There isn’t any doubt that big companies like VISA and MasterCard have troops of lobbyists in Washington, D.C. looking after their interests. But a San Diego-based investment firm that focuses exclusively on bitcoin — Falcon Global Capital — is working to even the balance of power. Company managing director Brett Stapper has moved to file paperwork (as of 22 May) to lobby Congress and other federal agencies, according to an LD-1 disclosure, a form used to register as a lobby. According to the form, specific lobbying issues include the “Education and understanding of Bitcoin and other crypto-graphic based currencies.”
