Ted Cruz, a Texas senator, introduced legislation that would let people use cryptocurrency to buy snacks and drinks at the Senate’s snack machines.

On January 25th, Cruz began drafting and introducing his legislation. If approved, it might affect how visitors to the US Capitol utilise cryptocurrency at vending machines and food service establishments.

Cryptocurrency Regulation: Navigating The Legal Landscape

March 17, 2023

According to the Senate’s website, a so-called concurrent resolution is frequently used to make or alter regulations that apply to both houses, and that is the legal basis for the proposed amendments. In this case, the president’s signature is not necessary for the bill to become law, but it still needs to be passed by the House and Senate.

Texas has become a major centre for mining cryptocurrencies like bitcoin (BTC), and Cruz has largely welcomed this development. While touring a cryptocurrency mining facility this past summer, the senator proudly announced that he was eager to spearhead the Senate’s efforts to protect the cryptocurrency industry.

Today I had the pleasure of touring the largest #Bitcoin mining facility in North America in Rockdale!

I am proud to lead the fight for the crypto industry in the Senate.

Crypto-Friendly US Lawmakers Have Proposed New Laws

Cruz has long been an outspoken supporter of cryptocurrency, singling out Bitcoin’s (BTC) decentralised nature as a specific strength of the cryptocurrency. The senator’s Bitcoin purchases last year totaled between $15,000 and $50,000. Back then, fears of a crypto winter were stoked by a sell-off. Between $36,000 and $37,000, bitcoin was trading hands.

The crowdsourced data project “Bitcoin Politicians” lists him as one of eight acknowledged crypto investors in Congress. These are only the ones we know about; other US lawmakers have been open to receiving bitcoin as payment for their services.

Pennsylvania senator Pat Toomey and Wyoming senator Cynthia Lummis, who has written pro-crypto legislation, are both on record as being in favour of the technology. Recently, Pat Toomey introduced a stablecoin bill to establish a regulated framework for monetary transactions.

To the contrary, Senator Cruz is working to make Texas a haven for bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. He thinks it may replace conventional energy storage and be utilised in cryptocurrency mining to profit from the energy used to extract oil and gas.

‘Cryptoqueen’ Boyfriend Gets Five Years in Onecoin Scam

Gilbert Armenta, the former boyfriend of wanted criminal Ruja Ignatovia, received a five-year prison term for stealing over 300 million dollars worth of investments from the investors of the fake OneCoin investors' funds. Gilbert was charged with taking an active role in a conspiracy that defrauded the client's tens of millions in the one coin project where he held a significant position in the defrauding company. The 59- year- old Gilbert was found guilty in 2018 of intent to engage in extortion and money laundering. Who is Cryptoqueen? Ruja Iganatovia OneCoin founder. OneCoin was introduced in early 2014 by Ruja Ignatovia, a citizen of Bulgaria. The venture was a four-billion-dollar high-rise marketing business. According to its supporters, the one coin was the revolution waiting for the financial sector. Additionally, the coin creators said that gold reserves supported the coin and also the blockchain; the creator also said that one coin would become superior to Bitcoin. (BTC) OneCoin’s supporters claimed that the number of coins in circulation was one- hundred and twenty billion and that the coin would be among the most valued cryptocurrencies worldwide. However, all this turned out to be a pyramid scheme since the blockchain, or real cryptocurrency, did not back it up. OneCoin embezzled nearly four billion dollars from millions of investors between its conception and its discovery as a Ponzi scheme in 2016.  Among the ways the investors were scammed was through educational courses for trading cryptocurrencies, for which they had to pay between â‚¬ 100 and 118000 Of this fraud, several investors lost their life savings with the development of Onecoin's case, which has been named one of the biggest and most complex fraud cases in history. Gilbert’s imprisonment has relieved the victims of the fraud, who haven't received reimbursement of their money. This is a step closer to the justice they hope to receive. As of the time of writing,...
