“I think the answer for me is that I’ve made friends with other founders and CEOs.”
02 / belief
“One thing I think is that, as crypto keeps getting bigger and bigger, there’s going to be more and more scrutiny and attention on us from a government relations–policy point of view.”
03 / belief
“I think if you needed to go through all of the overhead to open an account to store stablecoins, then it would lose a lot of the value.”
04 / belief
“What’s my greatest interpersonal skill? I think I’ve done a pretty good job of hiring good people.”
05 / belief
“The thing that they’re not contemplating, I think, is that there’s such great variety in human preferences, and people have a desire for uniqueness too.”
06 / belief
“I wouldn’t presume to look back 30 years, but I would say just in the last 10 years or so in Silicon Valley, it does feel like there’s more focus on activism at companies, and so, that was a change that I was noticing.”
07 / belief
“Look, I think of bitcoin as being like digital gold, so it may turn out that it’s not going to be the medium of exchange unless those layer 2 solutions start to really work.”
08 / belief
“The US government had a pretty negative reaction to it, I think, because it was Facebook.”
09 / belief
“I don’t think there’s anybody who’s sitting around saying, “God, I wish I could make more microtransactions,” I agree with that, but I think whenever you give developers and entrepreneurs new tools, they tend to create new apps, and they try to take advantage of that medium and do something new.”
10 / belief
“I think your point is when the new bitcoins being issued per block starts to decline, transaction fees are how the miners were going to get paid.”
11 / belief
“One thought I’ve had, though, is that if there are more people who generate a lot of wealth with crypto — which I think is already happening, and it will probably keep happening.”
12 / belief
“Again, I would say that’s probably a cultural thing that came from the very early days of Coinbase, and we’ve had to reinforce it and persist at every opportunity that we’ve gotten.”
13 / belief
“I think one of the biggest obstacles, of course, is that all the land is claimed by a sovereign, so it’s hard to get one that’s truly independent of the legal system around it, although I know there are people trying that.”
14 / belief
“I think, longer term, the more interesting thing are those decentralized crypto assets for people to really start to participate in a more global, more free, more fair economy.”
15 / belief
“Underrated, I think. You’re asking because I went to school there at Rice [University].”
16 / belief
“I think you have to care about them and care about their growth and give them clear direction, but also autonomy and accountability and all those things.”
17 / belief
“I think, now, about probably 10 percent of Americans and maybe 60 or 70 million people globally have crypto, at least.”
18 / belief
“People come up with all these ideas. But I think the simple answer there is, there’s probably not really a true intrinsic value to bitcoin.”
19 / belief
“In our case, my view is that the mission, which was to create an open financial system for the world — that might involve interacting with governments in the sense of if we need to go lobby for cryptocurrency policy or something like that, but it didn’t involve necessarily trying to solve every problem out there in the world.”
