Texas senators agreed to include digital currency in the state’s Bill of Rights, providing individuals the ability to trade and contract for goods and services using digital currencies. The amendment, which gained 139 votes in favour and two votes against, states that no government shall restrict or hinder the possession or use of any form or quantity of money or other currency. HJR 146, introduced by the Texas Constitutional Enforcement group, wants to include digital currencies in the Texas Bill of Rights in order to make a legal argument in federal court. They say that the use of alternative currencies is required to prevent Texans’ financial privacy and wealth from being eroded by an unstable US currency.
