Everything Christoph Jentzsch said on any show that made the record, most notable first. Each card names its show and opens the statement there.
Jentzsch: Blockchain users, not miners, hold ultimate governance power
“So the miners, they serve the blockchain, and yes, therefore they do have some control of it, but at the end, my opinion is, and everyone will give you some different opinions on this, is that the users are really in charge. If the users say, I will switch to …”
Jentzsch: DAO Attacker Is Morally a Thief Despite Exploiting Valid Code
“But from a moral point of view, you did take money, which didn't belong to him. That's why I would call him a thief.”
Jentzsch: Many 2017 ICOs Are Actually Illegal Unregistered Securities Offerings

Jentzsch: I Wish I Had Known How to Avoid The DAO Bug

Jentzsch: Bitcoin Scaling Factions Will Likely Never Reach Consensus
“And that's what currently, there's a lot of discussions, people are against it, people are for it, and they try to find a consensus, but they are fighting for years now. So there is most likely no consensus ever.”
Jentzsch: A couple dozen miners could control Bitcoin's network
“And I still think it is decentralized, but maybe not as decentralized as many people think, because there's, yeah, there is a couple of dozen of Bitcoin miners who basically control, could control the whole network.”
Jentzsch: 2017 ICO Craze Driven by Uninformed Retail Overfunding Startups
“I think a lot of the ICOs we see right now is people who do not understand what they are doing getting convinced by marketing people to put money into something they don't understand, and then those startups raise much more money than they actually need.”

Jentzsch: Slock.it Smart Locks Function Even if Slock.it Shuts Down
“If Slocket would go down, then the smart log would still work. It would still accept Ether as a payment because it would listen to the Ethereum blockchain. So as long as the Ethereum blockchain is still live and running, This log will always listen to it.”
Jentzsch: DAO Attacker Took $50M But Left A 4-Week Resolution Window
“So we could just look and see how we did take fifty million dollars into a sub-account. But there was a rule in the smart contract which gave us about four to five weeks time to solve the problem.”
