Bitcoin Achievement Level Unlocked September 7th
Bitcoiners have been talking about this milestone for years. It's finally here.Bitcoin is a legal sovereign currency. El Salvador made the first move in the global game theory being the first nation to adopt Bitcoin as legal tender. El Salvador's President Nayib Bukele even doubled down by purchasing yet another 200 bitcoins recently - which means, El Salvador now holds 400 bitcoins, worth nearly $21mm at this point in time. Today, Tuesday September 7th, 2021, all eyes globally are on El Salvador as they pioneer the adoption of Bitcoin nationally. Every El Salvadorian will receive $30 in BTC.

Why you should care: To celebrate this momentous milestone, people globally will also be participating in purchasing $30 in BTC (or $300, or $3,000, or $30,000, etc...) in true global communal support. Crypto traders say, Bitcoin will go into a true price discovery phase after this date. In terms of game theory, what other nations will join the ranks of El Salvador? What if the other 150 nations around the world do the same, ahead of the comfortable top G20 nations like the US, Germany, France, China, and South Korea? Game on!

Crypto Recognition And Regulation Heats Up
Cryptocurrencies are now recognized under commercial law in Texas. Two crypto related bills were passed by both chambers in the state legislature in May, and signed into law in June by Greg Abbott (Governor). The laws came into effect on September 1.

Lee Bratchner, President of Texas Blockchain Council said that H.B. 4474 helps to better define the security interests for different cryptocurrencies in order to allow institutional investors to get involved with sizable investments. Nice job, Texas! 

Buy Bitcoin From Your Bank In Oklahoma
Vast Bank, an independent bank based in Tulsa, Oklahoma, has recently become the first bank in the United States with Federal Reserve charter and FDIC insurance to offer Bitcoin and other cryptocurrency services.

The bank’s new Crypto Banking service is available via a user-friendly mobile application which simplifies the buying and selling of cryptocurrencies directly with bank accounts, according to their press release issued on August 25th.

Reminder, whether you're into blockchain, distributed ledger technology, or looking to trade crypto/digital assets, it all starts with the fundamentals, and that means understanding the grandpa of the whole space (the cryptocurrency, the network, the protocol): Bitcoin.
