During the 'BITCOIN: EXAMINING THE BENEFITS AND RISKS FOR SMALL BUSINESS' hearing on April 2, 2014, Rep. Velazquez made the following statement in support of Bitcoin: "The relatively recent arrival of digital currencies is one technology that presents significant opportunity. Just as the Internet has empowered entrepreneurs to reach new global markets and identify more efficient ways of doing business, digital currencies like Bitcoin can save small firms on transaction costs....Moreover, should currencies like Bitcoin become widely utilized, they could create competitive pressure for conventional financial institutions to lower transaction fees in an effort to retain small business customers. Beyond allowing small firms to save on transaction costs, Bitcoins offer consumers other advantages. For customer seeking anonymity, Bitcoins provide more privacy than credit card transactions."
