Bitcoin Ignites Ron Paul's Parallel Currency Revolution
When Ron Paul invited me to testify in Congress in 2012 on the topic of “parallel currencies,” the idea was still perceived as rather eccentric. I pointed out that most people in the world were already using multiple currencies, usually a domestic junk fiat currency such as the Peruvian nuevo sol, and an international currency like the dollar or euro.
Since then, Bitcoin has awakened people worldwide to the fact that Ron Paul and I have known for years: that governments don’t have a monopoly on currency creation, and that you can have a great many non-government currencies if you want.
