I've always wanted to invest. That's why I started working on Wall Street in the first place, back in 1986 when I went through the Salomon Brothers training program.

One of the greatest investments of our lifetime has been New York City real estate, and investors made the highest returns when they bought stuff during the 1970s and 1980s when people were getting mugged. The lesson is that you make the most money when you buy stuff that's out of consensus.

I love data. I think it's very important to get it right, and I think it's good to question it.

The idea of the U.S. as a corporation is more than a thought experiment. It's a way to reposition our approach to long-term problems. What would U.S.A. Inc. be worth? Who would want to buy its shares?

This is unproven technology, and if you don't know what you're doing, you shouldn't interact with tokens - from an investor and security perspective.

I personally run my social media, so I read all the messages. I get amazing messages. I try to respond as much as possible. Slow, but steady.

I believe Facebook is going all the way. They're going to reach a billion members and will be the biggest company in the world. It will be a platform everyone goes on the Internet through.

I think social media is so important; the young bands have certainly embraced that and used that to their advantage.
