Ron Paul’s 90th Birthday Spurs $100K Freedom Dollar Donation

Supporters of the cryptocurrencies zano (ZANO) and freedom dollar (fUSD) donated $100,000 to honor Dr. Ron Paul’s 90th birthday, bolstering the ongoing Ron Paul Money Bomb initiative.

Zano-Based Freedom Dollar Group Backs Ron Paul With $100K

The donation celebrates Ron Paul’s lifelong advocacy for sound money and individual liberty. Paul, a former U.S. congressman and presidential candidate, is a revered figure in libertarian circles for his decades-long stance against government overreach and fiat currency systems. He turned 90 on August 9.

Freedom Dollar (fUSD) is a decentralized stablecoin operating on the Zano blockchain. Designed to embody Paul’s principles, it offers a privacy-focused alternative to traditional payment systems, using advanced cryptography to obscure transaction details. It maintains a stable value pegged to the U.S. dollar.

Zano is a privacy-centric blockchain developed by former Monero creators. It utilizes ring signatures, stealth addresses, and confidential transactions to hide sender, receiver, amount, and asset type by default. Its hybrid consensus mechanism (Proof-of-Work/Zarcanum Proof-of-Stake) prioritizes security and scalability.

In the announcement release shared with Bitcoin.com News, an fUSD supporter stated:

“Ron Paul has spent his life fighting for financial freedom and the right to transact without interference. fUSD embodies these values in the digital era, giving people a private, borderless way to hold and transfer value. This $100K donation is our way of honoring Dr. Paul’s legacy and showing that the movement for freedom is alive and thriving.”

The funds support the Ron Paul Money Bomb campaign, a recurring fundraising effort for causes aligned with Paul’s philosophy of limited government and monetary freedom.
