The First US Congressman to Share on Ethereum (ETH) Is Now Back with a Surprise Altcoin!

While Donald Trump and his administration are gaining prominence with their affinity for Bitcoin (BTC) and cryptocurrencies, a new move has come from a Republican congressman.

Accordingly, US Congressman X changed his profile picture to Pudgy Penguin (PENGU).

South Carolina Representative William Timmons has replaced his X profile picture with a character from the Pudgy Penguin NFT collection, a well-known blue-chip NFT project.

The change comes after Timmons promised to use his penguin profile picture if it received 10,000 likes.

The post surpassed that goal within three hours, garnering over 20,000 likes.

Timmons shared the Pudgy Penguin character and said, “If it gets 10,000 likes, I’ll make it my profile picture.”

Timmons, a member of the House Financial Services Committee, is known for his keen interest in cryptocurrencies and NFTs.

Timmons has also been the first US Congressman to previously advocate for revising the ’21st Century Financial Innovation and Technology Act’ and is the first US Congressman to display an Ethereum wallet address in his Twitter bio.

PENGU, which has increased by 2.3% in the last 24 hours, continues to be traded at $0.012.
