In this video, he debates Paul Krugman,
When Krugman says he lives in 150 ago, he should teach Krugman Bitcoin.
Pitty man.

I've spoken with Ron Paul's campaign managers about Bitcoin but they never did let me interview him for BitTalk.TV. I'll try again for the Bitcoin Magazine.

No offense, but bitcoin is going to need at least a decade (maybe century)  track record to even be considered in terms of gold.  It is experimental.  Will the block chain become too bloated?  Will it be cracked?  Will the network collapse?  Can it handle 100,000 transactions a second.   To have Paul comment on bitcoin is really lame imho.

Thank god for Paul to make a complete fool out of Krugman.

The monopoly of fed notes, if not by law, is enforced quasily by taxes: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T9EI2PrDpmw


And wow, already in his first words Krugman commits several fallacies at once:


⇨ Appeal to authority


⇨ Appeal to tradition


⇨ Non sequitur (logic)


Probably a lot more.

lol at krugman when Ron Paul suggests to allow currency competition (do away with legal tender laws and taxes on gold/silver):


Oh my god, yes, Mr. Krugman, I would happily use other money that crappy inflating FIAT shit (sorry) if only I wasn't forced to pay my taxes in EUR. And I'm not alone.

Ron Paul seems pretty busy with the election.
Maybe after its over you will have some good luck.

To me, you already have his complete opinion about Bitcoin.
He supports freedom in currency.
It's a currency born in the market place.
It doesn't use any coercion of law to operate.
Therefore, he's in complete support.

However, for him to endorse its use, most likely it would
be too technical for Ron to really get interested.

After 10 years, he will probably be dead.
He dosen't need to promote it, he counld just prove that he's not living in 150 years ago.

The internet too, 100 years minimum before I'll be comfortable using it.

oh wow, slightly related: http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/t1ygb/iama_nobel_prizewinning_economist_and_new_york/

Yes. Thank you.

Krugman says things that make me think there's no possible way he can be intelligent, educated and in any way knowledgeable and actually believe those things.

The polls are definitely fixed...who the hell would vote for Romney can't you tell he just looks and sounds like a corrupt person. Ron Paul is the only person who represents the people running for President.

It's always nice to see someone point out fallacies :D

Which polls?  Ron wins all the independent ones...  Attendance at his speeches is about a factor 10 larger than the next most popular candidate, right?  Internet presence more like a factor 20 lead in support?   He's always had the majority of active military support even mainstream media can't hide that right? 

just ask google: 
"mitt romney wins poll"  - 7 results
"ron paul wins poll" - 27,700 results

Will be interesting to see what all these RP delegates will do in Tampa :)

It's not that it's too technical for Ron, nor is it true that he is unaware of it's existance.  I know that he has, at least, been introduced to it.  As has his son Rand.  Bitcoin is as dangerous a topic for a US politcal official as anything else, and one that need not be addressed.  The campaign could no more accept donations in bitcoin than it could accept donations in Euros; or for that matter, US Federal Reserve notes in person.  It's the campaign finance & reporting laws that get into the way.  Ron has made is opinion on alternative & competitive currencies well known, so he would be neither for nor against bitcoin.

I lold

Nice one.  ;)

I'll do it for 1BTC/hour  ;)

You mean we need a decade to see the Bitcoin exchange rate reach 15000 dollars?
