Bitcoin enthusiasts in California are attempting to make their state the first to recognize cryptocurrency as legal tender A state legislator in California has introduced legislation that would make bitcoin legal money in the state. The action would be in violation of the US Constitution, which provides that Congress has the exclusive authority to declare what is and isn't legal money. According to the Constitution, however, state officials are responsible for defining "legal tender."
How come all of a sudden US has become so much interested in bitcoin. Just today I saw few posts on Instagram saying that US is moving towards becoming the global leader of cryptocurrencies.
Using bitcoin as a legal tender would require so many approvals and personally I feel it won't be happening any time soon.
Also, what do you mean by the term Bitcoin enthusiasts ?
Are they the normal public or higher authorities of US government in California ?
