Digital Currency is More About Freedom says Texas Congressman

Representative Steve Stockman, R-Texas, announced Wednesday that his Senate campaign will accept bitcoins — or digital currency — as campaign donations.

With the announcement, Stockman is entering a gray area of campaign finance. In November, the Federal Election Commission considered the question of whether political campaigns can accept bitcoins, but failed to reach a decision.

On Wednesday Stockman visited Bitcoin Center NYC, where he said, “I really think digital currency is more about freedom … Freedom to choose what to do with your money and freedom to keep your money without people influencing it through printing money or through regulation.”
