In a twist of political strategy, US politicians are using cryptocurrency to divert attention from less favorable news. Republican Matt Gaetz, under investigation for misconduct, introduced a bill for IRS to accept Bitcoin for tax payments. Meanwhile, Donald Trump, facing legal challenges, announced his campaign would accept crypto donations and plans to boost US Bitcoin mining if reelected. Even President Biden, criticized for his stance on crypto, reportedly attended a roundtable on digital assets. In this election year, it seems crypto is the new political football. 🏈
