Oklahoma Senator Dusty Deevers has introduced the "Bitcoin Freedom Act," which would allow residents to receive salaries in Bitcoin and vendors to accept BTC payments. The move aims to safeguard Oklahomans' earnings against inflation.
When introducing the bill, Senator Deevers said, “If Washington D.C. can ruin something, it likely will. And it is certainly ruining the US dollar.” Senator Deevers then went on to praise President-elect Donald Trump’s pro-Bitcoin campaigning, adding, “Bitcoin has arrived into the mainstream of our economy and is unquestionably a significant part of the financial future.”
By opting for Bitcoin, Deevers believes the bill promotes financial choice and paves the way for Oklahoma to take a leadership role in adopting financial technology.
