Some areas in the United States may have been tightening their policies over the use of digital currencies, but there are those who want to look after the bitcoin users in their state.
Take Texas for example.
Last week, a lawmaker proposed a constitutional amendment seeking to protect the right to own, hold and use digital currencies like bitcoin in the state. Rep. Matt Schaefer sponsored the Texas House Joint Resolution 89, which will amend Article I of the Texas state constitution to protect the right to use any “mutually agreed upon medium of exchange,” according to a CoinDesk report.
If passed, the amendment will stop the government from interfering with the use or ownership of digital currencies in the state.
