Andre Cronje	Independent DeFi developer and founder of Yearn.finance
Andre Cronje	When it stops being fun, I stop doing it.
Andreas Antonopoulos	Bitcoin offers one service: securely time-stamped, scripted transactions. Everything else is built on the edge-devices as an application. Bitcoin allows any application to be developed independently, without permission, on the edge of the network.
Andreas Antonopoulos	Gradually, decentralized trust will be accepted as a new and effective trust model. We have seen this evolution of understanding before – on the Internet.
Andreas Antonopoulos	What happens when an industry transitions from using one or more ‘smart’ and centralized networks to using a common, decentralized, open, and dumb network? A tsunami of innovation that was pent up for decades is suddenly released.
Andy Müller Maguhn	You can have a totally secure technical system and the government will think it’s no good, because they think security is when they can look into it, when they can control it, when they can breach the technical security.
Andy Müller Maguhn	We made some calculations in the Chaos Computer Club: you get decent voice-quality storage of all German telephone calls in a year for about 30 million euros including administrative overheads, so the pure storage is about 8 million euros.

Bram Cohen	The trick is to fix the problem you have, rather than the problem you want.
Brian Kernighan	Associative arrays are very very useful things and if you are only going to have one data structure that’s the one to have. Because you could build everything else with it if you want.
Brian Kernighan	C is a razor-sharp tool, with which one can create an elegant and efficient program or a bloody mess.

Chelsea Manning	Sometimes You Have to Pay a Heavy Price to Live in a Free Society.
Courtland Kelley	Bill and I looked at each other in amazement, that that kind of thing was happening, where the bolts on the front suspension fell out as we drove over the track. I thought that GM alarm bells would go off.
Crazy Soldier With Gun	Crazy, Crazy, Crazy
Daniel Ellsberg	I felt that as an American citizen, as a responsible citizen, I could no longer cooperate in concealing this information from the American public. I did this clearly at my own jeopardy and I am prepared to answer to all the consequences of this decision.
Daniel Ellsberg	In my estimation, there has not been in American history a more important leak than Edward Snowden’s release of NSA material – and that definitely includes the Pentagon Papers 40 years ago.
Daniel Ellsberg	Look, all administrations, all governments lie, all officials lie and nothing they say is to be believed. That’s a pretty good rule.
Daniel Ellsberg	We need the courage to face the truth about what we are doing in the world and act responsibly to change it.
Dark Horse Podcast
Dark Horse Podcast	Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying,
David Franklin	I’ll file a law suit on behalf of the citizens of the United States, against Big Pharma.
David Hoffman	In 2024, Ethereum will burn 1 million ETH. We simply haven’t seen the full effects of Proof of Stake + EIP1559 during the heat of a bull market. The furnace will be hot.
David Lee Chaum	Let’s read together, Computer Systems Established, Maintained, and Trusted by Mutually Suspicious Groups
David Lee Chaum	Let’s read together, Security without identification: Transaction systems to make big brother obsolete
David Lee Chaum	Let’s read together, Computer Systems Established, Maintained, and Trusted by Mutually Suspicious Groups
Dennis Ritchie	Another danger is that commercial pressures of one sort or another will divert the attention of the best thinkers from real innovation to exploitation of the current fad, from prospecting to mining a known lode.
Dennis Ritchie	C is quirky, flawed, and an enormous success.
Dennis Ritchie	Life’s a bitch and then your feet wear down.

