While Wall Street and Washington D.C. often dominate Bitcoin news headlines, real adoption is quietly happening in unexpected places. A new episode of The Clear Crypto Podcast explores how Bitcoin has become a part of daily life in Oklahoma, a state not traditionally associated with cryptocurrency.
As Matthew Moore, a broadcaster and educator who has become an influential Bitcoin advocate in Oklahoma, explains, Bitcoin adoption in the state looks different from the stereotype of crypto as a coastal or tech-centric phenomenon. Small businesses in towns across the state are accepting Bitcoin for goods, and Bitcoin meetups are flourishing. This grassroots adoption is driven by a desire to solve financial problems that Bitcoin was designed to address.
Moore emphasizes the importance of education, especially among older generations who hold a significant portion of US wealth but may not fully understand Bitcoin's purpose. By presenting the problems first, he hopes to help people understand how Bitcoin can be a valuable solution.
Moore has been actively involved in educating lawmakers and shaping Bitcoin-related legislation in Oklahoma. He believes that state governments, rather than the federal government, are likely to lead the way in policy innovation. Oklahoma has already passed two Bitcoin-related bills and is actively considering state-level Bitcoin reserves.
