This rule is a brazen attempt to undermine the pro-crypto policies of the incoming Trump administration and Republican Congress. President Trump and Republicans promised the American people we will promote those policies and received a mandate to do so.

Today is a monumental day in the history of cryptocurrency and #Bitcoin.
12 years ago, a man traded 10,000 Bitcoin for 2 pizzas.
This was the first transaction ever.
I’m proud to see Texas develop into a crypto oasis —a testament to the Lone Star State’s ingenuity and entrepreneurial spirit.

#Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies are good.
Central Bank Digital Currencies are bad.
Liberals and the CCP hate crypto because they can’t control it—it’s decentralized.
A CBDC is run by a state’s central bank and it can monitor every transaction you make.
The CBDC is an assault on our liberty, privacy, and freedom.
That’s why I introduced a bill to block the US from creating one.

Federal Reserve Officers are not elected officials – or held accountable by the public.
It will be a disaster if they rollout a CBDC.

Texas is a hub for jobs and innovation, so it makes sense that our state has become a hub for the crypto community. Most legislators in DC don’t understand this industry, so they shouldn’t be supporting new regulations until they understand how it works.
