First U.S. Congress Member Reveals Owning Bitcoin, Ethereum

in #bitcoin6 years ago

Cryptocurrencies have made their way up in the high ranks of US politics. Congressman Bob Goodlatte filed his annual Financial Disclosure Statement on May 10, disclosing that he owns between $17,000 and $80,000 in digital currencies.

This article seems to imply that someone in Congress has a brain, this is shocking and breaking news, lol. I love the range that he owns, somewhere between $17k and $80k, that's a pretty big range. I know most of these guys are multi millionaires, but $80k is not an insignificant amount. And he probably has more then that...

Also, Ron Paul said he’s in favor of legalizing alternative currencies so long as they are not used for fraudulent purposes. What does that mean, if one person does something illegal with a bitcoin then it must be banned? I don't get his thinking on this....

All over the world lot of politicians holds bitcoin, in coming days it all disclosed by every one

You're probably right, they would know best that their currency is worthless, lol
