The poll recieved 46,417 votes with 79.4% saying yes and 20.6% saying no. The crypto community quickly latched onto the poll to advocate that digital currencies like Bitcoin are real money and can be used as currency. Many crypto supporters retweeted the poll adding comments advocating for digital assets instead of fiat money from central banks.
