Dan Kaminsky Quotations

The Internet's proven to be a pretty big deal for global society, and Bitcoin could basically be thought of as the Internet, applied to money.

It is a fairly open secret that almost all systems can be hacked, somehow. It is a less spoken of secret that such hacking has actually gone quite mainstream.

Software tends not to kill people, and so we accept incredibly fast innovation loops because the consequences are tolerable and the results are astonishing.

We are at the point where all the obvious things we tell Microsoft to do, they already do it.

The data shows that this is most likely a hundreds-of-thousands to millions of victims issue.

I'm not an economist; I'm a hacker who has spent his career exploring and repairing large networks.

Bitcoin's got its issues. But it is not competing with perfection.

BitCoin is actually an exploit against network complexity. Not financial networks, or computer networks, or social networks. Networks themselves.

Users have had the opportunity to upgrade for a long time. It's unlikely that they would choose to do so now as a result of this announcement.

It's not perfect, but compared to the competition, they've made significant progress.