Dr John Campbell
Dr John Campbell	Follow The Evidence
Dr John Campbell	Follow The Evidence.
Dr. Aaron Westrick	I sure hope that vest works.
Dr. Aaron Westrick	I sure hope that body-armor works.
Dr. Bret Weinstein	Something is seriously and dangerously amiss. At this moment in history, the center does not hold. Partisan polarization and political corruption have rendered government ineffective, predatory and often cruelly indifferent to the suffering of American citizens. Tribalism is a natural result.
Dr. Bret Weinstein	Weaponized equity is a means to an unacceptable and dangerous end, and it is already spreading from college campuses to other institutions… The emergence of this mentality, and this style of argument, at the highest levels of the tech sector and the press should alarm us greatly. The courts will not be far behind.
Dr. Robert Malone	Inventor of mRNA technology and its biggest nay-sayer.
Edmund Dene Morel	I make an appeal to the people of the civilized world, whose representatives signed the Berlin Act of 1885, and the Brussels Act of 1890, to unite in putting pressure upon their respective Governments to take the territories known as the independant Congo State out of the hands of King Leopold II, now ruler over a million square miles in Africa, inhabited by twenty million souls; and by such measures as may be decided upon at a new Conference, to ensure that the provisions of the Berlin and Brussels Acts shall be effectively carried out in those territories.
Edward Snowden	Being called a traitor by Dick Cheney is the highest honor you can give to an American.
Edward Snowden	Ultimately, arguing that you don’t care about the right to privacy because you have nothing to hide is no different than saying you don’t care about free speech because you have nothing to say.
Edward Snowden	Under observation, we act less free, which means we effectively are less free.
Eric Hughes	Privacy is necessary for an open society in the electronic age. Privacy is not secrecy. A private matter is something one doesn’t want the whole world to know, but a secret matter is something one doesn’t want anybody to know.
Eric Hughes	We must defend our own privacy if we expect to have any. We must come together and create systems which allow anonymous transactions to take place. People have been defending their own privacy for centuries with whispers, darkness, envelopes, closed doors, secret handshakes, and couriers. The technologies of the past did not allow for strong privacy, but electronic technologies do.
Ethan Buchman	Fuck move fast and break things; I want to move slow and fix things.
Ethan Buchman	Literally the opposite of true. Cosmos was designed with fault isolation at heart. Sovereign chains fail independently of each other. Terra going down does not directly affect the Hub or other chains. This was a successful demonstration of Cosmos security model!
Eva Galperin	We call on antivirus companies to recognize stalkerware for what it is: malicious technology with no acceptable use case.
Eva Galperin	With groups like the Coalition Against Stalkerware, Galperin and EFF are leading the fight to educate users and push antivirus companies to “change the norm” around how they treat this technology to prevent abuse and protect victims.
Gavin Andresen	Gavin did us all a great service with his early work on bitcoin.
Gavin Wood	Trusting an opaque institution or intermediary with our interests will be as archaic a concept as reckoning on our applications today.
Gavin Wood	We have no choice but to enshrine these guarantees of privacy and these basic rights into software into the very technology that we use so that they cannot be worked around, that no individual can be lent upon to break these rules.
Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz	Every substance is as a world apart, independent of everything else except God.
Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz	Everything that is possible demands to exist.
Guy Pearse	Let’s read together, Big Brands and Carbon Scams

Ian Avrum Goldberg	You’ve been held at gunpoint with somebody, I think you earned the right to call him friend.
Jacob Appelbaum	Cryptography shifts the balance of power from those with a monopoly on violence to those who comprehend mathematics and security design.
Jacob Appelbaum	There’s no real separation between the real world and the Internet. What we’ve begun to see now is a militarization of that space.
Jae Kwon	Cosmos co-founder Jae Kwon has introduced the specific charter for the Cosmos fork AtomOne, including a manifesto, vision and mission, genesis allocation, token economics, AtomOne governance, and AtomOne technical advisory committee.
Jae Kwon	We, as Gnomes, look forward to exploring ways to contribute to the development and adoption of Gnoland.

Jérémie Zimmermann	Hacking With Care: Our actions evolve around two principal axis that could be: Care for hackers-activists and Hackers ethics and tools for caregivers.
Jillian York	Algorithms are simply incapable of encapsulating human experience, regardless of what Silicon Valley would have us believe. And once companies have taken humans out of the loop and relinquished the reins to machines, there is no telling the sort of cultural norms they will eventually propagate in the future.
Jillian York	Facebook’s executives speak often of the platform being a global community, but those whose names do not fit within an Anglocentric idea of what is a name are subject to punitive measures that are not experienced by other users.
John Gilmore	How many of you have broken no laws this month? That’s the kind of society I want to build. I want a guarantee – with physics and mathematics, not with laws – that we can give ourselves real privacy of personal communications.
John Gilmore	The Net interprets censorship as damage and routes around it.
John McCarthy	He who refuses to do arithmetic is doomed to talk nonsense.
John McCarthy	It’s difficult to be rigorous about whether a machine really ‘knows’, ‘thinks’, etc., because we’re hard put to define these things. We understand human mental processes only slightly better than a fish understands swimming.
John McCarthy	One can even conjecture that Lisp owes its survival specifically to the fact that its programs are lists, which everyone, including me, has regarded as a disadvantage.
John McCarthy	Program designers have a tendency to think of the users as idiots who need to be controlled.
John McCarthy	When there’s a will to fail, obstacles can be found.
John Napier	The invention of logarithms, without which many of the numerical calculations which have constantly to be made would be practically impossible, was due to Napier of Merchiston. The first public announcement of the discovery was made in his Mirifici Logarithmorum Canonis Descriptio
John Napier	Therefore, Sir, let it be your Majesty’s continuall study (as called and charged thereunto by God) to reforme the universall enormities of your country
John Paul Vann	Lets read together, A Bright Shining Lie

