Where ya at? I would love to buy a mountain house, I’m in Vegas so unless you’re in AZ, you probably don’t have the temps we do here lol.. but an hour north it’s 20-25° cooler which feels great when it’s 117°!!

Might sound crazy but honestly I could see this happening. The US, China, and a few other major countries have a BTC reserve. I believe NH and AZ now have reserves. Pakistan just announced they are starting a BTC reserve. If Afghanistan with its $410B economy has a BTC reserve I could see Apple and it's $3T market cap having a reserve. Just wait until BTC can earn yield; then everything changes.

Tech Eats The Fed The plan is obvious. Trump and his Big Tech backers are here to take over the global financial system from commercial banks to central banks to SWIFT. The plan is to slowly but surely make the existing system irrelevant, usurping government control for their own. In 2025, the projected net interest income of the banking sector was US$632.11 billion. That will soon belong to the big tech industry. A parallel monetary system under private dynastic control is being set up, with Donald Trump at the helm, with the assistance of the American Congress. Congress is paving the way for Big Tech to print money and create their own global currencies by approving the GENIUS Act. This is all done under the tenuous and debated suggestion that stablecoins pegged to USD will reinforce the dollar. However, when these private monetary networks are established and entrenched, they will not only threaten the banking sector and the dollar but also threaten the political stability of states as a whole. After pushing back against the bill, 16 Democratic Senators flipped to help the bill pass cloture. The votes came from: Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY), who co-sponsored the bill, Adam Schiff (D-CA), Angela Alsobrooks (D-MD), Mark Warner (D-VA), Ruben Gallego (D-AZ), John Fetterman (D-PA), Cory Booker (D-NJ), Catherine Cortez Masto (D-NV), Ben Ray Luján (D-NM), Elissa Slotkin (D-MI), Maggie Hassan (D-NH), Martin Heinrich (D-NM), Jon Ossoff (D-GA), Alex Padilla (D-CA), Jacky Rosen (D-NV), and Lisa Blunt Rochester (D-DE). While these Senators should be primaried for their complicity, there is some speculation as to why they flipped their votes. It has been reported that the chief of staff of Senator Gillibrand, the bills co-sponsor, invoked her role as chair of the campaign arm of the Democratic party going into 2026. This was done to suggest that campaign support could be tacitly linked to how senators voted on the bill. Gillibrand has long been an ally to the crypto industry, receiving over $217,000 in campaign support from Coinbase, Ripple, Uniswap Labs, Andreessen Horowitz, and dYdX Trading.2 Under our noses, big tech has purchased political access and used that political access to ascertain financial dominance. Slowly but surely, regulation has been undone, oversight has been dismantled, and regulation has been rolled back. All of the Ethics oversight bodies, from the SEC to the Office of Government Ethics, have been gutted, meaning there is no one to stop this. The independence of the Federal Reserve via Wilcox v Trump, citing Humphreys Executor v the United States) is being challenged3, and Trump has noted that conflict of interest laws do not apply to him and that he has broad immunity for official actions he takes as President.

AZ governor vetoed a bill that would allow state treasury/pensions to invest in bitcoin, but signed a weaker one allowing the state to retain abandoned digital assets

Ok-Quit9306

They still believe its a scam despite the US strategic reserve, NH strategic reserve, AZ strategic reserves, ETF's, etc etc. Super intellegent group over there.

Financial_Clue_2534

So rn there are states that are pushing for a Bitcoin reserve. Most have fail either in the state congress or the governor vetoed it. NH is the first state to OK it saying it could hold 5% of their $$$ in any crypto above $500m in market cap. In AZ it failed at the governor due to “untested asset” but they will hold crypto that people do not claim. Which im trying to find out why AZ would have other people’s crypto.

Ordinary-Original520

This news may be pushing the price up tonight, but idk History made today in AZ

Bullshirting

The vetoed bill said AZ could directly buy a ton of Bitcoin. The signed bill just says AZ can hold confiscated crypto in reserve. The governor stated she vetoed the first one because she didn't want AZ pensions heavily investing in crypto right now.

TheMoonMoth

AZ governor vetoed it. AZ is out of the race for a while.

