I think we have a bubble in the US in government bonds, because of the quantitative easing and the negative real interest rates, and to some extent, that increases asset values across the board, including in startups.

More quotes by Peter Thiel
Competition is overrated. In practice it is quite destructive and should be avoided wherever possible. Much better than fighting for scraps in existing markets is to create and own new ones.
Peter Thiel
Long-term planning is often undervalued by our indefinite short-term world.
Peter Thiel
Rivalry causes us to overemphasize old opportunities and slavishly copy what has worked in the past.
Peter Thiel
If you can identify a delusional popular belief, you can find what lies hidden behind it: the contrarian truth.
Peter Thiel
All failed companies are the same: they failed to escape competition.
Peter Thiel
I think somehow people should be encouraged to think about a very long time horizon and I think this is true for businesses, it's true for governments and it's true for people doing things in the non-profit sector.
Peter Thiel
In a world where wealth is growing, you can get away with printing money. Doubling the debt over the next 20 years is not a problem.
Peter Thiel
No company has a culture every company is a culture.
Peter Thiel
Customers won’t care about any particular technology unless it solves a particular problem in a superior way. And if you can’t monopolize a unique solution for a small market, you’ll be stuck with vicious competition.
Peter Thiel
People working on bigger ideas on a more protracted timeline will be more on the stealth side. They aren’t releasing new PR announcements every day. The bigger the secret and the likelier it is that you alone have it, the more time you have to execute. There may be far more people going after hard secrets than we think.
Peter Thiel
As you craft a plan to expand to adjacent markets, don't disrupt: Avoid competition as much as possible.
Peter Thiel
You'll attract the employees you need if you can explain why your mission is compelling: not why it's important in general, but why you're doing something important that no one else is going to get done.
Peter Thiel
Anti-aging is an extremely under-explored field.
Peter Thiel
Recruiting is a core competency for any company. It should never be outsourced.
Peter Thiel
Every university…seem[s] to reassure you that ‘it doesn’t matter what you do, as long as you do it well.’ That is completely false. It does matter what you do. You should focus relentlessly at something you’re good at doing, but before that you must think hard about whether it will be valuable in the future.
Peter Thiel
Education needs to be rethought. Education does not just happen in college, but it also happens in developing skills which will enable people to contribute to our society as a whole.
Peter Thiel
When you are starting a new business you don't want to go after giant markets. You want to go after small markets and take over those markets quickly.
Peter Thiel
Twitter is hard to evaluate. They have a lot of potential. It's a horribly mismanaged company — probably a lot of pot-smoking going on there. But it's such a solid franchise it may even work with all that.
Peter Thiel
A lot of the key to Apple's succes is Designing technology in order to hide it.
Peter Thiel
A true bubble is when something is overvalued and intensely believed. Education may be the only thing people still believe in in the United States. To question education is really dangerous. It is the absolute taboo. It's like telling the world there's no Santa Claus.
