Bitcoin Freedom Act in Oklahoma: New Prospects

3 months ago


Oklahoma Senator Dusty Deevers introduced legislation to allow residents to receive wages in Bitcoin, amid concerns about inflation and dollar volatility.

Background on SB325

Senator Deevers' proposal aims to provide employees with the freedom to opt for Bitcoin wage payments. The bill states businesses could accept Bitcoin for goods and services. Participation is voluntary for both employers and employees.

Bitcoin as a Hedge Against Inflation

A key argument for the bill is Bitcoin's potential as an inflation hedge. Deevers raises concerns over the falling US dollar value driven by high inflation and government spending. Deevers stated, “Inflation resulting from wasteful spending and money creation in Washington D.C. is reducing the value of the earnings of Oklahomans.” Being decentralized and deflationary, Bitcoin allows wealth protection from traditional currency depreciation.

National Leadership and Financial Sovereignty

Senator Deevers criticizes US dollar depreciation, citing government overreach and inflation. He advocates for Oklahoma leading in adopting new technologies like cryptocurrency. Deevers noted Bitcoin’s decentralized nature offers financial sovereignty and privacy, making it an attractive option for protecting wealth from inflation and state control. He also criticized central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) for enabling transaction monitoring and restriction, threatening financial privacy. In contrast, Bitcoin's censorship resistance ensures control without central authority interference.

Deevers's proposal emerges as Bitcoin gains acceptance in the US and worldwide, providing new financial options amid traditional currency volatility.
