Former US Congressman Shows Support for Creditbit Project

Steve Stockman, former member of the United States Congress, 1995-1997, 2013-2015, is the latest VIP supporter of the Creditbit Project. The former Congressman showed his support to the project by publically sharing an article titled “There are Plenty of Reasons to Get Excited about Creditbit” on Twitter.

Steve Stockman has supported cryptocurrencies for a long time. In an interview to Nick Spanos in 2013, founder of the Bitcoin Center in New York City, Stockman had described Bitcoin as a way to “keep your money without other people making decisions for you.”

Stockman has previously compared Bitcoin to gold and believes virtual currencies to be the future of finance. Stockman’s stance on virtual currencies stems from his understanding of their importance to counter inflation practices, and as a medium of cheap and quick transactions.

Keeping in line with his views, Steve Stockman had proposed a bill in 2014 to raise awareness and build consensus across the Bitcoin community on virtual currency related government regulations. The bill named “Cryptocurrency Protocol Protection and Moratorium Act,” or CryptPMA was designed to keep the government agencies from interfering with bitcoin and the bitcoin economy.

Steve Stockman was also the first member of the US Congress to accept Bitcoin contributions. Therefore, a supporter of cryptocurrencies from the upper echelons in the US being excited about a new project definitely is good news for it.
