Bitcoin Forum

DO you know that even some of the so called politicians have secret investments in Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies that no one may be aware of? I believe this is one of the reasons why some of them have double stand when it comes to taking decisions on the adoption or regulation of cryptocurrency. Some of them are scared of publicly supporting crypto. What do you think?

There are many people have invested in bitcoin. What's the problem if politicians invest in bitcoin too? They also have the right to invest in bitcoin. They also have the right to not disclose this.

If nobody is aware, how do you know so? lol

Do you know any politician with a double face when it's about cryptocurrency? Can you post a link here that I can read? Or it's just some bla bla bla

I think it is not a big discovery for people. Unfortunately a lot of countries have not so fair politicians that can steal money from the state's budget. Moreover I don't think that it is a big deal because they understand the perspective future of cryptos

Yes, of course I also think just like you that not a few politicians are involved in investing in cryptocurrency, of course there are many reasons for them to play here.
Among them is that they know that investing here is the safest place and is also very good for the future and can also avoid the spotlight of their government.
so there's no denying that many naughty politicians save their money here and participate in bitcoin games.
This digital world is very free but it is also safe in my opinion so anyone who is here privacy is very awake.

Yes of course, many of our politicians have secret way of keeping money. in order for them to avoid money laundering they secretly invest in cryptocurrency. politicians pretend a lot, they live in luxury. They cannot be discovered by their government.

I don't know whether politicians invest. Do you recognize politicians who invest? but this could happen for politicians who participated in the crypto world

It is no wonder if any Politian owns Bitcoin. Because this is not a crime for almost every big countries and nowadays more countries are recognizing it. And I think owning the BTC is very clever decision taken by them

Well, it is very possible that some politicians has invested in Bitcoin. Bitcoin is the best investment and certainly the politicians too has the right to go for it if they like. Besides it is their wish if they want to keep it a secret.

I am sure many politicians have "off the record" investments in a variety of economic markets, Bitcoin included.

Off course who would go and trouble themselves with their political career over crypto currencies? But one thing is for sure, they do own crypto currencies in the similar fashion they own black money in the Swiss bank accounts! Talk about the countries like India where there are scams of 4 to 10 billions dollars from a single person who is having political background. We would never know if these politician are the one who is manipulating this market or they are the one who are also part of whales club. One thing however is sure from this, at least crypto currencies will be in the talks for very long time and it wont go down at all until pelicans feed their hunger. So we get the free ride to earn more until then.  ;D

it is a free market and everyone is free to choose where they invest their money, it can be stocks, it can be in their mattress where they sleep at night, or it can be in bitcoin. you can't call it a "secret investment" just as you can't call it a secret investment when they have shares of some company and not telling the public about it. why should they? will you tell us how much money YOU have and all the places that you have put it?

as for their stance, the politicians are known to have unreliable stance against things that are still in grey area meaning not fully regulated nor fully rejected. they don't want to be left in a camp that fails.

I guess bitcoin investment is not a bad thing, everyone can invest in bitcoin as long as they have capital and investment is not seen through the position everyone has the right to invest

Obviously some politicians own crypto. This is absolutely positive for the space, as this will cause good regulation in stead of bans. I like to see bitcoin and crypto in general as one big octopus. It spreads it’s tentacles everywhere and will eventually be so big and widely spread that it can’t be ignored anymore

when bitcoin adoption grows, people from different parts of society are going to buy bitcoin. it is like saying back in 1990s that even politicians own a personal computer! obviously adoption of computers was similar, at first only a handful of people owned it, then more people joined in and eventually as of today nearly everyone owns a PC.

you just described a politician. remove the words "bitcoin and cryptocurrency" from quoted text above and it can describe a politician's stance about anything else.

Politicians, Bankers, Businessmen and women, sportsmen and women! You name it! Everyone has an investment in bitcoin. But the secrecy held by the same people attempting to fight bitcoin (Politians) is so great! Even In china I believe those fighting against bitcoin have the greatest investment in bitcoin! Always pushing FUD to us, making weak hands tremble and dump for them to mop them up! I won't be surprised if bitcoin eventually hits $50,000 someday!! In the words of warren buffet "The stock market is a tool for transferring wealth from the Impatient to the patient" In this space the impatient and the weak at heart are usually worse hit! Those who make the markets; businessmen and politicians are controlling the markets, chosing carefully and investing secretly because the impatient are falling for their tricks

Politicians -- like anyone else -- would be silly not to own some Bitcoin. Congressman Bob Goodlatte disclosed that he owned BTC and ETH in his last annual financial disclosure. I'm sure others will join him by next year.

Supposedly 5-10% of people in the US own some cryptocurrency at this point, so I'd expect more and more public officials -- and other such dinosaurs -- to start buying in as well.

Actually This market is open for all anyone can invest here based on this as long as their concept and if their intention is clear then it will be great for this market also I don't see any problem if politicians invest here.

Yes, many politicians are already investing on cryptocurrency. Cryptocurrency is the best way to invest and earn money. Moreover, the transaction offers anonymously in this platform.

politicians may have their investments on cryptocurrencies.They put an invements in bitcoins aside from having a real estate investment.Some politicians are now studying the nature of cryptocurrencies and other altcoins and have a number of them.Until these local legislators are decide to legalized the used of bitcoins.

lol same thought, If its secret investment how does he know about it?  ;D

Bitcoin is a digital money, it is known as an anonymity. All transactions of bitcoin are secure and thanks to the internet. Bitcoin has many benefits, many politicians know the benefits of bitcoin. They secretly invest in bitcoin to make a profit because their government does not accept bitcoin.

It’s really hard to find a real political in this world. Nowadays the politicians only think about their own. They don’t want that people will come to know about the crypto coins because the use of traditional cryptocurrency will be less and the politicians won’t make a profit.

In the USA, such hiding investments are no more. A new law compels every politician to disclose every asset he/ she has including crypto-assets. The world is gradually accepting this cryptocurrency and there is no need to hide again.

I do not see anything surprising, but if this is true, I regret that such politicians are few. If there were more of them, they would lobby for adoption of bitcoin by states.

the cryptocurrency market is a decentralized market so even politicians  celebrities anyone  can invest in cryptocurrency market they dont need to reveal which coins they hold

of course. the bitcoin is very worth it if you know how to manage or how to do earnings using investment in bitcoin. like they said. if you have an big investment the chances of high earnings are very high. but also the risk is also big. but the only problem is the other politicians steal mpney from people .

Well, is not something new anymore because it something that is glaring that most of the politician are into crypto currency but what they do is lie and hide about their involvement which they later open to the public after they leave the office. An example is Trump Ex-Chief Strategist Bannon.

Of course ... I even think that a very solid percentage of large holders of bitcoin and other crypto-currencies is exactly politics. This is for them just an ideal option to save the stolen money. Almost everywhere in the world, crypto-currencies are not a monetary asset ... therefore it is very convenient to transfer savings there. Than many also are engaged.

This is nothing new to me as many bigg whales are appointed for this investment. These are the big whales who come in with big investment and make a fortune and go off from the market and  come back again when the bears are in progress. This is what I am seeing for the last few years now  and this has become routine. I would only tell investors to invest wisely and choose the suitable portfolios and decide whne to enter and when to leave the market.

That's correct.
Bitcoin  structure makes it easy for politicians and others who ply illegal activities,  to hide their loots using bitcoin.
You know,  there's no way of tracing bitcoin wallet account to the owner offline..... so these politicians prefer using it even to launder money.

Absolutely, they always speak evil about it whenever they are outside to deceive and deter others but in their private chambers they invest hugely in it. That is it these politicians are always trying plays us around. Just open your eyes and do what your instinct tells you, that will even be much better that paying attention to the political talks of others.

Hi, everybody. I do not know whether the policies are investing in bitcoin but maybe, most likely Yes.

There is nothing wrong with that, since everyone is allowed to join and invest in bitcoin. They also have the rights to invest so why not? They just get the opportunity to invest and I think that is one of their best decision. If they invest secretly, how come you know about this? There were so many investors in bitcoin and every single one of them has a good role in bitcoin.

Cryptocurrency industry is open to all. There are people who got rich by investing in digital coins. The hype of cryptocurrency lingers few years back. For sure, there are politicians who can afford to invest big time have invested too. The hype brought them here.

This is not even a speculation. Many powerful personalities around the world have surely invested in Bitcoin. Remember that these are smart individuals who are always hungry for profit. As smart as they are, they have surely seen the great profit potential of Bitcoin even far ahead in the future. And when it comes to patience, they have tons of it.

I am well aware of that and I also know that many celebrities who are rich, invest in bitcoin. For me, they are scared of the publicity because they have their own reputations and logically speaking, everyone has, even bitcoin. Nonetheless, if they all agree to support bitcoin, bitcoin will be considered once again as a reliable asset. Because of that, the market will be full of hype and the pumping of alt coins will commence.

