Texas has made gold and silver legal tender through new legislation signed by Governor Greg Abbott on June 29, 2025. The groundbreaking law allows residents to use precious metals for everyday purchases, and it’s creating quite a buzz in financial circles right now. This makes Texas one of the few states where gold and silver transactions are officially recognized for daily commerce.
Could be a real change if he actually made Bitcoin a legal tender. Although such bills are celebrated as great move, they are more symbolic than operational. But who knows, if we see a real economic downturn in economy these laws will aid people's woes for sure.

Who cares what the legislators have to say about bitcoin? What accelerates adoption is small merchants accepting it and people who have bitcoin buying from them using bitcoin. Fuck these laws.
