Wyoming lawmakers recently debated several important bills about Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. They've been trying to make Wyoming a great place for digital money for almost 10 years! Some lawmakers wanted Wyoming to invest state money in Bitcoin, but others thought it was too risky.
- One bill wanted to let Wyoming invest up to 3% of its money in Bitcoin to keep up with rising prices.
- Another bill aimed to stop the government from creating a new type of digital money controlled by the central bank.
- A third bill tried to protect Wyoming's rights to use cryptocurrencies without federal interference.
