This is a great decision by the OK state legislature.
It protects Oklahomans’ liberty from an out of control federal gov’t that wants total control over its citizens.
Would love to see Iowa do the same!

@balajis has written a great summary of why Bitcoin is so important. This is why I first fell 'down the rabbit hole' 11 years ago. Bitcoin changed how I think - not just about money, but how we operate as a society.

@MaherLinds87412 @realDonaldTrump @RonDeSantis @NikkiHaley This IS part of my platform. I intend to be the strongest advocate for digital assets and crypto in Congress. Americans need access to hard money that doesn’t lose 5-10% of its purchasing power every year. What’s more important than that?

Glad to see @realDonaldTrump taking a stand against CBDCs!
Americans need access to hard money like gold and Bitcoin. But we don't need 'money' that unelected bureaucrats can block access to, at their whim.

Unpopular opinion (for crypto people): Yes there's a lot to disagree with in the @GaryGensler interview today.
But he's right in that the crypto industry needs to be cleaned up. It's riddled with scams and 'rug pulls'. This industry is starved for real leadership. x.com/kvirgil/status…

#SEC Chairman Gensler on #CNBC now: "We don't need more digital currencies. The US dollar, euro and yen are already digital."
I don't even know where to begin with this ignorant comment. Crypto was created to act as an alternative to the systemic failures of fiat currency.

RIP 'crypto banks', an abomination that should never have happened. Nexo was the lone survivor after Celsius, Voyager & BlockFi failed.
This clears the field for better & transparent DeFi apps that aren't run by polyamorous kids on a tropical island.

The crypto community is celebrating how 'energy-efficient' $ETH is (free burritos at @ChipotleTweets!), but not many are pointing out how the SEC is now claiming jurisdiction over it.
Terrible situation for a 'censorship-resistant' blockchain to be in.

The people who oppose #Bitcoin and #Ethereum won't change their minds because blockchain energy consumption just dropped 99%.
Energy consumption is a smokescreen. Their true objections are more philosophical and fear-based. x.com/haydenzadams/s…

Great article and well stated.
It is impossible for US crypto companies to comply with the law when the supposed lawmaker refuses to tell the community what the law is.

@SenShelby just shut down the #crypto amendment to protect his biggest donors (the banks you bailed out in 2008).
He's 87 & retiring. His CoS @KatieBoydBritt is his anointed successor.

Sen @MarkWarner has betrayed his roots as a venture capitalist by introducing a bill that threatens to curtail America’s ability to compete. Crypto and #DeFi are our best chance to change the financial services industry for the better, and Warner has sided with the status quo.
