Senator Ted Cruz Is Bringing Bitcoin To The Capitol With Vending Machines By BtcCasey Sen. Ted Cruz has proposed a resolution to request vendors within the Capitol area to accept bitcoin. The resolution specifically mentions restaurants, gift shops, and vending machines within Capitol Buildings to accept cryptocurrencies such as bitcoin, which would allow lawmakers to purchase their succulent sweets with sound money.
Sen. Cruz is a known advocate for bitcoin, praising its decentralization, and he's even championed the potential benefits for Texas as a state in the bitcoin mining industry.
If the resolution passes, it could serve as the first exposure for Capitol politicians to using BTC as a daily payment method and shift their perspectives towards cryptocurrencies. The resolution needs to pass both the House and Senate to take effect. |
