Tweetable Quotes“Bitcoin is a digital currency and what is interesting is that it's independent. So there are no bills to print or coins to make. It’s decentralized and there is no government or institution like a bank or any other authority that controls it. So, it’s really all up to the users of the network and how this network evolves.” (11:00) (Moritz)
“If you compare gold to Bitcoin, then you have a lot of the same properties. Both have a limited supply. But the downside of gold is it’s very hard to transport. It’s very hard to validate if it’s real gold. When it comes to Bitcoin, it’s super simple to store. It’s super simple to transport and it’s very easy also to validate.” (13:54) (Moritz)
“So, we started off as a Bitcoin Lightning wallet because of the reason that you said that there is no native monetization of information on the web; it’s still separated. There is Paypal on the one side and then there is the exchange of information on the other side. But they don’t go together. It’s too expensive to make these payments through the web. And that’s why we started Alby where our mission is to make these payments accessible for everyone.” (22:17) (Moritz)
“We are taking big steps in terms of user experience here [at Alby] and making it easier and easier and easier for podcasters to get started.” (35:07) (Moritz)
“You have to put some effort in it, but it’s very rewarding when you see the first payments come through and when you see people paying you on a permanent basis.” (45:23) (Moritz)
