I like Ron Paul but isn’t this kinda common sense?

Ron Paul's libertarian revolution became a lot less relevant after President Trump cut the taxes for many hard working, middle income families by 80%.

Abolishment of the FED is always relevant for an honest society.

Which is why bitcoin and crypto is becoming so popular. Look at the stock market, you have to put money in which may or may not go up, but if it goes down you lose it all. How the fuck is that not theft? And how can someone look at such a system, and proclaim that it is not ripe for abuse? Crypto currency may have its flaws, but its a solution to a problem that would not exist, if we stopped letting (((them))) control our money supply

I made similar comment amen brother.. Every science fiction book I've read there is something akin to crypto currency.. It will happen and I'm glad I got in some what early.. Kinda pissed considering how much science fiction I read that I didn't get in earlier.

They're probably trying to smear him by making him look stupid or something, destroy his credibility and ridicule him into oblivion.

They thought the same before the French Revolution too, I'm sure.

I'm hoping crypto keeps going up.. And it becomes used more widely take the power from banks and goverments.. I think crypto will sky rocket if there is another big crash.. Which there will be sooner then later..

I hope that is true but reality seems to point to they will find a way to get governments to intervene and make laws against it so they are able to monopolize it like they do with everything else.

I cant argue with you, I honestly feel the same way if it can be fucked up goverments will find a way to fuck it up in the most hypocritical way while some how lining their own pockets as well.

This sounds like a half truth. They may actually have ways to turn a profit, since they control the financial system in the first place.

Ron Paul has been yapping for over 40 years... has he accomplished anything in that time?
