1. "Blockchain is a delaying mechanism for our society as well as our economy. You could delay all the middlemen we have had for over 5,000 years and allow you and me to transact with one another. We could eliminate third parties as large as Amazon and Facebook."
2. "The hedge fund managers have begun to move. They have decided they are no longer machetes but Swiss Army knives and need to adapt to the new world.
3. "I am not a blockchain or bitcoin evangelist. I am a blockchain investor and understander. I don't believe Jesus and Moses were able to get together and have a child. They named it Bitcoin. This is what I believe will move the world forward. You can only understand this once you are a part of it.
4. "We are so early. To make a sports analogy, we are not yet through spring training. We don't have catchers or pitchers yet. This is a sign that the blockchain story is just beginning.
5. "Warren Buffett appears and slams Jeff Bezos. He claims that Amazon has a greater market capitalization than Sears Roebuck. This company has real stores, real activity and is losing money. I don't understand it. This thing is too big for me. What do you think I did? It was too far away for me to touch. This is a recounting of the Sun Valley conference, 1999, where Buffett and Bezos spoke to discuss why they are so determined to get bitcoin.
6. "I'm not going to be a fuddy duddy and miss the seismic changes that are happening on Earth right now. FUD stands for fear uncertainty and doubt.
7. "The mid-1990s Buffett would have said, "I'm not trading Michael Jordan to get four scrubs and calling that diversification." He explains why bitcoin isn't being thrown out after its growth from 4% to 20 percent in one of his portfolios.
8. "I am all about unjust outcomes. If you want to make Amazon and other public goods, then launch your rocket into space. Mazel tov, God Bless You. God bless these people. I wish there were 10 more Jeff Bezoses and 20 more Elon Musks. Scaramucci is for equality of opportunity and not outcomes.
9. "Elon Musk has visionary qualities. Take a look at what Elon Musk is doing and where he's headed. Then think about SpaceX, the global satellite distribution system he's creating. This is going be revolutionary. Before the decade ends, you'll have 5G internet speeds on Mount Everest.
10. Coinbase has blown me away. You can't help but want a bit of COIN. This video highlights the brand, scale, growth and management team of the crypto exchange.
11. "Elizabeth Warren could, despite her intelligence, be the least educated person in the US Senate. There is a system in place that could help millions of people who are underbanked. It's not something you should be railing against, but it is there. You can enjoy all the progressivism properties it has. - criticizing Senator for drumming on Crypto Regulation.
12. "Our generation is throwing a frat party with our environment. Our great-grandchildren and grandchildren will be able to stay in the frat house when the bong water has been spilled onto the floor, there is a strong smell of beer and there is a bit of vomit in their living rooms. The place is being cooked.
13. "My majority partners in my life are Bill de Blasio and Kathy Hochul. They take 53% of my money. In my own life, I am the minority partner. Are you not convinced that I should participate in hiring decisions? - Insisting people to vote for those they believe will spend their tax dollars.
14. "When I was bounced from White House, people wanted me to be very upset and down on myself. They wanted me to get up every morning and kick myself in my pants. No matter if you're going through a divorce or didn't do well at school or were fired from your job, it doesn't matter. Enjoy your life. This is the most important thing.
