With Bitcoin, no one has a monopoly of information.

Gemini is a spot bitcoin exchange. To use it, you sign up with Gemini.com and undergo the initial standard review process, similar to what you'd encounter at a traditional bank. Once you're through, you can ACH or wire cash to the platform, then begin buying and selling bitcoin.

We didn't grow up in a jock household. In fact, my dad is an entrepreneur. He was a computer programmer; he was a professor of actuarial science at Wharton for 13 years, then started his own company that was software-based.

I think our path to the Olympics is a good metaphor for how you build a company. Our skill and commitment grew over time, day by day, stroke by stroke. So, sports are tied well with our entrepreneurial pursuits because you train for a few years, but there is no guarantee that you will succeed.

The attraction to me was that Harvard was such a big community, with interesting things to do and interesting people, but you realise when you're there that things are a lot narrower than you thought. It's a little bit of a let-down.

We were there at the beginning of the web 2.0.

We are pretty firm believers in the fact that you make your own fate, with or without the Facebook ordeal.

On one of our very first days when we tried rowing, our coach, James Mangan, showed us a video of the Boat Race. That was part of the impetus for us to start rowing.

Everybody has a good idea, but nothing goes as planned.

There will always be people who will support us, and there will always be naysayers.

I don't think it hurts to have rowing featured in a movie that's in the race for the best pictures. If it means someone might try the sport... then I'm really excited and happy about that.

Auctions create greater price discovery and liquidity, resulting in a very meaningful final auction price. If you were building a securities exchange today, an auction would be a core feature.

Judging a child taking his first steps for not being able to run a marathon is shortsighted.

The narrative behind bitcoin has been dominated by bad behavior. The reality is bitcoin is filled with tons of talented developers building infrastructure.

Cash is going to be killed. It will be nostalgia.

We dealt with a lot of skepticism early on, when we first spoke about bitcoin.

I've been a huge fan of Mike Judge for a long time.

I remember there was one summer - I think I was 13 years old - that was literally defined by watching 'Beavis and Butt-head' with my friends.

I think it's always interesting when you see a company start moving so quickly - it's like wow, incredible. When a company like Uber starts breaking away, it's not a linear thing. It's exponential. All of a sudden, the guy you know who threw $25,000 at Uber very early on - all the sudden, that $25,000 is $25 million.

The idea of money being something physical is almost entirely a fiction. Sure, you can go to your ATM and pull out cash. And you can feel cash in your back pocket and have some tangible comfort there - but in reality, the majority of your money is a number on a screen.

When you think about how everything else works in the digital age and the way that money does, money really falls short.

Every investor around the world wants to invest in U.S. markets because they're regulated and they're licensed. They're trustworthy; they have confidence. If you take that away, the global economy will take a hit like nothing else. We want to create that for Bitcoin.

Dad was a pure entrepreneur. The dinner conversations weren't like, 'Did the Yankees win today?'

We may have been born on third base, but we worked like we were starting from home plate. You know: batter up.

Our business isn't to be famous: that's not what we do; that's not what we strive for.
