Title: Ron Paul: Bitcoin could destroy the dollar Post by: awesome31312 on September 09, 2014, 07:25:54 PM "Imagine a world in which you can buy anything in secret. No banks. No fees. No worries inflation will make today's money worth less tomorrow.
The digital currency Bitcoin promises all these things. And while it's far from achieving any of them -- its value is unstable and it's rarely used** -- some have high hopes." **CNN lies (http://money.cnn.com/2013/12/04/technology/bitcoin-libertarian/) "There will be alternatives to the dollar, and this might be one of them," said former U.S. congressman Ron Paul. If people start using bitcoins en masse, "it'll go down in history as the destroyer of the dollar," Paul added. Title: Re: Ron Paul: Bitcoin could destroy the dollar Post by: BADecker on September 09, 2014, 07:35:53 PM Let's hope that the Bitcoin you see is the tip of the iceberg. Why? Fiat will kill itself if Bitcoin doesn't, and we need something to replace it so we don't lose our ability to trade afar.

Also is the second quote by CNN a made up lie called a quote? I find your post to be confusing. Maybe I'm just simple but I've got no clue what the point is your trying to make at this time.

No, it's from the article, which is hyperlinked in my post in case you missed it Title: Re: Ron Paul: Bitcoin could destroy the dollar Post by: Chef Ramsay on September 09, 2014, 07:46:43 PM Ron actually said this originally a few months back as it was first discussed in the crypto section on the ron paul forums where I hang out w/ all the other activists across the country. All the Ron people are precious metals types so it's nice to see some of them looking into other alternatives.

Title: Re: Ron Paul: Bitcoin could destroy the dollar Post by: deepestfear on September 10, 2014, 04:37:49 AM Ron is right about the dollar
That said, the dollar devalued 97% from 1914 to 2009 even without cryptos... Title: Re: Ron Paul: Bitcoin could destroy the dollar Post by: txbtc on September 10, 2014, 05:17:08 AM NWO
A world government needs a world currency- Bitcoin ??? Title: Re: Ron Paul: Bitcoin could destroy the dollar Post by: hardleft121 on September 10, 2014, 06:46:56 AM I think you are partially right. People would love to use Bitcoin but it won't be able to destroy dollar.

Thanks to inflation. Banks are stealing your wealth by printing more money. The process of printing money isn't under control of banks. This is a government decision.
