State Legislatures 2025, III
2025 State proposals for Bitcoin and digital asset reserves. Many State legislatures are seeking untraditional methods (crypto and gold) to prevent devaluation of their pension funds through inflation or default, the same motive as the BRICS countries.
Please note that it's mostly red States so far. Blue States were still hoping for Federal bailouts until Trump threatened that Maine governor with defunding, I think. I predict another wave of crypto / gold depository bills from blue States in the next few weeks who suddenly realize the pitfalls of centralized, identity-bound money, haha (I've mailed out 140 Gold Token papers so far in 2025).
😄
Anonymous money may enable local criminal activity but identity-bound money enables global tyranny.
Do you see it?
