  quotebrianforde: >
    Digital currencies have immense potential to improve human welfare
    by strengthening the capacity of governments to deliver more
    responsive services and secure the rights of their citizens to
    property, identity and increased financial inclusion.

  quoteandyskelton: "PayPal alone blocks access from over 60 countries ... Whatever the reason, we don’t think an individual blogger from Haiti, Ethiopia, or Kenya should have diminished access to the blogosphere because of payment issues they can’t control."
  quotetuurdemeester: "The Babyboomers gave us the personal computer, Generation X gave us the Internet, and now Generation Y is building a new financial paradigm."
  quoterichardbrown: "Had you asked me five years ago, I would just say it was impossible. Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies solved this problem of coming to a consensus globally where you don't trust anybody else."
  quotefredwilson: "We believe that Bitcoin represents something fundamental and powerful ... It reminds us of SMTP, HTTP, RSS, and BitTorrent in its architecture and openness."
  quotejohndonohoe: "[Digital currency is going to be] a very powerful thing."
  quotefrancoisrvelde: "It represents a remarkable conceptual and technical achievement, which may well be used by existing financial institutions (which could issue their own bitcoins) or even by governments themselves."