I have no facts but its possible that some politicians might have secretly invested on Bitcoin and cryptos. Is a double edge sword, other politicians wages war against crypto but behind they have stash huge amount in wallet.

I think not only politicians though, but there might be people lurking here trying to put down bitcoin but at the back side, once the price fall, they secretly accumulating more and they love to spread FUD around so that they can buy more when the price is at a discount.

https://cointelegraph.com/news/us-republican-democrat-officials-calling-for-crypto-regulation-in-rare-show-of-unity

Maybe some of those supporters have bitcoin stash already.  ;D

there are contries that are 100% agree to cryptocurrency like venezuela and iran. in near time, most of the countries will have its own cryptocurrency and it is undeniably true. this early adaptor politicians are lucky because they have known the knowledge before the masses.

Yeah of course because of anonymity these politicians could have the courage to invest will made it as their asset but could not be declare in their SALN's. This is the better way to hide one's wealth. However, i do not think that there are many politicians here since the system is not yet that familiar all over the world and maybe there are only few here who have done investing on cryptocurrency.

yeah maybe.
They're hiding their stealing money to a crypto so no one can track em :D
But to be legaly, bitcoin is still need more improvement, people won't invest in bitcoin as their main invesment because it's too risky

Off course why not. Politicians are most corrupted people in the world and you take any government in the world there has to be X% of people within that political circle who are very much corrupted.
So where does that corruption leads to ? Well off course hiding all of their wealth into the bitcoin currency which is the prime location for such people these days. Who knows some of them might just be money laundering with the help of bitcoin and leaving behind no clues at all. They do get huge money through donations, fund raisers, central treasury, bribes and much more. So there is huge possibility that to hide such kind of money they will always use the bitcoin and do the corruption.

I agree with you. The politicians are already in this field just like everyone else. They can secretly invest in cryptocurrency without letting other people know as everything occurs anonymously in this platform. It is best way to earn money and to store coins.

As long their intentions are clear and that they can invest in the market properly and at the same time can stay in the long run, there seems to be no problem with politicians investing in the crypto.

That is true. Not only a politician but also some big personalities like businessman and artist .
Because they also want an income that easy to gain.

This doesnt surprise me at all. What a great way as we know to ferret
away some FIAT money into bitcoin and hide it away from the government,
banks and the wife!

I cannot take any precautions against politicians who are involved in investing in cryptocurrency, because cryptocurrency is created openly and anyone can invest here, so including those politicians are not prohibited from investing in cryptocurrency

The problem is you are claiming that politicians own Bitcoin. But there is no proof about it or any article regarding this information. I know it is true but you can give statement without proof in a public group

Well politicians taste the first fruit of every development done by civilians. This is their power. So there should be no surprise if they deal with Bitcoin and I think this is very futuristic decision of course

I'm sure like that, some politicians will definitely invest in crypto but they keep it a secret because the regulations in their country don't give permission to crypto

It is possible that there are politicians that have investment in bitcoin. I think governments always banned bitcoin because they are afraid that the terrorist in that country can use bitcoin in illegal things.

Politicians are men of interests too. If there is no law against investing on Bitcoin for them then I guess it is okay for them to make investment on Bitcoin. They have right to invest on anything legal.

There seems to be nothing wrong with politicians taking part in the crypto market. If they have the capabilities and the resources, then there seems to be nothing wrong with it.

No will make a big deal out of it if investing on Bitcoin is legal in their government. Most people try to invest to make profit with their money. If politicians try to do it, I don’t see anything wrong with that.

There is a senator  I knew in our country who invested in cryptocurrency preferably own an altcoin but it isn't a secret. Thus, his popularity helps than coin to be known and promoted by him which makes it to encourage more people to invest on a cryptocurrency, too.

Oh yes! they do have some substantial amount of investments in cryptocurrencies in general not necessarily bitcoin and i think they are trying to play smart on us  by making it seem that it is about to collapse. As soon as most of us sell to them then boom they make it boom so that they earn huge profits.

Actually everyone has the right to invest on a legal platform. If Bitcoin is legal and accepted in their country, I guess making investment is not a problem. But if they use corrupted money to invest, that would be a problem.

Yes That's why iam think all of the riches people on this world was investing in crypto currencies 

well everyone has the same right to invest in crypto, maybe there is one of the politicians that see crypto is a good thing and he can help it to be legalized, as we know some of the countries has banned the bitcoins and crypto

Maybe they have different reason why they hide their self that they habe investment to cryptocurrency. But the important with that is those politicians who have invested to cryptocurrency are not want to ban bitcoin and altcoins to your country. Because we know other politicians want to ban cryptocurrency to their country.

yes there is lots and lots of people are out their who have invested on here so it is obvious that political people can be also part of it, it is wonderful to know that all kinds of people are being part of it and showing faith over the market and it system

Yes, I think there is totally nothing wrong if the politicians are just investing their own money into bitcoins from their monthly paychecks, if the government of the country have already granted the crypto-currencies exchanges the legal documents and proper license to operate in that country, it would meant that everyone have their own freedom to invest in that platform as long as they follow the proper requirements set by that exchange.

Yeah, Nobody knows is politics manage bitcoin secretly? But if that's true it will be a big news in the world. They who reject bitcoin but manage bitcoin secretly for world or for themselves.

ut us obvious that cryptocurrencies are emerging and even countries like iran and venezuela maximize the use of it. politicians are using cryptocurrencies to dodge the usd global financial crisis happening anytime soon! gold and cryptos are good hedgefund!

I don't think it is a big issue if politicians have invested into cryptocurrency as it is also their right to invest into anything they want for as long as it not harmful in their government. For as long as it is their own money not from the money of the people they are governing. It is also their way of making money which is what we are also doing so for me I don't see any issue about this.

is it true? that the politicians is have the bitcoin investment? I think they believe in bitcoin but they use it secretly and don't tell anyone about their investment, maybe if their investment success they will tell other people with the bitcoin ivnestment

no offense but some people may not take it positively cause political people basically have a bad reputation so the world can say that they are using crypto for hiding their illegal money but if you take it in positive way then will understand how secure this place actually is

political people are many people role models so if they are trusting this place and having faith on it so I think we can also depends innit and invest on bitcoin, it is a good scope for earning profit

Everyone are welcome to invest in cryptocurrency regardless of your position in life. Those politicians are also businessman and investors and I'm sure they will not left behind in investing cryptocurrency as they can invest without exposing their identity.

Yes, because I believe bitcoin will provide benefits and can be trusted by anyone, including politicians and other general public

I don't doubt the fact that most of the politicians and those occupying governmental positions have invested in Bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies. Most of these politicians are aware of the benefits of using cryptocurrency but do not want to announce it to the public because they fear the power cryptocurrency give to the people in terms of owning absolute control over their own transactions without any middle man interruption.

I think this is not new news, I know that many politicians have crypto assets.

My country's government bans the crypto world, but the government members have a lot of bitcoin assets. even some information is that many banks store assets in Ripple.

Yes most of politicians is holding bitcoin in bulk quantities because they know this is the safest system to secure their fund and they can convert their black money in bitcoins and governments can't track it. because they know the value of bitcoin and this cryptocurrency future is bright. politicians is biggest threats to this financial system and crypto is good opportunity to make their bright future.  in India income tax department can't find these kind of transaction because they can hold millions of bitcoins in small hardware wallet or online wallet.  

Bitcoin has a great potential for value in terms of value and price volatility of this unit in recent times, with its own characteristics of economic and technological phenomena. Bitcoins are worth 10 times their real value so in the future it will likely increase much more than current prices. We have not really found a way to value electronic money units like Bitcoin. So that's why politicians always look at Bitcoin.

those who invest are those who embezzle state funds so that they are not detected, for example, "Panama pappers". They do not want the state to know their assets given for bitcoin investment. this will make bitcoin more expensive in the eyes of the world.

this can happen. Because no one knows you are investing in bitcoin. Even politicians are well aware of the benefits of bitcoin. Hopefully they will realize the benefits of bitcoin and have a more favorable regulation for bitcoin in their country.

Wow this is an interesting idea and I hope they can help this system to be implemented world wide. With that kind of fact that is being said it's just an amazing thing because we all know that a lot of government is against it. Well then I have a big respect for those types of politicians because basically we have common interest.

Well basically this is an amazing story that needs to be told because we all know what is the state of bitcoin when it comes to politics. It's just a nice story and idea that there are some who still have trust in this system. I just want to send my regards to them and hopefully they can encourage their fellow politicians.

Anyone can invest in crypto curancy, and this is very personal without anyone knowing about their participation. even politicians seem to be drawn to this investment because they understand that this investment is so profitable and can avoid their government's attention. so there is no denying that many rogue politicians save their money here and participate in bitcoin games. in my opinion, the investment is here privacy is very awake.

they just like we want to make money on bitcoin here is the usual explanation why they buy crypto currency

Of course who has many can invest to the BTC and politicians also. They want to have more money like other traders do. This is a life.

