“Bitcoin, the alternative sort-of currency whose most ardent fans congregate in that part of the Venn diagram where ‘tech’ and ‘libertarian’ overlap, has always had a political flip-side. Other political organizations have already worked the Bitcoin vein, including candidates in North Dakota and Vermont. Darryl Perry, a libertarian candidate for president in 2016, sent an open letter to the FEC in April informing the commission that his campaign would ‘not be accepting donations in currencies recognized by the federal legal tender laws.’ Instead, Perry will ‘only accept bitcoin, litecoin and precious metals.'”
