Former presidential candidate and congressman Ron Paul has been more outspoken about government oversight concerning Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies in the last week, calling on people to “be vigilant.”
In an episode of the Stephan Livera podcast released on Sunday, Paul said he was just as worried about authorities coming to “confiscate” his gold as he was about the confiscation of crypto assets. The libertarian noted that there had been instances of people "taking crypto that they shouldn't" but seemingly placed the blame for any potential fraud in the future on the government.
