The state of Florida has an interesting relationship with Bitcoin. The sunshine state has seen many legal cases on the subject most notably the recent Michell Espinoza trial. Amid the proceedings, lawmakers in Florida are preparing to draft legislation that may finally recognize Bitcoin as a currency.

I wonder if the FL governor would sign any bill sent to his desk? I have heard both sides argue their perspective. One thing is for certain, some recent court rulings in the States have now allowed for a Gov sanctioned custodian (actually more than one now) to offer IRA's for bitcoin. Notwithstanding whether or not that is a safe investment, at least its progress towards general audience with the public. OMG if one of those BTC IRA custodians get hacked it will set us back over here by years and years with the public!! Even if they are insured the turmoil politically from such a hack would be terrible (using a polite word instead of the one I was thinking).
