I want them poor and they deserve to be poor. You can't have capitalism without punishment.

You need a story to displace a story.

Don't disturb complicated systems that have been around for a very long time. We don't understand their logic. Don't pollute the planet. Leave it the way we found it, regardless of scientific 'evidence'.

You make up reasons, but it's probably just smell. I love the smell of candles. It's an aesthetic thing.

Bitcoin is the beginning of something great: a currency without a government, something necessary and imperative.
