It seems like We now have the first US presidential candidate who accepts Bitcoin and Ethereum, members of Congress revealing their crypto holdings.

Andrew Yang, the “Humanity First” candidate for president, is now accepting Bitcoin, Ethereum and all ERC20 tokens to help support his bid for the US presidency. Supporters can donate to the American entrepreneur’s campaign by following the link for Yang 2020.

We've also had the following candidates for president:

A self proclaimed vampire (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jonathon_Sharkey)
A man who wears a boot on his head (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vermin_Supreme)
A white supremacist (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Duke)
A criminal (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lyndon_LaRouche)

Anyone can apply to be a presidential candidate. It doesn't mean anything I'm afraid.

This is a great news as this is leading to crypto acceptance. This president is doing so maybe to get the support of crypto enthusiasts but by this both the president and the crypto market will be benefited.

if we think about this market then crypto market is getting popular day by day because now it is involving into politics also we can see that US using this for their various purpose also it is a good news to see such types of news.

This is really good news based on this market also US precedential candidates are accepting crypto currency so this market is already involved in politics which is good initiative based on this market day by day it is getting more popular.

That's an amazing idea. If the US presidential candidate taps Bitcoin and ethereum as donation payment option, then cryptocurrency will get more exposure and attention. Activities like this always brings good impact in the market.

This is good to see that the crypto market is now being part of politics too. We need the market to be more popular day by day, and with crypto touching every sector and services in the economy is a good thing to see.

I think it's pretty good news, but again it won't affect anything. I don't think he'll get much support, even from crypto enthusiasts.

Having the opportunity to donate to campaigns is a good thing. But in the fun and spur of this opportunity, we need to make sure that out crypto currency is not being poured on someone who is not there for the welfare of politics. So, even though it is a good thing that crypto is being a part of politics, donate wisely.

This is something completely new, seeing crypto playing a part in the election's campaigns. As much as it is a delightful news, we also need to remember that anyone can stand for the election, but it is us who makes the rightful candidate win. So before donating, make sure if the candidate deserves it or not.

That's a good news. I hope all the candidates will accept cryptocurrency like this. They need to understand the proper utilization of the coins. So that they can use it for the betterment of country.

He takes a great initiative. I think it can inspire more people like him to accept cryptocurrency. The more people join, more developments will happen in the cryptocurrency world.

I heard about this too. I think it is really important that VIP persons like them should support cryptocurrency. It will help to grow the popularity of crypto in root level.

This is really great news. I can’t believe that the president himself raise crypto currency. I am eagerly waiting for the next election. It will surely take the cryptomarket on the next level.

So many weird people want to be the president these days, and a really weird one did make it

but this news is still not enough to pump bitcoin prices higher, we need very good good news to be able to actually pump bitcoin faster, but now we can only watch bitcoin rise slowly, we wait for the next two years

what candidate? what presidency? what election?

the next US presentational election is in 2020, there are no candidates now! and candidates don't start 2 years prior to the election for their campaign. that is nonsense and the person doing it is trying to scam you.

edit: US is weird! apparently he is a candidate for 2020 election! why this soon?!! and why ask for donations from now! i still say it is a scam. possibly he is bag holding some coins and wants the price of them to go up.

Cryptocurrency is really winning in this battle ground between opposers and adopters winning alway to the white house !!!

It is either you are ignorant about bitcoin or you are afraid that the emergence of bitcoin will affect your kind of business and income. Once you are free  from this two factors you will embrace bitcoin with both hands, no matter the price value at the moment.

This sort of news is just the foreplays of the establishment of the New World theory to me. A day is coming when there will be just one economy as well as a single money system to control the world. Cryptos are going to be that one.

Financing of a political campaign in the past brought an impressive proportion of dialogue in light of indistinguishable game plans of donators, especially in the field of presidential fights.