John Roberts	You can’t fight for your rights if you don’t know what they are
John von Neumann	I have sometimes wondered whether a brain like von Neumann’s does not indicate a species superior to that of man.
John von Neumann	When we talk mathematics, we may be discussing a secondary language built on the primary language of the nervous system.
John von Neumann	With four parameters I can fit an elephant, and with five I can make him wiggle his trunk.
John von_Neumann	Any one who considers arithmetical methods of producing random digits is, of course, in a state of sin.
Jon Callas	Many Big Tech earn their revenues from selling user data.
Jon Callas	Tech companies are a bigger threat to privacy than the government.
Jonathan Mohan	Speaking of Bitcoin was a great podcast in the earlier years of Bitcoin and Ethereum.
Jonathan Mohan	Speaking of bitcoin ……
Jude Milhon	Girls need modems!
Jude Milhon	Give us bandwidth or kill us!
Jude Milhon	Hacking is the clever circumvention of imposed limits, whether imposed by your government, your IP server, your own personality, or the laws of physics
Jude Milhon	I hate this waaaah-I’m-a-poor-sensitive-weak-woman-protect-me shit. This kind of stuff generates more contempt for women. So f— niceness!
Jude Milhon	I’m a future-hacker; I’m trying to get root access to the future. I want to raid its system of thought.
Julian Assange	You can’t publish a paper on physics without the full experimental data and results, that should be the standard in journalism. You can’t do it in newspapers because there isn’t enough space, but now with the internet there is.
Julian Assange	We all only live once. So we are obligated to make good use of the time that we have and to do something that is meaningful and satisfying. This is something that I find meaningful and satisfying. That is my temperament. I enjoy creating systems on a grand scale, and I enjoy helping people who are vulnerable. And I enjoy crushing bastards.
Julian assange	It is impossible to correct abuses unless we know that they’re going on.
Julian assange	Our No. 1 enemy is ignorance. And I believe that is the No. 1 enemy for everyone — it’s not understanding what actually is going on in the world.
Julian assange	The goal is justice, the method is transparency. It’s important not to confuse the goal and the method.
Julian assange	You have to start with the truth. The truth is the only way that we can get anywhere. Because any decision-making that is based upon lies or ignorance can’t lead to a good conclusion.
Karen U. Kwiatkowski nee Unge	I came to share with many NSA colleagues a kind of unease, a sense that something was awry. What seemed out of place was the strong and open pro-Israel and anti-Arab orientation in an ostensibly apolitical policy-generation staff within the Pentagon.
Karen U. Kwiatkowski nee Unge	You don’t need me to tell you this, it’s in every newspaper every day, on every page. It is our modern reality. Truth and transparency are its only antidote, and truth and transparency needs all of us. To live in a society, to be a citizen, to love your country — you cannot sleepwalk through it.
Katharine Gun	First of all, I never set out to be a whistleblower. Secondly, I never expected that my story would be interesting to anybody. Third of all, you know, I was actually terrified of being named, of being identified.
Katharine Gun	I work for the British people. I do not gather intelligence so the government can lie to the British people.
Ken Thompson	The press, television, and movies make heroes of vandals by calling them whiz kids. … There is obviously a cultural gap. The act of breaking into a computer system has to have the same social stigma as breaking into a neighbor’s house. It should not matter that the neighbor’s door is unlocked.
Ken Thompson	Unix was built for me. I didn’t build it as an operating system for other people, I built it to do games, and to do my stuff. I was always into games, games was my thing. I used to play pinball machines, and I would pick the lock in the back of pinball machines. Then I’d study the diagrams that I had. That’s where I learned a lot of this kind of logic.
Ken Thompson	When in doubt, use brute force
Kim DotCom	The most important thing that we need to figure out is how to prevent AI from killing us. And why wouldn’t AI want to kill us? We are like a cancer on this planet, destroying everything, killing each other, and for what? Money. AI won’t care about money. It won’t like humanity.
Leonard Adleman	Creation of the field of DNA computing.
Linus Torvalds	I’m doing a (free) operating system (just a hobby, won’t be big and professional like gnu) for 386(486) AT clones.
Linus Torvalds	None of this there is no way to continue bullshit. Because it is pure and utter SHIT.
Linus Torvalds	Portability is for people who cannot write new programs.
Linus Torvalds	Really, I’m not out to destroy Microsoft. That will just be a completely unintentional side effect
Linus Torvalds	Sometimes you have one of those days that just shows how incompetent you are… Moral of the day: RTFM
Lyn Alden	I kind of operate in two different worlds that partially overlap. The macro world where many of them still don’t particularly appreciate Bitcoin and then the Bitcoin world where some of them do care about macro.
Lyn Alden	Most advisors are followers, not leaders.
Maj. Gen. Smedley Darlington Butler	War is a racket. It is the only one international in scope. It is the only one in which the profits are reckoned in dollars and the losses in lives.
Marc Andreessen	In short, software is eating the world.
Marc Andreessen	In the startup world, you’re either a genius or an idiot. You’re never just an ordinary guy trying to get through the day.
Mark Felt	I am not Deep Throat, and the only thing I can say is that I wouldn’t be ashamed to be, because I think whoever [it was] helped the country, no question about it
Mark Felt	I guess people used to think Deep Throat was a criminal, but now they think he’s a hero.
Martin Edward Hellman	Public key cryptography changes everything.
Matthew D Green	A Few Thoughts on Cryptographic Engineering

