Newsom has been quite vocal on Twitter about his latest move:
California“Oh, right. Want to try a #bitcoin political donation? Step right up:
http://www.gavinnewsom.com/donate-bitcoin,” he tweeted.
“Hey @jaredpolis, thanks for leading the way. My mission? To raise more #bitcoin than you. Game on?,” Newsom wrote soon after.
“Thinking about how to make #bitcoin donations a regular thing in politics. Thoughts, @jonmatonis and @gavinandresen?” Newsom later added.
