"[T]he Information Revolution will liberate individuals as never before. For the first time, those who can educate themselves will be almost entirely free to invent their own work and realize the full benefits of their own productivity. Genius will be unleashed, freed from both the oppression of government and the drags of racial and ethnic prejudice. ...The ugly, the fat, the old, the disabled will vie with the young and beautiful on equal terms in utterly color-blind anonymity on the frontiers of cyberspace."

- James Dale Davidson & William Rees-Mogg, The Sovereign Individual, 1997.

"By 2025, the cybereconomy will have many millions of participants. Some of them will be as rich as Bill Gates, worth over $10 billion each. The cyberpoor may be those with an income of less than $200,000 a year. There will be no cyberwelfare. No cybertaxes and no cybergovernment. The cybereconomy, rather than China, could well be the greatest economic phenomenon of the next thirty years."

"Because of digital cash, there is no longer a difference between money and speech. That, then, is the future of money. Will the government tell you to shut up?"

"...to be an entrepreneur, you have to be an artist, and you have to be a creator. And you if combine that with a knowledge of reality — if you really know what you are doing — then there is no stopping you."