The involvement of the congressmen in the Crypto space was a great news and this is a hot cake for the Crypto space as well. This sort of news really energizes the people somehow involved in crypto space and it is more worthy when he is from America.

lol. I don't know how some people consider this a good news. They're asking for charity in eth, btc. not very different than people who ask for charity in bitcoin on ytube. at least latter delivers. might create fomo. not sure

As expected crypto currencies are going to set a mark, crypocurrencies are unstoppable and future. While block hain is a perfect vehicle for transactions I strongly believe it will go ahead.

I don't know it is a good information or bad information.
But, when US take a part in ceypto or Bitcoin and Ethereum, i think it is a good.
Us is a center of the world and when take a part in ceypto of course it is making a different in ceypto.

This is good, but I think this is aimed at the campaign, I'm not sure there are effects that will affect market turnover. do you agree that politics in America will bring about changes in crypto development?

What? Presidential candidate willing to accept btc and eth? looks like he's in this business! Imagine people donate by his campaign. It will help btc to known more, well this is not first but i hope that a lot of them emerge and accept btc just like we are.

Yes it’s true information. As I know the US government will going to accept it very soon. Some US company already accept bitcoin. I think it’s a positive step take by the government.

Wow, this is big. Someone who is a real progressive. Never heard about that candidate though. For sure a reason to support that candidate, if you are happy with his policy ideas. But it would be a change for America towards digitisation and the end of fiat.

That is just another example of crypto mass adoption, so the things is that crypto is massively being adooted and used all around the world in the background and soon this will be proven by massive bull run in the market due to massive demand of coins like btc and eth.

this is a good start, soon they can also start accepting bills or taxes in cryptocurrencies

I think the news is good news for the Cryptoworld considering that US is the country with the largest amount of bitcoin investment, but be careful because it could be just political promises.

"Legislators are beginning to understand the capability of bitcoin and different altcoins in governmental issues, yet the fundamental achievement will come after they understand the capability of the blockchain framework in itself in legislative issues.
"

I believe that it is a great idea to promote crypto, he may even be getting some  donations for it, so is not a bad business for the right person. More hype is welcome.

This doubtlessly isn't the first occasion when that bitcoin utilize was raised as a subject of political exchange in the U.S. TheTokener officially provided details regarding the possibility of a previous U.S. presidential applicant Ron Paul that Cryptocurrencies could supplant US Dollar sooner rather than later.

As I know US government take different types of step to accept digital currency. Bitcoin plays a vital role here. Bitcoin gave different types of proposal to US government and we are very hopeful that the government will approve it soon.

bitcoin and ethereum are more popular than before. people are increasing their investment. it will be doing something good in 2020 because it is more secure and reliable.

Of course, this can positively affect the popularity of these coins. But we must remember that this can only be an attempt to attract more electorate.

This is really surprising news I must say. Now the crypto market will be backing the US president himself. It’s unbelievable. But I am really very interested to this campaign for 2020 election

it is amazing to crypto people. bitcoin and ethereum are more popular than before. it will be increasing their price and make more profit. people are interest to invest here. i am also interest to invest here.

This news proves the importance of crypto market to the world economy and politics as well. it is a great chance for marketing the crypto market worldwide. I believe it will surely work and people will be interested on it

it is very good news for crypto market. bitcoin and ethereum are more popular and useable coin. it will be something good in 2020 because its popularity increase day by day.

as a investor we always wait for such kind of news,  it is actually a very wonderful things that a US President is approving bitcoin and ethurem trading,  hopefully in the upcoming future we will able to have more success in this business

what a pleasant news,  what can be better than this that a nation like US is approving bitcoin,  we must have to agree that it is very inspiring news and we are eagerly looking for more development to happen in this online trading world

thank you very much for the updates it is actually a wonderful news, we always wait for heated this kinds of updates it helps the investors to get inspired, we are hoping that we will able to maintain this development on the upcoming future as well

That is great strategy. He is new and not accepted yet. So it would be hard for him to be donated from general investors. Now he is targeting the most growing economy in the world. I am impressed

I think this is a very good development and gradually, crypto will because very popular and accepted in all countries. It's advantage will be well accepted and will also be used as means of payment for goods and services in companies and countries globally.

