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.”

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.
