Crypto ATMs in Federal Buildings? This Texas Congressman Thinks It’s a Great Idea!

The 47-year-old lawmaker is shaking things up with a proposal that could totally change how we think about government buildings – because who doesn’t want crypto ATMs at the post office, right?

Brace Yourself: Crypto ATMs Could Be Coming to Federal Buildings!

Congressman Lance Gooden, representing Texas’ 5th District (because, of course, it’s Texas), has submitted a letter to the General Services Administration (GSA). His big idea? Installing cryptocurrency ATMs in government buildings. Because, you know, people definitely go to courthouses looking for a way to buy Bitcoin. Genius move, right?

The letter was sent to Stephen Ehikian, GSA Administrator, who probably just wanted to get through the day without having to explain this to anyone. The proposal is all about providing a “convenient option for citizens who rely on digital assets.” So if you’ve ever wanted to pay your taxes with Dogecoin at the DMV, well, get ready to live the dream.

Here’s the kicker: Gooden argues that installing crypto ATMs aligns with President Trump’s grand vision of turning the U.S. into “the crypto capital of the world.” So, apparently, Trump’s idea of making America great again is now linked to making it *digitally* wealthy. Think of the possibilities: crypto ATMs in 8,397 buildings. That’s like the ultimate scavenger hunt for your next Bitcoin withdrawal.

Gooden boldly states, “Expanding accessibility to crypto ATMs within federal buildings aligns with President Trump’s vision of positioning the United States as a global leader in cryptocurrency and blockchain technology.” And yes, let’s be clear, he’s really, really sure about this. It’s a huge step toward “solidifying our nation’s status as a superpower in the digital financial landscape.” Because why not? If we can’t solve real-world problems, at least we can spend our lunch breaks mining Ethereum while buying a stamp.
