“It wasn't hard to adapt to the crypto sector, because we already had such big potential. After that, of course, came the Turkish lira, and the economic situation we have today, which is getting worse and worse, and people are trying to find a reliable financial instrument for their savings.”

“In the past it was dollarization, meaning in order to avoid fluctuations in their currency people kept their assets in dollars. Now the recent trend is being called cryptolization.”

“Chinese miners got rid of their machines and the price collapsed by 30 percent. Bitcoin is the gold of the digital world. But a mining rig is like gold mining stocks: you're paid dividends according to the gold price.”

“New York is a great city. But Miami was an easy choice for us. It's the gateway to Latin America. It's on the East Coast time zone. And more importantly, it's probably the most excited city in the world about crypto right now.”

“The Caribbean has a huge potential to become a very good place for entrepreneurship, and also be the next Singapore. The reason is, Caribbean states are very close to the United States, which I think is very important. But also it is important you are not in the United States. If you are in the United States, you are going to fall into a lot of very strict regulation, and also taxation. In the U.S., the regulatory environment is not good to cryptocurrency.”

“There's a component of it that's sensitive to Bitcoin price but in theory, the difficulty adjustment should allow miners to make money regardless of what the Bitcoin price is. However, if Bitcoin does 'do its thing' and rises to the upside, then the bond's appeal will rise manifold. Those bonds are going to trade on the open market at a much higher rate than six and a half percent. They'll trade at a lower yield at a higher price because the six and a half will be extremely attractive so people will bid up the price of those bonds and the yield conversely will decline.”

“He [Nayib Bukele] made the announcement at a huge party on the beach. Funding for the mammoth undertaking to start in 2022 is to be raised through the sale of a sovereign Bitcoin bond to the tune of $1 billion the hottest investment in the cryptosphere at present. At the moment, there are many 'Bitcoiners' having both the resources and the willingness to invest.”

“Invest here and make all the money you want. This is a fully ecological city that works and is energized by a volcano. If you want bitcoin to spread over the world, we should build some Alexandrias.”

“We think the best approach is not to clamp down or ban these things. With crypto-based activities, it is basically an investment in a prospective future, the shape of which is not clear at this point. But not to get into this game, I think risks Singapore being left behind. Getting early into that game means we can have a head start, and better understand its potential benefits as well as its risks. If and when a crypto economy takes off in a way, we want to be one of the leading players. It could help create jobs, create value-add, and I think more than the financial sector, the other sectors of the economy will potentially gain.”

“There are a number of reasons why central banks around the world are looking seriously at CBDC [central bank digital currency], including data capture and economic privacy, financial system modernisation, financial inclusion, precision in execution of government benefits and monetary policy. Geopolitical concerns, competition of stablecoins [like Diem] with bank payment systems and leadership in setting standards for global digital currency interoperability [are motivating the US in researching solutions for minting digital money]. The private sector has been exploring the opportunities of digital assets like Bitcoin for over a decade and now the public sector is trying to catch up.”

“It's not really the mining issue that is the problem. They say they're doing this as part of an effort to control risk-taking in their markets, but it's really a signal that China is not going to be a big market for cryptos unless it's a PBOC-controlled [People's Bank of China] one.”

“I think we will see an acceleration of companies looking to allocate to Bitcoin now that Tesla has made the first move. One of the largest companies in the world now owns Bitcoin and by extension, every investor that owns Tesla (or even just an S&P 500 fund) has exposure to it as well.”
