Spanish parliamentarians will receive bitcoins as a gift

Members of the Spanish Congress of Deputies will receive bitcoins as a presentation as part of an educational campaign launched by Tutellus and the Blockchain Observatory. The initiative aims to raise public awareness of the role of cryptocurrency in transforming the modern economy and society.

Thus, all representatives of ten parliamentary groups of the Lower House received the equivalent of one euro in the first cryptocurrency. “Probably many of the government officials already have some experience with digital assets, but we would like those who are not yet familiar with the new money to have the opportunity to learn about it,” says Tutellus founder Miguel Caballero. He stressed that at the moment, with the approach of the digital euro, it is necessary to show the citizens of the country not only the advantages, but the risks when using cryptocurrency.

We add that parliamentarians will be able to pay with the received bitcoins in institutions of the country that accept this type of currency.