Michel Christopher Christoph Meili	Lets read together, Imperfect Justice
Michel Christopher Christoph Meili	Lets watch together, Affäre Meili – Ein Whistleblower zwischen Moral und Milliarden
Michel Christopher Christoph Meili	Swiss bank Union Bank of Switzerland (UBS) destroying documentation of Holocaust-era assets
Mike Godwin	As an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches one
Mike Godwin	The decisions we make about the Internet don’t affect just the Internet – they are answers to basic questions about the relationship each citizen has to the government and about the extent to which we trust one another with the full range of fundamental rights granted by the Constitution.
Mustafa Al-Bassam	Al-Bassam has published research on scaling blockchains and cryptocurrencies.
Mustafa Al-Bassam	British computer security researcher, hacker, and co-founder of Celestia Labs. Al-Bassam co-founded the hacker group LulzSec in 2011, which was responsible for several high profile breaches.
Mustafa Al-Bassam	He was also affiliated with the online association of hacktivists known as Anonymous, where he was involved with the hacking of emails from HBGary Federal, an intelligence contractor for the U.S. government. The emails revealed that HBGary Federal was working to develop astroturfing software to create an army of fake social media profiles, and was hired by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce to spy on and smear political opponents with fake documents and communications.
Mustafa Al-Bassam	In 2014 Al-Bassam volunteered for Privacy International,where he released research on the computer destruction techniques that GCHQ used when forcing journalists at The Guardian’s London headquarters to destroy the computers on which they stored copies of classified documents provided by NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden.
Mustafa Al-Bassam	Mustafa_Al-Bassam_7793.jpeg

Nic Carter	Nic invest in anti-authoritarian technology.
Nic Carter	The Bank Secrecy Act is unconstitutional and must be repealed.
Nic Carter	The Bitcoiner Who Stood Up to Toxicity, is a commentator and venture capitalist, and takes a stand against Bitcoin Maximalism.
Nic Carter	We must restore currency competition by creating monetary alternatives that introduce non-discretionary rules.
Nick Szabo	Ethereum has vast potential, whereas Bitcoin won’t ever do anything well beyond implementing a currency.
Niklaus Wirth	Go To statement considered harmful.
Niklaus Wirth	In our profession, precision and perfection are not a dispensable luxury, but a simple necessity.
Niklaus Wirth	Software gets slower faster than hardware gets faster
Noam Chomsky	After decades of anti-Communist indoctrination, it is difficult to achieve a perspective that makes possible a serious evaluation of the extent to which Bolshevism and Western liberalism have been united in their opposition to popular revolution.
Noam Chomsky	What can one say about a country where a museum of science in a great city can feature an exhibit in which people fire machine guns from a helicopter at Vietnamese huts, with a light flashing when a hit is scored? What can one say about a country where such an idea can even be considered? You have to weep for this country. These and a thousand other examples testify to moral degeneration on such a scale that talk about the “normal channels” of political action and protest becomes meaningless or hypocritical. We have to ask ourselves whether what is needed in the United States is dissent —or denazification. The question is a debatable one. Reasonable people may differ. The fact that the question is even debatable is a terrifying thing. To me it seems that what is needed is a kind of denazification.
Pascal Diethelm	Please stop smoking.
Pascal Diethelm	Please stop smoking.
Paul Jayko	We will be heard.
Paul Jayko	We will be heard.
Peter Maurice Wright CBE	Lets read together, Spycatcher

