Quotes:

“From the real estate operator’s point of view, the biggest downfall in owning real estate is the sheer lack of liquidity. You own a property, you can't sell it that afternoon. And you will have to go through a process to get equity out of it. And so I thought, well, what if you could access capital more quickly?”

“I believe that the democratization of investments is critical to allow everyday ordinary folks to participate in the technology economy”.

“There are also questions around the long-term security of Bitcoin and you'll have to have me back one day where we can talk about what’s under the hood of Bitcoin and I can share a lot of the scary details around that, but also some hopeful things that that can be done”.

“If you're truly buying a cup of coffee today with Bitcoin, you'll be paying more in transaction fees than you'd be paying for your coffee”.
