“Everything we do has an environmental cost. Bitcoin has a net benefit”- Adrian Grenier

“You’re going to see the adoption rate increase exponentially over time, but you’re also seeing bitcoin as future dollars, as opposed to bitcoin. Where we need to get to philosophically is that it’s not going to eventually become dollars, it’s just going to be bitcoin.”

“The mainstream sentiment is that bitcoin is about making money...and sure that that does happen, but really, what is at the heart of bitcoin is an ethos and a philosophy around decentralizing our ability to connect with one another in various ways, exchange value, and be owners and have more sovereignty in the world’s wealth, taking it out of the hands of the gatekeepers and the centralized banks.”

“Everything that we do has an environmental cost. There are externalities to absolutely everything. And just because something has an externality does not mean that it’s a net detriment. I think that bitcoin has a net benefit.”

This. Guy. Fucks.