Plan9 SpaceLenda	Plan 9 from Outer Space.
Prof. Bill Buchanan OBE	Edinburgh is a beautiful city.
Prof. Bill Buchanan OBE	Edinburgh is a beautiful city.
Richard M Bowen III	Check you contract with Bankers very carefully.
Richard Maok Riaño Botina	Take care.
Richard Stallman	There is nothing wrong with wanting pay for work, or seeking to maximize one’s income, as long as one does not use means that are destructive. But the means customary in the field of software today are based on destruction.
Richard Stallman	What they had in common was mainly love of excellence and programming. They wanted to make their programs that they used be as good as they could. They also wanted to make them do neat things. They wanted to be able to do something in a more exciting way than anyone believed possible and show Look how wonderful this is. I bet you didn’t believe this could be done.
Robert Breedlove	Fiat currency is the root of all evil. It is the theft of savings from citizens and all fiat currencies eventually fail.

Satyendra Dubey	Look closely at the Golden Quadrilateral highway construction project
Sherron Watkins	Look closely at Enron
Sibel Edmonds	They went after lawyers and law firms. All kinds of–heaps of lawyers and law firms. They went after judges. One of the judges is now sitting on the Supreme Court that I had his wiretap information in my hand. Two are former FISA court judges. They went after State Department officials.
Sibel Edmonds	They went after–and I know this because I had my hands literally on the paperwork for these sort of things–they went after high-ranking military officers; they went after members of Congress, both Senate and the House, especially on the intelligence committees and on the armed services committees and some of the–and judicial.
Speaking Of BitCoin PodCast	Classic discussion between Andreas M. Antonopoulos, Stephanie Murphy, Jonathan Mohan and Adam B. Levine
Speaking of Bitcoin Podcast	Classic and worth digging up.
Stefan Philip Kruszewski	Stop abusing chemical restraints
Stephanie Murphy	Speaking of Bitcoin was a great podcast in the earlier years of Bitcoin and Ethereum.
Steven Levy	Finally, Vista Makes Its Debut. Now What?
Tim Berners-Lee	Innovation is serendipity, so you don’t know what people will make.
Tim Berners-Lee	The Semantic Web is not a separate Web but an extension of the current one, in which information is given well-defined meaning, better enabling computers and people to work in cooperation.
Tim Berners-Lee	The Web as I envisaged it, we have not seen it yet. The future is still so much bigger than the past.
Timothy C May	Lets read together, The Crypto Anarchist Manifesto
Toni Ellen Hoffman	Is that really necessary?
Vitalic Butterin	You could imagine something like a completely automated system for renting bikes that’s just done completely over blockchain crypto-payments. And theoretically just sort of start it up, and it works completely autonomously.
Vitalik Buterin Cyborg	In order to have a decentralised database, you need to have security. In order to have security, you need to – you need to have incentives.
Vitalik Buterin Cyborg	When I came up with Ethereum, my first first thought was, ‘Okay, this thing is too good to be true.’ As it turned out, the core Ethereum idea was good – fundamentally, completely sound.
Wei Dai	B-Money is fine, but this new fella wants to try something else, called Bitcoin.
Wei Dai	Crypto++
Whitfield Diffie	Let us exchange keys
Zaki Manian	Blockchain security comes down to the question ‘who can rug you?’ How many actors need to collude to attack the system?
Zaki Manian	The real limitation on how many transactions a blockchain can process is I/O. Decoupling data availability from the I/O process is the only way that we’ll be able to produce petabytes of secure block space.
Zaki Manian	Until Celestia came along, the idea of a very scalable system of multiple chains with shared security was very hard.
Zooko Wilcox O Hearn	Let us use Blake3.
Zooko Wilcox O Hearn	The triangle of human meaniful, decentralised and secure.
Zooko Wilcox O Hearn	There was DigiCash and now we have ZCash, perhaps soon to adopt COSMOS technology.
