Self-discipline is what separates the winners and the losers.
I think bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are great ideas. They should be allowed to be traded freely and used freely to find their appropriate role in the economy.
Never bend the rules. You bend the rules a little bit and then it's a slippery slope.
My charitable donations go to educational efforts, such as Teach for America, Vanderbilt University, Berkshire School.
Socialism and Communism are extremely attractive to a superficial observer. It is not until you get into the details, or actually experience it, that it becomes apparent that it does not work.
Yes, in socialism the rich will be poorer - but the poor will also be poorer. People will lose interest in really working hard and creating jobs.
You win a few, you lose a few.
I see no point in exchanging something that I understand, know, love and think will have a great future for something else that I know much less about.
America's wealth comes from the efforts of people striving for success. Take away their incentive with badmouthing success and you take away the wealth that helps us take care of the needy.
It was a big deal to leave home and my culture and my language. But I believed that in America, I could truly reap what I sowed and that the measure of a man was his ability and determination to succeed. This was the land of boundless opportunity.
I paid $1.9 billion in taxes in my lifetime.
What I am objecting to is linking bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies by federal regulations to the real economy, which would happen if we were to clear bitcoin along with other products in the same trading house.
The rich support the poor primarily via taxes.
I had an extremely boring time doing 20 to 30 trades a day while everyone was talking about baseball or basketball. So I stood there fantasizing about a device that could do the same thing I was doing.
Some traders still think that a computer could not trade as well as they can.
I grew up in a socialist country. And I have seen what that does to people. There is no hope, no freedom. No pride in achievement.
It seems like people don't learn from the past.
Software makes the world go round.
Discipline is important for everything in life.
I don't think my basic business strategy is well known by the public, probably because people think it's too simple. My strategy has always been to try to focus in on a product or service where you can create a dollar of value for 20 cents and sell it for 40 cents.
