| Our strategy has worked. Here’s the proof. Our Investing Principles A final point of pride is that we have done a lot to promote crypto investing with integrity. While there are plenty of shady characters in crypto – as in any new and emerging asset class – we have always tried to show, in both word and deed, that crypto is a legitimate asset class that investors can embrace with integrity. It hasn’t been easy: the news media is still negative on crypto, jumping on every scandal while ignoring the tremendous investing profits of those who have followed our approach. (You don’t often see the headline, “PATIENT CRYPTO INVESTORS HAVE MADE A LOT OF MONEY.”) At its heart, crypto is good, because it is transforming the global financial system. It’s old-school money running on new-school technology. The net result is that money will be able to move better, faster, and cheaper. We will eventually, in my view, move away from the U.S. dollar as the controlling global currency, and our “dollar dependence” will be replaced by a one-world money, run on crypto rails. For all kinds of reasons, these are hugely positive things for the world. Investing with integrity means putting your money behind the people, projects, and products that are improving the world. When we pool our money together, we can do bigger and better things than any of us can do alone. That’s the beauty of investing in common enterprises, in common stocks, in common crypto. We have always tried to legitimize crypto, as something that’s good for investors and good for the world. Slowly but surely, we’re getting there.
