A Reddit find worth sharing:

Andreas Antonopoulos is known not only for his deep insights into Bitcoin and blockchain but also for his wit and humor. Here are a few of his witty and memorable quotes:

1. ⁠On Bitcoin’s volatility: "Bitcoin is volatile like a roller coaster. But unlike a roller coaster, you can’t get off."
2. ⁠On the complexity of blockchain: "Explaining Bitcoin to someone who doesn't understand it is like explaining to a dog how to use the internet."
3. ⁠On the skeptics of Bitcoin: "If you don't understand Bitcoin, it's okay. Just be glad that you’re not the person trying to understand the internet in the 1980s."
4. ⁠On the future of money: "Bitcoin is like the internet in the early 90s. It’s going to change everything, but nobody knows exactly how yet. And yes, we’re all using dial-up."
5. ⁠On Bitcoin’s value proposition: "Bitcoin isn’t the future of money. It’s the present, it’s just that some people still think we live in the past."
6. ⁠On Bitcoin’s technological nature: "Bitcoin is a technology that forces you to take control of your own life. It’s like being handed the keys to your own financial future. And if you lose the keys, it’s your problem, not mine."
7. ⁠On the evolution of the financial system: "The world’s central banks are like the dinosaurs. Bitcoin is the asteroid."
8. ⁠On the critics of Bitcoin: "When you first hear about Bitcoin, it sounds like the ramblings of an eccentric. Then you realize the eccentric was right all along."
9. ⁠On explaining Bitcoin: "Explaining Bitcoin is like explaining fire to someone who has only ever seen cold."
10. ⁠On Bitcoin adoption: "Bitcoin is the world's first 'too good to fail' technology—except it doesn't need to be bailed out by anyone."
