I have a biology degree, okay?
Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.), in remarks at the Lincoln Labs Reboot Congress conference, Feb. 12, 2015
This column has been updated with an additional explanation by Pauls spokesman.
We first spotted a version of this quote in a Bloomberg column by David Weigel, and then checked the quotes with our colleague Jose DelReal, who had attended the conference.
This is a bit of an odd one, given that Paul does not have a college undergraduate degree.
Paul mentioned his alleged degree at the conference not once, but twice. First, in an exchange with TechCrunch founder Michael Arrington, Paul said:
Arrington: Lets talk about economics because maybe you can actually explain this to me. I have an econ degree which means I know just enough not to understand any of what our government is [inaudible]
Paul: Mines in biology and English so this is going to be a great conversation.
Then, later in the conversation, expounding on what he considered the virtues of Bitcoin, Paul said:
This is just me. I have a biology degree, okay? But with Bitcoin my concern always was whether or not something has real value. So I could imagine a kind of coin that was exchangeable. This gets back to the whole idea, does money have to be exchangeable for something to be of value?

Rand Paul speaks at a rally in Sarasota on Saturday.
SARASOTA Republican Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul, sounding every bit like a presidential candidate, wrapped up two days of Florida campaigning on Saturday by urging Republicans to boldly go where we have not gone before and reach out to young people, minorities and poor and working-class voters.
Paul has drawn distinctions between himself and Florida favorites Jeb Bush and Marco Rubio.
Its similar to the message former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush and Sen. Marco Rubio have been delivering in their presidential explorations. But while Bush and Rubio stress economic opportunity, the libertarian Paul says privacy rights and a non-interventionist foreign policy should be part of the appeal as well.
At the Orange County GOP Lincoln Day dinner on Friday night in Orlando, Paul called for sentencing reform, saying tough penalties for drug offenses disproportionately hurt minorities and were mistaken if we dont understand it.
