Sc not on the map 🥴

Don't be ridiculous. Of course it's Texas. 🤠

Utah is in the lead thus far!

TX needs to light a fire under their ass and move!

I would not be surprised if they leapfrog the competition.

There's still plenty of time.

You underestimate the Republic of Texas good sir.

OH ..IO

Wendy Rogers floats bitcoin reserve - Sedona Red Rock News

On Jan. 14, Arizona Sen. Wendy Rogers [R-District 7] and Arizona Rep. Jeff Weninger [R-District 17] introduced Senate Bill 1025, the Strategic Bitc...

Biggest problem AZ has currently is Katie Hobbs, and the senator who sponsored it is a bit hated. She was disavowed by her own party 3-4 years ago.

Ohio just joined the race today, right?

wtf ND

Why are some states listed twice?

The Bitcoin reserve today mirrors the Gold reserve path of 1933 because both represent state-controlled monetary consolidation, stripping individuals of financial sovereignty while empowering governments to dominate the financial system. Here’s how this leads to full-scale regulatory capture: 1. Centralization Through Confiscation or Coercion In 1933, Executive Order 6102 forced individuals to surrender gold, allowing the government to seize monetary control and inflate the dollar without resistance. Today, governments accumulate Bitcoin through confiscations (Mt. Gox, Silk Road seizures), taxation, and custodial regulations, slowly centralizing supply. 2. Suppression of Private Self-Custody In 1933, private gold ownership was criminalized, forcing people into fiat. Governments today demonize self-custody, promoting KYC-heavy, custodied Bitcoin solutions (ETFs, custodial wallets, regulated exchanges)—ensuring they have ultimate control. 3. Legal & Regulatory Capture Once the U.S. centralized gold, it was easy to manipulate pricing, devalue the dollar, and impose financial controls. If governments amass enough Bitcoin, they could set legal precedents restricting private usage—via CBDCs, taxation, or outright bans—while hoarding Bitcoin for themselves. 4. Inflationary Escape Hatch for the State Gold reserves allowed the government to stabilize its debt expansion post-Depression. Bitcoin reserves give governments a lifeline as fiat currencies collapse, ensuring they survive financial turmoil at the expense of the public. 5. Pathway to a Fiat-Backed Bitcoin Standard Just as gold was once the standard, Bitcoin could become a state-controlled backing for a new digital fiat system (CBDCs), not for individual freedom, but as a monetary weapon. The Endgame: State Monopoly Over Bitcoin, Just Like Gold If the government successfully hoards enough Bitcoin while suppressing private ownership, it can: ✔️ Dictate Bitcoin regulation and pricing ✔️ Tax transactions at will ✔️ Crush non-compliant alternatives (e.g., Monero, privacy coins, non-KYC Bitcoin use) ✔️ Enforce centralized custody via institutional products (e.g., BlackRock ETFs) Just as gold went from a people’s store of value to a state-controlled asset, Bitcoin risks becoming state-captured digital gold, unless people resist custodial solutions and fight for self-custody. History is repeating. The only question is—will people comply, or will they hold the keys this time?

Bad developers?

Oof

Forget the federal BS. This is way more interesting 👇

What site is this? Awesome! 🔥

Nope! It's because they're two different bills.

Interesting

Didn’t know Mormons were bitcoin maxis

Some are “general bills” and some are SBR specifically. So states that are listed twice could have both in process

My money is on Utah. Mormons will make money off anything they can.

Lol you're too jaded 😂

Been burned before one too many times 😂

What does black signify?

Rejected. I see where ND was rejected, but I don't see that for WY though.

Indiana has also started the process

South Dakota

Ideally none of them.

Looks like Battleship. D.9

Polymarket bet yet?

I heard that Utah has the fastest legislative window.

Doesn't change the fact that Utah is in the lead so far.

State governments are who we really want establishing Bitcoin Strategic Reserves. We've all been thinking US vs Foreign countries, nobody thought about the states themselves competing against each other as well! We're picking up steam.

Butan 😁

Ok that makes sense.

you should start a pool: Ross’ Reserve Race

Mormonism is incredibly aligned with bitcoin. And the state has been waking up to the silent political capture it has been under. Good chance it’s Utah.

Same... where is WY?