Bitcoin now more popular and useable. it is decentralization that's why everybody invest here.politician also have the right to invest in bitcoin and they also have right to not disclose this.

Everyone has a secret investment in cryptos, so I think also some politician has... Maybe any SEC member too? :D Who knows...
But it's not so strange if it is...

U.S congress have declared their crypto currencies holding maybe this is good for crypto community as there are politician who support and believe crypto currency it only shows that even politicians are patronizing  bitcoin not so publicly but secretly.

I think that doesn't matter, politicians have a lot of money, and they can control the crypto market and they can be whales, in the end we can benefit from volatility.

everyone can have bitcoin and bitcoin for everyone.

DO you realize that even a portion of the alleged lawmakers have mystery interests in Bitcoin and digital currencies that nobody might know about? I trust this is one reason why some of them have twofold stand with regards to taking choices on the appropriation or direction of digital currency. Some of them are frightened of freely supporting crypto. What do you think?

Bitcoin now more popular and secure. its following decentralization that's why everybody can invest here. that's why politician can invest here. they have right to invest here.

I think it is not a big discovery for people. Unfortunately a lot of countries have not so fair politicians that can steal money from the state's budget. Moreover I don't think that it is a big deal because they understand the perspective future of cryptos

secretly word is perfect here because bitcoin is for all. anyone can invest here. politician are also common people and they are not different from others. politician also want to make more money by using bitcoin.

in cryptomarket there are no vip ,politician person. here all are common people and all have the right in crypto market. i don't feel any problem here.

maximum politician have black money. if they want to white this money by investing cryptomarket. i think this is the great idea. by this they are not face any kind of money laundering case.

Many types of people invest in Bitcoin. I think there is no problem if politicians also invest in it. Everyone has the priority to invest in Bitcoin. If they want to hide it then there is no problem I think.

Everyone is interested in that place where investment is profitable. Since Bitcoin's profits are huge, many people are interested in investment. There also have politicians and other professionals.

This is what i am thinking for how long now,because just like in our country,the president has no exact stand regarding cryptocurrency,from the very moment i have learn crypto this is the same president we have,and he’s government speaks nothing about this and thats why were are a happy cryptonians ever since

we do not know anyone who invests, the anonymity of bitcoin makes everything secret, between traders with other and not knowing each other. Our privacy is very safe here.
maybe corrupt politicians or officials turn their money into bitcoin so that it's not traced.

I'm very quite aware of the that fact most are into Cryptocurrency. It took me by surprise the day I got to know about it but then it's a Decentralized ecosystem for everyone to come on board. I believe though that most are into it to understand how it works for them to make a good decision about it's adoption/regulations.

Not only politicians, economists, players, and many professional people most of them get positive thoughts about bitcoin. And there are many people who have invested in Bitcoin. Because they know it's profitable.

Anyone can invest in Bitcoin, without exception politicians. not a few politicians are involved in investing in Bitcoin, the reason they invest here is to avoid their government's spotlight. They realize that investing here is safe, so anyone who is here privacy is very awake.

The politician investing in the BTC market has now become an open secret of the Crypto-space. Many are investing in gambling sites playing with the BTC and many opening an ICO for the voting campaigns or supporting their party and methodology. There is no restriction or will be over them.

That's good! I think it shows that people believe in bitcoin more than they say about it. Politicians dissolve FUD and at the same time buy coins - it means that btc will live in the future. IMHO

Bitcoin is the best place to hide the unregulated black money and the money invested in it cannot be regulated. So, there is a great opportunity for the congressmen to hide their money safely. I agree with your opinion.

Politicians surely can invest. Nothing wrong with that. Corrupted ones invest more who knows. The more you give to the more they want. Those who are money hungry they surely do investment in different aspects which they find profitable.

It is very normal because politicians also need to pay tax of their income and they also know very well that it is the best investment policy.

It's not illegal. So sure they can invest as long as they have money. Politicians have enough money to invest. who knows where that comes from. There is no forbidden law by the government regarding this.

Yes, of course I also think just like a few politicians are are investing in cryptocurrency.that is a place for investment. Any one can invest here.its not like that Politician are not permission in bit coin investment.it is a safest place for investment.so any one can invest here.

I think every politician has a crypto-wallet.If this is indeed the case then there will never be regulation in cryptocurrency.And it is very pleasing. ;D 8)

Yes it is a true information and I guess most of the politicians invest in crypto because it is safe and no one can detect his currency.

Well there are some politicians who are opportunists and they may have invested in cryptocurrency when they have understand that crypto has a bright future ahead. In my opinion investment in crypto for any of the politician is not something bad or unjust but what makes it grey that they don't talk publicly about crypto. Even if someone is a president, prime minister or a mayor but they should come forward and speak for it. There are rumours of some of the high profile politicians involved in establishing a cryptocurrency exchange in my country and none of them have accepted or denied it till now.

The rich (politicians included)will benefit more from bitcoin if more person are of the illusion that it is not good, when they get hold of the bulk of the coins,they open the doors for the general public to buy at high pirces

I believe some politicians and the world most influential people have invested in the world of crypto. They need to stand up for the world of crypto so bitcoin can widely be  allowed in countries where bans has been placed on this amazing currency so it can be accepted by persons all over the world.

Indeed, you are correct. There are numerous individuals around us who are contributing on digital money without indicating it to open. Digital currency is the most secure approach to contribute your cash and without telling other individuals. Some of them additionally assume part behind the market control.

I didn't have a chance to read anywhere about that but I am pretty sure that some politicians have investments in bitcoin. And why wouldn't they... Politicians are usually people with cash, surrounded with consultants and whether somebody imply to them to invest or they did it buy their own choice, it is always a good, even great decision to invest in something that can bring more on their personal account. And investment in bitcoin surely can do that.

Yes, I know some politicians and celebrities invest in bitcoin, but I am sure they are in loss! Because those people invested when the bitcoin price was sky high and it created a big hype in the world. A lot of people invested in bitcoin for that hype, they thought bitcoin will go 40K, 100K USD in this year! Even John McAfee is losing twitter followers!  ;D , It is normal and good for the crypto market, no need to aware of it.

no matter how bad they publicly discriminate the blockchain technology in nations, even the politicians who publicly criticise and refuse the mass adoption of the technology have in a way or the other come in contact with the technology and have enjoyed the benevolences attached to it. politicians love the anonymous feature the bitcoin has enshrined in its  technology

I do not think that there is an criteria before you invest in bitcoin its a business opened to everybody who is interested and also ready to bear the risk even the economist said that human beings are insatiable so we keeping wanting to have more so its ok for them to invest there is no need hiding

I ever read about this issue that Politicians has important rules in Crypto, they are such a man behind the scene due to the influence of Crypto price. Many Politicians has not a little investment in Botcoin, the are like an control of Crypto price. As I know that there are two kinds of investment in crypto, that centralized and decentralized investment. Most of politicians are investing in centralized crypto, because the centralized crypto is dominated by elite, and they are the politicians.

Do you know that some politicians who are called have secret investments in Bitcoin and cryptocurrency that anyone might not realize? I believe this is one reason for them why some of them have double standing when it comes to making decisions about adoption or regulation of cryptocurrency. Some of them are afraid to openly support crypto. What do you think? Thanks

The fact that many politicians keep bitcoin on their wallets does not surprise me for a long time. I am surprised that what bribes these politicians take and how they transfer this money to their bitcoin wallets. By the way I heard that many politicians take bribes in bitcoins.

It is possible because  even politicians know crypto maybe thats why others against crypto they do not want  to know publicky that they are also using bitcoin. We all know that investing on crypto makes a good profit.

Politicians is elites investor in crypto currency. They are not only investor but they have an important role in rising the price. They can manipulate the price of crypto currency due to the huge number of assets or money they invest in. As we know that crypto has two kinds of investment, that are decentralized and centralized. Politicians invest in centralized because the price can be controlled and manipulated.

Its a proof that when you invest in bitcoin is safe because even the government has already in investing bitcoin cant you see even the higher Government is in to it,  The ethics guidance means the public will soon learn whether members of Congress are among those who’ve been drawn to what’s become a global investment craze. Bitcoin, the most valuable cryptocurrency, was initially embraced by those who were distrustful of banks and government control over monetary policy. But its meteoric rise last year brought the token to the mainstream and has even made digital coins a focus of congressional hearings.

That's not a big deal. Bitcoin is the decentralized platform where anyone can invest on it. So there havn`t no restriction for poiliticians. So it's not a good job to make it issue.

Who invest on bitcoin all are make it secret and bitcoin technology blockchain make sure it's decentralization for avoiding third party. But they show their two stand is not good but it's not a issue to invest on bitcoin by politicians.

The profit from Bitcoin is quite large so people participate in massively. That affects the value of cryptocurrency. Even politicians or tycoons.

