15 more quotes about the potential of blockchain and cryptocurrency to change the world
In a previous blog post, I shared fifteen of my favourite quotes that help capture the amazing potential of blockchain and cryptocurrency to change the world. I find quotes consistently inspiring as they demonstrate the diversity of leaders in the space, and the multitude of use cases of this technology.
So, I decided to do a part two and share fifteen more quotes that I feel do a great job of highlighting the many ways that blockchain and cryptocurrency can, and will, change the world for the better.
1. “The emergence of open Internet protocols for value exchange, today led by the global adoption of Bitcoin's blockchain, paves the way for value to move as freely as information and data move on the Internet today.”
2. “10y ago I thought that the market of resources, property rights, trade, etc are the most important processes in the world. Today I think much more about the ecosystem of discussion and spread of memes / culture / ideas. The latter follows quite different laws from the former!”
Vitalik Buterin, Founder, Ethereum
3. “Almost any illiquid asset today lends itself well to moving onto the blockchain and becoming tokenized. It will create a deeper market with improved price discovery and should increase the value of those assets.”
David Sacks, General Partner, Craft Ventures, Former COO, PayPal
4. “The power and advantages of decentralization are becoming increasingly clear. We deserve a financial system where no one can be censored or excluded from full participation.”
Silvio Micali, Founder, Algorand
5. “DeFi has the potential to create equal opportunity through peer-to-peer networks. It's one of the greatest advantages it offers.”
Jordan Kruger, CEO and Co-Founder, Vesper Finance
6. “Blockchain should be used to address opportunities and problems that lack easier answers.”
7. “Cryptographic truth is a superior way for the entire world to operate. Once you experience the transparency, personal control and lower risks of a world powered by truth, rather than a world backed only by "just trust us" ideas, you simply cannot go back.”
Sergey Nazarov, Founder, Chainlink
8. “I always tell people that artists’ popularity is completely dependent on the fans and the listeners, not the companies and the distributors. If the fans like the music, they share it, they go to the shows, they're fully responsible for augmenting an artist’s popularity. So why shouldn't those participants achieve upside for believing in someone early?”
3LAU, DJ and Founder of Blockchain Music Investment Company Royal

10. “As revolutionary as it sounds, Blockchain truly is a mechanism to bring everyone to the highest degree of accountability. No more missed transactions, human or machine errors, or even an exchange that was not done with the consent of the parties involved. Above anything else, the most critical area where Blockchain helps is to guarantee the validity of a transaction by recording it not only on a main register but a connected distributed system of registers, all of which are connected through a secure validation mechanism.”
Ian Khan, Tech Futurist, Forbes and CNN Contributor
11. “Cardano is an open platform that seeks to provide economic identity to the billions who lack it by providing decentralized applications to manage identity, value and governance.”
12. “We see bitcoin as potentially the greatest social network of all.”
Tyler Winklevoss, Founder, Gemini Cryptocurrency Exchange
13. “For merchants, it is an amazing opportunity. Compared to Paypal, crypto has no credit card fees, no charge backs, no 'Oops, we decided to hold your cash for 3-12 months while we investigate something we can't disclose.'”
Gil Penchina. Former CEO, Wikia Inc.
14. “The token market will be larger than the securities market, because in some way it will absorb the securities market. All the securities can be tokenised today. The beauty of the token is that you can represent anything, and not only securities, and that is what will drive at first the growth of the token.”
Etienne Deniau, Head of Business Strategy, Société Générale Securities Services
15. “[Blockchain] is the biggest opportunity set we can think of over the next decade or so.”
