“Bitcoin and the internet's adoption is very similar. I'm seeing almost identical in terms of growth and adoption. You go through, in adoption of any new technology, you go through dismissal, ridicule, attack, accept, adopt. And we're somewhere between accept and adopt now on Bitcoin. But we’ve gone through the whole gamut with Bitcoin.

You have to understand, in the mid-90s, most people said the internet would never work. ‘The internet’s only ever used by criminals and pornographers.’ Genuinely, the internet had that. And I was deep in the internet — building websites, hosting websites — and everybody thought the internet was only that. Now, is that a familiar message with Bitcoin? You see the same message with Bitcoin.”
