Not surprising. We have very strict donation caps, which crypto could/would just completely sidestep.
What about “donations” from Northern Bank…?
Too new fangled for our political dinosaurs is all.
Sure you can’t even feel the weight of a good stuffed brown envelope weighing down your suit pocket with that crypto malarkey.
Brown envelopes still gladly accepted.
Makes no sense. Bitcoin isn’t anonymous, all transactions can be viewed on the blockchain. Means donations and their sources would be visible to the world. Thats surely a good thing
Why would we accept it and be at the heart of innovation
Most people heavily invested in crypto seem to believe in the destruction of central banks and of government-issued currency so it makes complete sense that the state would want to stop that sort of influence from creeping into our politics here.
