He had mixed opinions on Bitcoin, and anecdotally mentioned that Bernanke spoke favorably about Bitcoin, but never about gold/silver. He also cited Mises' regression theorem as a defense of a commodity-backed currency. He did say that he hopes Bitcoin plays a role in taking down the FED, and that maybe he doesn't understand enough about it to make an informed decision. http://video.foxbusiness.com/v/2916084919001?cmpid=cmty_twitter_fbUPDATE: He also had an interview on CNN: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L2gvNKTNJJo

Wow, love this forum. If at all possible, could someone record it and maybe upload it to youtube? I'd love to see what he says. I'm quite a big fan of Ron Paul even though I'm not an American.

I'm sure somebody will. Interested what he has to say on the matter. The last I heard him speak on Bitcoin he wasn't too keen on it.

Prediction: he'll say it's interesting as a free market competitive money, but will also say that gold is better.

Bitcoin is the first monetary system to credibly offer perfect information to all economic participants.

You can watch it all over again, or just about I'd bet. He's on CNN as well, in 30minutes at 7:45pm EST to discuss Bitcoin.

Is Rand Paul also having the same opinion about the Bitcoin as Ron? Rand can take up the issue of Bitcoin regularization / recognition in the US Senate.

Awesome video, thanks very much. I wonder if he secretly is buying bitcoins, and didn't want to get too excited on the news, just to keep the price down for a bit longer, so he can buy more xD