Hope you right. But invest on bitcoin is not wrong for the politicians and they can't be protest the goverment issue always because it's protocol. That's why it's happen they need to stand with double face. They will be loyal with bitcoin in future.

That's no big deal at all because it's already expected that they are also investing in bitcoin and cryptocurrencies. I even suspect that some of the wealthy politicians are also holding big amount of bitcoin or even use them for their business and for narco politicians, i bet they are bringing their narco business into the next level too.

Of course! they can invest. whatever, either he be a politician or other professional that's not a fact. Everyone has the right to invest as their will.whoever he is, when one invest, he is just investor.

Maybe, we can not say it was a fact its just a conclusion. However, if ever it is true then I am agree with you. Some politicians did not want to expose themselves if ever crypto become legal. Because it is a big questions for them how, when and why did they have investment in cryptocurrency. All of us here is unknown because we can not expose ourselves here in personal reasons

Bitcoin is a virtual currency known to everyone in the present world. And this is the free market that anybody can do business here So political beings can invest here, it is normal. And one big thing is that political beings have a lot of dishonest money. Which is safe to invest here and there is no account of it. The biggest thing is that Bitcoin is kept confidential. So there is no problem with political beings. Apart from this, some betting companies may love Bitcoin but his government does not accept Bitcoin. It is natural that he will invest Bitcoin on his own. There is no such rule that political beings can not invest here. So I think it's normal. There is no problem in this.

I haven't seen any news where politicians are caught holding Bitcoins though, I might have missed something, but it's plausible. Bitcoin is an opportunity that they shouldn't miss and I think that they are smart enough to invest in this market specially when it's down like this.

Now a Day politics is also become a business many of them have huge business beside the politics and are also a part of or the stakeholders of multinational companies.They also invest in bitcoin to transfer there money with any taxation all over the globe.And for the making the money white.

This may well be a possibility, but if you ask my opinion I would say yes, based on how the system runs and man suffers for the lack of basic amenities and politicians pilfer funds meant for state into private pockets. Yes they may have a channel or conduit or front man who is in it for them. Their routine rant against btc and crypto may be to divert attention to other things or people.

Plenty of them do, it is an open market, and everyone has a choice as to where they invest their money into, but as for you referring to it as a secret, I disagree, not everyone knows what and when you invest your money on, so you don't expect them just because they are a figure in the society to come telling you where they invest their money into.

For some politicians it might be a good idea to keep quiet about it anyway.

And why should they not have investment in the cryptocurrency? They have money, you can invest relatively anonymously, the crypto currency has a potential future. Nothing surprising here even if in public they are against the crypto

Yeah of course they like to invest here in cryptocurrency. This is one way that their asset and liabilities could be broken down so that their wealth could not be traced. As we all know that digital currency or cryptocurrency could not be declare as an asset in their SALN's.

anyone might have a secret investment in bitcoin, does not rule out the possibility if politicians also have it. we don't know who is investing, bitcoin is the crypto market anyone can invest without exception.

Nope it is in their face that the politician does not really against in crypto. It is something more than that when they do not really want cryptocurrency to be acknowledge and for that i have speculated that maybe this politicians have invested already on bitcoin and they do not want that their cryptocurrency would be counted on their SALN it could be hard that the government can trace why you have a lots of money on cryptocurrency.

Politicians are people too, why they can't own cryptocurrency. In some countries politicians even declare number of their coins.

Politicians are humans, and humans like taking advantage of the trending innovation. Some of these will secretly continue for the strengthing of BTC and market sustenance.

you know, I even heard that Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin, is also invested in bitcoin and now controls the market! I'm calm) that it will not fail

and of course there are those who have investments in bitcoin or altcoin it's just that they are behind the scenes because of the state that may still not be legal but if legalized they might be blatant in investing and supporting this sophisticated digital technology

It's totally their own personal fact whether they will invest or not.Anonymity is one of the basic features in Bitcoin, so everyone can invest to make profit. Their all personal information still be hidden.

I don't get any problem if any politician invests in cryptocurrency. They also have the right to invest. It's depending on their choice.They also have the right to keep them anonymous.

If they invest in BTC secretly then how you know that  :D It doesn't still secret now. Well, I am coming on the topic now. There's no need for politicians to keep their investment secret particularly BTC. Even I know few politicians they had invested in Bitcoin. Some of them also kept it secretly but the main thing is that they also involved in BTC circulation.

I think so called politicians, people who have some kind of power, count themselves upper than others. They were hiding their extra profit in foreign banks from publicity and now they hide it in crypto, everything made to not pay taxes or simply to cover dirty income.

I think this is really positive for space, because this will lead to good regulations in lieu of prohibitions. I like to see bitcoin and crypto in general as one big octopus. Spreading tentacles is everywhere and in the end it will be very large and widespread so that it cannot be ignored anymore. Because of course some politicians have crypto.

they are just being hypocrite, they come out and tell the general public that the government is not ready to use bitcoin as a currency but they all are investing in bitcoin behind close door. let just most of the politicians somehow someway are having an investment in bitcoin

Yes, some of the politicians invest in bitcoin because they have black money and its the best ever idea to invest in order to save all the black money but soonly government will make laws so they will not be able to invest they will not be able to save their money against these laws hope. And that's why some countries ban bitcoin.

Of course, if you know your words or actions can significantly alter the market which you can then benefit from, then obviously they're going to be greedy and take advantage of the situation. No doubt that's why they keep delaying the ETF decisions.

That's so true, most of the politicians now use bitcoin to hoard and launder money. and yet the government keeps fighting.

Not only politicians, TV celebrities to tech gurus, a lot of them have invested on Bitcoin but they will always deny or even talk bad about Bitcoin once they are in public. These sort of toxic personalities don't want people to gain the same profit as they could make out of investing in Bitcoin.

This is one of the nicest parts of Bitcoin. If someone does not know your address, no one knows how much money you have. Bitcoin can be preferred instead of banking.

This is true! And not only them, but also the bankers as well. They are sacking as many bitcoins as possible because they know in their hearts of hearts that this is the future. Eventually the economy will crash, markets will crash, currencies will crash, the dollar will crash--- and when that happened... bitcoins and cryptocurrencies will be their safe haven.

Absolutely, bitcoin is so powerful that it is able to find it way everywhere,`you will be marveled to notice that those who speak evil of BTC publicly are at the same time heavy investors of our mother coin. They are always trying to out smart us. They are now in a split some are saying it's illegal others too are like it's not  :)

BTC has an extraordinary potential for esteem regarding worth and value volatility of this unit as of late, with its own attributes of financial and mechanical wonders. BTC are worth 10 times their genuine esteem so later on it will probably build significantly more than current costs. We have not so much figured out how to esteem electronic cash units like BTC. With the goal that's the reason government officials dependably take a gander at BTC.

Why not? I think when anyone sees benefit of bitcoin, all of them will want to invest no matter who they are

Nothing to be surprised here. Politicians can invest on cryptocurrency and they have right to be anonymous. So i don't think it's a big deal for us or the crypto world.

Do you find it weird? If many people is making investment of course this society includes people from different professions. Politics is one of them naturally. Of course they make investment in bitcoin even they say we must stay away from it as a politician.

Look at it in this way... if you do some shit in a country they can take away everything you have, your bank account, your house, practically everything... except for your bitcoins when you are clever enough to store your private key in a secure place nobody ever can take away your bitcoins from you and this makes it a really good investment even when it loses value... its better to have something than to have nothing...

Definitely politicians can invest into crypto. They have the rights to invest into anything like a normal citizen I believe. If they see a scope of earning some money what's bad in it?

It is very normal that poiticians are investing into crypto. There are some bad things can also happen by this. Politicians now have a chance to invest money which they earned illegaly and there will be no trace of it.

For sure. The louder the public person cries about how bad btc is, the more he or she has.

Agree, there are other politicians who invest into crypto. Crypto has spreading so I believe bitcoin become atleast well known. Some really have this crypto as an opportunity to invest and this is good investment.

Politicians are the same people as everyone else, so it is not surprising that some of them also have investments in cryptocurrencies.

I think it is very normal that politicians are investing on bitcoin. Everyone has the right to invest in BTC. Right? Corrupted politicians can also invest their black money in bitcoin and thier will be no trace of the money also,

It is possible that they have some cryptos and they know that blockchain is the future of all  financial transaction. They are a lot of influential business icons that are behind the scene  supporting cryptocurrency because they belief in it. This salient support is one of the reasons that the cryptocurrency outright ban has continue to linger for some time now. We the holders of the coins should be grateful to all those who are supporting crypto either openly or discreet we need every one effort  to make sure that crypto currency succeed and escape all the attacks from various government and their agencies.

Yes, a lot of politicians have a secret investment in bitcoin who knows and understand cryptocurrency. In India, after demonetization, some politicians invest their money in bitcoin. Definitely, politicians are invested in bitcoin.

