Political donations in virtual currency debate ongoing.

Forbes ran a article stating the government would be discussing the issue further.

The Conservative Action Fund asked the FEC to decide whether PACs could accept Bitcoin donations.

 Senator Mark Warner said that he’s been “following Bitcoin for months” but is only now “wrapping his head around it.” He then remarked offhandedly that the Federal Election Committee recently approved Bitcoin for political donations. But he’s incorrect.

“The Commission discussed the drafts but held over the matter until next Thursday’s open meeting,” says FEC spokesperson Julia Queen. The issue comes up again this Thursday.
