Congressman from Ohio introduces bill to allow federal tax payments in bitcoin

The post Congressman com. One of the crypto industry’s longtime Republican allies in Congress introduced a bill to allow individuals and businesses to pay taxes in bitcoin BTC$84,478. 06 without triggering capital gains liability and also directing the funds to the U.
