“It seems to me that an invalid is more frivolous when he has a physician than when he takes care of his health himself. In the former case, it is sufficient if he adheres strictly to what has been prescribed; in the latter, we take a more conscientious view of that which these prescriptions are designed to serve, that is to say our health, and notice much more, order and forbid ourselves much more, than would happen at the instigation of the physician.” - Friedrich Nietzsche

“Amidst a sea of rent-seeking 'cryptocurrencies' created by opportunistic venture capitalists, bitcoin stands alone as neutral, immutable money with rules, but no single ruler.” - Nik Bhatia and Joe Consorti

“The people are hungry: It is because those in authority eat up too much in taxes.” - Lao Tzu

“Belief in truth begins with doubt as to all truths believed in hitherto.” - Friedrich Nietzsche

“Anger empties out the soul and brings even its dregs to light. That is why, if we know no other way of discovering the truth of the matter, we must know how to put our acquaintances, our adherents and opponents, into a rage, so as to learn all that is really being thought and undertaken against us.” - Friedrich Nietzsche

“There is no such thing as duty. If you know that a thing is right, you want to do it. If you don't want to do it - it isn't right. If it's right and you don't want to do it - you don't know what right is and you're not a man.” - Ayn Rand

“If any man's money can be taken by a so-called government, without his own personal consent, all his other rights are taken with it; for with his money the government can, and will, hire soldiers to stand over him, compel him to submit to its arbitrary will, and kill him if he resists.” - Lysander Spooner

“By bending yourself to fit the institutions, you turn things inside out. The institutions must be created and utilized as they serve you — not vice versa. When they don't add anything to your well-being, you have no logical reason to support them.” - Harry Browne

“We must judge of a form of government by its general tendency, not by happy accidents.” - Thomas Babington Macaulay

“There is an innocence in admiration: it is found in people who do not realize that they themselves might also be admired some day.” - Friedrich Nietzsche

“You have the God-given right to kick the government around - don't hesitate to do so.” - Edmund Muskie

“No one ever died from smoking marijuana, but millions of people have died by believing politicians. So why is marijuana outlawed while politicians are still legal?” - Harry Browne

“Now we have to borrow $800 billion a year just to keep the safety net going. It's going to collapse when the dollar collapses.” - Ron Paul

“New opinions are always suspected, and usually opposed, without any other reason but because they are not already common.” - John Locke

“The price of Bitcoin is being driven by all of the money printing and uncertainty in the world right now.” - Tyler Winklevoss

“The Federal Reserve system relies on the force of government to maintain its monopoly power on the issuance of money. This is how all central banks maintain their control. Without the state's involvement, people would be free to use whatever currency they like. Historically this was gold. If the founders of the Fed tried to do what they did without the Federal Reserve Act legislation, and later the Brenton Woods agreement, they would have failed miserably. No one would have bought into their system.” - Ross Ulbricht

“Money shouldn't have a memory.” - Chris Belcher

“If we are content with knowledge as a commodity, accessible only through a computerized bureaucracy, we can simply let companies provide it. But if we want to keep human knowledge open and freely available to humanity, we have to do the work to make it available that way.” - Richard Stallman

“The most perfidious way of harming a cause consists of defending it deliberately with faulty arguments.” - Friedrich Nietzsche

“The trouble is with socialism, which resembles a form of mental illness more than it does a philosophy. Socialists get bees in their bonnets. And because they chronically lack any critical faculty to examine and evaluate their ideas, and because they are pathologically unwilling to consider the opinions of others, and most of all, because socialism is a mindset that regards the individual — and his rights — as insignificant, compared to whatever the socialist believes the group needs, terrible, terrible things happen when socialists acquire power.” - L. Neil Smith