This is a good news for the owners of Bitcoin and Ethereum. Being accepted by presidential candidate, BTC and ETH have added more utility and usability in them. I think something positive will come out of this.

Obviously, This is a very good update and news for us. This type of news will help the investors to get inspired. I hope that every part of the world will get involved in this market gradually. Cryptocurrency market is a proven method of transaction nowadays.

It doesn't mean anything. Even If it was an important political figure, it would not have a serious influence on the market, the more important is Fiat currency  .

There's a good chance for the value to rise high again if this news is legit, we know how much money are involve in any elections it's indeed a good development just in case people will be learned about this blockchain technology.

When they want a way to get cash without the attention of the authorities, then they will fall on cryptocurrency but if they are in power they will be doing everything to sabotage the cryptocurrency market with funny excuses.

Candidate must be accepting donation in any form as long they can cashing it. Some time politician always make many promise but some of them not keep that promise. But i think its good step that crypto recognized by more people and i am believe more people will have knowledge about cryptocurrency in near future

is that important and influential to the crypto world? I think this has another purpose, because the US presidential election is still a few years away and I don't think it's feasible if they do it now.

It is not a bad thing, but it does not really matter. Politicians can say whatever they like as long as they want to reach specific target population anyway. However, if true, it makes a lot of sense to have someone who is a crypto enthusiast in power as that could actually bring about some positivity for the space in terms of further development around legalization and probable regulations as the case may be within the US. Something like this can easily send signals to the minds of some, but nothing too particular to instigate huge market movement upwards.

This is the kind of positive publicity that must be supported and encouraged! Presidential candidate accepting donation in Bitcoin for campaign is positive for cryptocurrency and especially bitcoin!

Regardless of the real chances of this candidate to become president, his use of crypto-currencies popularizes them and increases capitalization, which has a positive effect on cryptoworld.

I agree! The features of electronic money have brought to human life great changes. But e-money market acceptance in countries also requires countries to find ways to manage this free market. At the same time, e-money itself needs to be technologically advanced to be more user-friendly. So it can be said that electronic money contributes to promoting and improving the country.

I think this is good news. I think there are so many strange people today who want to become president today, and But what really is strange is successful. We can take an example in this US. They really developed it very well and legalized Bitcoin and Ethereum as coins, very impressed and I appreciate this US president's decision.

it's good they accept crypto, positive step towards the mass adoption. Also they think they can collect more funds that way, which is a actually true, question is whether KYC is needed

Well, that doesn't surprise me at all since they are only a candidate and might only using cryptocurrency for their own benefit. It is a good thing that he advertised cryptocurrency but the acceptance is only for himself and the person around him to get possible donations for his candidacy. This type of news is nothing but related to scam activity. It would be nice if he or his group are trying to create a resolution that will legitimize cryptocurrency in united states or he may create a bill that may help cryptocurrency be legalized.

At the moment I do not see a potential replacement for the Ethereum in any of the projects, or in the coin. He is the most reliable and convenient project of the future.

This is good news. I think, that electronic money contributes to promoting and improving the country. e-money market acceptance requires countries to find ways to manage this free market. So they need a huge community support.

Bitcoin will take the place of the dollar with time and become a measure of the price of everything. Efirium will be a hardworking and financial platform for implementing bitcoin plans. Let's wait a few years.

Is that good? What can this news contribute to the development of cryptocurrency? There is more good news for cryptocurrencies and no reaction from the market...

On the basis of this kind of thing is good because it raises good news for cryptocurrency.
Then I also saw for this about the super power of the American President's pedigree.

well, the move is significant. just imagine how many people will know about crytpo just while reading the info about that candidate. information is a key subject today, so the more crypto is known the better

I think this is an example to show that even people in the government are excited about crypto because there is a massive amount of potential and no body wants to miss out.