Everyone is free to invest in the crypto currencies and so politicians too because they also want to hide from tax collection departments

We have a lot of deputies in Ukraine who officially declare their wealth in bitcoin. It does not surprise anyone. In addition, they declare large sums. Therefore, I believe that Bitcoin has a chance to live.

I see no reason why political figures and individuals should be exempted from the unique technology that is cryptocurrency. Except of course, it has been declared illegal in their nation.

Am certainly not doubting this allegations. They actually don't want to be left behind but some are acting like hypo-crate. Well in the future, they will all come out clean.

Yes I believe that Politicians have secret investment in bitcoin. Because they know it's profitable. And they realize that investing here is safe. Not only politicians, economists, players, and many professional people most of them are investing in bitcoin. It has a reason and that is investing in bitcoin is profitable in the future.

Even the President of my country has a huge investment in bitcoin. And I do not see anything wrong, rich people want to increase their capital and care about the future of their children. And it's great that they support bitcoin, albeit in a secret way.

This is a very cool fact because it adds even more trust to bitcoin if people of such high rank invest in it.

This is a good sign, because there is a possibility that over time the governments of different countries will be more loyal to bitcoin and accept it.

I yes that's right  the politicians also join the bitcoin,even those millioneirs are joining bitcoin to invest and they support bitcoin.

Yes that's true many politicians is having a secret investment in crypto. Actually some of them not scared to adopt the crypto they help to understand if others what is crypto even it's risky. In my country crypto is known of some people and some politicians support about crypto but they also warn all people that we need to be careful because we all know how many fraudrers in crypto.

i guess Politicians are people like us ! .. why they can't own cryptocurrency.! i didn"t get your point
hey can do whatever they want with there own money !

There's no doubt that even politicians have interest in investing in bitcoin secretly  because it is a good investment indeed.And they are not afraid to adopt it and make it legal because they also involve in it.

investment and politics dost not seem like someting one should be worried about,. politicians have right to invest in whatever as long as it is legal.

it is true and a fact that some politicians are having huge investment in BTC even though they are doing this indirectly and that was one of the reasons why i always opined that BTC cant be destroyed rather it will continue to go stronger and brake more records of gaining more grounds in the world economy.

That is for sure,who would not like to invest in crypto it is a good investment you can earn a large amount of money if the price will reach the peak.Politicians has the power/authority to accept it and make it legal in one country.

in my opinion this is good news, anyone can have bitcoin, rich, poor, businessman, politician, student, old, young.

many politicians have bitcoin, but they are not transparent, they think that many governments choose to reject bitcoin.

Of course they do. Isn't that obvious? How do you think the government of the corrupted  countries hide their money/assets? They actively or indirectly causes price manipulation and takes the advantage of it. They politicians are the real sly fox and they know how to make people fool and secretly invest their "black money" to make more money off it. Nothing unbelievable.

Our very own, the fighting Senator Manny Pacquiao is one of the big investor of GCOX, and after the success of it, he will eventually invested on his own coin. More celebrities here in our country are also investing on crypto currency.

To be honest I'm not surprised by this message. Because I believe that quite a lot of these people who are constantly in sight on the TV screen, and most are on the wallets of bitcoin tens of thousands of coins. That's OK. Only one question. He had it, before his service in the state body or after?

This is of no news buddy, as much as you can use there is no difference between you and the politicians and if that is a basis for most government rejection then its a mess. There is no limitation to who so ever, desires to be part of bitcoin.

Like I said earlier, crypto is the way when it comes to huge transactions that can raise eye brow... That's why politicians invest in it to enable them move there huge currency or transactions.

Of course, this is not in any way surprising as top government officials and politicians alike are also beginning to discover the true value and huge potential of bitcoin. And trust me, no one wants to be left out, not even them.

That might be true since they are not different with many of us who wants to take advantage the volatility of crypto.

But the question is, where did they get the money they invest in crypto? Nowadays many politicians are corrupt and its one of the reason why the country they are in is struggling.

Nevertheless anyone can engage themselves in crypto no matter who you are as long as you understand how it works and you know the risk involved when you invest your money.

That is normal and it is not surprise even who you are, politician, celebrity, businessman, student and many more are joining to trade and investing in bitcoin. No doubt even politician but i think they have double faces in terms of that because politician have always hidden agenda or transaction you know what i mean.

it might happen, as I know bitcoin is now very popular, let alone public politicians have just started to know or just hear bitcoin, it's a safe way for politicians to enrich themselves without being tracked by government control agencies despite hearing it I strongly disagree, because it is not good and is detrimental to me as a community, but it is a right and no one can prevent it, it's just that it is a pity if it happens

I am not surprise if some poloticians are invested in bitcoin too because bitcoin is a big profit this is an extra and big income for them.

Yes, I already know about some politicians who secretly invests on cryptocurrency some if their reasons maybe is investing on crypto does nit require tax which is advantage to them. And who does not like crypto? when you can earn a lot of money through risking.

Well its quite possible that some politicians have invested in cryptocurrency. The anonymity of cryptocurrency makes it possible for people to invest in it without being notice or seen. People who always hide in the dark and can not support cryptocurrency publicly are just who are in crypto because of the profit they think are available when they invest into crypto. They are just selfish individuals.

I agree with that, i guess many politicians have invested in cryptocurrency, actually it would be absurd to wait for them to talk about it, as a result of their personal investments.

yes i agree with you that there are many people that have power in the world that investing in bitcoin and cryptocurrencies secretly, and they dont want to tell people about their investment with some reason.

There is no doubt about what you just said know. Majority of this politician use cryptocurrency as a means to siphon large sum of money so they would not be able to be traced.

Show proof or it didn't happen LOL jk ;D
I think there is a high probability that some politicians are investing in Bitcoin or other forms of crypto currency secretly but I don't think that they are scared about that being known by the public, they are scared of the blockchain technology to be used in the government in the future that will make corruption on government to be impossible and extremely hard to do.
Government regulation on Bitcoin or other forms of crypto currency is not a bad thing for us because it will boost every investor's confidence because it is legal to use or possess a crypto currency. :D

Can you share the link of your theory perhaps? We know that there are some people who would rather hide their investments to the public because they know that their position may be compromise when people knew it. Even those who have hateful comments to ward bitcoin may just be doing those so that people will be doubtful in investing and some would panic sell and they would have a cheaper bitcoin to purchase.

It is possible. Especially in the third world nations, Bitcoin represent one of the methods to hide your wealth. This was quite evident during the demonetization of the banknotes in India during 2016. And that is also one of the reasons why some of the governments are hostile towards BTC.

Of course, because everyone has the right to have a bitcoin if they probably want it. As of now, no such law prohibit them from owning any kind of cryptocurrency. This is a  good characteristics of bitcoin that no matter what you are, rich or poor or even politicians have the right to invest bitcoin.

It’s a good news that different types of people are now interested in bitcoins, like politicians. It can be a reason that they think they will get a good return from bitcoin. I think they are hiding their identity or want to do it secretly because they think it can hamper their political career. 

All people has the right to invest in bitcoin whether they are politician or not.Bitcoin is open for all,so it's not surprising if politicians are also investing in bitcoin.

Most politicians are liars who do their best to seem to be honest people who care about the nation. In fact, I have a feeling that people go into politics in order to get involved in corruption rather than do whatever is best for their country. That's why, on the one hand, they ban cryptocurrencies (so that ordinary people can't invest in crypto and remain ordinary and poor); on the other hand, they use the government money to get crypto for themselves and become even richer. I wish my parents had brought me up to be a politician 8)

Politicians are all about double standards: they order prostitutes, but in their speeches they always say that prostitution is bad; they're addressing the nation asking to use less resources, conserve more and spend less and at the same time they vote for the increase in their salaries, etc., etc... When it comes to Bitcoin, I'm sure the guys with more Bitcoins are those politicians who vote to ban Bitcoin and punish those who possess it. They're hypocrites.

Current investors in the world are very wise, have recognized the potential trend and development of the BTC. With the speed of technology development today, BTC will be a good choice in the world market, trading platform. They soon realize that, so they invest in developing and branding themselves later in the future.

Yes you are right. I have already heard many times that some politicians keep some of their savings in Bitcoins. Because in this case you can not track all their savings. They hide their savings in Bitcoins. They do not support the crypto currency until only until it has been legalized. I think later they will speak out for the crypto currency.

There are not enough politicians into bitcoin right now, if there was then it be legalised everywhere. A lot of people use it to hide wealth which is great, and hopefully more whales will enter crypto to pump the markets

I doubt about that. If this were true then there would be massive advertisement.

They are the businessman-politicians or politicians who has an entrepreneural mindset which considers bitcoin as one of their source of funds. Bitcoin is available for all because nobody control it and even a child can own it. This is some why some governments want to regulate crypto exchanges to monitor the flow the cryptocurrencies.

Its good way when have politicians are participated at bitcoin investment, many people will support and invest their money at bitcoin. maybe its one way to make bitcoin regulation at their country will be allowing, where have politician could promote about how bitcoin working.

