On September 19, 2021, the software developer and co -founder of Casa, Jameson Lopp, announced a new project called Bitcoinpoliticians.org, which views the financial information of the congress and recorded it in a database. Lopp says the goal is to "create more transparency in terms of possession of bitcoins", and has so far analyzed about 13% of the financial disclosure of the congress.

Jameson Lopp starts Bitcoin politician project

Nowadays, the possession of Bitcoin has developed into an increasing trend by politicians in recent years, in contrast to the early days when bureaucrats regularly criticized the concept. There are definitely a large number of politicians who still hate Bitcoin and the crypto economy, but now the legislators are beginning to recognize the advantages of technology and there are a number of bureaucrats in a variety of countries that now have the leading crypto asset.

members of the congress and other leading US federal governments must disclose their public finances, as was the case during the recent investigation against high-ranking officials from the Federal Reserve and the Fed's chairman, Jerome Powell. The co-founder of Casa Jameson Lopp started a new project called bitcoinpoliticians.org who tries to capture the possession of bitcoins under US bureaucrats.

"On the basis of public financial disclosure, we can know which politicians are actually involved in the congress," explains the website. "Since searching for financial information can be a time -consuming process, the aim of this project is to promote work through crowdsourcing." Lopp-details in a twittering that he has "13 % of the 538 reports" that from the US house , US-Senate , and the USE Executive .

Lopp hopes that the crypto community will help to complete the rest of the reports in order to receive a more precise list of US politicians with Bitcoin holding. "I guess about 40 working hours are necessary to research and fill out the financial information of the remaining 435 congress members on Bitcoinpoliticians.org," added Lopp on Tuesday. "A whole week of work for a single employee, but much less if a few dozen people look up 10 disclosures."

analyzed with 13% only one politician has been mentioned

When searching the list of the US bureaucrats from Senate, House of Representatives and executive, many of the politicians listed have either a "no" or a question mark next to their name. This means that the person either according to his own statement does not have a Bitcoin or that the politician's financial disclosure has not yet been assessed by Lopp or community members. There is only a "yes" sign next to the politicians listed and this person is the Republican Cynthia Lummis.

According to Lopps website, Lummis has around $ 100,000 to $ 250,000 on Bitcoin ( btc ). However, on the Lopp website it is mentioned that Republican Patrick Toomey belongs to the Grayscale products GBTC and ETHE. Bitcoinpoliticians.org announces some American bureaucrats that have gold, such as the Republican Mitt Romney, who has $ 250,000 to $ 500,000. The Republican Joshua Hawley has $ 1,000 to $ 15,000 of the Gold Trust.

Since Lopp's list has not been completely analyzed, this does not mean that Lummis is the only Bitcoin owner. If the disclosures are fully combed, there may be a few other US bureaucrats that have announced that they have the leading crypto-asset.
