Can you, the reader, substitute Bitcoin for Gold in this statement made by a pre-sellout Alan Greenspan?

Most of you know the story of Africa's great jewel.
Zimbabwe, presided over by the charming, charismatic, democratically elected leader Robert Mugabe.

Rand Paul (R-Kentucky) to push legislation through both the House and the Senate that would bar federal agencies from using taxpayer-backed funds to provide weapons, training, intelligence, or any other type of support to terrorist cells such as al-Qaeda, ISIS, or any other group that is associated with them in any way.
