If you take the MY out of money, you're left with ONE.

I call the blockchain 'the Internet of value' and 'the Internet of trust.' Because everything becomes trustless. It's a big distributed ledger. Think of it like an Excel file that's being maintained and updated and managed by millions of computers around the world.

The Internet wasn't useful until some basic infrastructure was built.

I'm pretty much working 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

I believe everyone is capable of just about anything if you commit yourself to it.

The bitcoin/blockchain protocol has never been compromised. Businesses building applications on top of it run the risk of making mistakes.

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

Blockchain Capital has a global investment mandate so it is very possible that we make an investment in India at some point.

Historically venture capital funds have only allowed elite investors in.

Before Blockchain Capital, I was cranking out startups like an incubator.

Blockchain Capital was the first dedicated venture fund to invest in crypto and blockchain.

A billionaire is someone who can positively impact a billion lives.

I care about how many people's lives I've positively impacted. That's the unit of measurement I measure myself by.

When the Internet first launched, you had all these newspapers saying that the Internet was only used by bad people, to do bad things and what was the point of it. But the Internet changed everything, just like Bitcoin will.

I am really surprised bitcoin isn't more popular in India, given the strong gold culture here. I call it Gold 2.0. It has all the attributes other than the fact that it isn't tangible, and tangibility is less important in the digital age.

Most people heard about Bitcoin for the first time in the context of the Mt. Gox collapse. It is our Lehman Brothers.

What happened at Mt. Gox is not an isolated incident. This is a plague that continues to play like a bad broken record. As long as this continues to happen, how are we ever going to instill confidence in this industry? How are we better than the old financial system?

The real problem with Puerto Rico is that it keeps losing its best and brightest. It keeps losing its leaders and its future leaders due to a lack of opportunity.

A unicorn is a community that's positively impacted the lives of a billion people.

I'm here on this planet to live in service to humanity.

The only way to fix Puerto Rico is with brain game, to bring the intellectual and human capital there - in a way that it's done with the right intention.

When you have to start over from scratch, you can do it very differently than if you have this big thing that's kinda been building on top of itself for ages and ages.

I guess one of the main things you realize when you work as an entrepreneur is that it's long days, long hours.

When you start working as an Internet entrepreneur, the world is moving at a million miles an hour and is changing rapidly.

It's often lost in most Silicon Valley startups, the importance of storytelling when most people are thinking about they assemble their team and the critical functions that the team needs to be successful. Storytelling is normally not on the list.

I built a supply chain of 400,000 people in China to play games professionally to mine digital currency.

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.

It is possible that Bitcoin will fork at some point. The question is whether or not it'll be a contentious fork. This process is a good thing in the long term, though potentially disruptive in the short term.

Casino games are the one kind of content that has stood the test of time for decades.

VCs invest in innovation and disruption, but how often do they innovate themselves?

The VC industry has benefited greatly from technology and the Internet, so I see how the VC industry is going to get disintermediated, decentralized, disrupted, so I can sit around and wait for someone to disrupt ourselves, or we can choose to disrupt or cannibalize ourselves.

Security tokens are going to give birth to a quadrillion dollar market. This is because we will see the tokenization of the world's fiat money, debt market, real estate, equities, and art.

If you think about it, it requires a lot of effort and time and energy to make money in the real world, and if they made games equally as difficult to make money in, people wouldn't play them. So they are generally designed to be hyper-inflationary because that's more fun.

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.

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.

We're going to rebuild Puerto Rico with money that we saved from the IRS in a Robin Hood fashion.

We're here to take our skills - our superpowers - and figure out how to help Puerto Rico, the Earth and the people.

The right way to think about the blockchain is that it's going to replace the entire Internet.

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.

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.

Entrepreneurism is simply taking nothing, applying talent, brains, financial creativity and hustle, and turning that into something.

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.

Startups were thriving in Los Angeles when Bill Hewlett and Dave Packard were closer to the nursery than they were the garage.

I realized I was a gamer when I didn't sleep three consecutive nights playing EverQuest, which was a popular MMORPG sold at retail.

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.

As a gamer I know that my least favorite ad types are offer walls.

Facebook has revolutionized social games, as friends can see your points, achievements and in game events.

Steve Bannon was my right-hand man. He didn't like me to say it, but he was on my payroll.

I only help the superheroes, I don't help the villains.

I don't care about money. If I need money, I just make a token.
