcoin network could be an attractive solution. Jeremy Allaire

I do not understand where the backing of Bitcoin is coming from. There is no fundamental issue of capabilities of repaying it in anything which is universally acceptable, which is either intrinsic value of the currency or the credit or trust of the individual who is issuing the money, whether it’s a government or an individual. Alan Greenspan
Bitcoin’s value is the same: It will remain as long as it is the most efficient mechanism for transferring ownership. Fred Ehrsam
BitCoin is actually an exploit against network complexity. Not financial networks, or computer networks, or social networks. Networks themselves. Dan Kaminsky

Bitcoin is one of the most viral concepts I’ve ever encountered. Barry Silbert
After two years working with bitcoin and blockchain companies and corporate leaders, we identified that a significant issue hindering the widespread, global adoption of blockchain is the inability to quickly connect with the right combination of partners for testing and deployment of the technology to address real-world business challenges.

A new product, technology, or innovation – such as Bitcoin – has the potential to give rise both to frauds and high-risk investment opportunities.

Perianne Boring
Activists need to educate themselves about the power of crypto currencies like Bitcoin, invented in 2009, and use crypto to leverage the success of their independent media gains to tip the balance of power away from the troika in ways that could never happen by backing a political candidate.

Well, bitcoin is a currency. Bitcoin has no underlying rate of return. You know, bonds have an interest coupon. Stocks have earnings and dividends. Gold has nothing, and bitcoin has nothing.

Bitcoin woke us all up to a new way to pay, and culturally, I think a much larger percentage of us have become accustomed to the idea that money no longer comes with the friction it once had. John Battelle
Bitcoin is very ideologically fulfilling, it’s my form of political activism, but it’s also a huge business opportunity. Erik Voorhees
Bitcoin is successful only because of its potential for circumvention, lack of oversight. Joseph Stiglitz

Bitcoin is a peer-to-peer, decentralized form of money, as durable as the Internet itself. Remember, the Internet – or DARPA, as it was originally called – was created as a fail-safe, global network with no ‘single point of failure.’ If one part goes down, data takes another route, and nothing is lost. Max Keiser
It is one thing to think gold has some marvelous store of value because man has no way of inventing more gold or getting it very easily, so it has the advantage of rarity. Believe me, man is capable of somehow creating more bitcoin… They tell you there are rules and they can’t do it. Don’t believe them. Charlie Munger
Bitcoin is both disruptive from a technology perspective, but there’s a tremendous power of social good behind it. So you can both build a cool business or have a great investment return, and there’s the promise of potentially improving the remittance industry or banking the unbanked. Cameron Winklevoss
In 2017, people have realized there isn’t going to be one crypto to rule them all. You’re seeing vertical solutions where XRP is focused on payment problems, Ethereum is focused on smart contracts, and increasingly, bitcoin is a store of value. Those aren’t competitive. In fact, I want bitcoin and Ethereum to be successful. Brad Garlinghouse
Some bitcoin users see the hard fork as in some ways violating their most fundamental values. I personally think these fundamental values, pushed to such extremes, are silly. Vitalik Buterin
In the aftermath of the oh-so-predictable crash, the Bitcoin fanatics have begun marshaling out excuse after excuse for why this non-investment investment lost so much of its value so fast. One was that hackers attacked some of the exchanges for Bitcoins and crippled it. Really? A hacker can wreck an entire market? Kurt Eichenwald
Bitcoin is amazingly transformative because it’s the first time in the entire history of the world in which anybody can now send or receive any amount of money, with anyone else, anywhere on the planet, without having to ask permission from any bank or government. Roger Ver

I think Bitcoin really feels empowering in a sense. Vitalik Buterin

Bitcoin is not an actual physical coin, and if computers are shut down, you can’t buy or sell them. That’s why nothing will ever replace gold and silver coins themselves, and all investors should have them at home or in a safe deposit box. Mark Skousen
Bitcoin is mostly about anonymous transactions, and I don’t think over time that’s a good way to go. I’m a huge believe in digital currency… but doing it on an anonymous basis I think that leads to some abuses, so I’m not involved in Bitcoin. Bill Gates
Something like bitcoin is really important because it is not correlated to the rest of the market. Chamath Palihapitiya
Who would want one’s children growing up buying things like bitcoin? I hope to God my family doesn’t buy it. It’s noxious poison. Charlie Munger

All lawfully operating digital currency exchanges would thereafter refuse to exchange bitcoin for ransomware victims for fear of criminal culpability. Perianne Boring
As people want to move money around the world, they’re going to be moving in and out of bitcoin quickly, but they’re still going to own it for some period of time… and the size of that working capital requirement will grow as the global economy grows. Barry Silbert

I’m motivated by the positive ways in which Bitcoin use being widespread will make the world a better place. Roger Ver
When you drill down, blockchains are really a shared version of reality everyone agrees on. So whether it’s a fully immersive VR experience, augmented reality, or even Bitcoin or Ethereum in the physical world as a shared ledger for our ‘real world,’ we’ll increasingly trust blockchains as our basis for reality. Fred Ehrsam
In our early experiences with bitcoin, we found how few people were building bitcoin exchanges the right way. They really weren’t taking the regulation seriously; they were taking it too much like how you would approach something when you’re 18, full of the excitement of youth and throwing caution to the wind. Tyler Winklevoss
For the first time in 6,000 years of human history, we can have peer-to-peer exchange where trust is not a problem anymore. And it’s through the technology that underlies bitcoin. It’s called the block chain. Patrick M. Byrne

If you use a bad password, your Bitcoin will get stolen. Naval Ravikant
You have to really stretch your imagination to infer what the intrinsic value of Bitcoin is. I haven’t been able to do it. Maybe somebody else can. Alan Greenspan

To shut down Bitcoin is to shut down the Internet. Tyler Winklevoss
Once people see Bitcoin and how it works, they realise this isn’t just a flash in the pan. Roger Ver
