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!
We already have successful mining ops here. Creating a crypto safe haven w ’s economy and a step toward restoring balance b/w DC and the states per the 10th Amendment.

MASSIVE BRREAKING: A bill to protect 'fundamental #Bitcoin rights' has PASSED the Senate and House in the state of Oklahoma!
Once signed by the Governor, this bill will protect:
The right to SELF-CUSTODY!
The right to mine #Bitcoin
The right to run a full node
The right to buy, sell, trade digital assets
A big thanks to the Rep. Brian Hill (@SamuelBrianHill) and Sen. Bill Coleman for sponsoring this legislation.
A huge shoutout also needs to be given to the @oklahomabtc which is led by @_BTCstorm. Without their support, and work to push this legislation forward, it is unlikely this legislation would have been successful. We are proud to work closely with their team.
If you are a Bitcoin business operating in Oklahoma, be sure to send support to the @oklahomabtc.
Urgent Call for Support:
The passage of this bill in the Senate and the imminent signing into law by the Governor do not come easy. Your support is crucial. This is a pivotal moment for #Bitcoin in America, and by rallying together, we can ensure these fundamental rights are solidified.

There are a lot of reasons to support this piece of legislation, but given recent attempts to attack self-custody, there has never been a more important time to defend this inalienable right.
The very idea that 'We the People' cannot hold our own assets is antithetical to what it means to be an American.
Without the ability to manage our own wealth and assets, we are no longer in control of our own destiny. We are no longer able to forge a better path for ourselves and our families.
This is why it is critical to ensure that Americans (and all people of the world) are able to secure not only their #Bitcoin but ALL their assets.
Oklahoma is now leading the nation and showing the world that it will stand up for the individual right to hold and self-custody #Bitcoin.
MINING AND RURAL JOB GROWTH
Additionally, this bill protects and encourages the growth of #Bitcoin mining in the state.
#Bitcoin mining has the potential to balance the grid, cleanup the environment, deliver local investment, and create rural jobs.
Oklahoma, a state with boundless energy, can greatly benefit from this technology. Wether its managing the intermittency from its wind farms or mitigating methane emissions from abandoned oil wells, #Bitcoin has the ability to monetize wasted and stranded energy.
The added benefit of tackling stranded and wasted energy is that #Bitcoin miners will be investing into local electrical infrastructure in rural and remote areas of the state. Developing in rural areas also means there there will be rural jobs created.
Small towns and rural areas have been left behind over the last 50 years by the tech boom, but now, #Bitcoin is generating new opportunities for these communities.
THIS IS WHY THIS BILL MATTERS!
But we cannot pass laws to protect and defend #Bitcoin usage in the USA without your support. Please consider becoming a monthly donor so we can continue to fight for #Bitcoin in the USA!

Onward and upward for #Bitcoin. 🚀 2024-04-26T19:51:17.000Z
