Quotes

On why SatoshiTango sells bitcoins through pre-paid cards:

We believe that if people are familiar with prepaid cards, why not use these? People are very happy because they understand when they buy a prepaid card, the card is ready to buy bitcoin, and the exact amount they have in their hands is what they can buy.

On Bitcoin’s future:

Bitcoin is going to change everything we know about money, value and the financial system. You don’t need to understand the way it works. My grandmother uses Facebook and she knows nothing about TCP/IP. But know this: you will be using bitcoin in the future without even knowing. Bitcoin is a game changer.
