and "Yes Litecoin"  ;)

Positive BTC PR started by a USA Senator?

A US Senator is hoping to take bitcoin mainstream with a new venture, called YesBitcoin. Branden Petersen, A Minnesota Republican senator along with a small team of volunteers are launching Yesbitcoin as a solution to the problem of large-scale communication for bitcoin.

In an interview with BitScan, Petersen said “As advocates for Bitcoin, we want to do everything that we can to help spread the message and move towards mainstream adoption. The ability of Bitcoin to democratize the financial system and empower billions of people worldwide is transformational. In one's lifetime, you are given a handful of opportunities to be a part of something that can truly change the world for the better. We believe that Bitcoin is one of those things."

Yes great news! ..?
This is getting really strange, why is a US Senator hyping Bitcoin?
Are we helping them with their "evil dream" of an Orwellian One-Word currency, or is he a good person who likes Bitcoin?  :o

State Senate. Not US Senate.

The goal is to promote the image of bitcoin and to encourage its usage/acceptance.

It certainly can't hurt- but I'm not sure how successful it will be.

It's great for a lawmaker to be into this sort of thing as they can spread the word amongst the political class and on down the food chain.
