Quotes:

On comparing DeFi versus Bitcoin: “It's much more likely that the entire DeFi space goes up a 100x over the next five years than Bitcoin.”

On Bitcoin price: “My common response is it's been growing at 209% for nine years, I think it's going to grow at least 209% over the next couple years and that puts you at $100 000, probably in two years; but I do think that will happen.”
