Cryptocurrencies or virtual currencies are always a point of debate since their inception. Many people favor them, while many people have points that devalue the currency. It is interesting to find the opinion of top politicians in this regard. Many politicians in the US do not have a positive opinion about cryptocurrencies in general, as the decentralized nature of such currencies will pose a threat to their way of working with the central banks. However, as elections near, they are not in a position to reject donations made through cryptocurrencies. In this regard, let us look at what some top politicians in the US feel about Bitcoin.
