https://twitter.com/Dennis_Porter_/status/1790529917199003836 A bill protecting your ‘fundamental Bitcoin rights’ has been SIGNED INTO LAW in the state of Oklahoma.

Oklahoma will now defend your: ✅ Right to self-custody ✅ Right to spend #Bitcoin and digital assets ✅ Right to mine #Bitcoin ✅ Right to run a node

It will also: ✅ Ban additional taxes when #Bitcoin and digital assets are used as a form of payment ✅ Protect the ability to mine #Bitcoin at home ✅ Eliminate the need for #Bitcoin mining and digital asset validators to obtain a money transmitter license

THE RIGHT TO SELF-CUSTODY IS LAW

Given the recent onslaught of attacks on self-custody, there could not be a more important time to send a message that the right to access and self-custody #Bitcoin and digital assets MUST be protected.

The idea that 'We the People' cannot hold our own assets is antithetical to American values. Without the ability to manage our wealth, we lose control of our destiny and the chance to create better futures for our families. This law ensures that everyone can secure not only their #Bitcoin but all their assets.

With the passage of HB 3594, Oklahoma is now leading the WORLD in defending the individual right to hold and self-custody Bitcoin.

THE RIGHT TO MINE BITCOIN

Bitcoin mining has been under constant attack. This bill promotes #Bitcoin mining in Oklahoma. By protecting the ‘right to mine,’ #Bitcoin gives confidence to companies and investors to operate in Oklahoma, ensuring it can use this new technology to balance the grid, clean the environment, attract local investment, and create rural jobs.

Whether it's managing wind farm intermittency or mitigating methane emissions from abandoned oil wells, #Bitcoin mining can monetize wasted and stranded energy, benefiting local infrastructure and generating opportunities in rural areas left behind by the tech boom.

This bill also ensures the network will maintain its decentralization by protecting your right to mine Bitcoin in the safety of your own home.
