"The future of settlement is faster, stronger, and smarter. Bars of gold took a year to settle, so we went to stocks and bonds, which took a week to settle. Eventually, we got it down to a day. But, we don’t want 19th and 20th-century speeds. Bitcoin settles in one hour. I can move $10 billion, anywhere on Earth, in one hour. This is just the beginning. We’re going from someone, somewhere, sometime to anyone, anywhere, anytime. Bitcoin is an open protocol, meaning it will improve exponentially. We’re headed to a world where we’ll settle in T+1 millisecond." —Michael Saylor