SpontaneousDream

Wow I am genuinely surprised Katie Hobbs signed the Arizona SBR bill after vetoing the prior one. Wonder what changed? Maybe it was the backlash she got but damn it is refreshing to see a politician put aside party BS for once and actually be willing to change their vote. This is not just a small state like NH either, AZ is a \~$500 billion GDP economy, roughly equal to about Norway/Thailand/Austria. It's beginning. Altcoiners...come home to daddy Bitcoin...

RoyKent12

TwoCarz

I think AZ was trying but someone blocked the bill. Pretty sure FL is doing something similar. It's definitely catching on with governments globally

gizram84

Hobbs? She's the authoritarian political snake from AZ. Did you mean Ayotte?

gizram84

Is this your first time ever following any politics in the US? As I've explained to you in previous posts, this is routine. This happens every day. Whenever the legislature and the governor/president are of *different* parties, this exact situation happens. The legislature passes bills that they otherwise would not pass. I've even given you text examples of this playing out with other bills. I'll gladly shut up if AZ elects a republican governor, and then the legislature passes this bill again. Until then, my default assumption is political theater. Florida is my hope for the next state to actually get this signed into law. The legislature wants it, and DeSantis said he'll sign it. They have a realistic shot of getting it through. AZ is nothing but a dumpster fire at this point. > It’s truly a wildly authoritarian position to attempt to restrict people from owning assets or currencies. I completely agree. What's that got to do with what we're talking about?

gizram84

I don't think my point is that confusing. I'm saying this particular situation in AZ is political theater.

gizram84

The AZ republicans would have never passed this bill if a republican governor was in place. This was all a show. They knew she would veto it, so they fast tracked it, just to have a talking point. Hobbs is still a shithead. But I don't think AZ was ever really in contention for trailblazing the bitcoin strategic reserve. NH was first, and my money is on FL being second.

Shame on Gov Hobbs of AZ for being so shortsighted.

Repost for who missed it: in Nov 2026, Arizona will likely have a new governor * Katie Hobbs had a slim majority of 0.6% in 2022 (17,117 votes) * ~300,000 people hold Bitcoin in AZ * Bitcoin-holders now vote 62%-38% for candidates who understand Bitcoin

Logvin

Did you even read the legislation? It was up to 10% of the state pension's fund could be invested. It's not the state's money, or the residents of AZ. It is the people who worked in state government and are part of the pension program.

So you are one of the many who are destroying that beautiful state. Keep doing it, don't forget go after the guns. AZ has lots of guns and you should focus on guns and get them all banned like a moron. By the way you're in the wrong state, you should move to a blue state like California or NY you would be better off, you're actually the problem when you start educating yourself on facts.

Logvin

>Democrats pick the wrong hills to die on There are plenty of pro-crypto Democrats, and there are plenty of anti-crypto Republicans. Republicans tend to be more vocal about it, as they tend to be more vocal about economic topics. In AZ we have seen skyrocketing housing pricing, our homeowners insurance doubling in the last two years, and massive turmoil due to ICE immigration raids. I would love to see Bitcoin be the most controversial topic, but right now the bulk of the Democrats are focused on preventing our slide into fascism not on BTC.

Logvin

I proudly voted for her, and will do so again. I'm not going to vote for the lunatics the AZ GOP put forward. The sponsor for this bill is a self-described white nationalist that has been censured by the AZ Senate for calling for political rivals to be hung. That is the person you are supporting. I would love to see AZ create a strategic bitcoin reserve. I prefer not having bigoted assholes who call for political violence to be in charge more.

Tebundo

Imagine being into BTC and living in AZ and voting for this dumb broad.

Logvin

It’s not a shame she’s a Dem. I live in AZ, and the GOP ran an absolute nutbag MAGA cultist who spent her time on the campaign trail spreading hate, disinformation, and just being an aweful human. I would like her to sign this, but I would like my friends, family, and neighbors not being persecuted for being gay/not white/ not citizens far more. Bitcoin will survive regardless of her veto. There are humans who would not if Kkkari Lake would have won.

