@kendonnelly Yes, if a presidential candidate buys burgers to incentivize people to vote for him, regardless of the form of payment , it can still be considered as an illegal act of bribery. Bribery involves offering something of value to influence someone's actions or decisions in one's favor. In the context of political campaigns, offering goods or services, such as burgers, in exchange for votes or support is against the law as it undermines the integrity of the electoral process and violates campaign finance regulations. Additionally, using cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin for illicit purposes, such as bribery, can also raise concerns related to transparency, traceability, and compliance with financial regulations. Authorities may consider such actions as attempts to circumvent traditional banking systems and evade detection, which could lead to legal consequences for the candidate engaging in these activities.
