I don't believe what this old man is saying. Bitcoin is the only real currency.

Thats why he was cheated in going for presidency, no one believes him.

There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are full nodes like Bitcoin Core, but full nodes are more resource-heavy, and they must do a lengthy initial syncing process. As a result, lightweight clients with somewhat less security are commonly used.
Advertised sites are not endorsed by the Bitcoin Forum. They may be unsafe, untrustworthy, or illegal in your jurisdiction.

Plenty of people comprehend Ron Pauls message.
But there are even more people with fluoride addled brains who can not comprehend what he says; they're just intellectually lazy. Also brainwashed.

It is a store of value and a very convenient and secure mean of exchange that cannot be printed to death by politicians interested in being re-elected and controlling other at the price of war and dispair

The key words to all this are "78 year old".
I don't blame someone for whom the internet is still novelty to not understand/trust bitcoin.
Those who do are visionaries.

Same in a way can be said about gold. So it's fine in my opinion. Many politicians don't want to accept the fact that Bitcoin is real because it does not have a bank at the head of it.

May they continue to underestimate bit coin. The tipping point is not that far away.

You can not say that though. From a 3rd party perspective, you would sound crazy and it's not exactly a convincing standpoint.

He likes something you can "hold in your hand." Classic Goldbugger! Gotta love him though. Ron Paul - the grandpa of the nation.

Ron Paul is an old fart. I guess he was sort of a gateway into libertarianism for some people, and therefore important (....I guess), but his opinion doesn't matter. He's painted as a crazy, anyway.

Many also do not understand Bitcoin. They also associate it with nefarious things like SR.

The more companies that accept it successfully (read: jobs in a congressman's district) the more credibility it will get.

They will call anyone crazy who would argue against free money, who does that.   Hold out your hand and shut up, RP is definitely crazy cranky old man who just dont get how clever all this new government policy really is.   Debt is money now, the more debt there is the richer the nation becomes
Ron Paul was arguing against Nixon's and various other disastrous changes from the start.   Dismiss him if you want just because its easiest to do so, solid money by contrast is pointless work in comparison

I don't mind that gold continues to be money, even in the optimistic case of bitcoin taking over. Gold is sufficiently different to bitcoin that it has a reason for existence. Gold is not an aimless altcoin.

Nefarious? Silkroad is revolutionary and something every true libertarian should approve. For the first time in history, people can buy and sell anything from each other  without approval from any third party. Not the government, not a bank, not a creditcard - processor. Without meeting IRL. Like a free market is supposed to work. I was a little surprised when I heard RP didn't believe in btc. A libertarian should believe in a technology that makes that possible. A technology that additionally has the potential to take away power from the govts in many, many other ways (watch Stefan Molyneux vid on YouTube called Bitcoin vs political power you who haven't)

Gold hasn't become a store of value for no reason : people like it because it is shinny, beautiful and has amazing physical properties very convenient in jewellery or industry!

Bitcoin isn't a store of value for no reason : it is very easy to store it, move it or transfer it!
