Clovr recently surveyed 1,023 registered U.S. voters to learn how the American public views the possibility of political candidates accepting cryptocurrency donations for campaign financing. A majority of 60 percent said cryptocurrency donations should be treated the same as fiat, with only 21 percent disagreeing.

What do people think about this? Do you think this is a good representation of the majority of U.S. voters? Or is 1,000 or so people just not enough?

That's more than I expected. It's not a huge sample, but it gives a confidence interval of +/-3% at a probability of 95%. Chances are pretty high that the results are in the realm of accurate.

It seems tricky to me from a regulatory perspective because of the prohibitions against large anonymous or cash contributions. It's not totally clear what cryptocurrency is in terms of FEC, FPPC, etc. regulations.
