🤑 North Carolina Goes Wild: Pay Your Taxes in Bitcoin While Uncle Sam Watches in Horror!

by

Oh, dearest reader, in this peculiar theatre of fiscal absurdity, North Carolina has birthed a most curious proposition! Like snow in April, lawmakers have scattered their legislative dreams across the chamber floor. 🎭

Picture this, my friends: Representative Neal Jackson, that brave soul, has penned House Bill 920 – a masterpiece of modern bureaucracy that would let us common folk throw our digital coins into the state’s coffers! Oh, what would Pushkin say? 😂

With all the gravity of a Russian winter, they declare: “Digital assets, when properly regulated…” (Don’t you just love how they always add that little ‘properly regulated’ caveat? As if chaos itself could be tamed!) 🌨️

But wait! Not all crypto is worthy of this grand gesture. No, no! The asset must wear a crown worth $750 billion and dance to the tune of $10 billion daily trades. How wonderfully arbitrary, like measuring poetry in rubles! 💰

Bitcoin, that golden child of the digital age, sits alone on this throne of requirements, while Ethereum weeps in the corner like a forgotten samovar. Poor ETH, so close yet so far, with its mere $188 billion market cap! 🎭

The requirements read like a Russian novel – ten years of existence without state support (oh, the irony!), no pre-mining (as pure as fresh snow), and absolutely no oligarchs pulling strings behind velvet curtains! 🎪

And just when you thought the drama couldn’t get more intense, they insist the token must be declared a commodity, not a security – as if the SEC’s blessing were some sort of divine intervention! 🙏

Meanwhile, in another wing of this grand theater, North Carolina dreams of throwing pension funds into the crypto circus – because apparently, traditional investments aren’t exciting enough! What’s next, paying property taxes in digital paintings of bored primates? 🎨
