Now at *4* state-level Bitcoin-friendly bills signed into law via open-source model policy while 3 more await votes.

Both the “Reject CBDCs Act” and “Smart Cryptocurrency Rules Act” remain open on GitHub for adaptation and forking for state legislators. 

Happy to chat to anyone on ways to improve or you can directly make a pull request.

These model policies are “negative rights” bills. The goal is to restrain government’s ability to implement bad policies for Bitcoin.

 How does this interact, or not, with the SAF bills?

 We wrote these model policies in 2021-2022 for state legislators to adopt. I’ve worked with many state legislators on these issues and have gotten great feedback. They champion these bills and do a great job.

I can’t speak to any other org and how they communicate on how bills get passed 

 I’m but a humble pleb 

 I was hopping for a spicier answer!! 😂 

A humble servant you are and doing great work, sir! 

 I’m a public policy person who just happens to try to use that knowledge with Bitcoin. Unfortunately, others in the same “space” are mostly influencers with large followings who take and seek credit from others while producing tons of noise with relatively little signal. And in documented cases, have actually erroneously pushed politicians to “veto” some of the most impactful regulatory changes for Bitcoin because they don’t understand law nor regulation.
