Going to be interesting to see how this plays out, how much traction it gets as it winds though the process. Seems on the surface to have some people behind it who are good and getting things done but in the end if there is resistance from other people will they choose to fight for it or pick another battle. In the end with more and more places in general accepting crypto payments I can't see it not happening sooner or later.
Also, what I find interesting is that what is not discussed is the fact that there are some smaller towns in NY that DO take crypto for some things, they are processing with Cashapp / Block / Square / whatever they are calling themselves these days and crypto is an option. But, I don't think they really care, it was just the quickest & easiest way to take credit cards and crypto came along for the ride. I'm reasonably sure that is the case in a lot of places. They really don't care HOW the funds get to them, just that they get them.