Exactly, the politicians are just people and ironically they don't feel like paying taxes on their assets, etc., so I heard that, too. Bitcoin is one of the best and safest ways to save "for a rainy day" for anyone. Why are politicians different? They know their life is short, their term in their offices is even shorter, so they want to go all out and take advantage of it.

everyone can invest their wealth or wealth in the form of bitcoin or other digital currencies. we cannot prohibit anyone from investing because everyone has the right to do economic activities. so that politicians or state apparatus can invest in the form of crypto.

I'm not sure, because to invest in bitcoin someone must know every risk. and most politicians want safe investment. so, assuming you can't confirm that. and this is not important to us.

yes surely there are many political investors in bitcoin market as i see its the best source for hiding their black money from the opposition parties and also from government officials . they can buy BTC according to their investment strategy and can buy some more time to configure how to convert their black money into white money .

maybe its true and they can use bitcoin being corrupt politician because bitcoin is non trackable they can hide their money thru bitcoin...

I think it stands to reason they secretly invest in BTC because they can afford it and because they don't feel like missing the opportunity to earn some money ;D Why not?

when there are people with important positions in the government who pay attention in the world of cryptocurrency and even invest in it, it will have a good impact on the world of cryptocurrency and can have a good influence on publications about cryptocurrency to the public.

We can't stop them from investing in bitcoin and cryptos because people with average financial status even invest in bitcoin. How much more for these politicians who can afford to invest in big quantity of bitcoin? They know how to take risk and since they also have the money, so it's already expected that they will engage in bitcoin too.

Some political organization officials do invest in Bitcoin, I admit that in my place there is also the number one person in political parties involved in Bitcoin,
For that reason, all Bitcoin as a normal investment tool for that person and enjoy the results of investment,
The key, they have the main fixed salary, meaning that above the sky there is no sky can make their own decisions against Bitcoin must involve all elements, this is a problem for politicians.

Politicians are also ordinary people, they can also believe in blockchain or cryptocurrency. It's good that there are people in the government where our opinions with crypto-currencies converge, and they can try to further develop this arrangement.

There is no doubts about the fact that politicians and governmental personalities invest secretly in Bitcoin. They know the greatness and benefits of Bitcoin and the entire crypto world. However, they are scared of the power Bitcoin gives to the people due to its decentralized nature which allows users to make financial transactions without any middle authoritative body interruptions.

Many investors I can boldly say are government personnel or politicians. They are the ones condemning cryptocurrencies but they are the people who have huge investment in it.

Certainly, politicians invest in bitcoin. Their official position may well differ from their personal position. Since they are public people, they must express only an official position.

Anyone on this planet with internet access and fiat currency can invest in cryptocurrencies and it will be in secret for most of the investors if politicians invest in monero then it is completely anonymous

I'm not surprised that politicians invest in the crypto market. Although they may be forced to speak out against the cryptocurrencies due to various interests, they can not be prevented from doing what they like personally, especially if they are thinking about their future and blocking technology.

Any body is free to invest in bitcoin without disclosing it. But politicians seems to hide it or not about it because they are serving the government and abide to follow the government rules because cryptocurrency and bitcoin is not regulated,  they seems to be very careful in relating themselves to anything cryptocurrency or bitcoin.

Well why not and why would they even broadcast it? I don't see anything wrong about politicians investing in Bitcoin and they must be keeping it a secret for their own security, don't you think? I know of famous celebrities who are investing bitcoins like Paris Hilton, Mike Tyson and even Billionaire David Gates. Let's let them be. The more bigger players there are, the stronger Bitcoin will be.

It is funny how they are trying to scare people away from it and praising banks while they are adding up their cryptocurrencies ::).
Whoever has the money to invest should consider putting some into it.

Theres no impossible that anyone can have bitcoin because anonymity is indeed in cryptocurrency .

Many countries that has no action or reaction towards crypto and this may include there politician or maybe the president is part of this great breakthrough,the crypto community is being popularized but the users are kept secret

The politicians are also human being and they also know or can judge what is good and what is bad for them and also they can understand the advantages of bitcoin.

it is true. because they have unregistered money. bribes, for example. they need to keep them somewhere. because they can not give the money's account. the only solution is bitcoin.

Legit and public invest in bitcoin and 100% sure that you can invest in it and many investors also spend on investing in bitcoin i never read or warning me that never invest bitcoin again.

This is great, showing the strong attraction of bitcoin is growing. I believe Bitcoin will be legalized in the future.

It's because this wayy is the most confidential way or money laundering.

We dont have any solid proof about the politicians so we cant say like this...Apart from these...We all are humans so we can say that everyone is greedy enough..So all of us are investing in cryptocurrency to make some profit.

I don't see anything wrong with Politicians embracing bitcoin. Remember that among the innate attribute of bitcoin is being permission-less.

No one ever needs anybody giving them the thumbs up to use or acquire bitcoin. It is a free choice for everyone. Nor there will be a person to tell that you could not utilize bitcoin. It's a free world, so to say.

Besides, in the US alone, there were a number of politicians that accepted bitcoin donations since 2012 and became an acceptable form of donation by 2014. A lot of politicians engaged in this type of fund raising because a lot of their constituents wanted to contribute using their bitcoins to wage support for their chosen candidate.

So i guess there are no hidden worries for politicians should they decide to engage in the bitcoin economy.

I think anyone who saw the profits of Bitcoin would want to join not only politicians, but also that they wanted to manage the anarchist market and the freedom of the traders. I think that is also a way to wash their money, corruption is a problem, BTC is the best place to do it. Maybe a little bit but it's true.

Obviously, I actually do, particularly during my nation exactly where it's not however released what the law states program which may control as well as place the taxes about the Bitcoin income the majority of national politics tend to be filing their own earnings within cryptocurrency.

It is an open secret and it is also sure that those who are opposite of bitcoin they may also use or invest bitcoin because everyone want profit.

Crypto market is decentralize market and there is no restriction to any body to invest in the market and there is no limit to invest. And every body want to become the millionaire on the earth. So all level of body is investing in the crypto, either he is politicians or ordinary man in any where.

If they are investors themselves they might be afraid of adopting laws that substantially restrict the use and trade of crypto, as that indeed would hurt their interests.
BUT supporting crypto as a technology that could change the world should not be a point of doubt for anybody, even the politicians.

Politicians are very much conscious about their future and they found that they can make their future bright and secure through this.

Well, if it's true, that's good that they're trying to understand how it is work. Because it will help politicans to make more correct decisions with respect to cryptocurrencies in the near future

Can you give us an example of a politician in a "well-developed" country that would try to ban cryptocurrencies there?
On the contrary, political speakers there would try to meet the expectations of their voters by enhancing the use and trading of crypto.

TYPICAL PROBLEM FOR BILLIONER: TO BUY APARTMENT FOR 15 YEARS ASIAN GIRLFREND

AND IF JOURNALISTS SEE WILL BE THE SCANDAL
WITH BITCOIN THERE IS NO PROBLEM

Guessing someone's character isn't different from predicting the price of bitcoin, everything can so it's impossible, but it can also be very possible. Humans tend to have a double attitude, especially a greedy official / politician. In general they reject bitcoin hard (because afraid of their superiors), but who knows behind that they play as big investors.

i don't see any problem with politicians holding bitcoin or any other cryptocurrency for that matter.
as long as that investment came from a legal means then so be it.
and for me i also don't care whether they will make it a public knowledge or not.
:D

Good point there. And though it is preferable that the source of investment came from legal means, that does not matter either (knowing the likes of most politicians nowadays).

And yes, politicians need not divulge this information to anyone, though ideally, holding a public trust office means being transparent in their activities, no law demands that they disclose any engagement in the bitcoin economy.

And this is the whole idea of bitcoin. It is to give back privacy and freedom to users irrespective of their position in life, and yes, politicians included (no matter what the current stand of the government is against or for bitcoin).

Of course because they are not stupid.

They scared of publicity about it it's understandable, since they depend on the opinion of the public while they are on the political career. That is in fact good not only for us, but for the whole world in the sense of what is possible to accomplish in the future.

The more people that wants to come the better. As more people comes and the rate of mining gets lower and lower, the best Bitcoin will be as a currency for everyday transactions.

Yes, they might have secret crypto investments, but they say, "nothing is hidden that will not be made manifest, nor is anything secret that will not be known and come to light." I don't see why they can't invest in Bitcoin, but that's not what's bothering me here. What I personally dislike about it is them being hypocritical. Why not be honest and support Bitcoin on the government level so that every citizen can take advantage of investing in Bitcoin? That's what I don't understand.

it may happen, freedom in BTC and the non-traceability of identity is very attractive to politicians especially if they have bad intentions such as corruption or money laundering, weak supervision may also be the reason, that is also the reason the government is afraid to legalize BTC, but whatever the reason is the right of every BTC holder and no one can prevent it, and that is one of the weaknesses of BTC that is very easy to use for illegal matters, and is a bit of government anxiety

I do not know of any case in my country where a politician has been surprised using bitcoin to hide funds that he stole, politicians are still using secret bank accounts for that, but I will not be surprised that in the future we find out that politicians are also using bitcoin in order to try to avoid taxes or to hide money that they stole from the government.

