Ron Paul has been defending Bitcoin (BTC) for a long period of time. The politician has been a strong critic of the fiscal policies in the United States and has also attacked the Federal Reserve.

In a recent conversation with CNBC, he said that he likes competing currencies because the government always want to have control over the market. Mr. Paul commented that he doesn’t know what will happen to cryptocurrencies but he considers that they are a great idea.

In the upcoming Litecoin Summit, several technical and business experts in the cryptocurrency space and other industries will be talking about Litecoin. Ron Paul is expected to talk about the influence of virtual currencies in the financial market and how governments are trying to discourage their usage.

Tim Draper, Mati Greenspan, and Nick Merten will also be present at the Summit.
