I have a lot of people who want to work for me.
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.
My first memory is of being on the set of a commercial when I was 3.
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?
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.
I think every stock in the world is going to end up being a security token.
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.
I've been very blessed in my life.
I did commit to giving my first billion away.
I am excited to join the Bancor advisory board and provide guidance and insight to such an innovative team and protocol.
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.
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!
I obviously have been very involved in creating a number of tokens going all the way back to Mastercoin.
I care a great deal about what happens to Bitcoin.
I care a great deal about humanity! I care. I really care.
Has the Internet changed our lives? Have mobile phones changed our lives? The blockchain is something that is that transformative.
No one will use the new Internet if it's slow, costs money and doesn't scale.
The earliest adopters at scale of crypto were gamers.
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.
I've been an entrepreneur and venture capitalist in the cryptocurrency industry for a long time, working with numerous projects.
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.
I'm going to keep innovating.
I live life like it's a role-playing game.
I continually reinvent myself. It keeps things interesting.
I don't need to amass a ton of wealth for myself.
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.
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.
Once you reinvent yourself three, four, five times, you eventually just realize you can do this infinitely, with whatever time you have.
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.
Anyone who knows me knows I'm an open book.