4 states have released house bills to start investing. TX, AZ, FL & NH NH actually passed & created House Bill. It now goes to the Senate for approval & then our Governor has to sign off. 🤷🏻 Even if it does get approved it's months (60 days) away from actually "purchasing/investing".

The 109k sellers are gone, another bounce of the 350 MA like last summer, positive catalysts and feedback loops forming. 1) 26 States have legislation moving on strategic reserves 5-10% investment. 3.7T in non federal budgets total. AZ, NH, OK, TX being closest to final approval. 2) Interest rate cuts are in the forecast. Cheap money coming 3) International laws and Federal laws on the tail end. Strategic reserves, ability to utilize in purchases-commerce. 4) The cycle, something, something

TSMC is struggling to find skilled labor at the facilities in AZ. They even started several industry specific courses through the local community colleges. Apparently American labor isn't willing to work the insane amount of hours the workers in Taiwan regularly do. But the skills/education gap seems like the most likely culprit. I fully agree we should be manufacturing more chips here in the States. Avoid hardware back doors, and other engineered exploits. At least for critical systems.

Illustrious-Boss9356

Us human beings are very relative-thinking beings... so when the world changes, the perception/value of everything changes. But just because there are correlated movements, doesn't mean quality at the end of the day won't win out. A good example is during the 07/08 housing collapse, beautiful waterfront properties could be had for 65% of the cost they were selling for just 2 months prior. Did those houses become any less valuable? Nope. And what happened when the world normalized in 2010-2019? The quality rose to the top and waterfront properties in food markets outperformed lower quality houses (like stickbuilt mass produced stuff in Phoenix, AZ or Las Vegas, NV). Nothing is immune to market forces. Some things will have negative correlation. But over time fundamental quality will rise to the top.

These Orangies are completely out of touch with reality. No sane independent is going to vote for Trump. And that's what either party needs to win -- the moderates. He is the best at getting *his* base to get out and vote, no question. A master showman and emotional manipulator, who plays the average Fox News viewer like a fiddle. But as his base gets more and more extreme, their absolute numbers shrink. You can't just take away the reproductive rights of half the country, align with religious extremists, [try to defraud democracy](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trump_fake_electors_plot), [break laws](https://apnews.com/projects/trump-investigations-civil-criminal-tracker/) with the reckless abandon of a mafia boss, base your campaign around racist/sexist ad hominem attacks -- while offering no *actual* policy critiques of your opponent, or explanations of your own -- and expect to win. Look at the GOP platform from last month...it's self-contradictory and doesn't explain *how* they plan to do shit. It reads like a grade school class president campaign. And no matter how hard he tries to distance himself from Project 2025, nobody's buying his innocence...[lies dribble out of his mouth like breathing](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/False_or_misleading_statements_by_Donald_Trump). The GOP hasn't been a political party since 2016; they're a cult of personality now...which can never survive beyond the viability of their chosen leader as a candidate. [Harris has closed the polling gap](https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/polls/president-general/2024/national/) and extended her lead to 3% within a few weeks of getting the tap. She *just* announced Walz, a highly popular Midwest governor, as her running mate **ten days ago**. Trump was going to struggle to beat Biden, and now **he's** the stumbling, bumbling, old fool. He is going to get **destroyed** in the debate against someone who can actually speak competently and can fact-check him in real time. His popularity will deteriorate even more rapidly from there. The gap is going to continue to grow and while I think Trump's stranglehold on, for example, the Bible belt states won't overturn, it's clear that the major battleground states (MI, WI, PA, GA, AZ) are going to either strengthen or flip for Harris by November. I'm sure all the MAGAts are gonna come out of the woodwork and downvote this without offering coherent, well-researched, and sourced counterpoints, but it doesn't really matter what they think. They are delusional and too well-insulated in their bubble. I live in rural WI and I can tell you (anecdotally) that things are *very* different here now than even before Biden's shitty debate performance. Once Trump gets womped harder than 2020, his grip on the GOP will lessen and *actual* conservatives similar to Liz Cheney and Mott Romney will make a big push for power. It will probably take an extra election cycle for the Trumpies to get voted out, but in 2032 hopefully we will see a return to normalcy and be able to put this dark chapter behind us.

