[2014-07-18] New Bitcoin Lobbying, Trade Association Announced WSJ

[Swordsoffreedom]

The Chamber of Digital Commerce announced itself on Saturday at the North American Bitcoin Conference in Chicago. The group is registered as a 501(c)(6) nonprofit, which allows it to act as a lobbyist, and is being led by Perianne Boring, a former journalist and Congressional staffer. It has early backing from RRE Ventures and Tally Capital, which are leading a seed-round of fund raising.

The group’s goal is to “legitimize” the digital currency in the eyes of D.C. policy-makers, and to provide a place where they can get “non-biased” information.

Important step in the right direction, in my opinion.

Heh, and it's "led by Perianne Boring, a former journalist and Congressional staffer".

More of the same, I imagine.

Sounds like a great idea, though this bit did make me laugh:
