Bitcoin will experience many bubbles along its way to improving the lives of everyone on the planet. I'm not concerned with the short-term price fluctuations.

Bitcoin is coming from a bunch of young computer nerds who saw this thing and thought it was neat. A lot of the early bitcoiners are 19-year-old kids, still living at home with their parents, and they don't have any business experience.

If the U.S. government tries to restrict or clamp down, that just means there will be many more bitcoin businesses in Hong Kong and Singapore, and all those Americans will miss out on all the opportunities.

Gox is the worst-run business in the history of the world.

If it is something particularly useful and for some reason is having trouble getting funding from traditional sources, I may be interested.

I am tired of seeing real criminals, with lots of victims being ignored, while traditional law enforcement is busy going after perpetrators of victimless crimes such as those involved in the Silk Road Marketplace.

I'm motivated by the positive ways in which Bitcoin use being widespread will make the world a better place.

I don't have much faith... in the government police.

If bitcoin is more expensive or slower than traditional financial systems, people aren't going to use it.

The beauty of the free market is that everyone gets what they want. With governmentally imposed systems, it is always one size fits all.

Voluntaryism is the idea that all human interactions should be free of coercion, based on individual self-ownership. This is in contrast to socialism, which is based on coercion justified by collective ownership.

I like to call myself a voluntaryist. That means that I think that all human interaction should be on a voluntary basis. And that nobody should be able to use force or fraud in any human interaction whatsoever.