They can partner with utilities to smooth demand and ultimately reduce peak load from an incremental perspective - more energy sold but less drastic peaks. I’m actually at a renewables conference right now in AZ and was talking to a company this morning about it. There’s no cookie cutter fit to this as all of us utilities have different generations mixes and load profiles but I think there are opportunities to get creative where all parties win with (1) more rate-based generation for utilities, (2) discounted power for miners, and (3) reduced rates for customers.

julius_sphincter

Selling crypto isn't income though. It is a taxable event as capital gains, which federally is 15% I believe for long term which this obviously would be. Fuck it, I'd happily pay 15% on 1000 bitcoin at $69420. Even if he lives in a state with their own capital gains tax I'd do it. Though if I lived in CA I'd probably move to Nevada or AZ first

CryptoJumpman23

A couple years ago, I was flying to San Diego for my honeymoon and we had a layover in Phoenix, AZ. During the hour and a half layover, my wife and I grabbed coffee and a snack, and sat and waited for our plane to board. As they announced boarding was about to begin, some guy randomly sat down next to me and started asking me questions like where I was headed, how long I was going for, why was I going, etc. After becoming defensive by the personal questions the random man was asking me, he flashed a Phoenix police department badge at me and then proceeded to ask if I had cash on me and if he could search my bags. I look over and a lady, also not in uniform, was sitting on the other side of my wife questioning her as well. The whole thing was surreal. Long story short, I admitted to him I lied about having cash in my bag, at this point realizing these random people likely really were undercover officers, and he quietly asked me how much. Scared, I told him “$10,000”. He sorta laughed, and he said “ohh we’re looking for more like $100,000”. Searched my wife and I’s bags in front of everyone, didn’t find the amount of money he was looking for, and then let us on our way to board the plane. The ordeal was humiliating, I felt like my privacy had been invaded, and I couldn’t believe he could have just that easily taken my cash and called it a day. These days, I buy bitcoin.. and I haven’t bought a plane ticket since!!!

Because that last bit, "fairly scalable", isn't true. The best way to scale something is centralized compute, with distributed nodes only used to reduce latency and bandwidth usage. That's the whole reason L2s exist, and there are a dozen other workarounds to the scale problems faced by these systems. Most "Blockchain companies" aren't using public blockchain, they're hosting their own private or semi-private "Blockchain" which at that point is basically just a database and maybe a hashed record of the DB. This is because public blockchain is stupidly expensive compared to *anything else*, so of course it's not being used by these projects. That would just eat up funding and/or reduce the size of the bag they can run off with when everything fails.

Interesting. How much more expensive is toilet-to-tap than building a pipeline? Not sure why AZ wouldn't want to go that route instead unless we're talking a difference in the hundreds of millions.

And not this past 4 weeks of Phoenix, AZ room temperature either!

I’ve got a couple plots of land in the desert in AZ and in CA, like 2 acres middle of nowhere, but I’d happily unload each of em for like .1 BTC. Now that’s definitely not what dreams are made of, but there’s some cheap land out there lol

What was it last time? 60k votes...AZ, NV and GA were key. Just 2% would have mattered...I think it's important as I sometimes vote on 1 issue.

AZ would have made a good name, but brand is already taken ...

If you live in a swIng state like PA, GA, FL, AZ, WI, NC, IA, MICH, OH, the Crypto community is counting on you to register to vote, set your political differences aside, and vote for either RFK (Dem) or DeSantis (rep) in the primary. It's important to at least get someone who isn't anti-crypto into the white house in 2024, and show Washington that the crypto community has political power.

That's pretty much how the Mesa, AZ cop executed a civilian. And got an early pension for it.

Damn mine fall into the ocean during a fishing trip in AZ

gandalfsgonads

As much as I’d expect, but I eagerly await it growing in AZ. No one really takes it as payment beyond select trades people(for example, I accept btc for massage as an LMT).

She's pro crypto, but people in AZ hate her

Who would have expected when I joined Reddit 10 years ago while I was sitting in a train reading Askreddits to kill the time.. I would end up with a bunch of crazy degens, who I have lots of fun with and create a little crypto income on the side Guys and gals to 10 more years!  Positive vibes for all of you ❤️👑
