It is a very modern notion that exploits the power of the long tail.” – Hal Finney

“When I first heard about Bitcoin, I thought it was impossible. How can you have a purely digital currency? Can’t I just copy your hard drive and have your bitcoins?
I didn’t understand how that could be done, and then I looked into it and it was brilliant” – Jeff Garzik
“As the value goes up, heads start to swivel and skeptics begin to soften. Starting a new currency is easy, anyone can do it.
The trick is getting people to accept it, because it is their use that gives the “money” value.” – Adam B. Levine
“Bitcoin is the currency of resistance.” – Max Keiser
“Bitcoin, and the ideas behind it, will be a disrupter to the traditional notions of currency. In the end, currency will be better for it.” – Edmund C. Moy
“I love seeing new services constantly starting to accept Bitcoin. Bitcoin is really becoming “the currency of the Internet.” I’m most concerned by possible government

“Bitcoin will do to banks what email did to the postal industry” – Rick Falkvinge, Founder of the Swedish pirate party

“The governments of the world have spent hundreds and hundreds of trillions of dollars bailing out a decaying, dickensian, outmoded system called banking, when the solution to
the future of finance is peer-to-peer. It’s going to be alternative currencies like bitcoin and it’s not actually going to be a banking system as we had before 2008.” – Patrick Young
“Instant transactions, no waiting for checks to clear, no chargebacks (merchants will like this), no account freezes (look out Paypal), no international wire transfer fee, no fees of
any kind, no minimum balance, no maximum balance, worldwide access, always open, no waiting for business hours to make transactions, no waiting for an account
to be approved before transacting, open an account in a few seconds, as easy as email, no bank account needed, extremely poor people can use it, extremely wealthy people
can use it, no printing press, no hyper-inflation, no debt limit votes, no bank bailouts, completely voluntary. This sounds like the best payment system in the world!” – Trace Mayer J.D.
“Money is a collective agreement. If enough people come to the same agreement, what they agree upon becomes secondary, whether it be farm animals, gold, diamonds, paper,
or simply a code. History proves all these cases to be true. Who knows what the future is going suggest to us as money, once we see digital currencies as ordinary?” – S.E. Sever
In a joint statement, the French and German governments affirmed that “no private entity can claim monetary power, which is inherent to the sovereignty of nations”
The generation of random numbers is too important to be left to chance.