Indeed, obviously, I likewise think simply like you that not a couple of lawmakers are engaged with putting resources into digital money, obviously, there are numerous purposes behind them to play here. Among them is that they realize that contributing here is the most secure place and is additionally useful for the future and can likewise stay away from the spotlight of their administration.

At present there are no news sources that say that, but most likely the thing there must be even though by stealth so that it's not known by anyone, either by other people or by the news media.


Because he's afraid if he will be fired later from the position he is currently occupying.

it seems that it can happen considering that bitcoin / crypto uses P2P technology without central authority, the transaction process is carried out by networks that are not supervised by the institution so that it may make it easier for politicians to invest without the knowledge of others.

Bitcoin is a digital currency, it is acknowledged as a good coin in all crypto. All the way to earn bitcoin is safe through the net. because there are so many benefits available to Bitcoin, many governments know the benefits of bitcoin. Everyone knows about bitcoin has invested in a bitcoin, especially a politician to earn a great deal.

Adulterated ones contribute more who knows. The more you grant to the more they need. Those who are cash hungry they doubtlessly do venture in several viewpoints which they discover beneficial.

They understand the benefits of cryptocurrencies, so they utilize this as a storage of their assets for the future. They should have issued a decision to accept crypto as a legal currency. So, I think there's no secret anymore.

Of course they do, imagine if you had the power to crash or spike the market with your words, they must surely know the impact of what they will say, and it is only human nature to be greedy and secretly cash in on a sure thing.

Whether we like it or not, we can not deny that bitcoin investment is so interesting for us. Im not suprise anymore if some politicians have a secret investment in bitcoin.

I'm sure many politicians are playing bitcoin, but it's closed because maybe bitcoin in their country is considered illegal. They realize that bitcoin is a good investment for the future, so they are interested and enter the bitcoin market. Bitcoin applies a peer to peer system so transactions cannot be tracked, and politicians are safe to conduct bitcoin transactions. Because bitcoin is anonymous.

Yes that might be very true that politicians are secretly investing in bitcoin , because the cryptocurrency investment is anonimous , so anyone can really hide his identity through this bitcoin investment , as long as it is running very well ,identity does not matter here in bitcoin.

I heard a humor about this that even the politicians have secret investment in bitcoin. For me they invest here in bitcoin to get an extra income and I think it is better to us or in bitcoin because we have a protector because they will not let anyone to destroy it.

This fact is justified, and this is not surprising, because in December last year there was a significant increase in the price of bitcoin, and many people paid attention to it and bought it, including some politicians.

Who could not have the interest of investing in bitcoin if you have the money to invest on it and you also know that you can really earn profit from it. I have known some politicians here in our country who own business establishment so it's really not a secret anymore if they invest in cryptocurrencies too.

Anyone can invest in bitcoin, if they really want to invest, so in my opinion it is normal and something that is normal if politicians also invest in bitcoin as long as there is no prohibition to invest. But I hope that politicians who invest must also be honest and fair and do not commit fraud or crime in investing.

Ahuh i agree with that too. I think regardless of social status, anybody could make their own way and invest here because its a very great industry to work on. Seizing it is a good idea

in the world of crypto does not see who invests, everything is permissible, and if that happens I think it doesn't matter, meaning they also believe in c...

It is very likely that many people in our society are passionate about this idea, because this business is very entertaining and profitable, why not anyone do it? And not devote a little bit of time to it.

We don't have any base or source to give prediction. All you think is just a hypothesis. I don't think they are investing in Bitcoin. They have a double stand because they can't control and manage Bitcoin while they still want to tax it.

If no one knows about their investment, how could we know and give any deduction. And even they invest in Bitcoin, is there anything not okay? Not a big problem. If the government wanna to buy Bitcoin, that would be really a discovery that we need to talk about. I don''t care much whether or not some politicians join Bitcoin community. It's alright.

Yeah, I think Bitcoin is a good tool for them to hide their wealthy from the government, Bitcoin is kind of another Swiss bank to them, though it is quite risky. In other words, Bitcoin is their secret banks, I guess.

I think they have illegal money like bribe money, I guess. And Bitcoin, working as a money laundering machine, is a safe tool or them. However, there hasn't been any clear information about this problem. It's just based on our own deduction without any materials.

If no one knows about their investment, how could we know and give any deduction. And even they invest in Bitcoin, is there anything not okay? Not a big problem. If the government wanna to buy Bitcoin, that would be really a discovery that we need to talk about. I don''t care much whether or not some politicians join Bitcoin community. It's alright.

Yes they have because they know the true power of Bitcoin and how it can skyrocket in no time. I remember watching an interview in my country, where they were asking politicians if they have money in crypto and most of them didn't want to speak about it, guess why lol :D

Maybe, they are smart people, to step into political world at national level also requires money and a supportive environment. In making policies, they cannot be arbitrary, they must think of many things that influence each other or even pressure from those in power, politics is destined to be dirty.

You are right, they can also hide corrupt money using bitcoin because it is really hard to trace the owner of bitcoin address, i really have a strong feeling that many politicians are doing this.

Trust me!you are not the only lucky person investing in bitcoin and the other cryptocurrencies, many great men are also involved. You may not know them until they speak up because bitcoin investments do not reveal the actual onwers of a wallet.

Everyone can invest for bitcoin because that's their right as long as it is not against the law moreover they have money to do so and i think this is okay however i heard rumour too several months ago that there was one of minister in my country investing more than 1000 btc but unfortunately he does not admitted but some people believe he still own those bitcoin

is there evidence to complement your expectations? because I think it will be a debate. most politicians will invest their money in safe property. yes, that is a fact. so I don't think anything you say won't affect the market anytime soon if it's true

For the amount of educated people incide the political community, im sure that there are people who are involved on cryptocurrency. Some politicians are also businessmen or belong to a rich family so there are a possibility that they are aware on it. We cant close the fact that maybe they use their position for their own sake.

Nope I know that we cannot know their identity but come on, this has become a public secret that bitcoin is used as a place for money
laundering and politicians are mostly like shit, they are save their corruption money in bitcoin so it's hard to trace #imo

If politicians and notable people has a secret investments in bitcoin and they will also secretly be supporting be supporting bitcoin over obnoxious government policies against bitcoin. They may have a firm believe on the potentiality of bitcoin and its possibility of taking over the the future of transactions. This news is great one as the confidence on bitcoin will be rising.

Maybe you mean to say that some politicians that is going against bitcoin might have their own investment as well in crypto?
Here in the philippines our senator and one of the most influential people Manny pacquiao is known to be supporting GCOX and soon might have his own coin.

It's great that politicians have an investment in cryptocurrency, because it can be a great help in the development of this technology, as these people have a personal interest in it.

Politician expecially from africa will always be looking for ways to keep their looted fund from their country. Cryptocurency is a perfect place for them to hid the fund as its not traceable to anyone and also decentralized. Infact, this is one of the reason why crypto wil be having problem because crypto is a coverup place for corrupt politician

Everybody have the right to invest in crypto currency, poor people, rich people or even a politicians as you said. Politician investor in this technology can be a great help in the sense that maybe they can help for the development of crypto technology.

We do not know who they are. But think they use bitcoin and other crypto currency to hide their stolen wealth. This may be their way of not knowing their secret.

This is the most difficult resource to know because Crypto's transaction is anonymous.

This is nothing new. They can also be listed in the whales category when it comes to classifying these politicians as investors. I have my doubts that they are often related with all these manipulation for sure. at least that is what the politicians usually do. Money laundering for them will definitely become easier through cryptos.

That could possible because lots of politicians are rich that are capable of investing bitcoin and since bitcoin is anonymously transacted by different people we cannot determine what are the status or profession of that specific investor. So i think that politicians are possible investors of crypto currencies.

This might be true but I do hope that this don't happen in the real world. Bitcoin is a decentralized crypto currency the reason it is volatile and anonymous, but not really. I guess this is one of the reasons why Bitcoin should be regulated, with Bitcoin in regulation, I think people like politicians should be guarded to what they are dong and where are they transacting their BTCs.

You cant be far from the truth. A wise investor should know that its wise investing in crypto currencies and politicians always seek wise councils so you expect many of them to have strong assets in crypto and with time, this all will be made public

I think that the politicians are using the money they receive from their accounts and stocks in Bitcoin for campaign budgets. Well, in order for them to win a position in government, national or local, they gonna need so much money for campaigns around the country. I am also curious why these politicians don't run out of money.

maybe some of them but not majority because politicians are known to be rich persons and they will not have the time to invest in any other things or to make more money . they will only focus on their jobs and that is by making a campaigns to make them even more popular and recognizable by the public .

