“Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott, who’s running for governor against Wendy Davis, has a new plan to attract young, digitally-savvy voters: Bitcoin. Abbott’s campaign announced this week that it would officially accept the cryptocurrency donations. In a stump speech on Wednesday, Abbott said, ‘We welcome the Bitcoin community to join our team.’ Bitcoin users tend to be young, white, libertarian males. This is partly because Bitcoin is completely decentralized and outside the Federal Reserve’s purview. While Abbott isn’t one of the politicians calling to ‘End the Fed,’ he is definitely a proponent of states rights. As Attorney General, he sued the federal government 27 times.”
