Digital currency has become a nearly $1 billion industry in the state, but trading things like Bitcoin could become illegal if the pilot program that allows it to operate outside of strict laws is not replaced with a new law.

You guys DO realize the ethereum blockchain circumvents any national laws right? Crypto was BUILT to be unstoppable. Hawaii is psyoping you into thinking you cannot use it when all they can do is control the fiat onranps. Don't buy their lies please. By crypto instead.
Uhhhh you can't illegalize decentralized things that don't check IP addresses. You can only illegalize the CEX exchanges that are centralized and against crypto ethos anyway. Hawaii thinks it can control things but in reality they don't even know what an ERC20 is yet. They don't know what AI is here yet either.
Out of all the things you do to us. At least give us this. We see how corrupt you are and we let it go.
Let this one go. give us a chance to safely trade we going do um anyway. All you guys doing is making it less convenient like the dmv.
We still going buy cause we no trust you. What you resist persist, like da fireworks you see every year when you threaten the people they still goin blow there money.
Get wit the program. If you just let us have this we can be safer investing instead of going through back doors. We we get rich you get our tax money.
<I’m new to cryptocurrency and I don’t understand how it really works.Can someone guide me on the right approach to investing and making profit from cryptocurrency investment?
Well several bills unfortunately did not pass this year!!!!!
HAWAII IS SO ASS BACKWARDS 💯
Hi everyone, I’m actually looking for a good trader that can help me trade and make good profits, but it’s very hard to see a trusted one..Any idea..
I'm going to give the state the middle finger and use a VPN
Good. Ban it, just like everything else the people want. Unless you are a special person, like a politician, cop, rich.
DORAEMON INU is the evolution in the market financial ..m
Good, crypto is the biggest scam anyway.
Crypto is the future, if they get rid of now it its only gonna put Hawaii way behind when they realize they need to get on board with it
Block chain technology runs on a distributed network and is an unchangeable, permanent record of property and events. It can be used to keep politicians accountable and replace Bankster’s as the central financers. That is why they don’t want to have it.
This has to be the most stupid thing ever. The state constantly screws Hawaii Residence anyway possible
Wth I'm into crypto
If it passes I'll start drinking and driving drunk if rep Sharon har can do it so can I 🍻🇨🇦
CRYPTO CURRENCY: the preferred currency of 9 out of 10 drug cartels!😃
Transfer any amount you want without setting off any of those pesky “red flags”!The block-chain technology prevents you from having to worry about moving all that bulky cash!😁
CRYPTO CURRENCY! It’s the future of drug cartel transactions.😉
It’s amazing how this state wants to block anything that will stimulate our economy/further innovation… yup let’s just depend on tourism to keep our state afloat 🙄
Might be a good idea to keep cryptocurrency illegal in hawaii..most of these have low regulations and alot of scammers online which has happened often in the past plus inflation drop value in investment..
Use coconuts cuz 🤑
Just like Russia and China. Of course. Anyone with a brain larger than a pea can see what's going on.
Hawaii come on.. no wonder the people is struggling over here… no break
They’re taking everything from us so irraz
No lottery now no cryptocurrency haha yeah go fishing forever haha
Truemors are….. buy and sell what you like state law was null and void since first war reached Hawaii Nei soil
Crypto = Monopoly money
Start investing properly early, so your money has more time to grow.
Of course the rich are gonna tell the poor where and how they can earn money..
Lmfao…of.course..they fear they cant controll u if they cant CONTROLL your money
Meanwhile…. they raised the long term capital gains tax in Hawaii to 11%. Hawaii now has THE HIGHEST capital gains taxes in the country as well as the highest electricity costs along with everything else. Hawaii is a beautiful place aside from the stupid laws and the ass backwards/useless government (which never changes). Florida = freedom (and no state taxes).
Ponzie currency.
Hawaii is very good at bankruptcy and putting crooks in charge.
They can't even stop massage parlors, game rooms, fireworks and drugs
