Special Post For My Steamians Dreamers:

Bitcoin is one of those topics that evokes great emotion and debate. So it is no surprise that even the richest and most famous people in the world have shared their thoughts and opinions on Bitcoin.

No banks, no fees and no inflation. These are a few potential perks of this thing called Bitcoin. But is bitcoin really the money of the future? What is all the rage about?

Bill Gates:

Founder of Microsoft and richest person in the world.

"I think it's a technical tour de force but that it is an area where governments are going to maintain a dominant role."

"Bitcoin is exciting because it shows how cheap it can be. Bitcoin is better than currency in that you don’t have to be physically in the same place and, of course, for large transactions, currency can get pretty inconvenient.”

Warren Buffett:

CEO of Berkshire Hathaway and the second richest person in the world.

Dmitry Medvedev:
Dmitry Medvedev has been the Russian Prime Minister since 8 May 2012. The Russian Prime Minister is considered the second highest position in the government, after the President.

"There are many examples of this, such as actively developing "blockchain" technologies. So called 'smart contracts' allow creation of self-regulated autonomous organizations independent of the State.

Such systems take on a life of their own, transcending existing written laws. This presents extremely interesting phenomenon and challenge to legal scholars.

It seems that in many such cases there exists a limit of what a law is able to achieve in principle. The deals that transfer property, that certify the property rights - it all happens in a highly automated fashion. ...

Such novel situation calls for a concerted effort to deal with it. We need to analyze it. It puts non-standard tasks in front of the legal scholars, lawmakers.

So non-standard solutions are needed that may lay the foundation for a completely new legal field. I hope for productive discussions regarding this issue among us."

Richard Branson:
An English businessman and investor who is best known as the founder of Virgin Group comprising more than 400 companies. Branson is the seventh richest citizen of the United Kingdom, with an estimated net worth of US$4.9 billion.

"There's a big industry around and, you know people have made fortune out of bitcoin."

"If people have lots of bitcoin and they want to go to space, I much rather they spend that money on a spaceship."

Chamath Palihapitiya:

Venture capitalist and partial owner of the Golden State Warriors. In March 2013, Palihapitiya confirmed that his venture fund had raised over $275 million in its second round of fundraising.
