West Virginia, that stubborn old mule of a state, is suddenly prancing like a stallion in the Bitcoin arena. 🎩🐎 Senator Bill 143 (SB143), introduced by the ever-so-charming State Senator Chris Rose, has tongues wagging and wallets twitching. Dubbed the Inflation Protection Act of 2026, it’s less about protecting and more about pouncing-on gold, silver, platinum, and that elusive digital phoenix, Bitcoin. The bill, with all the subtlety of a sledgehammer, requires digital assets to have a market cap of at least $750 billion, effectively rolling out the red carpet for BTC alone. Stablecoins? Sure, but only if Uncle Sam gives the nod. It’s a hedge against inflation, they say, but let’s call it what it is: a moonshot for the Mountain State.
