PHILOSOPHY

The most important thing is... well, actually there are many important things.

Bitcoin is a swarm of cyber hornets serving the goddess of wisdom, feeding on the fire of truth, and growing more powerful as it devours heat.

I would rather Ethereum die than see it become something that sacrifices its values.

Cypherpunks write code. The rest write manifestos.

Investing is not about being smarter than everyone else. It is about having a framework and sticking to it when it is uncomfortable.

Bitcoin is not an investment. It is the exit.

Bitcoin is a peaceful revolution. It does not need armies. It only needs truth.

Central banking is the root of most societal evil. It is the legalized counterfeiting of money.

Sound money is the foundation of civilization. Without it, everything else is rented.

Desire is a contract you make with yourself to be unhappy until you get what you want.

Bitcoin is the exit. Not just from the dollar but from the entire system that controls it.

There are two kinds of money: Happy Money and Unhappy Money. The difference is entirely in how you feel about it.

Money is like water. It flows. If you try to hold onto it too tightly, it slips through your fingers.

The pursuit of wealth without happiness is the most expensive mistake a person can make.

Financial planning without lifestyle planning is just math without meaning.

The goal of money is freedom. If your financial plan doesn't increase your freedom, it's the wrong plan.

Every piece of software we build is an opinion about how people should work.

If you are not happy, even if you have everything — the big house, the nice car — it doesn't matter. Delivering happiness is the most important thing.

We want to make software that feels like a craft, not a factory.

Gradatim Ferociter. Step by step, ferociously. Slow is smooth, and smooth is fast.

I don't want to live on Mars. I want to live on Earth. But I want the option of visiting a million-person colony on Mars.

A thousand true fans is all you need. You don't need millions of followers. You need a thousand people willing to pay $10 a month.

Democracies need to be able to out-analyze their adversaries. If we don't build these tools, someone with fewer ethical constraints will.

Compliance shouldn't be an annual fire drill. It should be a continuous process running in the background while you focus on building your product.

Every SaaS company thinks they need to be the best at one thing. We think integration IS the thing. Good enough across ten categories beats best-in-class in one.