Certainly some of them who did it with the intention of keeping some of their possessions, yeah since crypto's transaction is anonymously and some account in exchanges that didn't require KYC can be made with fake name, make them unite with the investors.

can you prove it with accurate data?
I think that is just an assumption that you put forward. the fact is we will never know because of the anonymous nature of bitcoin. and the possibility is only small because some factors are my consideration, for example, most politicians ban crypto and bitcoin, especially those who are more interested in storing a bank like a Swiss bank.

Yea so damn politicians invest in bitcoin too but what I don't like about them is even though they are the ones ruling the government why are they trying to spoil the show to people ,saying they should not invest in Btc and calling it scam? Whereas they are into it fully.

yeah definitely there are members here in the forum that are actually known politician from around the world. After all investment is still investment and does not choose who are you and all people across the world can invest in bitcoin. Even celebrities are here also i believe that i know one of them who expresses his/her love with bitcoin but does not tell if he invested in cryptocurrency.

* It was only a matter of time before Bitcoin entered politics (https://medium.com/@TokenDesk/it-was-only-a-matter-of-time-before-bitcoin-entered-politics-b4a794a8a3c1).

It's not a secret that many politicians have vested interest in Bitcoin but that has nothing to do with the intention of Satoshi and the utility of Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies. We must have the rational approach towards it and view it as just another currency, so the users using it for the illegal activities must be punished irrespective of their social status.

Indeed big politicians  invested black money on crypto.
Almost all politician corrupt and they have millions dollars in crypto but we can't track, as we know that we can transfer billions dollars with single click
no need to submit documents or any other formalities.   

Yeah it can be great though somehow we never know if the money was came from their own pocket or from ours. Looking deeply, politicians can hide their money through investing in crypto currently since it's anonymous and of course they won't tell it publicly unless they're some sort of endorcer.

We can not really tell who' who into bitcoin. Students, teachers, office workers, police etc... Or even unemployed are into bitcoin so anyone can be part of this and we can safely assume that yes, politicians might also be one of us and can be the ones who are the biggest investors.

Well, as a politician, they have the responsibility to reveal their assets or else, the court will punish them for their hidden wealths. That's very illegal and it could end their career as politicians. It's always okay to have assets like these as long as they are declared under the court.

Politicians buy cryptocurrency to launder money and not pay taxes. The fact that they are in the subject, I think - it's good for the industry, because they will be less stick sticks in the wheel

Yes that could be through
Even if you don't tell me I know..  There is no politician that have only one sources of making money they all have Investment in different places.. Even if they are against it in the public my brother / and sister they are the happiest when the market drop because it give them room to purchase more of what they have.

Unfortunately that is something that is going to happen more frequently as cryptocurrencies become more popular, but that is not the fault bitcoin or any cryptocurrency but human nature, those politicians should be trying to improve their living conditions in their countries and yet they're only looking for their own benefit.

Yeah yoir right there some officials in the side of goverment are secretly supporting bitcoin because they have a chance to earn much bigger they use dummy to monitor there investment. Also its a big oppurtunity if they implement or regulate crypto in short they have an access how to control it.

this subject is not far from being the truth. I remeber then during the MMM ponzi scheme saga in my country, many politiician including the one in house of assembly pump alot of money into the scheme and ones they have made their money back, they were calling for government to block people from investing in MMM. since investing in bitcoin is anonymous, it will be easier for them to use huge amount of money to invest in crypto and dont be surprise some ICO may be funded by politicians. 

I strongly believe that politicians have their rights to utilize bitcoin as an investment asset, but the manner they fund it will be of an importance.  If the fund comes from the people then that is entirely a different story.

Unfortunately, as bitcoin remains unregulated by many governments, asking a public official to state transparently any bitcoin engagement is far fetched. There will be no law that can impose such rules against any politician for them to declare any bitcoin asset.  In this regard, these politicians are taking advantage of bitcoin's current rift with many governments and that is really sneaky, it is their right, yet really really sneaky.

I think it's not a new to report or it's not a new article to make an issues. I think some politicians have their own issues from side to side issues from investment. And Some of them are wanted to make have a secret investment in bitcoin because they want to protect their own self into a public appearance.

Yes that's true I believed on that matter too. In fact, for sure there are some already invested into bitcoin in a huge amount, we just don't know who they are because bitcoin was anonymous or pseudonymous. And due this system of decentralization of bitcoin we are really free to do whatever we want it to do.

In my country, politicians are the highest paid. Our senators our amongst the highest paid in the world. Apart from this, they still engage in the embezzlement of the money meant for the general public. This kind of people will definitely see cryptocurrency as where to invest in order to hide there wealth.

Of course, it really is, politicians making very huge income from the cryptocurrency, I even saw and heard what they said about it, that they make investments in bitcoins and cryptocurrency and do not even hide anything about it, but I heard it in my country, so I can not say anything for other countries, but I think at least in Japan, too, politicians make investments in bitcoin.

anyone can have an investment in bitcoin and crypto, including politicians.
I don't have problem if there are politicians who have invested in Crypto, because that also includes progress if there are many people who invest in Crypto. dont need to think about politicians who invest in crypto, just think if we also have to invest in crypto and seek profits.

yes of course that can't be denied anymore, many people who already know bitcoin bitcoin can be used for money laundering and can be used to save money and can be used to grow assets owned so that there are some political people who keep their assets in the form of bitcoin.

Everyone can have their own secret investment in bitcoin. I think this is a good opportunity that noone want to miss even politicians

It is hard to say whether this is true if there is no evidence. Because crypto ensures anonymity, it is very likely that politicians invest in the cryptocurrency market. This market is open to everyone. The ethical side may be a problem, because on the one hand they are fighting against the crypto and on the other hand, they are investing money there.

It doesn't surprise me that politicians have a lot of money invested in cryptocurrency, they are usually in the center of corruption and with crypto it is much easier to launder their bribe money.

I believe so. There are some cases that a politician are not reporting some of their funds  so that they are not required to pay larger tax. It is not surprising that some of them are participating about this new trend for they are the one who are somehow knowledgeable about economy.

I read about this a year ago. This topic is true. Since investing in bitcoin is anonymous, it would be easier for them to use huge amounts of money to invest in crypto and not surprisingly some ICOs could be funded by politicians.

It is a public secret dude. even though their identity cannot be seen and undercover. but we know that bitcoin is well-known to be
the right currency to be used as money laundering? of course they will certainly use this. this is a public secret

Yes, absolutely politician gets the golden opportunity to hide their black money with making an investment in bitcoin. And how can they lose this kind of opportunity for their money laundering, that's the reason they have done secretly investment in bitcoin.

  I think even politicians are secretly invested bitcoin because investors are privately using key in a hidden character. In some point, they making it advantage for their own appropriable good. But it makes so annoying when in the first place they have to acknowledge bitcoin by taking it legally in the countries. Most of us here benefited bitcoin as our instance phenomenal assistance to became wealthy. But Politicians are indeedly selfish in their own way.

Yes it's very true that most politicians do have investments in Bitcoin but have funny is it when the same set of persons or group of persons who are against Bitcoin are the same persons who are  now also partakers of it also no wonder the parable they that live In glass house should not throw stones

Anyone may invest in bitcoin, both ordinary people and state officials, or even politicians, because bitcoin never limits itself and is open to anyone who wants to invest in bitcoin. But indeed there are sometimes certain groups that hide themselves and are ashamed to admit that they have invested in bitcoin or because of something they do not want to know that they are actually investing in bitcoin. But the most important thing is we must know that anyone without exception may invest in bitcoin and there are no restrictions and restrictions in investing in bitcoin, so there is no problem to think about if politicians also invest in bitcoin.

Many politicians who occupy the governmental positions know the truth and benefits if Bitcoin and crypto yet are scared to go contrary to what the government say about Bitcoin. Therefore, these politicians secretly invest in Bitcoin.

one of the benfits of cryptocurrency is anonymity and privacy. this is one of the reason why people really love it and adopted it. so we cant blame anyone for using it and not claiming to do so publicly. crypto is still very at the early stage and no one really knows what can happen . 

Yes it is possible that politicians may have secret investment in bitcoin.Anybody can have a account.No one is controlling it so their is a posibility that anyone can have account in BTC.Interest and greed are taking most of the investors towards BTC and altcoins.As cryptocurrency is the future currency so investing in them from today onwards is a good decision for all.

The bad side of them owning or having investments in crypto is not publicly stating it and making a push. On the other hand, their friends may be missing out and would want to jump on the boat but price is high so what do they do? Come up with all the FUDS.

From the very beginning, I thought so. In any case, an influential person with big money will want to invest in bitcoin. And yes, you are right, perhaps they are tightening up with the regulation of the crypto currency just because they do not want to learn about their capital
