"I am Satoshi." - Al Gore  He's looking into a way to pay for carbon-credits with BTC, I'm sure. Saving polar bears too, can't forget the polar bears.... |

I think this is probably BS. On the other hand its very interesting if true, especially given what is claimed he said in that second quote. After Rush and the ClimateGate email leaker mention bitcoin, someone on the "other team" would need to mention as well to prevent the politicization of it.

I don't think Albert would be happy with Bitcoin if he realized how much the climate changed in my house with all the 5830s I've run.

Guys. I'm totally being super duper cereal right now! But really, Al Gore must be a pretty clever guy if he understands what Bitcoin is bringing to the world. I'm surprised, as I've always envisioned politicians as dinosaurs with tiny, floppy arms, with vision so poor they can't see another few minutes ahead of them. Are the two Paul's interested in Bitcoin as well? |

I'm not surprised. Popular misquote aside, he did a lot to ensure the Internet was well-funded in its infancy, which required a lot of vision. Now he sees Bitcoin and thinks it's going to be another game-changer. Smart guy. |

If he had enough foresight to know what would become of the Internet, and he supports Bitcoin, it's amazing he didn't get elected. But even the mighty defender of the Internet Ron Paul didn't get elected. Fishy, fishy. |

Some would say he did get elected. [Clearly, their opinion didn't matter.] He didn't support Bitcoin at the time, though. Maybe that would have made the difference |

I thought the idea of a younger Al Gore saying "I invented the Internet...AND BITCOIN!" in front of a confused audience was hilarious. He'd follow this up by saying "Also, remember to google my twitter feed or tumblr" |

Al Gore: "I'm a big fan of BitCoin." This is the most dastardly attack yet launched on Bitcoin by the powers that be. Throwing Al Gore at something is their way of getting people to stop liking it. |

Assuming its true, I think its one of the sort of quotes that can mean anything! If Bitcoin takes off, he can prove he was ahead of the curve. If its sinks, he can say that while he liked the idea, he knew it wouldn't work! Its vague enough to not get into trouble - sign of a great politician!  |
*Image Removed* I use Localbitcoins to sell bitcoins for GBP by bank transfer!
