“US State Representative Mark Warden has added a Bitcoin donation system to his campaign Website, marking the first use of the decentralised virtual currency system by a sitting incumbent politician. He says Bitcoin will allow online transactions that are not ‘subject to the inflationary whims of the Federal Reserve or other central banks’. ‘This is a cutting-edge technology that is market based, voluntary, and extremely innovative,’ counters Warden. ‘I have constituents and vendors who prefer this medium of exchange, so it’s natural to want to respond to the marketplace.'”
