It's time for states to redeclare their monetary independence from the federal government by promoting freedom of choice in money.

The bill doesnt ban CBDCs, which would be unconstitutional, probably.
A more effective policy would be to simply mandate courts enforce payment in the medium of exchange contracted for between consenting parties. California successfully did this during the Civil War.
As far as I know it's just a PR bill that says Florida won't amend it's version of the UCC to contemplate CBDC as "money," which is a term of art for commercial purposes and doesn't affect legal tender status.
There are certainly other policies that would be more effective at promoting financial freedom, with historical track records, which I've written about.
Great, gonna update. Zapped straight through profile page:
Wallet Connect through alby. Using the current play store version from Google. 0.32.3
#[0], I zapped you like 100,000 sats yesterday because my Amethyst app never gave a confirmation notification and I just kept spamming send!
Gonna ask for a beer on the house when I come in person. 😂
#[1], any thoughts on this bug?
Nostr/Bitcoin Builders, tell me if this would be a useful service:
FOSS BOUNTY ESCROW (noncustodial, Bitcoin native, DLC or FediMint) with THIRD PARTY NEUTRAL evaluation over whether requirements are met by applicant.
Details:
* Third-party neutrals apply to be selected for panel by coordinator service. Compensated from donation funds + application fee. Final decision is oracle triggering payout (or not).
* Bounties are listed on Bounty Board Nostr relays. (E.g., https://nostrbounties.com/)
* Additional funders can select listed bounties to contribute to.
Benefits:
* Third-party adjudication + automatic payouts eliminates discretion of donors and reduces undue influence over FOSS ecosystems.
* Donors don't need to spend time/effort on review unless they disagree (engaging appeal process)
*Devs serving as neutrals get paid for PR review.
* Noncustodial escrow limits liability for coordinator/donors
Basically https://replit.com/site/bounties, but noncustodial, no bolt-on shitcoin, and decentralized dispute resolution.

LFG! Dusty is a beast.
On a Citadel Dispatch a while back (before ordinals/inscriptions) Wiz mentioned adding features to mempool for out of band payments to miners. Would like to hear more about that now.

The only proven method to shield against federal monetary overreach is to support the local business community's freedom to contract in all types of money (including Bitcoin) by requiring court judgments in the contracted-for medium of exchange.

White House to propose Digital Asset Mining Energy tax.
This violates the First Amendment by imposing economic burdens borne disproportionately by publishers (miners) by taxing products consumed in the production of a publication.
I made [this argument](https://www.bitcoinbrief.io/bitcoin-mining-first-amendment/) last summer regarding the NY moratorium:

"But revenue isn’t the point, according to the CEA, which writes in its forthcoming post that 'the primary goal of the DAME tax is to start having crypto miners pay their fair share of the costs imposed on local communities and the environment.'"
Pain is the point with this mining tax.
