melissa: all right.itcoin is taking the market by storm and causing controversy and uncertainty the world over. could bitcoin be the death of the dollar? former u.s. congressman and presidential candidate ron paul is here with his take in a first on fox business interview. it is great to have you back on the show, congressman. what do you think of bitcoin? >> well i think it's a mystery to a lot of people and there is a lot of mystery associated with it to me as well because i can't quite describe to you exactly what a bitcoin looks like or what it is all about but it is an interesting phenomenon and very attractive to libertarians because it sort of fits this category of competing currencies. if we have a replacement for the dollar, it will be because somebody at the federal reserve destroyed the value of the dollar and therefore something has to take its place and you know, if you look at the last 100 years the fed has been working on it. 98% of the value of the dollar is gone. melissa: especially late
