In Accepting Bitcoin, Rand Paul Raises Money and Questions
This post talked about Republican presidential candidate Rand Paul and his recent announcement of his running. In his speech, he told his supporters that they could contribute to his campaign through a website that makes donations almost impossible to track, a controversial move in the world of politics. Because donations are anonymous, large companies could create false names and accounts and contribute heavily to this campaign, something that is banned but could be attempted through this process.
