Politicians who support bitcoin...
« on: July 28, 2015, 12:17:03 PM »
Hey. Just seen today's CoinTelegraph article about US Presidential candidate Gary Johnson (Libertarian) accepting bitcoin for his “Fair Debates” lawsuit against the official presidential debates’ two-party monopoly.

I remember over the time I've seen a dozen of politics supporting crypto or accepting bitcoin and sometimes even altcoin donation. I'm posting the their names in this thread, along with the source of the info. Any contribution is appreciated!

    Gulnar Hasnain: Gulnar Hasnain, a Green Party candidate running for Vauxhall, a district in Central London, became the first mainstream political candidate to accept bitcoin in the UK earlier this year.

    Hoping to raise £1,000, Hasnain was taking donations from individuals using Onename and micro-tipping tool ChangeTip.
