Over the past few months, U.S. regulators and appointed lawmakers have been researching and drafting regulatory guidelines for digital assets like bitcoin. Last year the Colorado Democrat Jared Polis and Arizona Republican David Schweikert initiated the Congressional Blockchain Caucus. The caucus was created to help bureaucrats develop regulatory policies towards cryptocurrencies and their blockchain networks. Both Schweikert and Polis established the Cryptocurrency Tax Fairness Act, while other U.S. lawmakers have been also drafting legislative rules for digital assets.

According to a recent report, cryptocurrency advocacy among elected politicians concerns members of the Sunlight Foundation, a government transparency think-tank, the Office of Government Ethics, and other transparency groups. 

“Whether a member of Congress has holdings of bitcoin is relevant to our understanding of where someone’s interests might lie,” Alex Howard the Sunlight Foundation’s deputy director explains in an interview.

Way off-topic, but you're plagiarizing articles without linking the source. You've done this with every post you've made since joining the forums. The mods frown upon that here in the forums, so for future reference, you should really link the source of your article. Otherwise, it appears like you're trying to pass it off as your own.

For reference, the article that OP has plagiarized can be found here: https://news.bitcoin.com/drafting-laws-and-hodling-u-s-congress-discusses-cryptocurrency-disclosure/

There's much more than what OP has posted, so go get the full context by clicking on the link.

I am really happy about the progress the discussion has made from when I read about it last year because there is need for direction especially in the US from what I have read about how they were being taxed at every trade made and some other things that intends to frustrate every activities that aids the penetration of crypto currency but with the law its expected to look at grey areas, regulate the excesses of those saddled with the responsibility of managing it and the fact that its going to be made public will mean we all know about it.
Away from there, its also going to spread to other countries who have the mind of regulating bitcoin for them to take a clue from that of the US.
