Every smart person that I admire in the world, and those I semi-fear, is focused on this concept of crypto for a reason. They understand that this is the driving force of the fourth industrial revolution: steam engine, electricity, then the microchip - blockchain and crypto is the fourth.
Quote by -Brock Pierce
Once you reinvent yourself three, four, five times, you eventually just realize you can do this infinitely, with whatever time you have.
Quote by -Brock Pierce
I'm normally running three to 10 meetings at a time. I just pile them all up. I have no schedule and everybody just kind of meets at the same time. It sometimes makes people who are really important in their minds very uncomfortable because they're used to getting an automatic three hours alone.
Quote by -Brock Pierce
I'm sorry, but I don't want to be an emperor. That's not my business. I don't want to rule or conquer anyone. I should like to help everyone.
Quote by -Brock Pierce
From an architecture perspective, Mt. Gox is not an isolated incident. We've had exchanges continually hacked after Mt. Gox. This has been an ongoing problem that has continued to plague our industry.
Quote by -Brock Pierce
I've been an entrepreneur and venture capitalist in the cryptocurrency industry for a long time, working with numerous projects.
Quote by -Brock Pierce
The Internet didn't become usable until Netscape because that gave the average person a user interface that was intuitive, simple, friendly - this made it accessible.
Quote by -Brock Pierce
No one will use the new Internet if it's slow, costs money and doesn't scale.
Quote by -Brock Pierce
Has the Internet changed our lives? Have mobile phones changed our lives? The blockchain is something that is that transformative.
Quote by -Brock Pierce
I obviously have been very involved in creating a number of tokens going all the way back to Mastercoin.
Quote by -Brock Pierce
Puerto Ricans are so well educated, they're so capable, they're so competent, but due to a lack of opportunity, when you graduate from college, you leave. Puerto Rico's number one export is human beings; Puerto Ricans!
Quote by -Brock Pierce
A lot of what I see in blockchain promises to get us as an industry from A to Z. As an investor and entrepreneur, I am constantly on the lookout for how we get from A to B.
Quote by -Brock Pierce
I am excited to join the Bancor advisory board and provide guidance and insight to such an innovative team and protocol.
Quote by -Brock Pierce
Two-thirds of the world's population is unbanked or underbanked. Imagine if you had all your bank accounts shut down today, if you had all your credit cards shut off today, Paypal, Venmo, etc. What would life be like? And that's a problem that most of the world faces if you're in Latin America, Africa or South East Asia.
Quote by -Brock Pierce
My name is Brock and it also means 'broke.' I'm going for broke - I intend to give everything away of everything I have over time.
Quote by -Brock Pierce
Most people are playing the game of compounding interest, which is self interest - how do they take care of themselves and produce more for themselves, storing value for their own benefit. I play a different game. A game I call 'compounding impact.' How do you make a positive impact in the world?
Quote by -Brock Pierce
I played 'Mortal Kombat' competitively in arcades. Played for money at 10, hustling the 20-year-olds. Five bucks on whoever wins. Which, at 10 years old, is real money.

Steve Bannon was my right-hand man. He didn't like me to say it, but he was on my payroll.
Quote by -Brock Pierce
Facebook has revolutionized social games, as friends can see your points, achievements and in game events.
Quote by -Brock Pierce
As our culture redefines being a gamer, brand partners explore and wait eagerly on a new set of tools to better engage their potential clients.
Quote by -Brock Pierce
I realized I was a gamer when I didn't sleep three consecutive nights playing EverQuest, which was a popular MMORPG sold at retail.
Quote by -Brock Pierce
Startups were thriving in Los Angeles when Bill Hewlett and Dave Packard were closer to the nursery than they were the garage.
Quote by -Brock Pierce
It's not a coincidence these two industry areas - Silicon Valley and Hollywood - use the same jargon. They share a common language, the language of the creator, of the entrepreneur.
Quote by -Brock Pierce
Entrepreneurism is simply taking nothing, applying talent, brains, financial creativity and hustle, and turning that into something.
Quote by -Brock Pierce
Los Angeles has always been one of America's most entrepreneurial cities, but it is hard to recognize this because of how hardwired, literally, 'entpreneurism' has become.
Quote by -Brock Pierce
Steve Bannon was my right-hand man for, like, seven years. He's a hammer. And when you're a hammer, everything looks like a nail. He's very sure and very smart. Very driven, very patriotic. He's not most of the things that people say.
Quote by -Brock Pierce
The right way to think about the blockchain is that it's going to replace the entire Internet.
Quote by -Brock Pierce
We're here to take our skills - our superpowers - and figure out how to help Puerto Rico, the Earth and the people.
Quote by -Brock Pierce
We're going to rebuild Puerto Rico with money that we saved from the IRS in a Robin Hood fashion.
Quote by -Brock Pierce
AngelList Syndicates are perfectly aligned with Bitcoin's ideology. They democratize the system so everyone has access to high value dealflow; it's the power of the people.
Quote by -Brock Pierce
Being able to borrow against one's crypto assets gives one options, when wanting to purchase a property, and aligns with my philosophy that real estate and tokenization will be a quadrillion dollar market.
